BasicGrey Challenges # 33....Wings....Happy B-day!

Good morning friends! I'm here to share my card that I made for BasicGrey Challenges this fortnight! The challenge is......Wings! We would like to see anything with wings, angles, fairies, butterflies, birds, even creepy crawly bugs, if you are so inclined,smile! Just remember that you MUST use at least one BG product on your creation and list it in your post to be eligible for the prize!


As always, our wonderful sponsor Simon Says Stamp is offering one lucky winner a fab $25 shopping spree in the Simon Says Superstore...lots of fabulous goodies at Simon Says Stamp to enhance your stash, smile!

So on to my card....I needed to make a B-day card this week for my friend and co-worker and I was tight on time. So I used one of my PI stamps from My Favorite Things as they make such cute and quick cards... gotta love that! So I decided to use Fairy Girl PI stamp as she has wings and that is the Challenge this week at BG Challenges! I coloured her with my Copics and paper pieced her dress. I made my cardbase from Prism cardstock and did a BG mix and match, using papers from 3 different BG 6x6 paper pads...Jovial (looooovvve it), Oliver and just a bit from, Olivia! I also used my Kelly Panacci Stitching Stamps and I used the MFT Di-namics Perfect Bracket edge die. I embellished with some Prima flowers, cotton lace trim and AC ribbon! The sentiment is from one of the older Essential Sentiment sets from MFT and I stamped it on a QuicKutz tag and, of course, I had to add Stickles to Fairy Girl's wand and wings. I used my Viva Decor Pearl pen to add little pearls to her fairy slippers!


Here is the inside....I used the the Di-namics Framed Greetings sentiment stamp and die.

So, I hope you can join the challenge this week! Please stop by the BG Challenges blog and visit all the BG DT members they have all made gorgeous creations that are sure to inspire!

Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps Challenge # 54...Funky Fibres...Warm Wishes!

Good Morning Krafty Friends! Sorry about my pics going MIA yesterday! I guess I paid the price for wanting bigger pics on my blog! I have been uploading them to Photobucket and inserting the HTML code in my posts. Well, I had a little glitch yesterday but we're all good now! If you didn't see the pics for the card that I made with Mona the Seamstress yesterday, scroll down and have a look-see! She is seeeeew cute!

If you upload your pic to the KKStamps Challenge blog and you've used a Kraftin' Kimmie Stamp on your creation with some Funky Fibres then you will be entered into the draw to win.....Mona the Seamstress, that Krista has used on her oh so sweet card!

So for my card....I used Natalie the Knitter, Gosh I love her to bits too! What a sweetie! So, I just got my hands on this gorgeous BG Jovial 6x6 paper and I had to use it ASAP!  I then went on the search for some funky fibres and found this pretty green Chenille fringe in my stash and I thought it would be perfect for this weeks challenge! I coloured Natalie with my Copics and cut her out and popped her up on the Nestie circle. I added some brown ribbon too and Prima flower with pearls. The sentiment comes with Willard and I had this chipboard tab that says Christmas in my stash.

So onto my card....I used the super cute and talented Mona the Seamstress! I wish I could sew but unfortunately, I didn't inherit the sewing gene and I can't figure out the sewing machine my Mom gave me. Oh, well, I just reached for my handy dandy, Kelly Panacci stitching stamps, instead...love them! So, I coloured up  Mona with my Copics and teamed her up with papers from my Cosmo Cricket Material Girl Mini Deck and Bazzill cardstock. I cut the dress form on my Silhouette fromt the Bazzill cardstock and added a few half pearls here and there. This cute sentiment comes with Mona and I stamped it on a scrap of the pp cut it out with a QuicKutz label die.

Here is the inside....I kept it pretty simple! This sentiment comes with one of the other new stamps in the November Release, Lavender the Quilter.

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

Good Morning Krafty friends! I have a quick post this morning to share one of the fabulous new Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps in the new November release that will be available this Sunday November 14th in the Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps on-line store.  There are 6 new super cute and super krafty stamps in the Moonlight Whispers collection by Annie Rodrigue and Steven Leary has created 5 new wintry fun stamps with Miles and Pals.

For my card today I have inked up the Krafty Stamper...I absolutely love this image to bits, OMGosh, she is so cute!!!! So I made this card with all the things that I'm lovin' at the mo....crinkled seam binding bows, cotton lace trim, lots of pearls and lots of flowers! I made the cardbase from kraft cardstock and used Pink Paisless 365 Degrees 6x6 papers...love it!

Here is the inside...I thought this stamp would be perfect for an invitation to a crop or a krafty get-together with friends! Of course, as I am sitting here typing up this post I see the typo on the inside of the card...I printed out the info on the computer...not sure I would want to go scrapin'....scrappin', yes! Of course, it is sooooooo obvious to me now after the pics are taken and all...uuugghh!!!!

