Hello crafty peoples... I'm back!!!

Well we are half way through the year and as you know we'll start seeing Christmas in July!!

So I thought today that is just what I'd do... a Christmas Card using many of my favorite items from PINQUE PEACOCK. Personally I LOVE Christmas and would celebrate it everyday if I could... hehehe! I used one of fun Christmas Embossing Foldes and some G45 from the Twelve Days of Christmas Collection to put together this simple card. I added a bit of Aleene's True Snow to the tree and the penguins hat... I am still learning how to use this stuff so stayed tuned for that...lol!!! I added a scrap piece of ribbon I keep in my hat box of scraps and next a Fabric Splendid Swirl in the Frosty Peeps fabric.



Hurry on over to Pinque Peacock and check out the FABRIC OPTIONS

album to customize your own Fabric Splendid Swirl!!!

Hello crafty peoples!!!...

I hope everyone had a wonderful 4th of July :)... I sure did! Summer Fun with sand, sun and a holiday weekend with fireworks! Speaking of summer fun, I joined to do a stick pin swap with the theme being summer. Now, I have never done stick pins before until NOW! And with our awesome QUEEN'S help her at Pinque Peacock, who by the way creates AWESOME stick pins, I was able to get through them with her advice... so Thank You so much Jessica with all the help! I used beads, spacers and all the needed supplies from Pinque Peacock to create these pins. Jessica has a WONDERFUL assortment of beads, stones and pearls to work with. Stop by Pinque Peacock's BEAD BUFFET to order yours. In addition she carries a huge assortment of stick pins to your liking. I love large stick pins so I chose to use the hat pins in the Nickel 6 inch to do mine!... Now onto the assortment of beads. Since the theme was summer I went with a butterfly theme....

 

 

***TIP: I got this egg tray from a yard sale... and it made for a great tray to seperate the beads while I worked to put them together. Also, I used glossy accents to glue them!!!

 

AND.... here they all complete on the cards I did using digital printables from Tsunami Rose Designs, a sentiment I printed and cut out (part of a poem I found about summer and butterflies). I attached the printable to corragated cardstock I tore and distressed with vintage photo distressing ink!!!

 

 

Not to bad for my first time ever creating stick pins...lol!!!

Now head on over to Pinque Peacock and check out the Bead Buffet and order

yourself some beads and all the fixin's to create your own stick pins!!!

A Wedding Wreath... by PINQUETTE Laura

Today I am challenging you to show us your projects.
The theme for July is Summer.

I made a wedding wreath.
When I think of Summer I think of weddings.
The theme for quite a few weddings this year seems to be country.
So this wreath was perfect for this.

I started off with a burlap splendid swirl. (I love these)
(bottom)

The two burlap flowers with the words on it I made (Lori made one)

and the two white burlap flowers I made also.

The wreath is from a thrift store.

I also added some lace from my stash and some tulle.

I wrapped twine around the right side.

Hope you enjoyed my wreath

and I hope the Bride and Groom love it too!!!

Good Morning Crafters!

A lot has been going on with me professionally and personally.
This card I created today is for a dear friend who I have been there shoulder to lean on recently and
with all that both of us are going through I realize that I can never forget to be me..

So this card I created with the sentiment Be You,
is for everyone to remember to be true to who you are and always be you!

I used a 5x7 piece of Kraft Cardstock

Rounded the Corners with my We R Memory Keepers Corner Rounder

Used 2 Different items/Project Life/WRMK (not sure which it is as it is in my Project Life Drawer)

Then this Basic GreyCapture Tape Strip

I added faux stitching and then this wonderful Wild Oak Burlap Splendid Swirl by Pinque Peacock

I used a larger Project life bifold card for the inside of the card

I then used Hopscotch Alphabet stamps using Chocolate Ink

This LOVELY scrumptious Pinque Peacock Wild Oak Burlap Splendid Swirls

can be found HERE

Hi Everyone! Are you gearing up for a festive holiday?

Well, I'm glad you took some time out to check out Pinque Peacock and my project for today.

My project today is a beautiful yet relatively simple Stylish Gift Bag.

It features two Pinque Peacock products, a Fabric Splendid Swirl and a Fabric Covered Button, that I believe added the needed touch to truly add flair and style.

Hope you like it!
(I'm giving it to my friend at work...with a few handmade soaps tucked inside!)

100% SWEET... by PINQUETTE Julie

Hello, crafty friends. Julie O here today from Muddy Paws & Inky Fingers. It's Wednesday, and Independence Day is so close, the fireworks having been going off every night in anticipation in our little town. I've combined two big events happening right now -- strawberry season, and the patriotic 4th of July:

Yes, this is a red, white, and blue strawberry. Stand up and salute!
Looks kinda yummy, though, with that Pinque Peacock 3/4 inch red fabric covered button, doesn't it? There's also some 3 Girl JAM ribbon from the Red, White, and Blue Bundle. This strawberry shaped card is a cutting file from The Cutting Cafe, and so is the "100% Sweet" tag.

Do you have big plans for the 4th? It's a huge event here in my little town -- parade, family picnic, waterski show, and it all ends with a big fireworks display. Woohoo! Have a fun, safe, 100% SWEET 4th of July, my American friends.

♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

Thank you PINQUETTE Julie... this darling... and so creative!!!

Sew Easy Pillowcases... by PINQUETTE Kimberly

Hello Everyone, I am back again today to show you a project that is very near and dear to me. The last few weeks, I have been making pillowcases for a project, so today, I decided to add some of my favorite embellishments to a pillowcase.

These pillowcases are really fast and pretty simple to make, though, the first couple did take me a little longer than I had hoped they would. Honestly, picking out the material is harder than I imagined it would be. Have you been to a fabric store lately? It is worse then going to the candy store... all of those selections, all that fabulous material, so much to chose from, what is a girl to do?

This fabulous material I picked up while shopping at Walmart. I always have to check out their selections, and in doing so, I found this material and thought it would be perfect for a pillowcase.

After I got the pillowcase completed, I laid out ALL my Pinque Peacock Garden Beauties to see which one would work for this project.



So many options.

Many of them would, but I liked this one the best. I like how the pink in the flower pulled out the pink in the pillowcase.

 

Because of the project I am working on, I am unsure if an embellishment of this type can be added, so to be 100% forthcoming, this Garden Beauty is simply tacked on at this time. Should this be acceptable, I will take the garden beauties apart, and applique each layer on one at a time. Then, instead of the brad in the middle, I will replace it with a pretty colorful button.

It is a pretty fast project, and in the end, I hope to put a smile on a lot of faces with this project.

♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

Thank you PINQUETTE Kimberly,

your pillowcases are absolutely BEAUTIFUL and

what a great way to accent them!!
