CC Designs 4 Seasons Boys

Hello!  Today, I have a fun boy card to share with you guys.  I don't know about you, but I always have trouble finding cute boy stamps.  Well...look no further, but there is an adorable boy set available at CC Designs.  It's called 4 Seasons Boys and you can find it here as part of the new release!  It contains 4 fabulous boys dressed up for each of the 4 seasons!  Perfect! 

 
For my card, I chose some cute "boy" paper and colored my image to match.  Then, I cut it out on my Scan N Cut2.  I added several layers of die cut shapes and topped it off with some enamel dots.

Kraftin Kimmie Wonderful Wednesday Host



Hello!  Today, I'm hosting Wonderful Wednesday on the Kraftin Kimmie Blog!  For today's card, I decided to use a Christmas theme.  Less than four months until Christmas and time to get started on those holiday cards!!  This is NO PEEKING.  Isn't is just adorable!  I love that the santa is more casual looking and that little elf just looks so happy! 

 
For my card, I chose some holiday paper with a touch of black.  I love the idea of black in Christmas paper.  I think it make it look so classic.  Then, I colored my image to match with Copic markers.  I die cut several layers of paper, and added some ribbon and paper flowers.

CC Designs Forest Pixie

Hello! 
Today, I'm sharing a fun little shaker card using the NEW Forest Pixie Stamp set from CC Designs.  Isn't she just adorable!  Plus, not only do you get this little cutie, but you also get all her little animal friends in the set!  Love it! 

 
First I die cut some of the Birch Trees and layered them on top of some woodgrain patterned paper.  Then I colored up my images with Copics to match my patterned paper.  Next, I die cut some leaves from the New Autumn Die set and added them to my sequins for my shaker.  I assembled my shaker card and added the little birdie image on one of the trees.  Finally, I popped my fairy with some foam tape and added a few other embellishments.  There you have it, one fairy fun shaker card!

Kraftin Kimmie CAS Challenge!



Hi there! It's Saturday and that means it's time for another challenge at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps!  This week's theme is CAS (clean and simple).  I decided to use the lovely Purr-Fect Princess set for this.  Now you guys know I struggle with this as my cards always have a ton of stuff on them, but I think I did pretty well with this one! 

 
For my card, I kept it very simple.  I stamped my image on Spectrum Noir paper  colored with my Copics, added a sentiment, some paper flags, and a round paperclip.  That's it.  Clean and Simple!!!
 
here's a closer look:

Now you guys know that I love my bright colors so this challenge was a little difficult for me, but I think I found a way to make it work...I added black ;)
