Kraftin Kimmie Sneak Peek Day #2 - Shake it Up!

 
Hello!  It's Day TWO of the September Krafty Peeks
at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps!...
Today I am sharing a preview featuring a fabulous new set from artist, Becky Pearce! It's called SHAKE IT UP!!

This sweet 4x6 clear stamp set features a fabulous snow globe, of course! Plus adorable animals, accessory stamps, sentiments and more with a total of EIGHTEEN stamps for an endless combination of design possibilities!


 
 
For my card, I chose some fairly traditional Christmas papers and colored my image to match.  I created a little snow globe scene with the reindeer pulling the penguin on the sleigh.  Then I fussy cut the image and placed it on top of a die cut square.  I cut several layers of patterned paper and arranged them on my card, adding some twill ribbon so give the card a "comfortable" feel.  Then I arranged some paper poinsettias and added a die cut tree to the background.

Kraft-tember Challenge/Tutorial - Flowers

 
It's Kraft-tember at Kraftin Kimmie Stamps, an all day krop celebration with challenges and tutorials every two hours!  What could be more fun than that?  I'm on the BLOG today sharing a fun tutorial on how to arrange paper flowers!  Be sure to hop over there and check out how I arranged these poinsettias. I'm also hosting a FLOWERS Challenge too! 
 
 
For this fun little card, I decided to use the ADORABLE Whimsical Gnome set.  I masked a little candy cane into his can which will be available in one of the new sets that will preview later this week.  Then, I chose my patterned papers and colored my image to match. 
 
Next, I die cut several layers of my paper and popped my image with foam tape.  I added my floral arrangement and topped the card off with a banner punch and a cute little button.

Kraftin Kimmie Wonderful Wednesday Host



Hello!  Today, I'm hosting Wonderful Wednesday on the Kraftin Kimmie Blog!  For today's card, I decided to use a Christmas theme.  Less than four months until Christmas and time to get started on those holiday cards!!  This is NO PEEKING.  Isn't is just adorable!  I love that the santa is more casual looking and that little elf just looks so happy! 

 
For my card, I chose some holiday paper with a touch of black.  I love the idea of black in Christmas paper.  I think it make it look so classic.  Then, I colored my image to match with Copic markers.  I die cut several layers of paper, and added some ribbon and paper flowers.

CC Designs Forest Pixie

Hello! 
Today, I'm sharing a fun little shaker card using the NEW Forest Pixie Stamp set from CC Designs.  Isn't she just adorable!  Plus, not only do you get this little cutie, but you also get all her little animal friends in the set!  Love it! 

 
First I die cut some of the Birch Trees and layered them on top of some woodgrain patterned paper.  Then I colored up my images with Copics to match my patterned paper.  Next, I die cut some leaves from the New Autumn Die set and added them to my sequins for my shaker.  I assembled my shaker card and added the little birdie image on one of the trees.  Finally, I popped my fairy with some foam tape and added a few other embellishments.  There you have it, one fairy fun shaker card!
