Kraftin Kimmie – Merry Christ-Moose!

Dec10

Sharing another Christmas card I made using Merry Christ-Moose! by Kraftin’ Kimmie Stamps.

To make my card this week, I began with a Recollections – Christmas Cards 4.25″ x 5.5″ card base. I die cut Copic Marker X-Press It Blending Card and Scrapbook.com – Jewels Smooth Cardstock with my Cuttlebug and dies from Moonstone – Hunkydory – Vintage Filigree Frame, Waffle Flower Crafts – Nesting Squares. With my MISTI and Memento – Tuxedo Black ink, I stamped the image onto the square die cut. The sentiment was stamped using VersaMark ink and then embossed with Ranger Embossing Powder White – Extra Fine Detail. Marvy Uchida – Embossing Heat Tool was applied to the powder to heat emboss it.

The image was coloured in with Copic Markers listed below and the snow in the sky was applied with a Gelly Roll Sakura #10 Pen. This pen was also applied to the Moose’s eyes. Sakura Glaze – Black pen was applied to the eyes of all of the characters and also to the dog’s nose. UNIPosca PC-3M White marker was applied to the snow in spots to give it a little more texture. U-Line double-sided foam tape was applied to the back of the die cut and sentiment and they were both popped up onto the card.

Happy Valentine’s Day Bear!

Feb14

Today, I’m sharing a Valentine’s Day card that I made for my husband this year using Kit and Clowder – January – February 2024 Markers – Valentine’s Bear Bonus Class on-line colouring class taught by Alyce Keegan for the front of the card and Kraftin’ Kimmie Stamps  – Your Gnaw-some! by Neda Sadreddin for the inside of the card.

The base card was created to the size of 5.5″ x 5.5″ out of Recollections – Red cardstock.  I printed out the image for the cup and bear from the card class using a HP Printer onto Copic Marker X-Press It Blending Card.  The bear, cup and hearts were coloured in following the instructional video by Alyce Keegan from Kit and Clowder. Once this was completed, using a Cuttlebug and Waffle Flower – Nesting Square dies, I die cut the image using the 4.25″ x 4.25″ die. The background was coloured in with a BG000 marker and then I added in the sentiments using Cloud 9 – Matt Blending Ink – Strawberry Sundae for the “I Love You” and then restamping it again using VersaMark. Versa Fine – Onyx Black was used for the “Happy Valentine’s Day” sentiment. Both sentiments were embossed with Ranger – Clear Super Fine Detail Embossing Powder and then heat embossed using a Marvy Uchida – Embossing Heat Tool. Anna Griffin – 3D Square Cardcentric Compendium Dies were die cut using the Cuttlebug and the 5-1/8″ x 5-1/8″ die out of Recollections – Matte Gold Foil cardstock. I applied the finished image onto the frame with liquid glue. U-Line Double-Sided Foam Tape was applied to the back of frame and it was centered onto the front of the card.

For the inside of the card, the image for the beavers was stamped onto the same Copic paper using Memento – Tuxedo Black ink and a MISTI. This was coloured in with Copic markers listed below and then fussy cut. The sentiments were all stamped using the same method and inks as above that were used for “The Happy Valentine’s Day” sentiment. I coloured in the heart and the lettering with Copic markers and then fussy cut around all of the sentiments. Liquid glue was applied to all of the pieces and they were adhered onto the card. Lastly, to finish everything off, some Kraftin’ Kimme Hearts Krafty Dots were added.

Little Girl Gnome and Pup!

Jun27

Today I’m sharing a card using KLM Digital Design – Little Girl Gnome & Pup from the new June 2024 release that I made. This image also comes with 2 more sentiments, “you’re so doggone cute!” and “I wuff you”. All my life, I grew up with pets. They always brought so much joy and laughter to the home and were all so unique!

To make this card, I began with a 5.5″ x 4.25 base card using Hammermill – Premium Cardstock 110 lb.. Recollections – Black cardstock was cut to the same size as the base and was adhered to the card using double-sided tape. Hammermill – Premium Colour 100 lb. cardstock was cut to the same size as the base. I spritzed the front and back of the cardstock and then using Kraftin’ Kimmie – Pawprints 2 stencil, a rubber mat and my Cuttlebug, I embossed the paper. With the stencil still in place on the paper, using Tim Holtz Distress Ink – Black Soot and Tim Holtz Distress Inks – Candied Apple and small blending brushes, I inked the pawprints and hearts. Once this was done, I cut the paper to the size of 5-3/8″ x 4-1/8″ and adhered it to the black background using double-sided tape.

