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:

and ready for work tomorrow.  Why do the weekends 

go by so much faster than the rests of the week? 

Thanks so much for visiting my blog today.  Hugs! D

Baby Love - Kraftin' Kimmie Sketch Challenge

Hello friends! Happy Sunday!

extremely cold wind/temperature - Yucky!

Make Your Own Background - Kraftin' Kimmie Celebration weekend Challenge #1

Goooood Day sweet crafting friends!

This weekend we have some really fun challenges 

in the Kraftin' Kimmie Friends Facebook Group

to celebrate Kimmie's birthday and reaching more than 

6,000 followers in the group! We have a series of
challenges for you to participate in. You have all
week to enter and there's prize opportunities!

The first challenge is to make your own background. 
I usually default to patterned papers (I have an embarrassingly
large amount of that stashed in my craft space), but
lately I've been having a lot of fun using stencils instead.

My first card to share with you today uses the 

HAPPY HEARTS STENCIL with the inspiring

stamp sets YOU ARE SUPER and 

HAPPY THOUGHTS (all from Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps)

I started with a watercolor wash on the base

with two different colors.  After that dried 

I used some Bobunny glitter paste with the

stencil.  A little different style from my

usual but I'm really happy with how it turned out!

This second card was made using Brusho Crystals

on a watercolor paper panel (yellow, orange and red)

and again the YOU ARE SUPER stamp set.

Both of these cards are going to two amazing women

who have or are fighting against breast cancer.  I'm truly

in awe of their strength and positive attitudes. 

I'm entering the first hearts card in the following challenges as well:
Creative Artiste Mixed Media Challenges #46 - anyting mixed media goes 
Crafting with Friend Challenge 79 - Anything Goes

Inkspirational Challenge #179 - Photo Sweet Things

(inspired by the pink and hearts)

and
TIME OUT Challenges #128 - Home Sweet Home Photo inspiration
(I was inspired by the hearts)


And I'm entering the second card in these challenges:
Jo's Scrap Shack Fun Friday Challenges #267 Always Anything Goes
Krafty Chicks Challenges  #440 Crazy Egg Anything Goes

Thanks so much for visiting me today! I hope you are getting
some good crafty time in this weekend! Hugs! D

Kraftin' Kimmie Challenges #466 - LOVE/Hearts

Hi everyone thanks for stopping in to visit me today.

Stamps products (or two) but if you don't that's okay

Blast Off - Love you to the Moon and Back!

Hello and happy Wednesday!

Today I'd like to share a clean but layered card I made

using a fabby Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps set 

called BLAST OFF and a galaxy background

(made with distress oxide inks). This stamp set is perfect

for that fun technique.  I wish you could see the 

different colors behind the dark overall color

a little better in the photo - it's so pretty IRL!

I colored this sweet spaceship image during a video on 

Monday in the Kraftin' Kimmie Friends Facebook Group. 

Now I can share the finished card using that image.

If you're interested in seeing the video you can click here

(if you aren't a member - just ask to join).

This super duper adorable stamp set also has two more main images

of a boy astronaut and his astronaut pup with a couple

more fun sentiments.  AND guess what... it's on SALE this week

at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps for 40% off.  Wow - that's a great deal! 

Need I say more - hehe!  

I'm entering this card in the following challenges:

Addicted to Stamps and More Challenge #326 - Anything Goes

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenges - Anything Goes

The Card Concept Challenge #107 - Rainbow Cupcakes

I was inspired by the fun bright colors, the layers and the dark

background in the photo below. My card fits the Clean and Layered style.
