LUCKY Banner

Hello Peachy Keen Fans. Today is my day to post on the Peachy Keen Blog and I have another project using those beautiful 4" faces by Peachy Keen Stamps. I love to make banners for each holiday and I love to have people or animals holding up the banner. I was so excited when the 4" faces came out because now I can make some bigger banners.

Here is what the whole banner looks like:

I know they look tiny on here but those leprechauns are actually about 11.5" tall. Aren't they adorable? They are from the Simply Charmed Cricut cartridge. Here is the first one closer up, I used the Happy Lash Mouth Open With Tongue Out 4" stamp:

And here is the leprechaun on the end, closer up, for him I used the Happy Lashes Mouth Open 4" stamp:

And last of all here is a close up of one of the letters, I used the Lucky Day Shamrock background stamp on each of the letters. It makes the perfect St. Patty's Day paper. I REALLY love this background stamp. The shamrocks are from the Designer's Calendar Cricut cartridge and the letters are from Birthday Bash:

I wish you could all see this in person, it is a terrific size with the leprechauns at 11.5" and the shamrocks at 4.5". Anyway, I hope you like it and that it inspires you to try something new and fun. Hugs- Glora

3D Wednesday with My Creative Time - St Patty's Day Treats

Hello and welcome to another 3D Wednesday at My Creative Time. 

For my project today I made little St Patty Day treat holders. My mother-in-law had brought my girls the cutest Valentine treats in containers just like this (except with a heart cut out and they were pink and red but you get the idea - the STYLE was the same). Anyway, after my girls had taken the candy out I opened it up and saw how easy it would be to replicate in my Gypsy and so I did. 

All it took was a rectangle from Plantin' Schoolbook (3" by 8") welded to a scallop edge from Plantin' Schoolbook (3" wide). Then I added a shamrock from the Designer's Calendar cartridge (add it upside down because when you assemble it will end up right side up). I cut it out and then I scored it a 3.25", 4.75" and 8" and voila, I was done with the basic container.

After cutting and scoring I decided to clear emboss the front with the cute Lucky Day Shamrock background stamp by Peachy Keen Stamps and I added a fun sentiment from Emma's darling I Believe in Leprechaun's stamp set.  I REALLY love these two sentiments I used because they are PERFECT to use ANY time of the year.

For the candy I put it in a tiny treat bag and stapled it in place. Then I added the white scallop piece to cover the staple and a little bit of twine and I was done. Easy but cute. I hope you enjoyed these. I can't wait to see what Emma and the rest of the design team have in store for us! Hugs- Glora

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

I know, Valentine's Day hasn't even come and gone yet... but I got my beautiful Peachy Keen stamps in the mail and could not wait to start playing with them. So I imagine you will be seeing a fair share of St Patty day projects mixed in with my Valentine ones for a bit.

Anyway, I think this is the CUTEST leprechaun I have ever seen so I just had to make him up. Seriously, it seemed like he was just smiling at me daring me not to stamp and color him ;).

Do you see that beautiful patterned paper. It is a brand new Peachy Keen Stamps background stamp called Lucky Day Shamrock. I used my favorite background stamp technique and I stamped it with a watermark ink pad. Then I sprinkled it with CLEAR embossing powder, heated it up with my heat gun and VOILA a beautiful, glossy, embossed background. The cute little leprechaun and sentiment come from the Kiss Me Leprechaun stamp set. And for the golden colored piece behind the leprechaun I cut out Emma's XL Label Die and stamped it with one of the coordinating XL Label Border stamps.

Okay that is it for today. I hope you are having a wonderful and lucky day! Take care! Hugs- Glora
