I love this stampset so much that I just had to create 2 cards for this release.


This 1st card I made using the fabulous new Happy Hearts Stencils to create my background. To achieve this look I took a piece of white 110lb coverstock and adhered the piece to my craft board using washi tape. I covered 1/4" of each side to keep the border crisp white. I then adhered the stencil to the piece also using washi tape and brushed on Tim Holtz Antique Linen ink across the card. I then used Tim Holtz Red Brick ink to the bottom left of the card where I intended to adhere my bear. 







The cute glossy bear was created using White Liquid Applique. I then colored the bears ears, muzzle, tummy and heart using the following Copic colors:

Copic Color Chart 
Ears/Muzzle/tummy : E40 E43 E44
Red hearts: R24 R29 R59 





For the die cuts I created the frame using 2 nestled dies by Sizzix - Framelits Stephanie Barnard - Rectangles Dotted.  For the Die cut hearts I used the Lawn Fawn Say What? GiftTags dies.



For my second card I decided to create a cute little 70's inspired living room scene. I may have wasted a lot of paper trying to figure out how to create the illusion on walls.  Thankfully not my favorite sheets. I ended up finding all 3 of these patterned papers in the same paper pad. Pebbles - Happy Day! 6x6 paper pad had the wining combination. The grey baseboards and trim was made using scrap grey cardstock I had in my pile. I created the lamp and chair using the design features on my Silhouette.  For the lamp shades 3D shape I pasted the right and left edges directly to the card base and used foam in the center. I added detailed dotted to the shade using Liquid Applique. The sentiment was created using a die from the  Stampin Up die set called "From the Garden"






For the bear I used the following Copic Color Chart:

Fur : C1 C3 C5 C7
Paws : C1 C3
Heart tummy: R11 R02 R22 
I colored the heart on the sentiment tag using R22

Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps - Day ONE





I am very excited to share that after being absolutely obsessed with Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps, I shared my work and was chosen as a guest designer. Be sure to check back daily this week because this is only day 1 of the January release.

Welcome to the FIRST release of this brand new year at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps!

https://www.kraftinkimmiestamps.com/product-category/new-goodies/

This is Day ONE of our January Krafty Peeks and we are over the moon excited to share everything with you!  We've got new stamp sets, new stencils, new ink, a BRAND NEW PRODUCT and we're thrilled to be introducing you to our NEW ARTIST!
Hang on tight...'cause here we go!

The first set for January that we are sharing with you is called YOU ARE SUPER and is from our brand new artist, Neda Sadreddin!




We all have women and girls in our lives who are superheros to us and to others!  Just by being themselves as a Mom, a Grandma, a Friend...and we need to tell them more often how AWESOME we think they are!  So here comes the perfect stamp set!  It features a main full sized image plus two portrait sized images in different super cute poses! You can add a mask and even different letters to her chest to make it personal for the recipient!  There are several sentiments and options to create your own!  I think you'll agree this is a fabulous first set from Neda!

Here is my creation using this spectacular set. I channeled my inner super hero to create this comic book inspired card.

I created this 4 1/4" x 5 1/2"  top folding card using 110lb cover stock.  I created the "boom" , city skyline , word bubble and burst using the designer features on my Silhouette.  All patterned paper was from the Echo Park's A Boy's Life collection.  I used black dotted Washi tape to create the dots behind the "boom".  I used nestling star dies to create the star.  And last but not least the yellow dotted piece is in fact a We R Memory Keepers die called Polka Dots cut outs die.  

You'll get to see ALL of our new goodies in action over the next few days of January Krafty Peeks and they'll all be released at our LIVE Online Release Party on Saturday, January 12 at 2pm EST in the Krafty Friends group!

Nellie Snellen - Hoppie's Little Sailor










When I do my work I always stamp my images, then color them up, and then look to my paper stash to find the perfect paper. I found this red white and blue paper and knew it was the one.  I got this sheet from  6x6 Project Life - Beck Higgins - High Five Edition paper pad.
I used 110lb white coverstock for the base and the created top folding 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" card. I cut the stiped piece to match and adhered it to the base.

I stamped the image on 110lb coverstock and colored the stamped image using the following color guide.

