Kraftin Kimmie Saturday Challenge-WATER

Hello!  It's Saturday!  Time for another Kraftin Kimmie Challenge!  This week it's all about WATER!  The perfect challenge for Summer! 

 

For my card, I chose the adorable You're Sunsational Set!  A few weeks ago, I colored up this cutie in a Kraftin Kimmie Kolor Along!  And now I've finally used him on a card.  I chose some fun and water-themed patterned papers to match and die cut them into several shapes.  I layered them all in the background and created a little scene with the sun, palm trees, and crab.  Some felt waves and clouds finish it off.

Kraftin Kimmie Saturday Challenge- Retired!

Hello!  It's Saturday and that means it's time for another Kraftin Kimmie Saturday Challenge!!!  This week's them is all about retired rubber!  So, a while back, Kim retired all of the red rubber stamps and switched over to the new clear stamp sets.  So, we thought it would be fun to dig out some of those old retired sets and have a little fun with this week's challenge.  

 

For my card, I chose the Fin-tastic set!  I absolutely love this set.  So fun and whimsical!  I chose some bright summer papers, colored my image to match, and cut it out using my Scan N Cut 2.  Then I layered it all together, added some die cut clouds and palm tree, and finished it off with some waves at the bottom and a punched flag in the corner.
