Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps April 2017 NEW Release peeks Day TWO

Oh hello and welcome back for DAY TWO

 of the fantastic April release sneak peeks 

from KRAFTIN' KIMMIE STAMPS!

Yesterday we showed you a favorite fairytale princess

and today we have another - EEEEEeeeee!

It's my favorite princess - CINDERELLA by artist Annie Rodrigue!

This is such a magical image featuring the sweet princess and her
gorgeous ball gown! Plus the set comes with three fabulous sentiments!

I'm just so excited about this set!  I knew I wanted to

make it extra sparkly like the scene in the movie where

her dress gets transformed right before our very eyes. 

Here's my card to share with you:

I colored her with copic markers and then enhanced some of

the shadows and shading with prismacolor pencils.   I added

some liquid pearls to her dress and when that dried added 

a healthy dosage of frontage all around her.  I LOVE 

how she turned out and plan to frame her later.

Here's a close up of all that sparkle

Kraftin' Kimmie Challenges #376 "Easter"

Happy weekend lovely crafty friends!

Wow what a week I had this past week!

Let's just say I'm so happy that one is in the 

books and I have today to relax a little bit :o)

Today is the start of the first Saturday challenge of
April 2017 at KRAFTIN' KIMMIE CHALLENGES.  

Our first challenge theme for this 

month from our hostess Jasmine is #379 "Easter"

I used a sweet little stamp sets that was one of the 

first that "hooked" me on Kraftin' Kimmie

called Somebunny Loves You.  

This stamp is from a rubber set.  Many of the rubber sets are in 

very limited quantities as Kimmie has gone clear.  

I must apologize because when I made this card there was 

still a couple of them in stock but it appears that now they

have sold out.  The unfortunate part of that is when these older

rubber sets are gone they are gone. I'm sorry for tempting you 

but I hope you like my card anyway and it has inspired you to 

make an Easter card of your own to play along with us.

You can use the April sketch (like I did) for extra chance to WIN

a gift certificate to the Kraftin' Kimmie Shop.  You don't have to

use it but it's up all month to help inspire you or give 

your MOJO a boost if needed.  Sketches really help me to

get a card together quickly or when my creativity is lagging. 

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

The Alphabet Challenge Blog: B is for Bunnies

The Brown Sugar Challenge Blog - #245 "Anything Goes"

Crafty Catz Challenges #365 - Anything Goes w/optional Easter

Fusion Challenges - Easter

Cute Card Thursday  - Challenge 472 "Easter"

If You Give a Crafter a Cookie Challenge #66 

Little Red Wagon #388 "Egg-cellent"

Crafting by Designs - April Edition "Anything Goes"

So now it's back over to you!  Hope you have some 

good crafty fun this weekend!  Thanks so 

much for stopping in to visit me today!

Hugs! D

Kraftin' Kimmie Wonderful Wednesday - {Look for Rainbows}

Hello lovely crafty friends - Happy Wednesday!

It's time for another ANYTHING GOES Challenge

for Wonderful Wednesday at KRAFTIN' KIMMIE!

My card today features the beautiful young 

gal from Look for Rainbows along with a retired

sentiment from a previous set (sorry about that) that 

has been laying on my craft desk for awhile and seemed

so perfect for this.  That small grass piece on the bottom

was also on the desk waiting to be used :o). 

Are you like me and seldom throw your bits and pieces

and/or rejects away in the hopes that some day you will use them? 

 In this case I'm really glad that I did :o).  

I had colored this image as practice for a color-along that I did

last month for Kraftin' Kimmie in the Facebook Friends group.

I later fussy cut around her and placed her on this card.

The Daily Marker 30 Day Challenge & Your Next Stamp Sketch Challenge #59

Hello friends and followers!  I've been coloring a little

something every day this month as part of 

The Daily Marker 30 Day Coloring Challenge (March 2017).

The idea is to color something every day this month - 

even if it's just for a few minutes.    

So far I've been successful with the coloring part

but have only actually finished two cards to share.

On Day 7 I colored the tiny little sun shown below. 

Today - Day 15 - I had some fun water coloring 

the background panel and finished this card

using the little sun I has colored earlier too!

This adorable stamp set is from Your Next Stamp. 

It's called Little Notes and it also has coordinating dies.

I used the YNS Sketch Challenge #59 for my design. 

I'd also like to enter this card in these challenges too:

Hello and happy hearts day! 

I had a good day celebrating the ones I love 

and feeling loved myself :o)  

Hope you did too!

This is the card I made for my daughter for 

Valentine's Day and to celebrate how very much 

I love her sweet self :o)

called "A Bushel and a Peck" and I colored her with copics.
I made the main card panel using a brayer and then a

time to use it and the color was perfect for Valentine's day.

Best of Cluck - SugarPea Designs Mix it Up Challenge #27

Happy Monday sweet friends!

I'm back again to share a second card

that I made Sunday to enter in the
SugarPea Designs Mix It Up Challenge #27 - Anything Goes. 

This card was made using the super sweet

Best of Cluck stamp set (and coordinating dies).
I knew as soon as I saw this set that I had
to have it!  But it has been sitting in my
"waiting to be inked" stash (very sad) for several
months until now.  I also had these really
pretty papers from the
Countryside Charm Patterned Paper Collection
in my stash as well.  I'm so excited to have
made this card and to have checked two items off
my crafty New Year's resolution :o)

and here's the inside too

Oh my gosh...doesn't that broken egg just

crack you up (pun intended)?!

I am entering this card in these challenges as well:

"It's Your Birthday..." SugarPea Designs - Rice, Rice, Baby

Hello sweet friends!  

I found some myself with the luxury of

having some "just for fun" extra crafting time 

over the weekend so I pulled out a few of

my "yet to be inked stamps" and had a blast 

creating with them.

   Do you make New Year's resolutions?

I don't usually make them - mostly because it seems
that I inevitably fail in keeping them lol.  BUT....

this year I did make 3 crafty resolutions 

1) use more of my "yet to be inked" stamps

2) use up more of my designer paper stash 

before purchasing more (this one is going to

be the most difficult because I think I 

truly have an obsession with patterned papers)

3) get a couple of my cards published  and...

hopefully 4) be awarded a guest designer spot for a 

couple of stamp companies or blogs that I really like. 

I'm super happy about this card because it fills two of

my New Year's crafty resolutions - using an inked
stamp set called Rice Rice Baby from SugarPea Designs

and some of my designer paper from my stash.

I colored this with my copic markers.  

here's the inside too
