Pinque Peacock is PROUD to INTRODUCE A NEW PRODUCT that is 

in the works at the Shop

FABRIC DIE CUT EMBELLISHMENTS

Fabric Die Cut Shapes with a Stiff Card Stock Backing to use
on your CRAFTY PROJECTS!

     Aren't these the cutest embellishments? When Jessica sent me my DT pack I was so thrilled to have my hands on these new fabric dies. I had taken the month of August off  from the Pinque Peacock Design Team and it was a good thing I did. After a long and event filled Summer it was time to start on some Fall  projects. Among other things I make clothing for 18" dolls so this was perfect to add to her outfit. Next on the Runway is Mary in her Pirate themed outfit:

 

     This fabric embellishment is so easy to work with and the possibilities are endless. See they are not only for cards or scrapbooks but also for cute clothing add-ons.

 

     Here's what I did to make it work for for T-shirt material: first I removed the cardstock backing. I used the black as a template for cutting fusible interfacing to the back of the white polka dot fabric. After I  ironed it in place I did a quick zigzag around the edge. I have a brand new sewing machine that I am still working on mastering the sizes! (I am getting there, lo). Now it was time to dress her up.

 

     I used some i-Rock metallics for the eyes and nose and a cute little hair bow. I am sure if you were using this for a child's shirt Jessica would be able to do these without the cardstock backing. These would be adorable with a fabric glitter glue around the edge if you do not sew. How awesome for a quick craft for your next Pirate themed party! T-shirts, embellishments, Glitter glue and bling=successful Party.

     Well that's it for my project. I hope I have helped you get those creative ideas flowing using Pinque Peacock.new Fabric embellishments.

Hello to all of our Pretty Little Peacocks

Welcome to Pinque Peacock’s

JULY New Release
"When You Wish Upon A Star"

BLOG HOP Day #1

WELCOME TO DAY #1 OF OUR BLOG HOP...

     Good Morning Pinquettes! Mary here and welcome to everyone's favorite theme Disney!!! If you have come from Shelley's  then you are in the right spot.If not then you want to start at the beginning HERE.

     Are you ready to see my project? We have been to Disney World many times so it is about time I scrap some of these pictures. The beautiful swirl flowers Jess sent me fit perfectly in this layout. So, here we go:

     

        This is probably one of the quickest layouts I have ever done. I just grabbed my pics and used the scalloped circle spellbinders and used them to cut the pictures and the layers of matting. I used a scrap piece of ribbon that was hanging around on my craft table (I never throw anything out, lol). This was a great way to to connect the 2 photos. Let's take a look at the Pinque Peacock Splendid Swirl flower and how I used it on this layout:

     Isn't this beautiful? I had a premade set of Snow White from Michaels and it had some cute jewels so I just stuck one in the center of the flower. Love the look of this. I also used one of the cute fabric covered buttons for the opposite side of the layout. 

     

     This was perfect so show Alexis love of the Princesses. Again I used some of the premades to scatter the flowers throughout the layout. To finish it all off I did some doodling around the edges and also some "grass" under Snow White so she had something to stand on!

     I am committed to using up supplies I already have so these rhinestone pieces were the first thing that came to mind with this layout. I also used a metal frame rather than a journal tag to complete the project.

     Although I have showed you how I used the Pinque Peacock supplies for this Disney layout, I hope you can see how useful they are no matter what project you are creating.

     Now its time to hop on over to Kimberly's and see what she has to wow you with!!!!

We hope you have enjoyed your time as you have hopped with us these past three days and that you feel

Touch A Truck LayOut

 

     Welcome Ladies! I hope you all had a great 4th of July. Boy it sure is hot out! We jumped from a cold winter to a wet cold spring and now the heat is baking us, geez. If you just came from Pinque Peacock's Blog then you know I have a surprise element to share but, you'll have to wait 'til the last pic, lol.

     In honor of the Fourth I am doing a Red, White and Blue theme and these pics are fabulous to share with you. Our town recently had a fund raise and it was called Touch A Truck. The entrance fee was $5 or a maximum of $20/family. They had all kinds of trucks: fire engines, ambulances, garbage trucks, bulldozers, steam shovels, a police cruiser and even the portable dog grooming van! The children were allowed to climb in and really take a look, blast the sirens and turn on the lights. One of the trucks was a cement mixer and, since their grandfather works for the company, they just had to take a peek.

     What caught my eye was the graphics on the cement mixer "We Support Our Troops". I love when a company shows their Patriotism and also that this is year round, all the time, no matter what the job. I knew some how I would have to do my Patriotic duty and share it with you as well. What better time than our celebration of Freedom. Isn't this Pinque Peacock Layered Garden Beauty flower the best on this layout? 

     I happened to be @ Michaels looking for any stickers or embellishments with trucks when I spotted this rubber stamp. I thought this was perfect for this layout since we all took the time to enjoy this day. There was one problem. When I inked it some of the white pigment plopped itself where I did not want it to be. I really did not want to stamp another so I decided to go with the flow. I went with the stars that were on the truck and used some acryllic stars I had knowing that my PP button would be the highlight. It sure is!!!

     So I thought ok, this is not completely Patriotic but why not add some stripes with washi tape?Now I wanted to fill some blank space in the upper left hand corner so I used a Cuttlebug folder with stars. I used Don Juan for the font cut @ 1" shadow feature. I cut one set with white and one with blue and offset them when I glued them down.Are you ready for the whole layout?

      Look at those cuties driving the truck! Needless to say the kids had a blast (and so did we). Wait, I'm missing something!!! Remember I went to Michaels looking for some sort of truck embellishment? Well, I should have checked with Jessica @ Pinque Peacock first. Guess what she is working on....

