CC Designs 4 Seasons Girls

Hello!  Hope you have had a great week!  Today, I'm here to share my fun autumn card using the NEW 4 Seasons Girls Stamp set from CC Designs.  I have to tell you, I absolutely LOVE this set!  It includes on girl for each season and they are all adorable!!! 

* New Roberto's Rascals 4 Seasons Girls Clear Stamp
 
For my card, I decided to use the autumn girl.  I chose some very fun Doodlebug paper and colored my image to match.  Then I used the new Autumn dies set and cut out some pumpkins and a cute little sunflower.  I layered it into an arrangement, adding a couple of die cut leaves and there you have it.

Kraftin Kimmie Sneak Peek Day #5 Holiday Sissy and Little Bro

 
Today we are sharing TWO MORE new stamp sets by our incredible artist, Annie Rodrigue! These two will round out the family theme stamp sets by Annie!
 
First is HOLIDAY SISSY who is having a sassy time playing around with the garland decorations! Do you remember doing this....because I do! The set comes with the gorgeous main image plus FIVE coordinating sentiments!



Next is HOLIDAY LITTLE BRO who seems to be a tad excited about Christmas! Like the sentiment says....There's one in every family! Haha! The set comes with the main image plus SIX coordinating sentiments! And don't you love that kitty?


 
For my card, I chose Little Bro. As the mother of an energetic toddler boy, I felt inspired by this little cutie!  I chose some fun holiday paper and colored my image to match with Copic markers.  Then I  die cut several layers of paper and mounted my image on top.  I added a fun little Christmas wreath embellishment that I also die cut and topped it all off with come punched flags and enamel dots.  I just love how this turned out.  This is what Christmas will look like at our house this year and I love it!

Kraftin Kimmie Sneak Peek Day #4 - Holiday Momma and Daddy-O

 
Welcome back to Day FOUR of our September Krafty Peeks
at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps!...
Can you believe we aren't even HALF way through all of the NINE new stamp sets we are releasing?! This is going to be an AMAZING holiday release....you have no idea! ;)

Today I'm sharing TWO out of FOUR new stamp sets by the incredible artist, Annie Rodrigue! I know a lot of you have been waiting for these holiday goodies....and it's time!

First is HOLIDAY DADDY-O!
We've got a fabulous stamp set featuring the patriarch of the family and he's putting the star on the top of the Christmas tree! It's a lovely large image plus four coordinating sentiments!

 
 
Next up is HOLIDAY MOMMA!
Doesn't she look like every momma? I love her holiday sweater! She's busy unpacking all the Christmas stockings and decorations. And the stamp set includes five coordinating sentiments!

 
 
So, I love using Christmas papers that incorporate black.  It's so unexpected, but looks amazing!  So...when I found this patterned paper, I just had to have  and when I saw these two stamps, I knew they would coordinate perfectly!  First, I stamped the Momma and then masked Daddy-O in behind her.  I colored them both up to match the papers and die cut the little scene with my X-Stitched rectangle die.  I added some ribbon, a couple of punched tags, and a sentiment cut out from the paper pad.  Really, I kept this card pretty simple since the patterned paper and image were more on the busy side.

Kraftin Kimmie Sneak Peek Day #3 - Shake it Up- Polar Bears

 
Today we are sharing a second fabulous set from artist, Becky Pearce! This one is an add-on to the set from yesterday! Did you love Shake It Up?? Well, this one is
SHAKE IT UP - POLAR BEARS!
 
This sweet little 4x4 clear stamp set is full of roly poly polar bear images with lots of accessories and gorgeous sentiments! You can use it on it's own or in addition to the Shake It Up snowglobe stamp set from yesterday's peeks for an endless combination of possibilities!! There's a total of SIXTEEN stamp sets in this adorable set!



For my card, I wanted to use the totally adorable paper from Doodlebug called Polar Pals.  It just seemed so perfect for this stamp set.  I stamped my snow globe and cut it out using my Scan N Cut 2.  Then I paper pieced the inside with some adorable snowflake paper.  I also die cut a piece of white card stock to look like snow drifts and paper pieced that on top.  Then I stamped and colored the little bears and cut those out on my Scan N Cut 2 as well.  I popped them on top of the snow globe using some foam tape and then stamped my sentiment on the bottom.  Next, I die cut and layered all the fabulous patterned papers, added a doily and some ribbon, and then added my image to the top with some more foam tape.  To finish the whole card off, I added some rhinestone snowflakes.

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.
