Peachy Keen Stamps Challenge 26

Good Morning from Florida everyone!!! My sister, husband, and two babies (ages 2 and 11 months!) drove down from Wisconsin last Friday. Yikes! We've been having so much fun, though, and our daughters are LOVING the warm weather and Disney, of course!

We were completely WOW'ed with all the entries on this challenge. Everyone really did an excellent job, however there was one that stood out for us and that was Samantha Casey's! Just look at those peas in their "pod"! So very creative!! Samantha, please email us and we will email your $25 gift certificate. Congratulations!

Ready for the next challenge? We are! The challenge is to create a card using all of the items/colors/methods listed below:
  • Stitching (either by sewing needle or hand-drawn)
  • White and Orange (card could have more colors, but must include these two in the card)
  • Contain one upcycled item (something that could be thrown away but instead will make its way onto your work of art!)
  • Any Peachy Keen Stamp

P.S. Did you know that Peachy Keen Stamps are made with photopolymer, a substance that emits practically zero V.O.C.’s during production and since the excess polymer goes through a recycling process to make new Peachy Keen Stamps, it is much more environmentally friendly than traditional rubber? Cool, huh!?


Happy Earth Day!

Cards will not be judged, we will draw one random winner, and the prize package is listed below the designer posts. Please upload your card using Mr. Linky no later than April 18th.

Our designers really showed us some wonderful upcycle possibilities and the cards are gorgeous, to boot! Take a look:


Viv has created a simply sweet "Get Well Ducky" card using PK-266!






Lorie's gorgeous coloring compliments the creative use of paper beads and gold stitching using PK-251.



Janice has made a super sweet birthday project using the elephant from PK-222 and Lulee from PK-780.


Nikki used the plastic packaging from a set of stickers to create this underwater effect using sea creatures from PK-951 and PK-950.



Emma's little tree is SO adorable - she used some of the Everyday faces for her oranges!

Good luck!




Have a great day everyone!

Only one entry per person, please. The prize is listed at the bottom of this post.


Challenge 24 Sketch


Viv's gorgeous birthday card reminds me of a country garden! On the flower, she stamped a face from the Dolly Dumplins collection!


When I saw Lorie's card, all I could think was "My thoughts, exactly!" Lorie created this adorable Springy card using PK-261 and PK-259.



Janice has made this sad little teddy from PK-252 oh-so-cute with her lovely color combos and super sweet sentiment.


Jacqui has created a darling card with her take on one of the flowers from PK-229.


I love Nikki's modern pattern paper choice paired with the whimsical bumble bee from PK-244!


Emma's little flower power chickidee from PK-260 makes me smile!