     Yup, truck buttons! She even did a cement mixer one for me. You can find a collection of truck covered buttons in the "Dig This" section. NOW my layout is complete. So here is a tip for you: if you need something special for the perfect touch on your project check with The Pinque Peacock Store FIRST!!!!!! You can find the link HERE.

     Today is also the last day of the 700 FB Fans Sale so be sure to hop on over now.

     Also, don't forget to Hop with us for everything Disney:

 

     I hope you have a great week and stay cool out there.

     

On The Farm

I am posting today as a guest designer for Craft It Up & Link It Up Linky Party hosted by Tara of Craftin Desert Divas! Every other Monday will mark the beginning of a new semi-weekly linky party and you could win fabulous prizes!!

This linky party theme is On The Farm. The sponsors are:

. The more you link up, the better chance you have to win.  Visit Craftin Desert Divas for all the rules and to play along.

Here is what I created for this linky party....

Hope you will Craft It Up & Link It Up!!!

     Hello ladies!!! I am so delighted to be here as a Guest Designer for Craftin' Desert Divas!Thank you Tara for having me. I love the fact that the theme is "On the farm" and that we had free reign to create whatever we wanted using whatever we have for supplies. That always makes it easy when trying to create. This theme gave me the chance to do a scrapbook page I have been putting off for a while. (I bet none of you ever do that, lol).
     First I had to find where I put the pics on my computer, then printed out a few. Now I had to figure out what embellishments to use. Oh heck, here is what I came up with:

     I started with 2 pieces of 6"x12" Provo Craft paper. The background reminded me of the wire pen that holds the goats.I adhered these to a piece of plain brown card stock for durability. After trimming the pics I mounted them on black card stock and did a little faux stitching with a white gel pen. I can't believe how much it made the pics pop! Next up: embellishments

.

    

Aren't these goats adorable? I cut them @ 2.5" from Animal Kingdom. The image can be found on page 27 button #5. I cut all the layers i.e. basic, black out and shadow. I love to leave the images on the mat and do my inking before I remove the excess paper around the image , I also used some distress markers to color in the hooves and to do the goatee.

     I used a flour sack to use as a journal tag.This is from Paper doll Dress Up on page 46. I used some scattered straw ink for the edges and to give a little definition. For a more realistic view, I tied some twine on the edges for the corners.

      I loved the pic of my grand daughter Alexis on the tire swing so I had to add some tires to my lay out. They are from the Pixar Cars cartridge and I cut them @ 1.5". I added some white gel pen for the treads and hung them with some twine before gluing it under the pic.
     After taking a second look I decided to do some black faux stitching around the entire lay out. The "Fun" and "Trip" embellishments were something I had in my stash and fit perfectly in the tire opening.

Hope you will Craft It Up & Link It Up!!!

ANYTHING GOES

Now, onto my project today . . . .

     Good morning my sweet friends and Pinquettes. I am so excited to be part of this fabulous event. In case you just stumbled upon my blog please let me explain what all the excitement is about. Jess from the Pinque Peacock and Stacey and Kendra from Sweet Stamps offered products from their companies to the members of both Design Teams for us to create some fabulous projects for you. We have busy creating with all our goodies and boy are we having fun!
     The Sweet Stamp products I chose to use were: Wedding Swans and "with love" rubber stamps and also some gray ink spot. The detail on these stamps is fantastic and a great image to color with my copics. The Pinque Peacock products were: a large button from the May Release and a beautiful angel stick pin from the June release. I also used some 3girl jam ribbon that you can also get @ Pinque Peacock shop on FB. Just to get some business out of the way I have provide links to their shops below:

Sweet Stamps and Pinque Peacock.

     Since we had a wedding to go to in May, I thought for my project I would use the Wedding Swans Stamp. Here is what I came up with:

 

     First I stamped the image with Momento Marker in Sweet Plum Ink because I wanted the colored image to stand out rather than a black outline. I used several Copic techniques to color my design. I have included the supply list of the copics below this post for you all to experiment with.

      I started with a piece of grey card stock that has a sheen to it. I used the Spellbinders classic scalloped circles-large to make an aperture in a 5"x7" card. I also cut a piece the same size out of pink card stock. This gave me my placement for the image. In order to make sure it lines up perfectly, I add a glue dot to the back of the circle and carefully lower into the opening. Once I know that it is centered correctly I can then use my Xyron tape to hold it all in place.

     Voila, perfectly centered! After I carefully colored my image I added some stickles to the flowers and to make the water glisten. I also used some gold Liquid Pearls for the wedding rings. Notice the slight blush to the swans cheeks. They look like blushing love birds, lol.

     I just love the colors in this button and how it picks up all the colors I used in the stamped image. No matter what Pinque Peacock products I use, they always bring out the best in my work. Of course I had to add an angel stick pin. Believe me when I say that the pictures do not do these justice, they are so beautiful in person. I finished this card off by adding the sentiment with a Spellbinders deckled rectangle cut piece of card stock and Sweet Stamps "with love" sentiment. Since I layered this on a piece of glittered card stock
(we all know how hard it is to adhere anything to it, lol) I used some small heart brads to hold it all together. The look was completed with some 3GirlJam ribbon from the pink and white bundle.
     I find sometimes when you make this type of card that it is hard to be able to add money or a gift card inside. You know I'm right,lol. So this is what I came up with:

     Yup, I added a small glassine envelope inside! This allowed us to add $$$ to the inside, still have room to write and add an element of surprise when they opened the card.
     I hope you have enjoyed my card and please be sure to check out the members on both Design Teams as well as visit the shops of these fabulous companies. Below you will find the copics that I used. Have a wonderful day!!!!!
