La-La Land Crafts Batty For You!

Hello!  I'm back again sharing a not-so-spooky card for La-La-Land Crafts!  Today, I'm using the New Batty For You Stamp Set!  This sweet little set is just so much fun to create with!  Love it!  

For my card, I chose some fun patterned papers, created a haunted house using the Halloween House Add On Die Set, and layered it all together to create a bright Halloween scene.  Then I stamped out my bat, colored him up with my Copics and popped him on top using some foam tape.  Then I added my moon, some die cut ghosts, and a couple of spiderweb die cuts.  I just love how this turned out.  All these elements coordinate so well together; it makes creating cards fun and easy!

Kraftin' Kimmie September Release Hop!

Today is the day!  All the September Kraftin Kimmie Stamps and Inks have been released and are available NOW in the shop! 

 I'm featuring GINGERBREAD KISSES from artist Cheryl Grant.  This is such a sweet set!

 

For my card, I decided to create something clean and simple with the gingerbread house as the main focus.  First I colored up my image with Copics and fussy cut it out.  Then I added some Stickles Glitter to the frosting and set it aside to dry.  I die cut a rectangle out of some white cardstock and used my blue Kraftin' Kimmie Ink to sponge a light backgound.  Then I mounted that on top of a red scalloped rectangle and popped my house on top with some foam tape.  I stamped my sentiment underneath and finished it off with a die cut flag and heart.

Don't forget the SEPTEMBER Gimme Kimmies Kit which includes all FOUR of the new clear sets PLUS the two NEW INKS together and at a discount!

CC Designs Trick or Treat!

Hello! Today, I'm so excited to sharing with you a fun little Halloween card I made using the NEW CC Designs Trick or Treat set.  To create this simple, fun card, I stamped out my images, colored them up with Copics and cut them out using the coordinating dies.  Then I die cut a piece of white cardstock with the Stitched Rectangles Dies and stamped out some ink splotches using a stamp set in my stash.  Then I popped my kiddos on top, added some stamped bats, and finished it off with my sentiment and some enamel dots.  I just love how simple this card it and yet it has such a fun a whimsical feel!  Perfect for Halloween.

Now, on to the inspiration cards I created with all these new goodies!!!

For my first card, I used the New Happy Boo To You Stamp set.  I stamped out three of the girls and colored them in with my Copics.  Then I cut them out using my Scan N Cut 2, and set them aside.  I chose some fun patterned paper and trimmed it into rectangles, framing one of them with the Scalloped Rectangles die.  Then I cut several leaves using the New Filigree Leaves Die and layered the in behind my scalloped panel.  I cut the Halloween word out of black cardstock and paper-pieced the pumpkin so it would stand out.  Then I popped my girl images on top and finished it off with some Stickles glitter glue and a little bat from the Trick Or Sweets Stamp set.

For my next card, I used the oh-so-sweet Batty For You Clear Stamp Set.  I stamped out my bats, colored them up using Copics, and cut them out using my Scan N Cut 2.  Then I layered several pieces of patterned paper, mounting each layer on solid cardstock.  To create my little scen, I chose some starry patterned paper, die cut a circle in yellow for my moon, and inked the edges with some distress ink.  Then I die cut a branch with the Twigs Die and added a few die cut leaves from the Leaves Confetti Die.  Then I layered it all together, added my bats, and popped in my Boo sentiment from the Boo Die. I also tucked in some die cut Filigree Leaves and a spider web doily.

For my final card, I stamped out this sweet girl image from the Autumn Marcie Rubber Stamp Set.  Then I colored her up with my Copics, and cut her out using my Scan N Cut 2.  I decided to create a little fall pumpkin scene.  So I used the Double Stitched Hills Border die to create my ground and I used some patterned paper with clouds for my background.  I used the Filigree Pumpkin Die and Leaves Confetti Die to create my pumpkins.  For the sky, I added some stitched clouds and then I popped my girl on with some foam tape.  I layered my panel on top of several layers of patterned paper with some die cut Filigree Leaves tucked behind.  To finish it all off, I added my sentiment and there you have it!