The image and sentiment were imported into Microsoft Word and printed out onto Copic Marker X-Press It Blending Card. The image and sentiment were coloured in with Copic markers. The freckles were applied to the cheeks using Gelly Roll Sakura #8 Pen and the eyes and nose for the dog were added using a Sakura Glaze – Black pen. Gelly Roll Sakura #8 Pen was applied for the dot in the eyes and accent on the nose for the dog.

My Creative Time -Stitched Squares Inside and Out was used to die cut the image. I applied a border around the image and sentiment using Recollections – Black cardstock. U-Line Double-Sided Foam Tape was applied to both the image and sentiment and they were centered on the card.

Today I am sharing a birthday card I made using Kraftin’ Kimmie Stamps – Birthday Lulu stamp and sentiment.

To make my cards this week, I began with a card base of Hammermill – Premium Cardstock 110 lb. cardstock, cut and scored to be 5.5″ x 4.25″.

With my MISTI and Memento – Tuxedo Black ink, I stamped the image onto Copic Marker X-Press It Blending Card and the sentiment directly onto the base card using Versa Fine – Onyx Black ink. I embossed the sentiment with Ranger – Clear Super Fine Detail embossing powder and then heat embossed it with a Marvy Uchida – Embossing Heat Tool. I coloured in the image with Copic markers and then fussy cut all around it. Spectrum Noir – Sparkles – Crystal Clear was applied to the icing and dots on Lulu’s hat.

With a Cuttlebug and We R Memory Keepers – Quickutz Nesting Scallops, I die cut the smaller scallop circle out of Doodlebug Design Inc. – Made With Love paper (3.5″) and the larger scallop circle out of Doodlebug Design Inc. – Spring Solid Assortment cardstock (3-7/8″). Doodlebug Design Inc. – Made With Love cardstock was cut to the size of 4/3-8″ x 1″ and Doodlebug Design Inc. – Spring Solid Assortment cardstock was cut to the size of 4.5″ x 1-1/8″ for the rectangles. Tim Holtz Distress Ink – Worn Lipstick was used to ink around the edges of both scallops and the smaller rectangles.

The card was now ready to assemble. With liquid glue, I applied the smaller rectangles onto the large rectangles. Then using double-sided tape, I applied each of the rectangles to the base card. U-Line Double-Sided Foam Tape was applied to both scallop circles and the coloured image. All 3 were centred and popped up on top of each other to complete the card.

To make my card this week, I began with a Recollections – Winter 4.25″ x 5.5″ card base. I die cut Copic Marker X-Press It Blending Card and Recollections – Matte Gold Foil cardstock with my Cuttlebug and Creative Expressions – Industrial Chic – Gear Flower dies . With my MISTI and Memento – Tuxedo Black ink, I stamped the image onto the die cut. The sentiment was stamped using VersaMark ink and then embossed with Ranger Super Fine Gold Embossing powder. Marvy Uchida – Embossing Heat Tool was applied to the powder to heat emboss it. I cut some notches into the sentiment piece and then inked around the edges with some blue that I still had on a dauber.

The image was coloured in with Copic Markers listed below and then Stickles – Diamond was applied to the ground to add some extra sparkle. Wink of Stella – Clear was applied to the ribbon on the gift. U-Line double-sided foam tape was applied to the back of the die cuts and sentiment and they were all popped up onto the card. Lastly, I applied some small snowflakes from Recollections – Snowflake Specialty Polyester Glitter to complete the card.

Sweater Weather!!!

Dec14

I went to an amazing Ugly Sweater crop this week at The Scrap Club and I thought it would be fun to make a Christmas card for a few of the ladies using New Sweater Weather and New Ugly Sweater Stencil by Kraftin’ Kimmie Stamps.

