Something Yummy

 Phew - I'm all caught up on past challenges.  Challenge #570 at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps was "Something Yummy".

There is nothing yummier than birthday cake!!!  This fun image and sentiment is from "Party Piggies" at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps.  Both are stamped in wicked black ink - which is a great hybrid ink - perfect for stamping, colouring with any medium and a rich black.

Mr. Piggy is coloured with Copics on Neenah white cardstock, backed in Pewter, Saffron and patterned paper, and the blue ribbon are all from Close to my Heart.  The awesome dots are Kraftin' Kimmie Dots - get them soon - they are not going to be restocked.  

Enjoy,

It's all about the Glitter!!

 It's all about the glitter for challenge #571 at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps.  I mean who doesn't love glitter!!!

I was excited to ink up and colour this long retired Kraftin' Kimmie Stamp - "Giftwrap Elf".  This little girl  I scored in a buy/sell group!!  I've paired it up with the bright Oh What Fun retired paper package from Close to My Heart and used bright lime green glitter paper left over from a retreat package.  For more glitter I've used pink glitter dots from my stash. 

Even though this challenge is closed, get your glitter on & play along.

Animals!!

 I'm working through all the challenges at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps.  Challenge #569 was to use "animals" in your projects.  Although the challenge is closed I wanted to participate.

How about this cute walrus from "Long in the Tooth" by Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps.  I love this little sailor dude  and coloured him up not once but twice!  

Why twice? He's a spinner card!!  

Isn't it fun I found walrus patterned paper in my stash!  The blue striped patterned paper, candy apple red cardstock, square stitched die and spinner card are all from Close to My Heart.   A few Krafty Dots in white finished off the card.

Lesson learned - the sentiment should have been a little lower inside since it shows through the window of the spinner - ooops!

Spinner with Santa

 I may not have posted in order, but I'm caught up with all the Christmas Card Challenges at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps.  Today's card is from #11 - Use Santa/Mrs. Claus in your project.

I've used a spinner die to make this awesome card.  The dial spins to reveal messages from the stamp set,  Dear Santa.  The beautiful focal image comes from A Chat with Santa - one of my favourites - coloured with Copic markers.   Both stamp sets and white enamel dots  are from Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps.  Cardstock & spinner die are from Close to My Heart.

Non-Traditional Slothsome Day

 This weeks' Christmas Card Challenge at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps - #12 is to use your non-traditional stamps for Christmas.

I mean have you ever seen a sloth in a Charlie Brown Christmas tree?  This card just makes me smile.  The poor pooped out sloth is all finished his Christmas shopping & wrapping - finished the baking and is ready to Relax!

Stamps used include Slothsome Day, It's a Wrap & Shake it Up - all from Kraftin' Kimmie.  Patterned paper and cardstock is retired from Close to My Heart.  To finish off a few Krafty Dots and twine from my stash.

Play along with all the wonderful challenges at Kraftin' Kimmie for a change to win some $$ to the Krafty Shop.

Cuteness!

 The theme for challenge #572  at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps is "Cuteness"!

I pulled out one of my favourite long retired rubber Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps - Nurse Nightingale

Isn't she cuteness overload!!!  Several years ago, my mom came with me on a road trip & we stopped at a since closed scrapbooking store.  Mom spied this little cutie and insisted I must purchase to add to my collection.  With a few nurses in the family I am so glad she did.

I've coloured up the image very softly with Copic markers, adding a few Kraftin' Kimmie Dots.  The paper collection is Magical Birthday Girl/Echo Park.

Get your Plaid on

 I'm getting there - still working on past Christmas Card Challenges at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps.

This one is #9 and the challenge is "plaid".

I am newer to slimline cards but am enjoying the creating.  This card uses retired plaid patterned paper from Close to my Heart and a new slimline die cut in Candy Apple Red cardstock, also from Close to my Heart. 

I used two sets from Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps for my card.  Christmas Seals! was stamped in wicked black in on the two smaller rounds and Happy Winter Days wreath on the larger round.  

For added interest I followed the die stitch marks with my black marker and added black Krafty Dots.  Digging way down deep into my stash I came up with the glitter stars for the wreath and the large bow.  

Back to the crafty closet to finish up more Christmas Card Challenges.

Enjoy,