Copic Color Chart
Shirt : B21 B24
Navy on scarf: B39
Red : R24 R29 R89
Hat: Y23 YR21 YR24
Stuffed bunny: Y21 Y23
Grey bunny: C1 C3 C5 C7
Ear : R20
Wood E31 E23 E25 E27
Shoes : E25 E27
White : C1
Ground : C1 C3



Once the image was colored I cut the image ensure the bunny was on the right hand side and cut the piece to measure 3 5/8" wide by 41/4" high.  I used crimson red card stock to create the border. I cut the red cardstock 3 7/8" by 4 1/2". I had a red "Thank you!" wood element which I used as my sentiment.

Warm and Cozy Birthday His and Hers






                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              These cards were both made using the same dies and format except the his and hers colors and glasses. The base I made was white 110lb coverstock top folding 4 1/4" x 5 1/2".  I then used the same 110lb coverstock and cut  3 times per card the circles die from Your Next Stamps Die called "Circle Panel Die". I layered the die cuts and glued them together. I like to layer dies to give the effect of a chipboard.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                I chose the green chevron page for the masculine card and a pink chevron page for the feminine card from the My Favorite Things 6x6 called Calm & Cozy Chevron. I cut each of these to measure 3 3/4" x 5 1/8". I pasted these to the card base for each card and then adhered the circle panel die cuts. I then used a grey card stock for the masculine and a red cardtstock for the feminine and cut out a panel of each and kept only a few on the circles. I pasted the circles inside the holes. 

I used dies to cut out the 2 pairs of glasses using the same grey and red cardstock respectively. I then used the spellbinders D-Lites Hipster die set to create the coffee cups.Using 110lb white coverstock I die cut  2 cups per, 2 cup coffee lids I then cut 2 coffee cozies per using brown craft paper. I pasted the individual items together and colored them individually before pasting them into the little figurines. 


Copic Color Chart:
Lid: E40 E43
Cup: E44 E47 E49
Cozy: little vertical lines E47







I cut the sentiment mat using Avery Elle Double Pierced rectangles die. I used the 2 3/4" x 1 1/2" die. 











                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   I stamped the sentiment using the Sunny Studios Quilting Hexagons stamp set. I used Stampin' Up Cherry Cobbler for the feminine card and Basic Grey for the masculine card. 















To finish the cards I used black half pearls for eyes and I used Wink of Stella in clear for the feminine glasses and cut tiny lips for her as well.

Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps - Tweetie Pies





As I look out the window at the snow covered ground this card reminds me of summers passed.  I made this 'Just because' card using my favorite palette of turquoise and gold.


I colored this elegant beauty using the following color chart.


Copic Color Chart
Bird : Y11 Y13 Y15 Y19
Dress : BG23 BG13 BG15
Skin : E000 E00 E01 E02 E04
Flowers : V17
Hair : E31 E23 E25 E27 E47 E49







This base of this top folding 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" card was made using 110lb coverstock. I covered the front using a pretty and shiny gold with turquoise dots paper I found in a 6x6 Molly & Rex paper pad that I cut the 4 1/4" by 5 1/2". I left no white border on this card base which is not a common thing for me however for this one I preferred this visual without a border.











I used a unique rectangle die by Elizabeth Craft Designs called Dashed Rectangles . I was very happy to find this great die which adds just the right amount of subtle detail. The die I chose for this card was the 3 3/4" x 2 1/2" with a scrap piece of aqua paper.















I cut a piece 3 1/4" x 2" of aqua gauze paper from the Die Cuts With a View 6x6 The Gauze Paper Stack. I secure this piece to the aqua dashed rectangle and secured it to the base of the card.




I cut a pale aqua piece of paper from the Teresa Collins - Something Wonderful 6x6 paper pad to measure 3" wide and 4 1/2" tall I then cut a flag out of the bottom. I cut the stamped and colored image 2 1/2" wide and added a flag base to it as well. I adhered these pieces together and added foam and secured it to the card.  I stamped the sentiment and cut the sentiment to 2 1/4" X  1/2", added foam and adhered it to the top of the image piece.

Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps - Troll Trouble









This great stamp set is one of my favorite Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps sets. I love how cute these trolls are and I loved experimenting with colors and making the hair fun and fresh using green





The base of this card was made using 110lb white coverstock for a side folding  4 1/4" X 5 1/2" card . I covered the front of the card using a 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" piece of green chevron paper from the 6x6 paper pad by My Favorite Things called Calm & Cozy Chevron. I covered the inside of the card using a color coordinating plain green paper which I had in my scraps bin and cut to size at just shy of 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" to create a pretty white border.  








Using a simple inexpensive / unnamed die I found on ebayI created a fun cut out. Before using the die I unfolded the card to be sure only the front of the card would be cut. I placed the die vertically on the  front card at approximately 3". 






I then used the dotted rectangle die to create the base for the stamped images. I used a mini blue chevron piece of paper from the Pebbles "Happy Day!" 6x6 paper pad. I added foam to the piece and adhered it to the card base.




I used the same mini blue chevron piece of paper from the Pebbles "Happy Day!" 6x6 paper pad to create the "awesome" sentiment. This die set is by Mroowvibes. I used white card stock to create the shadow. I cut both the sentiment and the shadow twice to add extra depth and then secured the sentiment to the card base.

I used the Copic Color chart below to color my beautiful trolls and then fussy cut around them.

Copic Color Chart
Blue : B24 B28 B29
Red: R24 R35 R29 R59
Green : YG05 YG06 YG07 G07 G28

Nellie Snellen - Schoffie's Skipping





For this card I used a large piece of 110lb white card stock and stamped the image in the center. I then stamped the image a second time but this time on Inkadinkadoo Stamping Mask paper. I then fussy cut around the image as closely as possible and then covered the card image using the mask and used Tim Holtz Weathered Wood Ink to color the background. I then colored my Schoffie's skipping image using the following color chart:

Copic Color Chart 
Shoes : E23 E25 E27
Soles of shoes : N4 N6 N7 N9
Red : R24 R29 R39
Yellow : Y11 Y13
Hair : E44 E47 E49
Skin : E000 E00 E01 E02
Rope : N0 N2 N4



I then cut a Yellow Base using Bazzil Yellow 4 1/4" by 5 1/2" which I pasted to a 110lb card base with top fold. I then cut a piece of patterned paper Hip Hip Hooray by American Crafts 4 1/4" by 5". I pasted this piece to the center of the card leaving a 1/4" gap on the top and bottom.






I cut the colored image to 3" by 5 1/4" and added foam to the back and adhered to the card.
I used the left over patterned paper piece and fussy cut more word tags to decorate the top, When cutting the words I made sure to leave a little white frame around each word. I used Glossy Accents on 3 of the words to add extra detail and adhered them directly to the colored piece.

Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps - Let Them Eat Cupcakes












I stamped a piece of white 110lb cardstock using this wonderful stamp from Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps. I especially love how the feel of this card. She is sassy and bright, I really loved my color choices.









I colored the stamp using the following Copic Color Chart:

Copic Color Chart
Pants : Y02 Y13 Y15 Y19
Vest and Headband : B02 B04 B05
Cherry : R29 R39
Muffin : YR21 YR24
Muffin Base :  E40 E43
Skin : E000 E00 E01 E02
Hair : E33 E08 E09 E19
White Shirt: C1
Ground : C1











I used 2 layered oval dies. 1 oval approximately 3 7/8" tall and 2 3/4" wide to cut the image. The second to cut the spotted pattered paper background by Bo Bunny in the pad called "Surprise! collection". I then cut the speckled patterned paper to 4" by 4 1/2" and pasted it to the white top folding card base. 










I then used Apricot Bazzil cardstock and Spellbinders S5-181  Borderabilities A2 Bracket Borders Die Templates to create the layered apricot strips. Once they were adhered to the base I added foam to the back of the image piece and adhered them to the card base.












I cut the sentiment form Pebbles Spring Fling 12X12 paper From me to you and added foam for dimension being careful not to add foam where the sentiment overlaps the image oval so it could lay flat. I used 10 Orange rhinestones to add detail, these I adhered with Glossy Accents.
