Theme Day Thursday - Use Peachy Keen Stamps

Oh I have been waiting for this day!!
The theme for today was to use one of my most favorite things, Peachy Keen Stamps!!
I love, love, love using Peachy Keen stamps on my projects.

I decided to make a St. Patty's Day card, using the
Peachy Keen February Stamp of the Month.
This stamp set is filled with the most
adorable St. Patty's Day images.
Now I used Art Philosophy and
Mini Monograms to make the base of the card.
All other images are Peachy Keen Stamps!!

I cut this window card out with my gypsy by first
putting the scalloped card base
from Art Philosophy on the mat, at 8"w x 9" h.
I then placed 3 scalloped squares on the
front of the card base.
The squares are 2.52" w x 2.8" h.
So the result was a window card!! 
Of course I saved the scalloped
squares to use on another project.

Next came the stamping!!  I stamped 2 of the
4 leaf clovers on to green cardstock.
I stamped the hat onto white cardstock and the
 face onto a blush colored cardstock.
I colored the hat using my Stampin Up Markers
and highlighted with a metallic gel pen.


I added some glossy accents and chalk to the face.


I outlined the 4 leaf clovers with lime green stickles.
The LUCKY sentiment is also from the same set!!
The pattern paper is from a holiday pack by Papercraft.
The two clovers and the leprechan were
mounted onto action wobbles.I finished the card off
with some crinkle ribbon from Praire Bird Boutique.

I hope you enjoyed my card today, I know it make me smile!!

I will be entering this card into the following challenges:

Card Creating Tuesday - Use Heat Embossing


Today is

For today's project, we could use the
provided sketch, or use heat embossing.
I chose to use heat embossing for my card today.

I used the following supplies:

Celebrate with Flourish Cricut Cartridge
Martha Stewart Seasonal Cake Art Cartridge
Al La Mode Embossing Powders
Corrdinations Cardstock
PP is from Papercraft
Cuttlebug Embossing Folder
My Craft Spot Crinkle Ribbon
Glitter Cardstock
Glimmer Mist
Close to My Heart "Easter Eggs" Stamp Set
Versamark Dazzle Ink Pad

I started off by stamping several different
Easter Eggs from the CTMH stamp set.
I love this set because it has about 12 different
stamps with different patterned eggs.
I stamped them all on white cardstock.
I then applied embossing powder in several pastel colors.
I used my heat gun to heat up the embossing powder.



Next, I sprtized each of the eggs with
Glimmer Mist in the coordinating color to
the embossing powder.  I cut each of the eggs out.

I cut the easter basket and all it's layers from
Celebrate with Flourish at 4.5"
I used a basket weave Cuttlebug folder on the basket.
I cut the eggs down to size so they would fit in the basket.
The sentiment was cut from
Martha Stewart Seasonal Cake Art at 2".
