of a fine glitter paper (from the July Add On

is a piece of kraft cardstock with some of the 

gorgeous new Cool Canteloupe ink swiped

across the panel (and the edges). That

beautiful woodgrain embossing was done

with the Woodgrain Stencil.

Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps - August release peeks - DAY FOUR!

 Today is our fourth day of Krafty Peeks 

for the August Release at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps!

Today we are sharing a fabulous set 

from artist Becky Pearce and it's called.....

SQUIRREL FRIENDS!

These sweet squirrels are so perfect for all 

your Fall projects and they will warm 

your heart with their thankful sentiments!

Oh how I love these adorable little squirrels! 

They are perfect for mini slimline cards 

(my current most favorite type of card to make).

I used some fun fall papers and added three

of the new chipboard leaves from the 

fabulous August Add On bundle. 

I colored the leaves with a white craft ink

and then used the new Cool Canteloupe 

hybrid ink on two of them and the Creamy

Caramel ink on the smallest one.  To finish

the card off I heat embossed the sentiment,

and added a couple of the small accessory 

stamps to the strip in the orange ink. 

Here's a couple more up close views

So what'ya think?  Aren't they so cute?

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

Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps - August 2021 New Release. Day THREE!

Today is our third day of Krafty Peeks 

for the August Release at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps!

Today we are 'peeking' a fabulous set 

from artist Michelle Houghton

and it's called FALL BREEZE!

We're so excited to bring you this gorgeous set of leaves and beautiful sentiments that is going to be a must have Fall set!

Check out FALL BREEZE! in so many creations today as you hop around the Krafty Team's blogs! You'll also see the new stencils, Add-Ons and hybrid ink along the way!  Be sure to leave some love at each stop on the hop because there will be a giveaway for some krafty $$ to the shop! 

Here's my card to share with you today. I heat embossed on the leaves with copper embossing powder on the glitter paper from the awesome July Add-On Bundle. Each of the leaves has a soft beautiful shimmer . The patterned paper behind the main panel is from the August Add On Bundle.  The background was made by dry embossing with the new Falling Leaves stencil.  Lastly, I swiped some of the cosmic shimmer across the die cut sentiment for some additional fall colored shimmer (sadly no matter how I tried I couldn't get that to photograph well - so you'll just have to trust me LOL). 

Hope you like it - take a peek: 

Here's a look a little closer up to see the details

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

Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenges - Heat Embossing

of ways to use these gorgeous fall leaves?

Addicted to Stamps and More! Sketch Challenge #3

Oh my how time flies sometimes! Here it is another week and time for another fun challenge at Addicted to Stamps and More! I must say that the past two challenges have been so fun for me to see what you are creating.  It's a thrill for me to to visit your blogs and leave you notes - so many wonderful ideas and creations based on our challenges.  I can't wait to see what you do with this week's sketch (see below) that has infinite possibilities!  You can keep it clean and simple - you can dress it up - you can add lots of layers - do a monochromatic color scheme or add lots of patterned papers - all kinds of possibilities.

Here's what I have chosen to do with it this week (some of you may already know that I am a patterned paper fanatic - so of course I had to use a couple different ones today):

Fall has arrived in Montana in all its splendor! I love this time of year - crisp cool night and mornings with warmer (but not hot) days.  Sometimes we get a blustery wind that picks up the leaves and moves them around.  I love the sound of them swishing in the wind and crackling under your feet as you walk through them - just lovely!  I attempted to make my leaf look like a real leaf that you might see on the ground with its wrinkled edges - so instead of using my usual embossing texture folder I decided to just rumple it up in my hand and leave it all wrinkled and imperfect.  I gave the edges just a slight hint of extra color with a sponge too. What do you think - does it sort of remind you of a real leaf that you might see blowing across the ground?

I'm sure glad that you've stopped by to visit me today.  I hope you have enjoyed this card and that I've inspired you to go grab your supplies and make something wonderful to share with us at Addicted To Stamps and More!  If you want some more inspiration all you have to do is pop on into the challenge site and then go visit each of our fabulous DT members.  I promise you will be inspired and awed at what they have done with this sketch - I was!! I said a couple times "Gosh...why didn't I think of that?"  or " Cool - gotta try that".  I'll bet you catch yourself talking out loud too :o)  Til next time - Hugs and Happy Crafting!   

I'm also entering this card in the Sweet Stampin Challenge - Autumn/Leaves - seems as if someone else loves this time of year too! 

Supplies (all from Stampin Up!):  Cardstock - Cajun Craze and More Mustard.  DSP - Orchard Harvest. Leaf is created using the Autumn Accents Bigz Sizzix Die and my Big Shot machine (favorite tool ever!).  Sentiment is from the hostess set called Wacky Wishes (stamped in Cajun Craze ink).  Other: a wood naturals button and some hemp twine finish off the card.
