Peachy Keen LFIF Challenge #8

Friday, January 21, 2011 |

Posted by Kim Score |

Good morning all! It's been a pretty busy week here and I have another cute punch art idea for you! The Let's Face it Friday ladies needed to come up with an idea centered around X's & O's. So, of course I got to use my Love Impressions designer paper from Stampin' Up!. Peachy Keen came out with the new Valentine/St Pattys stamp release yesterday and Kathy outdid herself again! My NEW favorite face set was in the batch. It's called Wide Eyed and Bushy Tailed (check it out HERE). I used the 1 1/8" size set for the puppy face. Be sure to visit the challenge site HERE and check out the other great projects. Play along in the challenge for a chance to win a new Cricut Cartridge!

The puppy was created using the Ornament punch for the head, Large Oval for the ears, Medium Oval for the paws and Wide Oval for the body. I used close to cocoa textured cardstock. Clip top off ornament and round out bottom. Sponge edges of all cocoa pieces with chocolate chip ink. Stamp PKS face with black staz on. Add white highlight to nose with unibal gel pen. Apply rose ink to cheeks with stipple brush. Color tongue with cherry cobbler marker, inside of mouth with zig pen and add some depth around the mouth and eyes with a blender pen and cocoa ink. Attach ears with dimensionals. Attach head to body with dimensional. Attach paws to sign with dimensionals. The greeting is from the Stampin' Up! Seasonal Sentiments stamp set.

I wish you could see this card in person! I also used the Stampin' Up! red glitter paper and it's so gorgeous! I've used a lot of glitter papers in my crafting lifetime but I have NEVER worked with paper this awesome!

Step by Step Tutorial for Valentine Mouse Box

Punch the following pieces using Stampin' Up! punches:
2 Creamy Caramel 1 3/4" Circles - BODY
4 Creamy Caramel Modern Labels - ARMS & LEGS
1 Creamy Caramel Ornament - HEAD
2 Creamy Caramel 1 3/8" Circles - EARS
2 Creamy Caramel Medium Ovals - FEET
2 Creamy Caramel 3/4" Circles - PAWS
2 Blushing Bride 1" Circles - EARS
1 Creamy Caramel 2 Step Bird branch - TAIL

Assembly:

1) Trim the top off ornament and round out pointed bottom. Clip about one quarter off the bottom of each medium oval piece to form feet. Trim the leaves off the branch to form the tail. Sponge the edges of all caramel pieces with close to cocoa ink. Sponge the edges of the blushing bride circles with blushing bride ink.

2) Glue pink circles onto inside of 1 3/8" circles for ears. Glue 1 3/4" Circles together for body. Stamp face onto ornament using the Peachy Keen 1 1/8" Wide Eyed & Bushy Tailed stamp set (PK-758). Color in whites of eyes, highlights and teeth with a unibal white gel pen. Add color to the eyelids with blender pen and cocoa ink. Apply regal rose ink to cheeks with stipple brush (or lightly with sponge/dauber).

3) Glue ears onto back of head. Attach head to body with dimensional. Glue legs onto body. Attach feet to legs with dimensionals. Glue tail onto body. Glue arms onto body and attach paws with dimensionals (be sure to have "right" side of arms flat down on table (this is because arms will fold forward onto box. Assembled mouse looks like this:

Triangle Treat Box Assembly:

Cut a piece of acetate (window sheet/transparency) 5 3/4" x 5 3/4".

Along one side, score at 1 3/4", 3 1/2" & 5 1/4"

Along other side, score at 1 1/4" & 4 1/2"

Cut away the top and bottom sections as shown in this diagram:

Apply sticky strip or other strong clear adhesive to the 1/2" tab on the right side of the box as shown above. Sharpen the score marks. Adhere the 1/2" tab onto the other end of the box to form a triangular shaped tube. Fold the triangles at the top and bottom of the box inwards to close the end. Tape the bottom closed. Leave the top untaped so you can add treats. This box was created for the Reeses valentine peanut butter hearts. I think that the Hershey's Bliss heart candies may also fit. You can stack 6 hearts perfectly inside the box.

Attach mouse to back of box. Use dimensionals to attach paws to sides of box. Stamp and attach tag to box.

Raggedy Andy

Wednesday, January 19, 2011 |

Posted by Kim Score |

I had so much fun with my Raggedy Ann that I had to make a Raggedy Andy. As much as I liked my Raggedy Ann, I needed to make a smaller piecing so it could easily fit on an A2 size card. I came up with this cute little guy. I found that I liked the blushing bride color for the skin tone over the crumb cake which looked a little washed out in my photos.

I featured this little guy on my Split Coast Stampers tutorial today. This week, my Sliding Pop Up card is the technique of the week. Check out the tutorial HERE. Here is the card I created with my Raggedy Andy (tutorial is below).

EDIT: I've had a few people ask. I used the Sizzix Valentines #4 embossing folder set to create the background on this card.

