Peachy Keen Stamp Storage idea!

Here is my Peachy Keen stamp storage idea which I thought of while I was making a layout for Scrappy-go-Lucky, featured here. (Still a chance to win YOUR choice of Peachy Keens! Make sure you check it out!)

I wanted to make a system that showed each stamp in real size, with all the extras like chalking, gel pen, etc so I can see exactly what it looks like stamped. 

Two reasons:

1) Although a little Obsessive Compulsive,  AKA - super organised, I'm actually lazy when it comes to packing away things. So everything needs a little place!

2) I am slightly shallow... I like things in my scrap room to be PRETTYYYYYY or I don't use it. Simple as that. Lol.

This is a CD case I've had FOREVER! And I love it so much I can not throw it out. So I'm putting it to good use! Plus, my i-pod created lots of empty CD cases for me... perfect solution!

 So each CD case has a cover of stamps made up and on the edges have written the number Peachy Keen stamp they are, so I can reference them when I blog a layout. 

 Everyday Character Faces 1 1/8 "

 

 Boy Mates

Do you like my knitted jumper with gel pens?... oh so cute.

 

 Wide Eyed Kids 

 Can you see some of my most inspiring bloggers?

Popsicle Toes and Pinky!

Carlene in the gold (I was her gold bridesmaid)

I'll cry if my cricut ever breaks.

I don't know who the envious one is!

 Don't get your eyes checked... this photo is fuzzy!

Simple Simons. 

Then I made a set for Baby Animal Faces to match New Arrivals cuts.

Haven't quite finished this set yet, I loaned it out.

Then I created a set for all my ABC Animal faces to match Zooballoo cuts. I also wrote what size cut for each animal suits the stamp.

 

On Wednesday I am having a 100th follower/1 million laughs celebration for my fun blogging achievements. 

You can WIN the Zooballoo cartridge PLUS the ABC Animal Faces Peachy Keen stamps to match, just like this set! 

  I hope you'll stop by to visit then!

So I match each stamp underneath to be in line with the picture at the front. That way I can see where to put it back. (Don't tell me off for not cleaning those stamps well, they are hot off the stazon and my stamp cleaner isn't pretty enough!!!)

Now I'll have to keep making these CD cases for my NEW Peachy Keens arriving soon! I can't wait!

I'm also entering this stamp storage idea into the 'anything goes'  challenge #83 at PAPER CUTZ Challenge blog! 

And 'anything but a card' Challenge #126 at Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge.

Thanks ladies for the perfect challenge! 

P.S. Only one more day to enter Whimsical Wednesday Winter Challenge - Details here.

Scrappy Go Lucky have been Peachy-fied! Celebration Giveaway!

I'm thrilled to be celebrating the arrival of the cute Peachy Keen stamps at Scrappy-go-Lucky this week! 

I got so excited when I heard about them becoming available online in Australia, I made Mandy from Scrappy-go-Lucky a special present: 

 Mandy is going to frame it for the wall of her upcoming studio!

This week at Scrappy-go-Lucky is giving away a set of YOUR CHOICE of Peachy Keens!! Just comment under this post about which Peachy Keen Stamp set you want to win and also write it's price from the Scrappy-go-Lucky store.  Click here to go to the store and have a browse for your favourite. 

I love the Retro paper doll faces for $14 (on page 2) they are just so cute!

 

For my layout for Scrappy-go-lucky I was determined to used every stamp I had... I own 5 sets of Peachy Keens: Wide eyed Kids, Boy Mates, Simple Simons, Everyday faces and Animal faces and I barely used half of my stamps completing this layout. I ran out of room! 

One set is so versatile for all different characters, all you have to do is test it, and try it!

See the dinosaur in this layout, I used a Boy Mates face for him. Just layout your shape, cut a scrap piece of paper so it masks out the pieces of the stamp you don't want for that picture and then stamp as usual. Carefully take away the scrap and you are left with the image you want. 

There are a few ways you can remove the extra cuts that the Cricut makes so you can use the stamps. You can use  the BLACKOUT function and cut the shape, which is what I did with all my paper dolls: 

 Or you can use Design Studio or the Gypsy HIDE functions to hide certain parts. The Hide function in the Gypsy is in the Advanced tab. .

 

And then you select the parts of the picture (until it turns red) and push hide to hide it.

Cut out your shape and then stamp on your Peachy Keens!

The Peachy Keen are great value because you can use them for a WIDE range of characters... not just the ones the packet says... I've put mine on:

 Crayons

 Flowers

 

Aliens

 

I've even brought buckets and brushes to life!

 And...  I've even been a little bit naughty with them.

Lol. STILL laughing.

I KNOW I'm sounding like a sales rep!!! eek! But I'm just a happy, satisfied customer who believes in great products. When you win your set, you'll see why!
