Kraftin’ Kimmie

Today is a celebration on the Kraftin’ Kimmie  Stamps Krafty Friends Facebook page.    Kim designs fun stamps and lives in Canada.   There are several challenges going on and prizes to be won.    You have a week to get them posted.  Go and join the event and be creative.

#1 – Gadget Girl.    I used CTMH – My Reflections – Chalk It up. X7184B.   Image is colored with Copic markers.  For extra points, the card could be distressed.

 

#2 – Going Places -  I used CTMH – My Reflections – Brushed – X7190B.  Image is colored with Copic markers.  For extra points, the card had to have the color pink.

#3 – Superstar – I used Echo Park- Bundle of Joy Boy Collection Kit.   Image is colored with Copic markers.   For extra points, this card had to have an animal on it.  The paper worked great.  I wrote my own sentiment.

#4  Going Places -  I used CTMH – My Reflections – Cruisin- X7154B. (retired)  The image is colored with copic markers.  For extra points,  this card had to have extra embellishments and a boy theme.    I added some flair, a metal ribbon and some tiny pearls on the glasses.  I don’t have a Kimmie boy stamp.

There are still a couple of challenges left.  I will continue being creative and share at a later date.

Cards, and more cards

Not much to say except that I’ve made a few cards the last several weeks.    I’ve been trying to use up supplies and stamps.  I miss the time working in my craft room.   I love sitting down, thinking about the person who will get the card and make it special for them.   I also love using my copic markers and the blending and shading.  It can be quite a challenge.

Wrapped Around My Heart

 

I took the time to make a few cards a couple of weeks ago.    I was so engrossed in creating that I didn’t even write down everything that I used.  

I made a couple of 3x3 cards.  They are always quick and easy to put together.

The Happy Birthday stamp and papers are from Close To My Heart.

The Wish Big is from Unity.  Papers are from the CTMH My Reflections set -  Later Sk8r!

 

A dear friend of mine retired last week.    She’s been dreaming of having time to do some quilting and sewing so I dug out this PTI stamp set to make this card.

This card has all kinds of fun layers.  I even snipped a few little feathers to add to it.

Products used:   CTMH – Chocolate, Twilight, My Reflections – Serita,  PTI – Quilting Sampler. Seam binding ribbon. Old Sewing tool. Twine. Button. Lace punch.  Distress ink- vintage photo.

Beautiful Blooms

I love flowers,  birds, pink, etc…  What’s not to love?

I made this pretty pinkish card a few weeks ago and the recipient just received it.  So now I get to share it with you!

I know she loves birds, and I just happen to have this cute little bird stamp.   My tulips were in bloom at the time and the colors were so vibrant I tried to match a couple of them.

Products used: PTI – Beautiful Blooms II, Kraft cs.  CTMH – white craft ink, bubblegum. Spellbinders – Fancy tags 2.  PTI – Take 3 – summer.  Verve – Making a statement. Washi tape.   Stretchy pink ribbon.

Birthday Friends

It’s been awhile since I’ve made a card.  A dear friend of mine had a birthday this week so I thought I better get busy and make something.   The last few birthdays and holidays I have actually bought cards at Hallmark.  GASP!!! 

I need to get busy and get my Mojo flowing.

Sorry that the pictures are a little fuzzy.  I was in a hurry and didn’t change my lense :(

This is a fairly basic card.  I’m loving all of the colors and textures on it.

Products used:  CTMH – D1332 – Boutique Borders.  Kraft, Garden Green, Olive, Saddle.  SU – Twine, Edge punch, Circle punch, Corner rounder punch.  Button. Twine. Distress ink – Vintage photo. TE – Adventureland.

Amore’

I know it’s past Valentines Day…  but I wanted you to know that I did find a few minutes to do some paper crafting.  I made a few Valentines.

These are from a CTMH kit.

 

I also cut out lips and mustache’s with my Silhouette Cameo and added them to a tootsie pop with a little valentines greeting.

Have you made any fun projects lately?
