Hello Peachy friends! Today is my last day as a Peachy Keen Guest designer. =[ I have really enjoyed it and I'm actually a little sad it's coming to a close. My project today is for the LFIF challenge. The challenge is "Think Spring" handmade gifts! I am already in the Spring mode, as you can see from my projects this week, so I was up for the challenge!!
I decided to create a gift bag for my BFF with another favorite Peachy Keen Stamp set....Retro Face Assortment. We are both always giving eachother crafty goodies we pick up along the way after one of us has gone shopping. It is usually stuff we find on a really good sale. We usually just hand it to the other in whatever store bag it came from. I thought this was the perfect opportunity to whip up a cute little bag for the next shopping trip. I just know she will LOVE it! (I'm sure she will see this post, but I knew she would love actually seeing something that is especially for her. Whenever I make a card she likes, I always get the call, "When are you sending me that card?"...LOL) So...Kim, this is for you, but you can't get it until I go shopping!!! HEHE!!
I used a black gift bag, layered it with some Papertrey Ink cardstock and ribbon, and a butterfly from the Create a Critter Cricut cartridge. The butterfly is cut at 3.71". I thought that Retro face added just the right touch. I just LOVE LOVE LOVE that face. It is fun to color, too. It's like you are putting on her makeup! I used my Spica glitter pens for her eyes and lips and a little chalk for her cheeks. I added some white fabric thickers for a little extra POP! I know I went a little crazy on the bling! I just couldn't stop! I actually removed a bunch, too!
I hope you play along in the "Think Spring" challenge! I think we're ALL ready for a little SPRING! You just have to use a Peachy Keen face and make a gift-themed project (treat bag, pail, set of cards, tags, wall hanging, etc.) Head on over to Peachy Keen Stamps to play along. They are giving away GLIMMER MIST for the prize!! I haven't even told you about my Glimmer Mist addiction yet, have I? Let's just say that I'm randomly Glimmer Misting everything! I could go on and on. I'll save it for another post.
Don't forget about the giveaway! Just leave a comment on any of my posts this week here and/or Peachy Keen Stamps Blog for a chance to win the Laughy Taffy Face Assortment. I will choose a random winner TOMORROW morning and post the winner at the end of this post and on my blog. Good luck!
Thank you all for all of the sweet comments this week. I loved reading all of them! I would also like to thank the sweet folks at Peachy Keen Stamps for having me as their guest designer this week. I feel so honored to even be a small part of such an incredible stamp company! I hope that you found some more uses for those adorable Peachy faces!
Peachy hugs,
Kimmy

Peachy Keen Guest Designer Week 6: Day 4
Happy Thursday! This is day 4 of my 5 days as a guest designer with Peachy Keen Stamps. I want to thank you so much for all the lovely comments. I read each and every one of them and they always make me smile. I hope you all have found at least a little inspiration this week. Peachy Keen faces really are a blast to work with! I can't get enough of them! There are many to choose from and I always get asked about what set to start with. Honestly, if you just pick a set of faces that YOU really like, it is easy peasy to incorporate them with most any project. For example, I often use the Princess faces on animals, etc. Hope that helps some of you that are new to Peachy Keen Stamps. I have used a different set each day this week, highlighting some of my favorite faces (now, that was FUN!).
Today's card kind of took on a life of its own...LOL. I started making a cupcake and ended up with a baby bunny!! Long story. I do this ALL the time. That pretty new Graphic 45 paper was sitting on my craft table and I just couldn't resist using it. Just didn't work with the cupcake. So...from cupcake to this:
I used the Peachy Keen Stamps Everyday Character Face Assortment-PK 490 to stamp the adorable face. This set was my very first Peachy set. Very special to me! This little baby bunny was cut from the Simply Charmed cartridge. I used the Swiss Dots cuttlebug folder on some kraft cardstock and inked up the very top of the embossing. A little ribbon, some buttons and teeny tiny pearls, a Pink by Design stamp, all layered on top of that yummy Graphic 45 Once Upon a Springtime paper, and VOILA! A Peachy-fied card for somebunny special!
Oh, and don't forget about the Laughy Taffy Face Assortment stamp set giveaway going on NOW. Leave a comment on ANY of my posts this week here and/or peachykeenstamps.blogspot.com, for a chance to win. I will pick a random winner on Saturday morning. Have a FABULOUS day!
ETA: I have a fun little tip for you. The sentiment I used is from Pink by Design Go Green Stamp Set and is all on one line. Well, this card is a mini, 4.5" x 4.5", and I just didn't have the room to stamp it that way. No problem! Just ink the stamp as normal, put a piece of tape over the second word, stamp, ink it up again, tape over the first word, stamp the second word underneath the first. Easy peasy and you can get even more versatility out of your stamp sets!
Peachy hugs,
Kimmy