Kraftin Kimmie Stamps and Stamp Anniething Collaboration Instagram Hop!

Hello!  I'm so excited to announce that Kraftin Kimmie Stamps and Stamp Anniething are collaborating to bring you an Instagram Hop sharing the new releases from both companies!  For the collaboration, I was able to work with all the new stamps, dies, and stencils from this month's Stamp Anniething release and I had so much fun creating with them! 

For my first Card, I decided to color up this adorable NATALIE GOBBLE stamp.  She's dressed in this super cute turkey costume and I just couldn't resist creating something with her.  I stamped her out, colored her up with my Copics, and cut her out using my Scan N Cut 2.  Then I used the NEW  LEAF STENCIL to create my background.  I used my Kraftin' Kimmie inks and sponged the background in different fall colors.  I just love how it looks like they're falling from the trees!  Then I die cut that into a rectangle, mounted it on a solid piece of brown cardstock and added a green grass border to the bottom.  Then I popped my image on with foam tape, stamped my sentiment in the corner and added some enamel dots.  To finish it off, I mounted it on top of some orange gingham paper. 

Here's a look at the inside:

For my second card, I used the NEW KRISSY FALL LEAVES stamp set.  I just love how sweet she looks with that ribbon in her hair and her cute little scarf.  To start, I stamped out my image and colored it up with my Copics.  Then I cut it out with my Scan N Cut 2 and popped it on top of a little fall scene I created using some dies in my stash.  The floating leaves are from the NEW Stamp Anniething Give Thanks Die Set.  They are perfect for creating fun fall scenes!  Then I stamped out an image from Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps and layered it all on top of some fun patterned paper from Doodlebug.   I just love how this turned out!

Kraftin' Kimmie Saturday Challenge- Talk Nerdy To Me!

Hello! This week I'm hosting the Saturday Challenge at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps and I'm challenging you to make a fun "nerdy" card.  With school starting back I thought it was the perfect time to create something that celebrates, glasses, books, learning, and pocket protectors!  Haha!

For my card, I chose one of the girls from Girl Power.  I stamped her out and colored her up with my Copics.  Then I die cut her into a fun shape and stamped out a sentiment from the Smarty Pants set.  I die cut several pieces of "school themed" patterned paper and layered them all to create the background of my card.  Then I popped my image on top and added a couple of fun embellishments. 

here's a look at the inside:

Hope you play along with us. I can't wait to see what you create!

La-La Land Crafts Guest Designer!

Hello! Today, I have some amazing news!  I've been asked to guest design for La-La Land Crafts!  Over the next 3 months, I'll be creating with all their new products as well as some of their "oldies, but goodies" I'm so excited and honored by this opportunity and I can't wait to share with you what I've been working on!  So... let's get started.  The theme this week is USE A STENCIL.

For my card, I decided to create my own stencil using the Double Stitched Hills Border Die.  First, I die cut a light blue panel using the largest rectangle from the Scalloped Rectangles Die.  Then I cut a smaller white rectangle to fit inside.  I used the Double Stitched Hillside Borders Die to sponge some snowy slopes using some light blue distress ink and a sponge.  Then I was ready to create my scene.  I used the Three Christmas Trees Die and cut it apart to create 3 separate trees.  I placed them on my panel to look as if they were sitting on top of the snow.  Then I stamped out my hippo images from the NEW Hippo Holidays Clear Stamp Set, colored them up with Copics, and cut them out using my Scan N Cut 2.  I used foam tape to pop them on to my panel and stamped my sentiment out in black ink.  To finish it off, I added some white accents with my gel pen and some dots of Stickles glitter for snow.  A die cut flag from the Stitched Pennants Die finishes it all off. 

For the inside of the card, I used another light blue panel cut with the Scalloped Rectangles Die.  Then I added two of the die cut trees and a banner cut with the Flag Banner Die. 

Supplies:
