2019 Fall/Winter Coffee Lover's Blog Hop and The Daily Marker 30 Day Challenge Nov 2019

Hello sweet friends! 

I've been coloring something each night since the 1st

for The Daily Marker 30 Day Challenge - Nov 2019.

Everything I've colored so far has had a coffee/tea/cocoa

related image in hopes that I would also actually get a 

card finished and entered in the 

2019 Fall/Winter Coffee Lover's Blog Hop.

Tonight I finally got one of the cards done!

And just in the nick of time because tomorrow is the 

last day to enter.  Whew!  

Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps is a super sponsor for this

hop and I am lucky enough to be on her design team.
Tomorrow is the last day for a special savings - check it out!

This card features an adorable stamp from 

You're a Squeak-Heart.  You can find it in 

the Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps shop here.

Thanks for stopping by to visit me today! Hugs! D

Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps - Oct 2019 NEW Release - Sneak Peek and Anything Goes Challenge

The Sneak Peeks of the October 2019

NEW Release from Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps

continues!  I'm super excited about the 

stamp set we have to show you today!

It's called Caroling Cuties by artist

Neda Sadreddin.  Love, love, love it!

It's also time for a new challenge theme

ANYTHING GOES

(as it always is during release week).

Just look at this adorable new set of
singing critters!  Wayyy tooo cuuuute!


Here's my card using this group of adorable

animals and the NEW Brick Wall stencil.

Oh I had so much fun making this card!  I added a couple

drops of the Wicked Black and Marvellous Mocha inks

to some embossing paste and put it through the stenciled 

background (made using Totally Taupe & Berry Bliss

KKS hybrid inks).  The texture IRL is awesome.

The singing critters were masked, colored with 

Prisma Color pencils and fussy cut. As a final touch 

I dotted some snow all around using a puffy paint pen.  

We sure do hope you play along with us for
the ANYTHING GOES CHALLENGE. 

We LOVE to see what you create with your

Kraftin' Kimmie stamps and other products.
You have until October 31st to enter your
own creation (must be a NEW creation)
for a chance to win some krafty kash to spend in the
the Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps store.   

Oh and don't forget that today at 2pm EST is the
LIVE ONLINE RELEASE PARTY with
Kimmie.  It's always a fun time with  Kimmie
and your krafty peers.  All the new products will
be released shortly after the Partay!

card to share with you.  It's a one layer and CAS 

 card (gasp!) - and I love how it turned out.

The finished size is 3 1/2" x 5".   

I used a new stamp set from Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps

peek of this set early today on this blog post 

if you missed seeing it. The snowflakes are stamped

in three different pinks: Berry Bliss, Pink Pizzazz and

Pretty in Pink (all from Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps). 

The enamel dots are also brand new and will 

be available Saturday afternoon - Festive Dots.

Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps - Oct 2019 NEW Release Sneak Peek -DAY ONE

Hello! Welcome to my blog!

I'm happy to be sharing a card I made today

for DAY ONE sneak peeks of the October 

NEW RELEASE at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps.

Winter is coming (are you a GOT fan)? and that

means snow - lots and lots of snow - in Montana.

I'm a total sucker for snowflakes even though 

I don't like to be out in the cold.  I love to watch the

snow drifting down while I'm snuggled up warm & cozy.

This new stamp set called SNOWFLAKE KISSES 

by artist Melissa Baker-Nguyen is simply stunning!

To make this card, I first created the background

with Pretty in Pink and Bubbly Blue inks sponged

through the NEW Perfect Plaid Stencil.  Then I 

randomly stamped a variety of the snowflakes all 

over it using the NEW Stormy Sky ink (this is 

going to be one of my all time favorite blue inks!), 

and added one of the sentiments from the set.  

I absolutely LOVE how it turned out.  Hope you do too!

Thanks for visiting me today.  I'll be back with another
sneak peek on Saturday.

I hope you will join us on Saturday for the LIVE
ONLINE RELEASE Party with Kimmie!
The fun starts at 2pm EST.

 Hugs! D

Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps Challenge #502 - Autumn Colors

Hello crafty followers and friends.

Pardon my excitement but... IT'S THE WEEKEND!!!

We are going to watch some college football

and will get to see both my kiddos.  

Today is the start of Challenge #502 at 

KRAFTIN' KIMMIE CHALLENGES

and the theme this week is "AUTUMN COLORS".

Here in Montana we seem to have skipped right by

the beautiful season of Autumn.  The leaves had

barely started to change colors and two nasty snow

storms plunked upon us.  I don't mind winter but 

I LOVE Autumn and am really sad to have missed
all the beautiful colors and cool mornings with
warmer days and sunshine - especially the colors. 

My DT card for this challenge features a gorgeous
gourd  that symbolizes autumn for me
(I LOVE pumpkins) - take a peek

The background is created with the Beautiful Burlap stencil

and Yummy Yellow, Totally Taupe and Pumpkin Patch inks.

Then I added some stems, leaves and a pumpkin from 

Grateful Pumpkins (on SALE this weekend) and a 

sentiment from Pumpkin Kisses right over the top of

the stenciled background.  Hope you like it!

Thanks so much for visiting me today. Hugs!
