Author Happy Veterans Day everyone! I wanted to give a special thanks to all the men and women that serve our country. Thank you for keeping us safe and for protecting our great nation!
I cannot believe that this is the final day of my guest designer week! I’m so grateful that Peachy Keen has given me such a wonderful opportunity to create projects with their awesome stamps and to share them with all of you Thank you Peachy Keen and thanks to everyone that followed along all week! I love reading your comments.
Today is Let’s Face It Friday so for the challenge I got to create a design team sample for you. Your challenge is to create a page or card using a PK face stamp that holds your favorite holiday recipe. So, I created the following card. I was dying to create some gingerbread people with PK-521 Winter Faces. Most of the paper is DCWV — except for the green paper on the inside of the card for which I used the Mr. Frosty Imagine cartridge to make the paper. I used the Jolly Holidays Cricut cartridge for the gingerbread people and the Storybook cartridge to weld together two shapes to make the shaped card. I finished it up with a little Copic coloring and some bling. I hope you enjoy it. I cannot wait to see what you create for the challenge. Don’t forget to link it up on PK’s challenge page before the deadline.

Hi everyone! I love the color pink and had been wanting to create a pink Christmas card. My Pink Stamper gave me just the right opportunity to do so. Robyn’s challenge was to create a card with 2 shades of pink, 2 shades of blue, and black and this is what I came up with. I added a jingle bell to the hat.

My daughter came to me and asked me to make a card that she could send to a soldier overseas. Her Jr. High English class has a voluntary project to send cards to soldier and she wanted to participate. So, I let her pick the Cricut cut and then I designed the card with her.
I really wanted to give some new inking techniques a try, so I created this card using an embossing and inking technique to create my own paper.
- Using a Studio G snowflake stamp, I randomly stamped a white piece of cardstock using Versa Mark
- I then used fine white embossing power and a heat gun to set it
- Next, I used Tim Holtz Distress Ink (Broken China) with a Tim Holtz blender and inked the entire page, making darker and lighter areas. The ink will not adhere to the embossed snowflakes so they stay white.
- Finally, I sprayed the paper with Tattered Angels Glimer Mist (Dazzling Diamonds) to give it a frosty look.
I think it turned out awesome. I am entering it in the following challenges. Wish me luck!
- Peachy Keen - Create a card or LO using embossing & PK stamps if you have them
- Paper Cutz - Create a project with a snowman or snowflake on it with the colors of your choice
- Paper Play Time – Create a project with a snowman or snowmen

I had been watching Tim Holtz and many other crafters making Christmas tags, so I had to give one a try myself. The inspiration for this tag was a Peachy Keen Face it Friday Challenge. The challenge is to create a project using a lunch bag. So, I decided to make the tag itself out of a lunch bag. Lunch bags are pretty thin, so I first glued a brown paper lunch bag to a piece of white cardstock. Then I cut the tag shape out using my Gypsy, Cricut, and the Tags, Bags, Boxes and more cartridge. Once the tag was cut out, I used a rubber stamp I just got from the craft store that had a bunch of writing on it. I wanted my tag to look vintage. So, I inked it up with Tim Holtz distressing ink. My crow was cut using the Jolly Holidays cartridge (I just love this cartridge). I used a Peachy Keen stamp for the face (my absolute most favorite stamps in the whole wide world). I do not have the set with the side profile on it so I had to improvise. I just inked up one eye from the Everyday Assortment Stamps in white. I use a feather boa on the hat. The sentiment is from a dollar Studio G stamp. I ordered some My Pink Stamper Christmas sentiment stamps but they haven’t arrived yet. I cannot wait for them to come in so I can use them. Hope you enjoy my tag.

Peachy Keen Challenge #41 was to create a card of encouragement. So, I thought I’d made a good luck card for a figure skater and this cute cut from the Jolly Holidays was perfect. Besides, I was itching to try out this new cartridge. I think she turned out absolutely adorable !!! The PK face really makes the girl. I thought the face stamp was going to be too big but it was just perfect. The PK stamp is from the Snow Cuties set. I also inked her face and legs with Stampin Up and Tim Holtz’s inks. For the white parts of her outfit, I glued down Martha Stewart ice cycle glitter with Glossy Accents. For the sentiment, I used my computer and Word and printed it on gray glitter paper from Recollections. I then cut out the sentiment in a square shape and used tacky tape to adhere red velvet ribbon around the corners and topped it with a knot bow. Her hair and jacket were blinged with my iRock. Finally, I used the left over snowflakes from the EK Success snowflake border and glued them on with Dotz. The background designer paper is from DCWV.