Peachy Keen Guest Designer Week 6: Day 3
Hello Peachy friends! I am back with another Peachy Keen Stamps project today. I really love how this card turned out and having those face stamps sure makes it easier! When designing this card, I knew that I wanted to make an owl with my favorite little face from the Critter Faces Medium Set. !sn't that face just the cutest?! I love it when cards come together so well and you just get that warm fuzzy feeling when you look at them! Make sense? Well, I felt that way with this one. That face mixed with that cute owl and pretty colors just makes me happy. And...it was easy to make...a plus!

Peachy Keen Guest Designer Week 6: Day 2
Hi everyone! Kimmy here from Scrappin With Kimmy. Thanks for stopping by to check out my Peachy Keen guest designer spot. I will be at the Peachy Keen Stamps blog all week and I am having the best time! I just LOVE those Peachy Keen faces! Now that Valentine's Day is behind us, how about a Spring card? I am SO ready for Spring!! Although I live in Florida, this Winter has been unusually chilly. I don't think I'll ever complain about the hot Florida sun again...LOL. I miss it soooo badly! Anyhoo, I thought I would create a bright and Spring-y card for today's post.
I cut some flowers in three different sizes from the Mother's Day Bouquet Cricut cartridge and added those adorable faces from the Princess Face Assortment - PK640. Another favorite of mine! You can add them to just about anything! This is definitely my most go-to set.
Don't forget about the Laughy Taffy Face Assortment giveaway. Peachy Keen Stamps has generously donated a set for me to give away and I chose the Laughy Taffy set because that set is my favorite and a "must-have"! To make it easy, I have decided to choose a random winner from ALL of the comments left on ANY of my posts this week here OR over at the Peachy Keen blog. I will choose the winner Saturday morning.
Thanks again for stopping by! I am looking forward to the rest of my week at Peachy Keen Stamps and I would like to thank them again for having me. I am really having the best time making all things "Peachy"!
I hope you all were able to gain a little inspiration today! Have a wonderful, crafty, and "Peachy" day!

Peachy Keen Guest Designer Week 6: Day 1
Happy Valentine's Day!! I am so excited to be a Peachy Keen Stamps guest designer this week! I have to admit that this is my favorite time of year to make cards. Hearts are my favorite shapes and pink is my favorite color! Needless to say, I was in heaven making this card with my favorite Peachy Keen Stamps set!
I used one of my favorite faces from the Laughy Taffy Face Assortment . (Warning: I LOVE all of my Peachy Keen Stamp sets, so you will probably hear me say the word "favorite" ALL week). I really like the versatility of this stamp set and I find that I use it A LOT! So much fun! I used the Rock Princess Cricut cartridge to cut the adorable heart and wings and glittered them up with some gorgeous Martha Stewart Tourmaline glitter.
I used my Spica glitter pens to add some color to her eyes and lips.
Included in the Laughy Taffy Assortment, is also this cute little stamp:
How fun is that?! I just HAD to stamp that on the back of my card! Too cute!
Guess what? The generous folks at Peachy Keen Stamps are letting me give away these:
One lucky random winner will get the Laughy Taffy Face Assortment!!!! All you have to do is leave a comment over at the Peachy Keen Stamps blog and/or here on my blog. Easy peasy! I will choose a winner on Saturday morning.
Thanks for stopping by and I wish all of you a FABULOUS Valentine's Day!
Hugs,

