CC Designs February Release Preview Day #3

 

Hello!  Today, I'm here to share an adorable little Leprechaun with you guys!  This little cutie is part of the New February Release for CC Designs!  I just love him!  He looks so happy with his pot of gold and little green suit!  Adorable!!! 

 

 

For my card, I chose some oh-so-cute patterned paper from Doodlebug and colored my image to match.  I then stamped a sweet little sentiment from the New Lucky Rainbow Sentiments Set.  Then I die cut it using the Shapers 1 Die.  I layered that on top of a stitched label die and popped it up using some foam tape.  Then I added a couple of die cut clouds, a little rainbow, and some enamel dots.

Kraftin Kimmie Saturday Challenge - White

 

 

 

Hello! It's time for another Saturday Challenge at Kraftin Kimmie! This week's theme is WHITE!

 

 

 

For my card, I chose the adorable Eskimo Pals Stamp Set.  I thought it would fit the challenge perfectly since the little polar bear is obviously white. :)  So I colored my image in neutral tones and tried to incorporate as much white as possible.  The, I added a strip of patterned paper to the bottom, some linen thread and matted it on red cardstock.  I felt it needed at least a little color. lol!  then I added some white die cut snowflakes and stamped my sentiment in the corner.

SugarPea Designs Let's Fiesta! and Guest Designer Contest

Hello!  Today, I'm sharing a super fun card using Let's Fiesta from SugarPea Designs!  I just love this little guy.  He looks like he's having so much fun!  For this card, I chose some bright Southwestern papers and colored my image to match using Copic markers.  Then I layered several of the papers in the background, cut my image into a rectangle and layered it on top of a scalloped die cut.  I placed a strip of diamond print at the bottom of the image and topped it off with a cute little tag and button.  Then I stamped my image on a die cut cloud and added a little heart underneath.  I popped it up using foam tape to add some dimension.  And there you have it, a festive little birthday card!

CC Designs Little Pixie Valentine Cupcake

Hello, I just wanted to pop in today and share this little cutie with you guys.  Her name is Little Pixie Valentine Cupcake and she is one of the newest stamps from CC Designs!  So sweet! (literally). 

 

For my card, I chose some fun little ice cream paper and die cut it into a label shape.  Then, I added some ribbon and a couple of hearts to the corner.  Next, I stamped my image and colored it match using my copic markers.  I cut it out on my Scan N Cut 2 and popped it on top of my card using some foam tape.  I stamped my sentiment on a die cut tag and added a little button with twine to the top.  some enamel dots sprinkled throughout top it all off.

Kraftin Kimmie Saturday Challenge - Square Card

Hello there Krafty Peeps!  I'm hosting this week's challenge: SQUARE CARD!  Personally, square cards are my absolute favorite because I think they fit most stamps perfectly!  So, I thought I would challenge you guys to create your own square cards.  For my inspiration card, I chose the oh-so-adorable You're Nifty stamp set.  I just love how cute these two are and with Valentine's Day just around they corner, I thought they would be perfect.  I tried to keep things pretty simple with this one by keeping my image as the main focus with just a touch of patterned paper and enamel dots.

Kraftin Kimmie January Rlease and Blog Hop

 

Hello!  Today, I'm back sharing another card using the Fabulous Party Pearl!  I just love how fun and 'girly' she is!  For my card, I tried to keep things clean and simple.  I stamped my image on a clean white piece of cardstock and chose some dainty patterned papers that I thought matched the image.  I colored my stamp in the same colors and punched two flags for the top left corner.  I stamped my image at the bottom with navy ink and a spiral paperclip finished it off.

Kraftin Kimmie January Preview Day #6 - Sincere Thanks

 

 

Welcome to Day SIX of the January Krafty Peeks
at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps!...

ALL of the new stamp sets you've been seeing all week will be releasing THIS AFTERNOON after the LIVE ONLINE RELEASE PARTY! I hope you can join us for all the fun, beautiful cards, giveaways and more!
Today we are sharing a quick little sentiment set that I put together! Thank you sentiments are something we all need throughout the year but especially after the holidays with all those thank you cards to go out! I used a combined a fun selection of fonts for several of the sentiments AND I made a larger Thank You that can be used in combination with any of the smaller lines below to suit your need! I hope you love the new SINCERE THANKS set!
The set is 4x4 and comes with a total of THIRTEEN stamps for an unlimited number of designs as a focal point of your creations or in addition to a coloured image!
 

 

For my project, I decided to make a set of tags. I chose some beautiful "girly" paper and die cut it into tags using the MFT Tag Builder set.  Then I stamped the large "thank you" stamp in the flag and popped it in the middle of each tag. To finish them off, I chose a different coordinating sentiment and stamped it at the bottom of each tag.  I just love how these turned out and think they would be adorable attached to a little gift.
