Challenge #573 -Cuteness!! Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps

Good morning and welcome to another

fabulous and fun Saturday Challenge

at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps !

Are you ready for another fun and krafty challenge 

to inspire you and help get your creative juices flowing?

We've got some fabulous ideas for you 

and can't wait to see what you create!

This week, Krafty Girl Delphine is your hostess and her challenge theme for you is CUTENESS!

Oh Gosh could this be any easier of a challenge?

I mean come on...there are soooo many CUTE

stamp sets in the Kraftin' Kimmie Stamp shop.

All you have to do is chose one of your favorites

and create something CUTE! 

My card for this week's challenge features 

another of the cute dragon images from the 

newly released DRAGON FLIGHT stamp 

set and a sentiment from the DREAM CASTLE.

I also added some of the items from the

March Add-On Bundle (available in 

limited quantities until they are gone).

The chipboard eggs are so fun to 

ink, color, sparkle etc. One one of them

I added some Stickles glitter gel and on

the other I put a layer of Nuvo Dream Drops 

(also from the add-on bundle) over it and 

then stamped on top of it after it dried. 

Maybe not what you might expect from 

a dragon image but it's sure CUTE and 

can be used for a variety of reasons.

Possibly even a baby card right?!

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

Crafty Catz #543 Anything Goes/Optional Fantasy

Day THREE September New Release Peeks and ANYTHING GOES CHALLENGE - Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps

Hey, hey, hey - it's Saturday!

My favorite day of the week for many reasons

but today it's because it's the final day of the

September NEW release peeks for 

KRAFTIN' KIMMIE STAMPS!

It's also the start of a new weekly challenge 

and the theme is ANYTHING GOES!

The final peek of the new release is a 

super fun stamp set called 

A CRACKIN' HOLIDAY! by artist Neda Sedreddin.

There's three nutcrackers in this set and 

some very fun sentiments too. 

Here's my card to share with you. 

I found some shiny gold cardstock and patterned

paper in my stash.  It's sure hard to get a good

photo of it with the shine.  I used a sentiment

from THE MAGIC OF CHRISTMAS for this card. 

Of course I had to add some of my favorite 

embellishment too - krafty dots from 

the Holiday Dots collection.  

In case you haven't heard ALL the fabulous NEW 

goodies for this month will be available in the KKS Shop

shortly following the LIVE ONLINE RELEASE PARTY

at 1pm EST in the Krafty Friends Facebook Group!

You'll see some links below to the rest of the 

Krafty DT.  Please go visit them to see what they

have to share with you too. Lease a comment at 

each stop to be entered in a special drawing to WIN

some krafty $$ to spend in the KKS Shop.  

How cool is that - you do something really nice

and get a chance to possibly win?! 

I hope you'll join our challenge this week too.

The options are wide open.  You can make any kind

 of creation - card, scrapbook page, planner pages, 

3D project, any theme, any style.  ANYTHING GOES! 

Just make sure its a new creation and you can enter

up until the next challenge starts!

adorable stamp set from YOUR NEXT STAMP (one of the 

hop's Super Sponsors) called ELLIE LOVES LATTES 

(and the coordinating die cut).  I also used some gorgeous 

plaid papers from the 6 x 6 paper pack Winter Plaid.

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
