Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps - Gift Wrapping Elf

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              This fun little "Gift Wrapping Elf" is an older stamp from Kraftin Kimmie Stamps, although it may be difficult to come by... it's worth the search. A cheerful grin is great for your holiday cards. Get started early and you'll be ready to go for next Christmas season. 

To create this card 5"X 7" card I first stamped the image and colored it up and then used Tim Holtz distress ink to dirty up the background, I used a q-tip as I got closer to the image. This was a lot more difficult then just stamping the image again on a masking paper, cutting it out, and covering the image.

Stampin' Up - Christmas Cutie

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  This stamp is definitely appropriately named as a "Christmas Cutie".  I stamped the image on white 110lb coverstock.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    I created the base of the 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" side folding card by first folding it it half and then cutting off 1 7/8" from the cover piece. I covered the top flap with a piece of yellow cardstock measuring 3 1/2" x 4 1/4". I also covered the inside back piece with a piece of yellow cardstock measuring 2" x 4 1/4". I covered this inside piece using red Magic mesh and cut it to size before adhering this yellow piece to the card base.

I colored this cutie using the following color guide:

Copic Color Chart:

Scraf and Mittens: R29 R59

Yellow: Y11 Y13 Y15

Boots and snow suit: N4 N6 N7 N9

Snow Suit : B21 B23 B34

Hair : E21 E23 E25 E27

Skin : E01 YR00 E02 E04 

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        I used the stampin' up adorning accents edgelits to create the red border detail. To create this I used the scalloped border and secured it to red cardstock using washi tape and the moved the die down a 1/4" secured it with washi tape and then ran it through the big shot again. 

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              I used the same die to cut a matching border on a piece of striped paper from the Bo Bunny Surprise! Collection 6x6 paper pad. I then secured the red border to this piece, and cut the striped piece to a width of approximately 3/4" by 4 1/4".

I cut a piece of the same red cardstock 3 1/4" x 4 1/8" to create a base for the image. I cut the image 3" x 3 1/4". I used my Stampabilities Happy Birthday #1 stamp for the sentiment and used Stampin' Up Cherry Cobbler ink pad to stamp the "Happy Birthday" on white cardstock that I then cut to 7/8" x 2 7/8". I cut a red border piece 1" x 3" using the red cardstock. I secure the sentiment to the card base only where it met up with the top piece and not the overhang.

Quilled - Thinking of you

If you enjoy twirling paper paper then quilling is for you. I really enjoyed working in fine detail with making these little flowers. At the time I wasn't sure is quilling was for me so I used paper I had and cut my own strips with a 1/8 inch thickness. I would not recommend this because I wasn't easy to be consistent on the width of the strips and for quilling to look at it's best a better practice is to use the machine cut packs. They are economical and available in a vast array of colors.

I used a fine tip clear glue to secure the piece together and adhere them to the base of the card.

Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps - Make a Splash!

This card makes a rainy day bright using this wonderful stamp from Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps. Although I usually make the base of my cards in bright white for this card I decided to change it up and use grey given the rainy image. The base is a top folding 5 1/2" x 4 1/4" using 110lb coverstock.

The dotted base I used was from the Bo Bunny Baby Bump collection and was cut the 5 1/2" x 4 1/4". 

I used my Copic markers to color up this image as follows:

Copic Color Chart

Coat : Y11 Y13 Y15 Y19

Dress : R14 R29 R59

Water : B00 B02 B04

Eyes : B02

Grey pant stripes :  C1 C3 C5

Skin : E000 E00 E01 E02

Mouth : R89

Tongue : R29

Hair : E35 E47 E49

Once the stamp was colored I cut the piece to 4 3/4" x 3 3/8". I cut a base in crimson red 4 7/8 x 3 1/2". I adhered these pieces together and added foam to the base before securing it to the card. 

I cut the "sending sunshine your way" sentiment from the Pebbles Spring Fling 12x12 sheet "From me to you". I added foam to this piece before securing it to the card.

To finish off the card I found in my case of dies a great raindrops confetti die. I cut a bunch of smokey blue raindrops in various sizes and pasted them to the card.