Well, thanks for stopping by and having a wee peek at my card! Please have a look at all the great previews by the Krafty Girls there is a list of links to their blogs over on the  Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps blog!

MFT WSC Challenge...You're One Hot Mama!

Hey crafty friends! Just a quick post of the card that I made tonight for the MFT WSC challenge! They have a great sketch this week and I have been dyeing to play along, so when my friend asked me if I could make a baby card for her today, I knew it would be a great chance to join in!  I used BG Cappella 6x6 papers and the cardbase is made from brown AC Damask embossed cardstock and I used my fave MFT Baby Bump stamp.

I coloured the image with my Copics and paper pieced it with the BG papers. I am totally addicted to crinkled seam binding so I just had to add some to this card. I positioned it so that the double crinkled bow with Cappella BG button was where the flower embelly is on the the sketch. I added two wee pearls to her boots with my Viva Decor Pearl Pen in Ice White.

Here is the inside....this sentiment is from the MFT Clearly Sentimental about Babies that I stamped on the MFT Di-namics Framed Greetings die and "Congratulations" on the QuicKutz tag is from the Baby Bump set.

Well, thanks so much for stopping by and having a wee peek at my card!

Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps Challenge # 53...How Distressing....Party Time!

Good morning krafty friends! I am so glad it is the weekend, aren't you!? I am looking forward to spending some time in my craftroom this weekend...lots of cards to make,smile! I have a card to share with you this morning for the challenge over at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps Challenge blog! Guess what?

Yup, I 'm the hostess this week and I want to see Distressing on your creations...you can do a little or a lot, it is totally up to you!!! I hope you can join us and if you use a Kraftin' Kimmie Stamp on your creation then you will entered into draw for a KKS stamp. This week you have a chance at winning the cutie, Merry, that I used on my card.

So, as I said I used Merry from the Moonlight Whispers collection fro the new Holiday release...I coloured this image with my Copics when I was at ScrapFest helping out at the Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps booth. I had this gorgeous Crate Paper Called Restoration Collection in mind at the time and it matched...YAY! I decided to make an easel card and I distressed all the edges of the patterned paper with my Tim Holtz Distressing tool...but I have ordered a Distrezz-it-all by Zutter from Scrappin' Great Deals and I can't wait for it to arrive. It is really going to make distressing the edges of my paper so much easier and a lot less messy.

I also stamped with my Kelly Panacci Stitching stamps and inked the edges, as always! I used my MFT Di-namics rolled flower die for the first time and made these distressed rolled flowers by spritzing the paper with Glimmer Mist and crinkling up the paper and then rolling the flowers. I added a pearl to the centres...they aren't exactly how I would have liked them but I just need to practice a bit more, me thinks. The sentiment "Party Time" comes with the a Cindy and Mindy stamp called Party Time and "Your Invited" is from Kimmie's Thankful Sentiment set.

Well thanks so much for stopping by and having a wee peek at my card!  Please stop by the Kraftin' Kimmie Challenge blog and visit all the other Krafty Girls' blogs to see their beautifully distressed creations!

Happy Kraftin'!

Whiff of Joy Challenges # 91 and Friday Sketchers # 126.....Sweet Little Angel!

Good Morning crafty friends! Well its hump day...yuppers...Wednesday, already! We are halfway through the week, folks...YAY! It is also time for another fab challenge over at Whiff of Joy challenges! This week we would like to see you make a Christmas card! We thought we would help you get some of your Christmas cards done with this challenge. Please remember that you must use a WOJ stamp to enter the WOJ challenge. We have had many entries, of late, that did not have a WOJ image on them, therefore, they were not eligible for the prize. Please, check on the Whiff of Joy website for all the WOJ stamps to make sure that you are using a WOJ stamped image!

So, for my card I decided to make a "Christmassy" Baby card! I thought MME Colorful Christmas paper that I just love from last year would be perfect for a baby card!I used the fabulous sketch that they have this week at Friday Sketchers for this card too! The cardbase is 6x6 from white AC cardstock and mated with light blue and pink cardstock! I added some cotton lace and some ribbon, and Prima flowers with pearls. I stamped this sweet image, one of my all time fave, WOJ stamps, of Willow with toddler, from the Wedding and Baby Collection and coloured it with my Copics. I masked the image and then used the new Magnolia snowflakes from the Fall StampClub Kit and stamped around the image in Gingerbread VersaMagic Dew Drop Chalk ink to get a soft look to the snowflakes. I then cut the image with my large rectangle Nesties used the die as a stencil and inked with Spun Sugar Distress ink. I added some Glamour Dust to the image for a little sparkle. The sentiment is from WOJ as well and is stamped on a Nesties tag.

Here is the inside...this is a WOJ sentiment as well from the Wedding and Baby Collection.

Well, thank you for stopping by and having a wee peek at my card! I really hope you can join us this week at the WOJ Challenges!

Hugs,