A Lotta Cupcake Cards!!
Hi friends! Okay, so I'm sure you are real sick and tired of me saying I'm back, only to go MIA, yet again! Well, all I can say is that I have FINALLY gotten myself somewhat organized, craft-wise and personally...LOL. NO MORE going MIA for long periods of time...at least not w/out warning! Promise.
I was on a bit on product overload (if that's at all possible) and did some rearranging in my craft room. I really let things get out of control in there and I just couldn't take it anymore! I bought the embellishment center from Michael's and I just LOVE it! They had a great sale on their Jetmax storage (40% off) AND I received a coupon via email for an extra 25% off entire purchase, even sale items! Now, that was a great deal! The retail price is almost $80.00 and I ended up getting it for around $35.00. I bought some of the plastic jars, too. You will be surprised at how much stuff you can get in those! Also, the ribbon holder holds quite a bit of ribbon.
Now, onto today's project. I have to say I never thought these cupcakes would end! I was at a point where I wanted them out of my life for good, BUT, now that they are finished, I am pleased with the result! I made 12 of them. Some for the boys to give as Valentines to their teachers and some for friends. They are tiny, but cute enough to eat!! =]
![]() |
| My pictures really stink lately! I am not sure if it is my camera or the way too advanced for me photo program that came w/ my new pink netbook. I am working on it! |
Recipe:
Sweet Treats Cricut Cartridge (shape card & layers cut at 3.24" on my Gypsy)
Patterned paper - Little Yellow Bicycle Tonal Polkahearts from Artful Delight's January Kit (I just started their kit-of-the-month this month and I am IN LOVE WITH IT!!!!
Cardstock and ribbon - Papertrey Ink
Imaginesce I-rock tool for bling
Martha Stewart Tourmaline glitter (YUMMY!)
I was just going to add a sentiment inside, but I thought they needed a little something else. I added the little "Sweet" piece after the fact (should of done this BEFORE, because I had to go and pull all of the hearts up to add it, but oh well! =/ )
I hope you all are enjoying your weekend so far! I am having a nice and relaxing weekend with my boys. They are still in the honeymoon period with their XBox Kinnect that they got for Christmas, so I will definitely be crafting in between hearing "Mooooooooooooooooooom"! LOL. Gotta love 'em!!!
Hugs,
Kimmy

Peachy Keen Stamps - LFIF Challenge: Thank You Card
Happy weekend, friends! I promise I really am back in full force, as I stated a few days ago! I have been trying to get ahead on my Peachy projects for my guest designer week coming up. A priority on my New Year's Resolution list is to actually work AHEAD of deadlines! I'll let you know how that goes...LOL. Anyhoo, I wanted to share my card for the Peachy Keen Stamps "Let's Face It Friday" Challenge. The challenge is to use a Peachy Keen Face stamp and create a thank you card for any occasion. You should come and play along with us! You have until Janurary 20th. I LOVED making this card and it really just makes me happy! Can you tell that I just recently got an I-Rock?! I LOVE that thing! I think I left it on a couple of the gems too long, as some glue came oozing out. I was too afraid to mess with it and make a mess out of my cardstock! Lesson learned for next time...hehe!!
Sorry about the shadows and lighting. I just took this pic tonight. I usually take all of my pics outside. I will take another one tomorrow during the day and replace this one.
Recipe:
Smiley Cards (digital cartridge that came w/ Gypsy promotion); flower cut at 3.59"
Peachy Keen face stamp - Princess Face Assortment
Patterned paper - K & Co. Super Paper Pad (I got this at JoAnns & it is HUGE. LOVE it)
Imaginisce i-rock; Glam Rocks, Color Fusion

Raspberry Fizz saddle stitch ribbon, Papertrey Ink
Sentiment stamp, Signature Series: Butterfly mini-stamp set

Thanks for looking!

Handmade With Love
Hi everyone! I am back after taking some "catch up" time and I am SO SUPER EXCITED about all the plans I have in the works for my blog!! I sure have missed you guys!
Today's card was inspired by a card in the new Cricut Magazine. Did you know that you can subscribe to a digital edition?! It is SO much cheaper and you can access it NOW! It is $4.95 a month and they charge you monthly. I did it, although I am a hold-it-in-your-hands card magazine addict! I LOVE my card/crafting magazines and spend way more than I should, so I thought I would give digital a try. There are a lot of pros to it, actually. If you are interested in subscribing digitally, click HERE. I have gotten used to accessing it online and I love how you can click on links in the supply sections and go directly to the merchant sites. It's pretty cool! I scraplifted this card from the magazine because I just LOVED the doily! I recently found some doilies with my table linens during the holidays and immediately moved them to my scrap room! Doilies are EVERYWHERE right now and I just LOVE LOVE LOVE them! All hail the doily! I inked mine up a little with some distress ink so it wouldn't look SO stark white.

Anyway, here is a card I made yesterday using my new Twinkle Toes Cricut Lite cartridge. I am LOVING this cartridge!

