"That's What Friends Are For" Peachy Keen Alumni Blog Hop!

GOOD MORNING & welcome to the very first "Peachy Keen Alumni Blog hop"! If you arrived here frome the "Peachy Keen Stamps Blog", then you are headed in the right direction! If not, you might want to go back & start there at the beginning! I am SO EXCITED to hop along w/my SUPER TALENTED Peachy sisters again! I just ADORE these ladies to pieces! This is going to be a SUPER FUN hop, so let's get started!;)

This first tag I made was using this FUN set from Peachy Keen called "HAPPY HOUR"! I used my new Tim Holtz distressed ink markers to color in my "Adult Beverages"! hehehe! I also added some glossy accents to make the glasses look real! 

For my second tag, I used the sentiment from "Happy Hour" & the ADORABLE clock, face & numbers are from the "April Stamp of the Month"!

I just LOVE LOVE LOVE my Peachy Keen stamps & I am SUPER HAPPY with how both of my tags turned out! You can see in my video below how I created this!

Here is my video for your today!:)

This wouldn't be a party w/o a giveaway!

Our very generous friends at Peachy Keen are offering three gift certificates as prizes for this hop.  Three of us along the hop will be giving away one $50, one $30, and one $20 gift certificate.  In order for hoppers to be eligible to win, you will all need to leave a comment on my blog , and end the hop with a comment on The Peachy Keen Stamps Blog.

Friday Tip of the Day ~ Episode 352

HAPPY FRIDAY!!!!! Welcome to another "late" Friday Tip of the Day! I actually had a little help from my "Mommy" today!;) She made this BEAUTIFUL Mother's day card & I asked here what color what the trim she used?! Then she told me that it was white & she dyed it using "Tea"! Yep, good ole "Lipton Tea" is what she used to color her trim she used on her PRETTY card today! (I think my mother needs a blog! just sayin!) ;)

This is what she used for her card: 

~ Sentiment from "Mom You Rock"

~ "Fancy Frame stamp & Die set"

~ Flower Petal Die

~ Yellow sheer ribbon from Joanns

~ used Tim Holtz's "Antique Linen" distress ink to ink up all edges of  her card! 

She did a few before & after samples for me using lace! Depending on how dark you want your item to be will determine how long you keep it submerged into the tea! I am curious to see what color it would be if I were to use a berry tea??? hmmmmm..... 

All she did was make the tea in a little pot, let it cool, then dip your lace/trim in it. The lace at the bottom was left in for 20 minutes & the white lace, she left in for 1/2 an hour! 

I made this quick & easy card for my BFF I went to highschool with! After we graduated, she went off to college & became the BEST nurse ever! I thought this was perfect since Nurse's Day is on Sunday!

Here is what I used for my card:

~ Sentiment is from "More Gift Card Sentiments"

~ Nurse Hat is from Paperdolls Everyday

~ Kraft Cardstock from Papertrey Ink

~6x6 Echo Park "Hello Summer" pad

~ Lace is from my Mother's stash & it is the one she tea dyed herself, I 

thought it would look CUTE on the nurses hat!;)

Here is my video for you today!

Thank you SO MUCH for visiting me today! Have a FABULOUS weekend & I will see you all back here on Monday for a Peachy Alumni Blog hop you DON'T want to miss!!! I AM SOOO EXCITED about it!

3-D Wednesday ~ " Mother's day" Episode 351

Good morning my creative friends & welcome to another 3-D Wednesday! Today my FABULOUS design team & myself are showcasing "Mother's Day" gifts for you! Since Mother's day will be here before we know it! I thought it would be a good idea to give you all some inspiration on what to make if you haven't thought of something already! 

Before I tell you about my project today, my candleholders were NOT doing well at their photo shoot AT ALL:(  But I PROMISE, they are ALOT PRETTIER in person!;)

What I did was take 2 pretty votive holders, added some tulle along w/my "Rolled Flower Die"! Can I just say that I LOVE LOVE LOVEY my dies??? I made 17 flowers in no time! There are approximately 9 flowers each votive. I used my hot glue gun to adhere them down. The picture ABOVE is how they look w/o the tealights in them & the pics below are what they look like WITH tealights! 

You can see in my video below, how I put this together!

Here is my video for you today!:)
