Welcome to Angelica's Fond Farewell Blog
Hop. Angelica Suarez has served as the Design Team/Marketing
coordinator for Peachy Keen Stamps for the past three years, and as
many of you may have read from her post here a few days ago, she has
made the difficult decision to leave her position at Peachy Keen to persue a new and exciting opportunity in the printing industry.
We are sad to see her go, but we know that she will be a tremendous
success in this new venture, and we couldn't be happier for her.
So some of the Design Team ladies past and present have put together this blog hop in order to wish her a very fond farewell.
If you arrived here from Michelle , you
are hopping along in just the right order, but if you started here, then
you will want to go back to Peachy Keen Stamps to start at the beginning. Lost along the way Don't worry I will have the Blog List at the bottom of this post
Here is my card for Angelica
This is a 5x7 Vertical Card
I used the current Mojo MOnday Sketch #257 for the card layout inspiration
as well as the following Design Seeds Color Palate and using the closest colors I could find from my stash
This one is called Artichoke Tones
I got my addiction to Design Seeds from Angelica :)
The Pink and only pattern paper is from S.E.I Penelope's Potpourri and is the reverse of Adorned Dots
I also used the "birds and Swirls","Swiss dots" and "Polka dot" Cuttlebug Folders I have a tiny bit of Blog Candy Today. I designed an SVG Template for this card and for my blog hoppers you can download it here.
I design all of my cards in make the cut to test out the proportions..etc using the basic shapes gallery so I thought I would share my project file with you. For Make-the-Cut users I have added the project to the Gallery using the Tag Angelica_Card, just search for it through your software and you should find it!
There are also 4 $20 Gift
Certificates to Peachy Keen Stamps that are being hidden along the hop!
To qualify, please leave a comment on every stop along the way - a
winner will be picked on Tuesday and announced on the Peachy Keen Blog!
Also I am giving away a 20 Yard Pack of Timeless Twine. 5 yards each of 4 colors (winner to pick the colors). Just be a follower and leave a comment to enter to win! I hope you like my project. Next stop is Dobea

For my project I was inspired by a card that My Design Team sister Jenny made Here
Jenny's Project- My design Inspiration
Orginally I wanted to try to make the twine diecuts, but after several failed attempts I decided to just copy her simple layout. I wanted to try to the clean and simple approach to cardmaking as my cards can be very involved with many layers.
Jenny used two pattern papers, one as a base and the other as a strip across and here is my attempt to replicate that simple clean style.
My project using Jenny's layout as inspiration. As you can see, I made it my own!
I went through my scraps and found some cardstock that would make a really nice card. I actually made some videos of my design process here, as well as a very detailed video of my coloring incase you were curious how I created such detailed shading on my project
My videos are divided in two parts because believe it or not this card was super time consuming
All stamps from Peachy Keen Stamps
All papers are from Recollections- available at Michael's
Pattern paper is from the Recollections Autumn Splendor
Woo hoo are you ready for more Scrappy Moms Stamps Sneak Peeks??
This one I actually made WITH my daughter for her teacher, That's why it's a little on the simple side for me, but it was very complicated for an almost 3 year old
This card is odd sized. It's 6 x 5.5
The pattern paper is from Last Years K&Company Halloween Stack. can't think of the name right now.
The ghosts are from Peachy Keen Stamps
We used a border punch, annd we chalked the white cardstock blue
