Donut Forget...I Love You

Happy Wednesday crafty friends and followers!

A quick post from me today with a valentine

that I made recently for my son.  Now that he's

received it I can share. He's such a sweet supporter

of his mama's crafty card making hobby and loves

to get handmade cards.  He also follows me

on all my social media accounts and I didn't 

want him to see it that way before he got it

in person.  It was kind of funny as he said

"hey, I got a card from my mama just now.

I haven't seen this one yet".  But then he

also wondered where the real donuts are - lol.

That "kid" love donuts so much it's ridiculous.

But I love him even more than he loves donuts!

Here's the card:

Kraftin' Kimmie Challenges #468 - Animals

Hello crafty friends, hope you are well today!

We have a new theme challenge starting today at

KRAFTIN' KIMMIE STAMPS.

Challenge #468 is ANIMALS.

I made a Galentine for my Bestie using the newly
released CUDDLES THE PUPPY stamp set. 

The stenciled background is created 

w/the new PAWPRINTS STENCIL

and the Pretty in Pink and Marvellous Mocha

hybrid inks.  There's even a few of the LOVEY DOTS

(enamel dots) on there too.  I guess you could

say its a clean and layered style card.  Simple

yet sweet - don't you agree?!

Happy Valentine's Day 2019

Happy Valentine's Day friends!

Hope you are feeling loved and appreciated today.

This year the holiday really snuck up on me and

I found myself needing to make a very quick card

for my hubby today.  I grabbed a piece of shimmery

white cardstock, some brusho crystals and water

to create the base of this CAS card.  

Then I added some hearts to the panel from the 

Love Story Sentiments and Hearts and Stars

stamp sets and Wicked Black ink by Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps.

 Total time less than 7 minutes (I heat set the 

background panel rather than wait for it to dry).

And viola - he loved it!

I'm sharing this card in the following challenges:

The Daily Marker 30 Day Challenge (on Instagram and Facebook)

My coloring for today is the background.

Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps - NEW Release Blog Hop February 2019

Hello! You are in for a real treat today as the krafty krew

DT for KRAFTIN' KIIMMIE STAMPS has prepared some
amazing creations to showcase the NEW products of
this month that were released yesterday.  

So grab your favorite drink and maybe a snack

and hop along to your hearts content!

ALL the new products are now in the store -

including the GIMME KIMMIE set for those

of  you who are in love with the entire new release!

My card features the New SPRINKLES stencil

and DONUT WORRY stamp set.

To create the background, I used the following KKS hybrid inks -

Charming Chartreuse (NEW), Pretty in Pink, Purple Pansy and 

Purple Petunia . I stamped the donuts, the sentiments 

and the sprinkles on the donuts in Marvellous Mocha ink 

(all of these are available in regular size pads or 1" ink cubes).

The frosting on the donuts is Marvellous Mocha and 

Charming Chartreuse inks. There's even a few of the
fabulous Rainbow Dots scattered on here.     

It hardly needs the sentiment inside because it's

easy to figure out - but just in case (and for fun) 

I added it to finish the saying...Donut Worry, Be Happy! 

Thanks so much for stopping in to visit me.  There's so much 

more inspiration to see just hop on down to the links below.

Spring is Coming - Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps

Hello!  I was such a busy little bee today. 
It snowed all day long and was very cold outside

so I crafted, I purged and I organized! Woo hoo!

I have been on a kick lately of using stencils for backgrounds

or scenes.  This card was made for the special celebration 

challenges this weekend in the Kraftin' Kimmie Friends 

Facebook Group.  We are celebrating reaching 6,000 plus

followers and Kim's birthday with five special challenges.

Kim's favorite color is purple so that's the theme/color

for challenge #5.  I inked up some purple tinged clouds

with the Krafty Basics stencil.  Really loving how it

turned out and wishing it was spring and not still

winter here - lol!  Here's my card -

that adorable little lamb and sentiment are from

the KKS stamp set called Easter Blessings. 

I'd like to also enter this card in the following challenges:
