Krafty Komeback Witchypoo

It's time for a Krafty Komeback!!!
 As you know, lots of the Kraftin Kimmie rubber stamp sets have long retired and are not available for purchase anymore. Well, Kim has hand picked certain stamps to be revamped and rereleased in CLEAR!  And today we're announcing a new one! You all have been loving these, so here we go again!
 Amazing artist, Annie Rodrigue has redesigned this fabulously spooky image and added some new sentiments.  It's WITCHYPOO!


 
I absolutely love this stamp!  So perfect for Halloween cards!  For my card, I chose some fun patterned papers, colored my image to match, and cut it out using my Scan N Cut 2.  Then I layered some die cut pieces to create a little scene and popped my image on top using foam tape.  A sweet little sentiment and punch flag finish it off.

Wonderful Wednesday at Kraftin Kimmie

Hello! I'm hosting this week's Wonderful Wednesday Challenge at Kraftin Kimmie!!!  For my card, I chose the fabulous Let Them Eat Cupcakes set.  I just love this stamp set!  Both images are oh so cute and perfect for any occasion.  To create my card, I chose some baking themed patterned paper, colored my image to match using Copic Markers, then cut it out using my Scan N Cut 2.  I cut several layers of the paper and arranged them in the background.  Next, I die cut a scalloped circle and used that as the backdrop for my image.  I added some pleated ribbon, a scallop trim, and stamped my sentiment.  I just love how this turned out! 

 
Thanks so much for stopping by!  Hope you play along with us this week.  I can't wait to see what you create!

Kraftin Kimmie Saturday Challenge: Pearls or Enamel Dots

Hello!  This week I'm hosting the Saturday Challenge at Kraftin Kimmie.  If you know me at all, I love to use enamel dots and faux pearls on my cards. So this week I thought I would challenge you to do the same!!!  So dig out those enamel dots and pearls and start creating!  

For my inspiration card, I chose the NEW Social Sally Stamp!  I just love how adorable she is texting in the park!  Too cute!  I used several patterned papers in the background and created a little park scene with some die cut grass and clouds.  Then I added some black enamel dot to finish it off and draw the eye to the main image.