I decided to layer my patterned paper as well as my die cuts for this layers challenge.  I love this cutie and decided she needed to be a fiery little red-head.  I used 2 sheets from the Recollections Blush and Mint 6x6 Paper pad to create both the base and the chevron strip. I used dark burgundy cor'dinations paper to create the tiny borders.  To create the depth of the snowflakes I used 3 layers of dies in white and then sandwiched the top with the light blue patterned paper. 

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                I cut the image to 3 1/4" X 4 3/4" and created a mat around it using a piece of gauze paper from the DCWV paper pack cut to 5" X 3 1/2". I added foam to the back of the image. 

Happy kraftin'!

Make a Wish

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         This top folding 5 1/2" x 4 1/4"card was made using 110lb white coverstock. It was a very quick card to whip up. I used a great multi striped sheet from the Lawn Fawn "Into the Woods" 6x6 paper pad.

     

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              To create the illusion of a lot of work I cut the some of lines on this sheet and added foam to them to add dimension. I then added 2 rows on bright turquoise crocheted ribbon. I adhered all to the card ant then used a corner rounder on the bottom corners.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             To create the sentiment I used a piece of diagonal orange striped paper from the same paper pad cut to 1 3/8" X 4 1/8".  I cut a piece of white cardstock 4 1/4"X 1 1/2" as a border.  I used a vellum quote from the Core'dinations Celebrate pack for the sentiment. I added foam to the base of the sentiment and secured to the card. I added  turquoise gems to the sentiment to finish it off.

I couldn't help myself... I needed to create 2 cards again because this stampset is so gorgeous so this is my second card.. the 1st card I used the men stamps on Day 3... hop back a few days to check it out of you haven't already.

For this first card I started with 5 1/2" x 4 1/4" base of "X's" and "O's" from Project Life - Becky Higgins- High Five Edition. The mat for the ladies was a piece of beautiful pink and white camera paper I also found in this paper pad. I cut this piece using a large rectangle die that measures 2 1/2" x 5".

I used the the Lawn Fawn Scallopped Circles die set to create the circle border with dark aqua cardstock. I also cut the same size circle of the hearts patterned paper I found in the Bo Bunny - Baby Bump Collection. 

I used the same dark aqua cardstock to create the border around the .  The pretty hearts on a line die cut was created using a die I received when I attended the Crop N' Create Crop this past fall. I layered the die cuts 3 high to make them look more like a chip board.  The banner I cut from My Favorite Things - Calm & Cozy Chevron and the My Next Die - Hearts Banner Die. I added foam to the base of the banner to create dimension and filled the hearts with Christmas Red Stickles.  I finshed off the card using the newest Kraftin' Kimmies product ...

This is the 1st of 2 cards I've  made using this stampset..  check back on day 5 to see my other creation.

 This card was a lot of fun. I had a concept in my head and had to search through a lot of paper pads to find just the right papers. I hope you like it as much as I do. I started the card using a base of trees which I found in Lawn Fawn's Into the Woods 6x6 paper pad.

The orange frame was created using the Elizabeth Craft Designs Die set called Dashing Rectangles. Although difficult to see in the photos there are tiny cut out dashes around the die cuts. This Border and one sun was cut out using patterned paper by American Crafts - Hip Hip Hooray! 6x6 paper pad. 

I was able to find clouds paper in the #Summer 6x6 paper pad by American Crafts. This piece was cut using the larger Dashing Rectangles Die to match perfectly. In this same pad I found the yellow paper I used to create the other sun die cut that I used as the top layer.

The clouds were creating using a die I found in my stash and patterned white paper I found in American Crafts - Project Life - Becky Higgins - Everyday Edition. I used foam to create dimension. 

I created the layered grass using 2 different green patterned papers and the Taylored Expression die called Wispy Grass Border Die. The 1st grass border was cut from green patterned paper in the #Summer 6x6 Paper pad mentioned above. The other was from the My Favorite Things - Calm & Cozy Chevrons paper pad I used from the above 1st card. I cut 2 of each and layered the pair twice adding one directly to the card base and the other on top of the frame to create dimension and leave room for the men to be secured.
