April Showers Bring...

I wanted to share a mini sized card (3"x4") that I made to fit a gift card for Easter inside.

I made this up with the color/photo challenge at Peachy Keen Stamps in mind. The colors and picture just reminded me of spring in its sweet subtle pastel colors. What pretty inspiration:

This is what I came up with. A cute little chickie with her umbrella.

I used the following items to make this: Peachy Keen Stamps - CottageCutz Shower Peepers Dies and stamps. I also used the PK-107 Cloudy Day stamp by Peachy Keen Stamps. For the card base I made a shape card out of My Creative Time's Stitched 3x4 Journal Die and I also used the Stitched Grass Die as well.

Have a great day! Hugs- Glora

Angelica's Farewell Blog Hop

Hello friends. Today we are having a blog hop to wish our sweet friend Angelica good luck in her new endeavors. We also wanted to thank her SO much for all that she has done for those of us on the Peachy Keen design team. She has been a joy to work with and I'm thankful to have her as a friend. You should have arrived here from DoBea's blog. If not make sure that you get the whole blog hop in by starting at the Peachy Keen Stamps blog.

I will just tell you a little bit about the products I used to make this card and send you on your way. I used the Shower Peepers dies by Peachy Keen Stamps and CottageCutz. I colored her up with Copics and Chalks. I added a bow with hemp twine from Liz's Paper Loft Boutique.The 'thank you' sentiment is from the PKS Gnomegrown stamp set. I cut the grass from the Everyday Paper Dolls Cricut cartridge and the awesome stitched clouds are a die from the Fly Away With Me Dies by My Creative Time. I think that is about it, other than THANK YOU so MUCH Angelica and BEST of LUCK!

Your next stop on the hop is Erin.

Here is the full line up in case you get lost along the way...

Peachy Keen Challenge #5

Today is the start of another Peachy Keen Challenge. We are making 3D projects that have to do with the weather (no cards and no layouts).

I made a sweet little spring gift box.

I used the Spring Holiday Cards Cricut cartridge for the box. I just made the box as large as I could on my Gypsy. It turned out to be a very nice size. The scallop and circle are from the Mini Monograms Cricut cartridge. And this adorable little spring chicken and umbrella are from a set called Shower Peepers. This is one of those darling stamp/ die combos that Peachy Keen Stamps and Cottage Cutz make together. This little chickie was just too cute not to make up for the weather theme. 

I tried something new for me, I cut everything on white cardstock and colored her with Copics and some chalk. My friends Lorie and Janice do this A LOT and I wanted to give it a try. I really love the extra depth and dimension it adds to the dies, I will definitely be trying this again.

I hope you will join in on this fun PKS challenge and I'm really looking forward to some of the sweet spring rain! Hugs- Glora
