Kraftin' Kimmie Anything Goes and PP#358

Image
Kraftin' Kimmie's Anything Goes was the inspiration for these two cards. Using the August sketch and the KKS stamp Birthday Lulu for the first card I created a cute birthday card. The second card was made with the Zinnia Bouquet stamp from Taylored Expressions.  Turning the sketch and using different colors made them completely unique.  Also entering the second card into the Paper Players challenge 358 for emphasis on coloring. By using monochromatic colors the focus is on the colored image. Lulu's Birthday Wishes Stamp: KKS (Birthday Lulu), Taylored Expressions  (zinnia bouquet) PP: Daisy Bucket (At the Cape), Doodlebug (lilac grid) Dies: MFT (stitched circle, stitched oval) Other: rhinestones,  colored pencils Bouquet of Wishes Stamp: Taylored Expressions  (zinnia  bouquet ) PP: Recollections  (green gingham, green pindots) Cdstk: Bazzill (lime crush, tangerine) Dies: MFT (stitched circle) Other: ribbon, colored pencils

Retro Sketches #154

Image
I really liked this card when I finished it today. I'm always being asked for birthday cards for boys so I used the sketch from Retro Sketches as my starting point for this one. The skateboarder has been in my collection for quite a while and I knew that it would be perfect. I paired the stamp with paper from the Echo Park Scoot 6x6 paper pad and created this fun card. Supplies Cardstock - MFT (Nightshift Blue, Blu Raspberry, Gumdrop Green, Orange Fizz) Patterned Paper - Echo Park (Scoot paper pad) Ink - Versafine(Onyx Black) Stamp - Stampendous ( Skateboard Kiddo) Dies - MFT (Mix & Match Banners) Button Colored Pencils Inside Sentiment - Sweet N Sassy (Birthday Innies)

Merry Monday #147 and CAS(E) this Sketch #111

Image
   Today's card is based on this sketch by CAS(E) this Sketch and features stars for the Merry Monday Challenge. I wanted a card that was bright and colorful so I started with the paper from Recollections that I've been holding in my stash. The sentiment stamp is from Inkadinkado set called Warm Holiday Wishes and it has stars mixed throughout the lettering. The red and green stars in the lower corner are affixed with foam adhesive to give some dimension. Supplies Stamp - Inkadinkado (Warm Holiday Wishes) Ink - ColorBox (Cranberry) Paper - Recollections Dies - MFT (Layered Label Die) Star Punches White Brad

Kraftin' Kimmie Krafty Krop Challenge #6

Image
Today I finished the card for the final crop challenge from the Kraftin' Kimmie Birthday Crop on Saturday. The first card wasn't looking the way I wanted so I set it aside and did a second card. Liking this one much better. The added element was to have bling and this card is full of it. I used bling papers which turned out awesome. Supplies Stamps - KKS ( Birthday Lulu) Ink - Versafine (Onyx Black) Glitter Paper - Best Creations (BGP217, GP466) Core'dinations Paper - Gemstones (Sapphire) Sparkle Gem - Hero Arts Colored Pencils

The extra element of this card challenge was to decorate the inside. I usually do something with the inside of my cards so this wasn't too difficult to add to this card.

Supplies Stamps - KKS (Birthday Lulu), SU (Think Happy Thought), Sandylion (sentiments by Kelly Panacci) Cardstock - Core'dinations (Fuscia Fizz, Teal Small Dot) Ink - Memento Luxe (Teal Zeal), Versafine (Onyx Black), Memento (Rosebud) Other - Felt Flowers, Colored Pencils