Raggedy Andy Instructions:

1) Punch the following pieces:

3 Word Windows in blushing bride (arms & neck)

1 1/4" Circle in blushing bride (head)

1/2" Circles in blush blossom (hands)

2 Word Windows in blue (bibs)

Large Tag (used to be labeled small tag in catalog) in blue (bibs)

Designer Label in blue (bibs)

2 Small Ovals in stripe (sleeves)

Medium Oval in stripe (shirt)

3/4" Circles in black (shoes)

2 Scallop Ovals in cherry cobbler (hair)

1 3/8" Square punch in vanilla (hat)

1/4" Circle punch in cherry cobbler (buttons)

2) Cut one third off on each of the striped small ovals to create the sleeves. Cut both blue word windows in half. Round out the ends. Cut th designer label in half. Round out the top corners. Glue buttons onto bibs and draw button holes. Cut one scallop oval in half. Sponge edges with chocolate chip. Sponge edges of all blushing bride pieces with blushing bride Sponge edges of blue pieces with not quite navy ink. For hat, cut square in half corner to corner. Cut one of the halves into half. Sponge edges with crumb cake ink and glue smaller triangle onto larger triangle. Cut a 1/2" wide strip. Attach onto bottom of hat with dimensional and trim ends. Trim a little off the bottom of each black circle and round edges to create shoes.

3) Glue straps onto top of designer label. Using a 1/2" circle punch, punch a small half circle into the center top of the medium oval to create the neckline. Glue onto back of straps. Glue sleeves behind straps. Glue designer label onto top of large punch piece. Glue cuffs to pants. Draw on details and add highlights on pants with blender pen and navy ink. Attach feet with dimensionals. Glue neck onto back of body. Using the Peachy Keen Rag Doll Faces stamp set (found HERE), stamp the face onto the 1 1/4" circle. Add highlights to eyes with unibal gel pen and color nose and cheek hearts with cherry cobbler marker. Glue scallop oval onto top of head and trim away the top. Glue the other scallop oval halves onto back of head. Attach hat with dimensional. Attach head to neck with dimensional. Attach hands to arms with dimensionals. The string of hearts in his hands in the card sample are just 3/4" punched circles glued end to end with a red glitter heart popped onto the center of each circle.

We're back for another Peachy Keen Challenge! Please join the PKS design team for another fun Lets Face It Friday challenge HERE.

Play along on the challenge for a chance to win the Critter Faces stamp set!

Punches needed (all Stampin' Up):

Ornament in crumb cake - HEAD

1 3/4" Scallop Circle in cherry cobbler - HAIR

12 Small hearts in cherry cobbler - HAIR & COLLAR

Instructions:

1) To create the arms and legs, first punch the small oval in crumb cake. Line up the large oval over the top of the punched hole as shown.

2) Punch all of the pieces as shown:

3) Stamp the PKS Rag Doll face. Color the nose and cheeks with cherry cobbler marker. Add highlights to eyes with white gel pen. Round out the arms and feet. Sponge the edge of all crumb cake pieces with chocolate chip ink. Cut the 1 3/4" scallop circle in half and then trim away one scallop to create the hair pieces. Cut the vanilla circle in half. Glue a heart in the center of half circle to create collar. Trim away 3 scallops on each side of the 2 3/8" scallop circle to create the dress (2 scallops are at the top for the neckline). Sponge the edges of all cherry cobbler pieces with chocolate ink. Glue 4 upright hearts end to end. Glue 2 hearts together and flip upside down and glue to bottom of 4 heart string to create a braid.

Part of receiving this award is the following:

Thank the person who gave you the award on your blog
Share 8 things about yourself
Pass this award onto 8 other bloggers that inspire you

8 blogs that inspire me include:

8 Things about me:

I'm an accountant for my day job - far from creative!
I've been crafting most of my life - with fabric! My first creations were handmade barbie doll clothes when I was only 8. I discovered paper crafts 11 years ago (and consequently haven't done much sewing since!)
I'm primarily left handed, but because I was forced by my teachers to write and do other tasks with my right hand, I became ambidextrous. I write and eat with my left hand and do everything else with my right hand (I still don't know why teachers back in the 70's thought it was bad to be a leftie?)
I'm the queen of useless information. I can answer most questions about pop culture, 80's music, tv and movies. Plus I can sing just about any song from the 80's that you throw at me (funny how those silly lyrics stick in your head).
I was once on tv for about 30 seconds. I sad next to Tom Wopat when he did an introductory segment on Nashville Now (incidentally, he wore A LOT of makeup but he was my favorite Duke Boy).
I've driven every kind of junky car imaginable from my first car which was a rusted out Plymouth Horizon to a Renault Alliance that would overheat if allowed to idle for more than 30 seconds. Consequently, I've learned a lot about mechanics over the years and can change my own tires, oil, spark plugs, etc.
I'm 36 and have never had a cavity (I still cross my fingers every time I go to the dentist).
I love horror and sci-fi movies and dislike romantic comedies (although the 40 Year Old Virgin was pretty funny).