Crafting With Cristina's Companion Challenge - A Jolly Holidays Card
Hi Friends! Here is the card I made for Crafting With Cristina's companion challenge. The challenge was to use a holiday song to inspire you. The story behind this card is kinda funny! I was talking to my friend who was starting to decorate her house. She said "I'm decking the halls" today! I immediately pictured a little elf running around "decking the halls" and... so is this lil' elf...lol. I LOVE Christmas elves and that's why I HAD to have this cartridge. I was on a mission to get it!!!!! It is so stinkin' cute. Oh, I forgot to mention that this elf was holding Christmas lights, which I promptly chopped off. They were just too little for me and were becoming a bit messy, so an easy snip solved that problem...LOL Hope you like my card! Now, head on over to Crafting With Cristina and check out her beautiful project and her challenge!
Hugs,
Kimmy

Shaken, Not Stirred...
Hi friends! Well, when I woke up this morning it was COLD! I am so happy...LOL! I'm sure it won't last long, but I'm going to enjoy it while it lasts and even though it still gets warm during the day. I have been loving the new digital Smiley Cards download on my Gypsy and here is a card I made last night. I recently got the Jump & Jive stamp set from Pink by Design and as soon as I saw that sentiment, I knew exactly what I was going to make. I also just added Laughy Taffy to my Peachy Keen Stamps collection and I just HAD to use this face...lol! I am LOVING this set! So much fun! Enjoy and have a HAPPY FRIDAY! I'm going to head out to the grocery store and get some hot cocoa...hehe! :)

A Very Merry Christmas Smiley Cards Gingerbread Girl
Happy Thursday folks! Here is a sweet and simple card I made using Smiley Cards from the new Gypsy update. The weather here has been pretty dark and gloomy, so I will try and get a better picture when it clears up. We are FINALLY getting some cooler weather here in Florida this weekend and I am ready! Sometimes it is hard to get inspired to make Christmas cards when the air conditioner is running and it feels like a sauna when you walk outside...LOL. I plan on having lots of hot cocoa with my kids and lighting the fireplace this weekend (at night, though, because it will still be warm during the day)...hehe...gotta LOVE Florida! Anyhoo, enough about the weather, here is my card:
Supplies used:
Smiley Cards (new digital cartridge on my Gypsy)
Inkadinkado sentiment stamp
Papertrey Ink cardstock
Die Cuts with a View Patterned Paper
Fiskars border punch - Apron lace
American crafts ribbon (red, green, and white)
Red ribbon on gingerbread girl from Joann's
Sakura white gel pen
P.S. Today my order from Papertrey Ink is coming! I always feel like a little kid when I am waiting on a PTI order...LOL!

Hi friends! Well, I've updated my Imagine and I can now use my Gypsy with it!! I can't fill in the images with color yet, but I'm still excited. I just get nervous when I can't use my Gypsy on a project...LOL. I do have to admit I've been getting a little discombobulated (spelling?...this is my favorite word!) with all the switching of machines! My mats have been paying the price of my discombobulation. As soon as I get used to putting the paper one way, then I switch machines, and cut all over my mats....EEK! I am definitely a creature of habit and I will be SO happy when all is normal in my Cricut world...LOL! Anyhoo, here is today's card. I was able to design this on my Gypsy and cut it on the Imagine just like I would with my Expression. The only difference is, the Imagine cuts a lot better!! Slower, but better.
Recipe:
Create a Critter Cricut Cartridge
Peachy Keen Stamps Critter Faces Medium
Inkadinkado Sentiment Stamp
Papertrey Ink cardstock and Rustic Snowflakes Patterned Paper

Gingerbread "People" Tags - Winter Frolic
Hi everyone! I feel like I have been gone from you all forever! It seems like everything I've made over the past few days was a huge bust!!! Do you ever feel like you're overthinking your designs and then your project ends up looking like a mess? Well, that's how I've felt lately! I ended up scrapping those projects for now and decided to go back to the drawing board. I was really feeling the need to actually FINISH something, so I decided to go super simple, which for me, always works out best. I just received my latest Peachy Keen Stamps order and I knew I needed to see those Snow Cutie Faces asap! So, when there's a Peachy Keen 911, and you need to stamp that face NOW, what do you do? Make a quick tag, of course! LOL! I think these are SO cute and I plan on making a ton for the holidays!
Supplies:
Winter Frolic Cricut Cartridge ( I cut them around 5")
Papertrey Ink kraft cardstock
Making Memories ribbon
Sakura white gel pen
buttons
red gems ~ Martha Stewart

Scaredy Cat Paper Doll Dressup Card
Hope ya'll are enjoying the Fall!! I sure am happy to catch a break from the heat and humidity here in Central Florida! Here in Florida we get so excited when the weather drops even a little that we break out the jackets and the chili pots...lol! I was at the grocery store yesterday and noticed that the chili beans' shelves were nearly empty! Anyhoo, enough about the weather. How about a card to get into the spirit of the season?! I had actually cut this little cat from the Paper Doll Dressup cartridge a while back for another another project and didn't end up using him. I thought he was just too cute to just sit there lonely on my work table!
