Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps Challenge #529 - Multiple Layers

Hello and a good happy Saturday to you!

It's time for another weekly theme challenge from 

KRAFTIN' KIMMIE STAMPS!

Our challenge #529, should you decided to accept it,

is to USE MULTIPLE LAYERS on your creation.

I love layers! In fact, I really struggle with one layer

cards (love when others do them - but mine always seem 

to look plain or too simple to me) - so this challenge makes

me happy, happy, happy!   Really - no lie! 

My card features a big flower from the LOVE BUGS

stamp set and a hummingbird from HAPPY HUMMINGBIRDS

(the sentiment is from a retired KKS stamp set). There's also

a few of the Fruity Dots scattered on the front too. 

Both of the main images were colored with copic markers

and then enhanced with prisma color pencils. 

I sent this card to my sister who is quite the flower

gardener - she loved it! 

 I'm also entering my card in the following challenges:

Simon Says Stamps Wednesday Challenge - Anything Goes

Addicted to Stamps and More -Challenge #387 Make Your Mark

Krafty Chicks Challenge #505 Anything Goes

Your Next Stamp Fun Friday Challenge #138 - Lots of Layers

I hope that you'll decide to join us this week too

and share your own Multiple Layer project.

Please make sure that it is a NEW creation

and if it features a Kraftin' Kimmie stamp or other product

your entry gives you a double chance at the monthly 

prize of a $25 gift certificate to spend in the KKS Shop!

And because it's International Scrapbooking Day

Kimmie has a special SALE going on. Check it out!

Thanks so much for visiting me today! 

I realized as I was typing this post that this month marks

eight years that I've been sharing my cards/creations on

this blog. Five of those years I've been designing for 

Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps.  How very blessed I feel!

Hope you have a peaceful, safe and krafty weekend!

Kraftin' Kimmie Challenges #495 - Layers

Hello!  Hope you're having a fantastic day!

I'm happy you are here because it's the start of 

another fun challenge at Kraftin' Kimmie Challenges. 

The theme for this weeks Challenge #495 is LAYERS.

I love layers - the more the better as far as I'm concerned. 

I pulled out some of my favorite Doodlebug patterned papers and
stamped one of the adorable bears from the fun NEW stamp
set called BEARY LOVE in  KKS Marvellous Mocha ink
which is fantastic for a little lighter outline to color in
(the sentiment is from a retired KKS set).
Then I added lots of layers with colored cardstock.
Viola! Hope you like it!

Crafting With Friends Challenge #78 - anything goes

4 Crafty Chicks Challenges {4CC #343} - Punches or Dies

Wow! The month of March is just well...

Marching right along!  I can't believe there's only 

two weeks left of it already!  

Soon it will be Easter! 

This week the theme challenge at 

4 CRAFTY CHICKS CHALLENGES 

 4CC #343 (chosen by Lori) is Punches or Dies!

Ohhhh this is a favorite one for me! 

I love to use both as often as I can! 

Especially dies that coordinate with stamped images 

such as these adorable "Peep" bunnies that  I used on my card

 The bunnies are from last year's Simon Says Stamp March 

stamp kit (yes it took me that long to actually use it - shameful!).

The stitched panels are from dies (Lawn Fawn) as are the bunnies

 and their bows (Simon Says Stamp).  The grass is a punch 

(Martha Stewart)  which I then ran the punched strip through

the Big Shot again with the stitched rectangle for the bottom part. 

The plaid paper (Echo Park) and sequins were also in the kit.

The pretty springy inks are from Stampin' Up! 

Here's the finished inside too

Peeps on cards are really the only type of Peeps I like.

I think I ate too many of them once when I was young

and haven't been able to touch them since - lol.

But I sure do think they make cute Easter cards! 

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

613 Avenue Create:Challenge #195 "Anything Goes w/twist of stamping"

(I did use the twist)

Come and Get it Challenge Blog - Anything Goes

Penny's Paper-Crafty Challenges #321 Anything Goes

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenges: Use More than One Die or Punch

(I used 3 dies and 1 punch)

See you again soon! Hugs! D

Kraftin' Kimmie Challenges #355 - Lots of Layers

Hello sweet friends and followers!

Happy "nearly" Halloween!

It's the last Saturday of October (how does that happen so fast?!)

and time for a new weekly theme at 

KRAFTIN' KIMMIE CHALLENGES!

Larisa is our krafty hostess and she wants to see us
use "Lots of Layers".  Ohhhh I LOVE this theme!

If your style is usually a CAS or One layer this could be a
fun challenge for you to stretch yourself. Or... if you
already love layers (as I do) this is right up your crafty alley ;o).   

I choose to make a Halloween card because I still needed two
more cards for a couple special people  (AND I STILL need
to get them mailed - gulp)! I often wonder how it is that I
make so many cards over the course of a year and yet am often
late getting them sent out to my family and friends. 

Do you do that too?  It's kind of embarrassing really :o/

Anyhoo...here's my lots of layers halloween card
using the super sweet (and not too spooky) stamp
set called "HAPPY OWL-OWEEN"

I used my favorite paper line of Doodlebug design 

and several die cuts and punches for my layers.  

I'd like to enter this card in the following challenges:
Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenges - Anything Goes
My Time to Craft Challenges #332 - Autumnal Colors or Halloween
If You Give a Crafter a Cookie Challenges #55 (photo inspiration)
The Alphabet Challenge Blog - R is for Recipe (use at least 3 from grid)
I used sentiment, stamp, dies and punches for my 3

Crafty Catz Challenges #344 - Anything Goes w/twist of using die cuts or a punch
Jo's Scrap Shack FFC#162 Color Challenge - Use Orange, Purple and Green
Fab N Funky Challenges #324 - Halloween
The Crafty Addicts Challenges #27 - A.G. with Halloween Colors

I hope that you will decide to play along with us this week!
  We LOVE to see your creations so be sure to submit them 
so you can have a chance to WIN a $20 gift card to spend 
in the Kraftin' Kimmie Store! 

And OH MY GOSH... I don't want to forget to tell you about 
the NEW Surprise Krafty Guest Kit! 
Details are on a 'pinned' post on the KKS Friends FB page.
Please go check it out!  You'll be so glad you did! 

Thanks so much for visiting me today!  

Tata for now!  D
