Peachy Keen Stamps :: Sketch Challenge 46

This is for the Peachy Keen Challenge. It's a birthday card for my mom.

To make this card:
I used the Smiley Cards cartridge on my Gypsy. I cut the birthday cake at 3 inches.
For the face on the cake, I used the Peachy Keens PK-490 Everyday Character Face Assortment stamp set. I used 1 3/8" size.
The printed paper was from We R Memory keepers.
I used pink glitter paper for the icing.
The inside sentiment stamp is from Inkadikado, -friends and family are your whole life set.
I used a gold Martha Stewart glitter pen for the flames and edges of the card

Yellow skittles are used on the four corners of the card.
I used the Spots and Dots Embossing folder from Provo Craft.

Thank You Card

This is a card I made for a friend of mine. I used color pencils to color the butterfly. I plan to get Copics markers. It's just not in my budget right now, so the pencils will have to do. I also used Stickles to make it shine. I hope she likes it!

Let's Face it Friday - Altered Card Storage (Peachy Keen)

This is a Cheezit box and a scrap piece of chipboard I had. I save a ton of cereal boxes and other chipboard items just to alter. I tore the box apart and covered it with pink paper and the lid was done with that wonderful blue paper. Then I put the box back together with the opening on the side.

Then cut a cream color paper 8 1/2 inches wide and 5 inches tall. I used the Martha Stewart loop punch all around this cream paper to create a doily like look. I then cut the Word LOVE from the Storybook Cricut Cartridge. It was cut at 2 inches. There was four different layers to these letters. I love this cartridge. The letters are so fancy.
I cut the flowers, leaves, hearts and circles from the Platin Schoolbook Cricut cartridge. The big flowers with hearts were cut at 2 inches and the inner layer flower was cut at 1 1/2 inches. Hearts for the faces were cut at 1 inch.The smaller flowers with circle faces were cut at 1 1/2 inches. The circles were cut at.60 inches. The other flowers were 1". Then I just used stickles for the center of the rest of the 1 inch flowers.
The leaves were cut at 1 and 1 1/2 inches.
I used peachy keens PK- 506 Too Much Fun Faces 1/2" face stamps for the centers of the flowers. 3 pieces of double sided stick velcro is used to keep it shut. I plan to keep future Valentines day cards from my husband in here.

Here is the recipe for my card

The card size is 5" wide and 7" tall

All the printed paper is from The Paper Studio.
-Pink Diagonal Hearts
-Hugs & Kisses
-Tiny Red hearts
The balloons are from Create A Critter. I cut the big one at 3 1/2 inches and the three little ones at 2 inches. I them attached them with foam dots so they would stand out on the page and give the tags something to rest on. I inked all the balloon edges with a red ink pad.
The three tags are from Tags bags boxes and more at 3 inches . I used the seventh one in the first row.
Inside the card I cut the Accent blackout/(birthday Girl) twice from the cartridge Storybook. Once at 4.80 and once at 4.30 on my gypsy.

I used a Martha Stewart scallop 3 dot punch for the trim piece down the middle.

I printed all the sentiments for my card from my computer.

Everything I inked on the card was done with a red ink pad. I used a red glitter pen for the balloons tongue.

The Peachy Keen Stamps I used were - PK-506 Too Much Fun Faces(1/2")for the little balloons, and PK-574 Basic paper Dolls Faces for the big Balloon.

The fun thing about this card is that it has hidden coupons for you valentine. I show a sample of what your coupon can say. The rest are between me and my Valentine. I can't tell you all my secrets. lol So just use your imaginations and find the right coupon for your sweetheart. Also if you like my card please follow my blog I plan to add three new card designs soon. Wish me luck in the contest! Also I love comments!
