Have you heard about PSA Essentials' Personalized Stamps and their Peel and Stick Packs? I've heard good things about them but I wasn't really sure what it was all about until I received this from our generous sponsor:

I opened up the plastic baggies and realized that basically the PSA Essentials' stamp is a self-inking personalized stamp with an interchangeable center! Because the ring and the center can be separated, it can interchange with the Peel and Stick Packs. 

So for example, I can stamp it so that my name is in the center or...

....I can switch the center out with a stamp from their Peel and Stick Pack to make a brand new stamp! 

How cool is that?

The best part about the Peel and Stick stamps is that I can use them with the personalized stamps or I can use them on their own. Just slap one onto an acrylic block and use them like any other clear stamps. And that is exactly what I did with my Peel and Stick stamps.

The Peel and Stick stamps come in several designs but my absolute favorite line has go to be the SMIRK Collection. I couldn't have been more excited when I received the Smirk-Coffee Confidants pack. Smirk girls + Coffee, seriously? This pack was made for me! These stamps are so super cute. My 5 year old thinks that the girls should have eyes but I love the images just the way they are. 

I think that the stamped image is the perfect size too. Look, the girls fit perfectly in their Cadillac, so they must be the perfect size right? LOL!

For this card, I used the Lettering Delights' California Love graphic set (Cadillac), the Big Apple graphic set (storefront), and the New York SVGs set (storefront). I used Make-the-Cut to cut all the layers out by using the print-and-cut technique. 

All the layers were adhered to the card with foam tape for added dimensions. 

 

The decorative edge on the black cardstock was made by using a border punch and the yellow label was also from a punch. The "Fabulous Friends" stamp comes from the same Smirk-Coffee Confidant stamp set.
