Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps...May Release...Preview #1!

Hey Krafty friends! It's time for the Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps May release sneak peeks! This month Annie has created a fun release for the Moonlight Whisper collection of stamps, they are just "beachy"...I know you are going to love 'em! They will be available at the Kraftin' Kimmie online store on Sunday May 16th and we will have a big ol' "beachy" blog hop, as per usual, that day too, so mark it on your calendar!

The card I have to share with you today features my fave girlie in this release, Eleanor! I just think she is sooooooo adorable! Don't you just love her "old school' beach attire?! I sure do! I love her cute pose too!

I made my card base 6x6 from American Crafts cardstock and I got to use up some old stash too! I thought this Daisy Bucket Designs paper was bright and fun for a beachy b-day card!

I picked up an Imaginisce Snag'em stamp at Micheals and it just so happened that this flourishy flower motif matched the flowers on Eleanor's bathing cap perfectly! I coloured the flowers with my Copics and paper pieced Elanor's swim suit with the Daisy Bucket paper! I cut out the image with my circle Nesties and left the image in the die and inked with Spun Sugar Distress ink. I added the requisite American Crafts ribbon and a little bling that all my cards seem to have,smile...the tag is a QK tag and the sentiment is from the Kimmie's Beach/Summer sentiments set that co-ordinate perfectly with the May release images.

Here is the inside....the sentiment it's a combination of the Beach/Summer sentiments in the new May Release and "birthday" is from the Kimmie's Everyday Sentiment set!

Thanks so much for stopping by and come back tomorrow as I will have another sneak peek to share with you! Hop on over to the KKS Challenge blog and Kimmie will have a list with links to all the Krafty Girls previews! Don't forget that Saturday is our KKS Challenge day and the Krafty Girls will be sharing more previews and then Sunday is the big "beachy" blog hop...you don't want to miss the fun, now, do you?!

Have a Stampin' Great day, friends!

Hugs,

FS # 25...Imaginisce Winter Wishes & Happy Holidays!!!

Well, this is going to be a super quick post as I need to get my butt in gear. I am going to The Scrapbook Academy today to do a make'n'take card for the Breast Cancer Crop! So I wont' be rambling on endlessly, like I normally do, lol!


I made four cards using this weeks FS sketch by Claudia. It is a fabulous sketch and really great to use for mass production,smile!!! I used Imaginisce Snag'em stamps which are a great buy...they are like $1.5o each and I used the cor-ordinating paper.

The cards came together very quickly cuz there isn't a lot of colouring to do on the images.

I used my Archival Brilliance platinum ink to do the background stamping on the main image to add a little more interest and the embellishments are just made by punching out circles of the pp which has lots of glitter on it. I inked the edges of everything and pop dotted the circle punches.

The ribbon was an after thought. I had stamped the sentiment right on the image but flubbed it up, so, the ribbon is covering up my bad stamping job and I really like the ribbon there now.

So, there you have it! 4 cards quick and easy and relatively inexpensive to make and I think they are still darn cute!!! I think I might make a card holder to co-ordinate and give this as a gift set!

Thanks for stopping by and having a wee-look see! I also, want to thank everyone for the awesome comments left on my blog. It really is so great to read them all!!! It makes it so much more fun to make cards and share them when you get such encouraging comments. Also, I have received an award and been tagged and I haven't posted them yet but I will do that tomorrow,ok!!!

later!
