Hi everyone, Viv here!

I made two projects with the delicious PK/Timeless Twine combo.

Who knew that there were umpteen different ways to use twine! 

(I didn't until now)!

Anyway, here is one of  two cards I made with the Timeless Twine's, 

'Krazy For Kraft & White' and ' Natural White'.

(These are my favourite colours)

 I used my twine to make haystacks for my Autumnal card.

I used  my Peachy 'Scarecrow Boy' stamp PKS-06 and the coordinating die PKKO-06

The sign is from PK-646  'Faceless Fall Fun'.

 The pumpkins are from CottageCutz Pumpkin Trio

All colouring was done with Copics.

Please pop over to my blog for another card I made with the PK/Timeless Twine combo.

Have a super week!

Vivienne Holden :: Sweet Ginger Christmas

Hi everyone, Viv here from Crafting Haven.
 I just managed a final Christmas in July card before it ends in the Peachy Keen Store!

(Loads of discounts and offers if you're quick)!!!

Here's my card.....

I die cut my adorable Gingerbread Boy (PKK-02) out of Crumb Cake CS.

Then used the coordinating Gingerbread Boy stamp (PKS-14) to stamp the whole image and then again onto some DKWV Christmas paper for paper piecing his overalls, hat band and bow. 

The white areas were coloured with a white gel pen. (Also from Peachy Keen).

The little holly motif in the corner was stamped and coloured with Copics, fussy cut and mounted onto the card with a glue dot the size of a small country!

The card was embossed with a huge Spellbinders M-Bossabilities folder EG-1002.

The triple bow was a pure fluke! I was experimenting with  my bow maker and accidentally created the bow and I have no idea how I did it! LOL

Well, I hope you enjoyed Christmas in July as much as I have 

(although most of my July was taken up with having a new bathroom fitted and all the muck and mess THAT entailed)! SO worth it though!

Don't forget to come back tomorrow for sneaky peeks at the fabulous August release!!

Happy crafting!

Vivienne Holden :: I Missed Your Birthday

 Hi Everyone,

Viv here with a little card that hopefully,
 will let whoever didn't get their birthday card, see the funny side. 

Do you think it'll work? Yeah... sure to! LOL

 

 Stamps used

 PK-1200

PKSC-12 

(I put the banner on dimensionals for bit more definition).

The candles and banner were coloured with Copic markers.

The paper is Docrafts 'Spots and Stripes.

I think those little guys show how sorry they are to have forgotten someone's birthday.

(Looks like they are blaming the middle candle)! Ha Ha.

You should really check out the Peachy Keen Stamp Club sets.
you can see them HERE.

(They are amazing value. There must be a million stamps in each set)! 

OK, there isn't a million, but it's not far off!

Well, I hope you liked my cheeky card today.

Thanks for stopping by!

Vivienne Holden :: I Love Ewe Card

The Peachy Keen release party last night was a total blast!!

Frantic? yes! Fun? You betcha! Challenges? Oh yeah! Prizes? Of course!

If you missed the party over on the PK ning site, 'The Peachy Keen Connection', You can still play along with the challenges.

Pop on over and check us out. If you aren't a member, please join us.

It's free and it's fun!

Well, I thought I'd make a card that comes from the new release.

(Well, it'd be rude not to, wouldn't it)?

Please go to the Peachy Keen Store to check out all the PKSC sets.

They are incredible VFM!  (value for money)

Isn't that little lamb CUTE!!

She's from the new Stamp of the month, PKSC-17.

I used PK-100 'Large Polka Dot Print  for the top halk of the background.

I embossed the bottom half with a Cuttlebug folder put through my Joy Trouvaille machine.

(It's the skin coloured Dutch version of the Grand Calibur).

It may be ugly, but it works for me! 

I embossed the bassinet with the SU Basket Weave EF.

The doily is English Tea Party by Cheery Lynn.

I colured everything with Copics except for the polka dots.

They were stamped with Memento Rose Bud.

The lace, (from my stash), was adhered with red line tape to make sure it didn't come off.

I hope you liked my project and if you would like to see loads more from this release, please have a wander round here, or, if you are viewing this from my blog, (and I hope you are), *smile* please visit the Peachy Keen blog for umpteen more fabulous projects using this CUTEST of stamp sets!

Vivienne Holden :: Happy Birthday Bear

Hi and welcome to my project!
It's Viv here from Crafting Haven to share a card with you today.

This is nothing like what I'd originally planned...but then, none of my cards usually are! lol

 I LOVE me those cute bears!!!

This is a tent card using quite a few Peachy Keen Stamps.

I created a background with white card and added the sun on dimensionals.

The tree and the daisies are stamped straight onto the white card.

I added 'clouds' by masking the tree and the flowers and sponging over a die cut cloud.

The cute teddy is peeking from behind the die cut circle.

 I adhered a piece of card to the back of the head and attached it to the back of the card.

All colouring is done with Copics.

Stamps used...

PKSC-13

PK-120

PK-531

PK-246

I have photos of each stage on my blog. (I would love you to visit).

Thanks for stopping by and looking at my project.

I hope you enjoyed it.
