Kraftin Kimmie Wonderful Wednesday- Christmas Blessings Sentiments

It's Wonderful Wednesday time!! I'm hosting this week and today, I've decided to share some sweet little Christmas Tags!  With Christmas right around the corner, it's time to start making tags!  So, I chose the new Christmas Blessings Sentiments set as the main focus.  To create these, I chose some pretty patterned paper and die cut three tags.  One large one and two smaller ones.  Then I stamped out my images and heat embossed them in white.  I die cut a little nativity scene in white cardstock at added it to the larger tag.  Some twill ribbon on top finish them off. 

 

Here's a closer look:

CC Designs December Release Preview Day #1

 

Hello!  I'm so excited to share an adorable new set from CC Designs with you guys!  This little cutie is part of a NEW set called DONUTS and will be available in the shop on December 1st! 

 

For my card, I decided to create a fun little Valentine's Day card!  Too early?  Nah!  First, I chose some adorable donut and sprinkles patterned paper and then colored my image to match with Copics.  Next, I die cut my image using the CC Designs Shapers 1 Die set.  Then I layered it on top of my patterned paper, added a paper doily, some die cut tags, and a cute little donut embellishment.  Some sweet little hearts from the CC Designs Latte Die set top it off.

Kraftin Kimmie Komeback and Black Friday SALE!

Hello and Happy Black Friday!  Today, I have some fabulous news to share from Kraftin Kimmie!!!

 

As you know, a lot of the rubber stamp sets have long retired and are not available for purchase anymore. Well, Kimmie has decided to switch some things up and rerelease a few of your faves in clear! And today we're announcing the first one!

We at KKS, along with many others, are huge fans of Gilmore Girls! And to celebrate the revival coming out this weekend we're giving one of our awesome coffee stamp sets a Krafty Komeback!!!

It's COFFEE & FRIENDS!!

 

You might remember this set from a few years ago with these two fabulous friends, sisters, mother/daughter having a chat over some rather large mugs of a hot beverage! Some of the sentiments have been changed and you may recognize some a couple of them from GG!

 

 The set is NOW available in the shop!

 

 

 

For my inspiration card, I decided to go with a pink and brown theme.  I found some fun patterned papers, colored my image to match, and then layered them all together.  I added a pretty flower arrangement to the corner along with a cute little coffee cup and espresso die cut.  Some enamel dots top it off!

For my project, I decided to use Cocoa Cozy and created a notepad cover.  I used some adorable papers from American Crafts and colored my image to match using Copic markers.  Then I cut the image out with my Scan N Cut 2 and popped in on a little mountain scene using foam tape.  Some paper flags and snowflakes top it off.  For the sentiment, I used Shake It Up Polar Bears and masked off the last "Snow."  I heat embossed it with white embossing powder and die cut the word "Snow" from a piece of white paper. 

 

Here's a look at the inside:

CC Designs Snowman with Robin

Hello there!  Today, I'm sharing a card using the adorable Snowman with Robin stamp from CC Designs!  I just love this little guy.  He is so much fun to color and he's just too too cute! 

 

For my card, I chose some patterned papers from Carta Bella - Christmas Delivery.  I colored my image to match with Copic markers and die cut it using the MFT Rounded Banners Die and layered it on top of a few other patterned papers.  I added a black ribbon, some paper poinsettias, and a punched flag and button.