To make my cards this week, I began with a card base of Hammermill – Premium Colour 100 lb. cardstock, cut and scored to be 5.5″ x 4.25″. Hammermill – Premium Colour 100 lb. cardstock was also cut to the same size. Kraftin’ Kimmie Stamps – New Ugly Sweater Stencil were applied to the paper using blending brushes and Krafty Kolours – Flirty Flamingo, Krafty Kolours – Ocean Opulence. I wanted to keep the background soft.

With my MISTI and Memento – Tuxedo Black ink, I stamped the images and the sentiment onto Copic Marker X-Press It Blending Card. Memento – Summer Sky ink was used to stamp the image of the pond. I coloured the images in with Copic markers and fussy cut all around them. I glued the stump and pond directly to the base. The mouse and bear were attached directly on top of the pond with glue. U-Line Double-Sided Foam Tape was attached to the bunny, penguin and sentiment and they were all popped up onto the card. Krafty Kolours – Ocean Opulence ink was applied around the sentiment before adding it to the card.

Cosmic Shimmer Fluffy Stuff was applied around the stump and the pond and then heat embossed with a Marvy Uchida – Embossing Heat Tool. Lastly, I added Stickles – Diamond for the snow on the top and side of the stump and to add some sparkle to the ice.

My Cup of Tea

Nov12

Coffee Loving Cardmakers is currently hosting the 2020 Fall / Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop! For my third entry into this hop, I chose the adorable stamp You’re a Squeak Heart  (Kraftin’ Kimmie Stamps) and die cut from My Creative Time – You Deserve A Break (Retired).

The image was coloured with copic markers. I coloured in the image and then fussy cut around it. For the tea cup die, I folded the base cardstock in half and then put the My Creative Time – You Deserve A Break die slightly over the edge. I die cut the cup once again, this time using the paper from Your Next Stamp – The Perfect Blend Designer Paper. I edged around the tea cup with Tim Holtz Distress Ink – Evergreen Bough. Then I glued the background paper on top of the base and also glued on the other tea cup die cuts.

For the little tag, I first stamped the sentiment with Versa Fine – Onyx Black and then embossed it with Ranger – Clear Super Fine Detail embossing powder. This was then heat set with Marvy Uchida – Embossing Heat Tool. I then cut the tags using My Creative Time – Little Gift Tags (Retired) die cuts. Lastly, the sentiment and coloured image were popped up using 3M VHB – 2 sided tape.

Sharing a card I made for my October Kraftin’ Kimmie Pen Pal using It’s Turkey Day by Kraftin’ Kimmie Stamps! For the sentiment I used Pumpkin Kisses (Kraftin’ Kimmie Stamps) and It’s Turkey Day (Kraftin’ Kimmie Stamps).

 

 

I thought it would be fun to create this card as an accordian card. To achieve this, I used Elizabeth Craft Designs – Accordian Oval Card dies. I die cut several patterned papers and attached them to the AC Cardstock – Autumn base card for extra support. All of the edges were inked with Kraftin’ Kimmie – Crisp Crimson for the centre ovals, Kraftin’ Kimmie – Tempting Tangerine for everything else.

The images were stamped onto Copic Marker X-Press It Blending Card using my MISTI and Memento – Tuxedo Black ink and then coloured in with copic markers. Both of the sentiments were stamped with VersaMark ink and then embossed with Ranger Embossing Powder White – Extra Fine Detail. The embossing powder was heat set with Marvy Uchida – Embossing Heat Tool.

I added a border to the top and bottom of the card using PhotoPlay – Mad 4 Plaid Fall paper, cut at 5.5″ x .5″ each. I adhered the finished image to the base using double-sided tape.

Sharing a card I made today for a challenge using Super Cool Pals  from Kraftin’ Kimmie Stamps. I really love anything Christmas and winter related and who couldn’t resist this adorable snowman and little fox?

To make my card, I started out by stamping the image using my MISTI and Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto Copic Marker X-Press It Blending Card. I coloured the image with Copic markers and then fussy cut around it. I die cut the background paper using My Creative Time – Rectangle Frame Dies. It’s from Stampin Up’, but I received it in a Mystery Box, so I’m not sure what paper pack it comes from. Then I tore up some Recollections – Christmas Inkjet Printable Glitter Paper and taped it to the bottom of the panel.

The snowflake was die cut using Hot Buy Craft Smart – Holiday Glitz Glitter Paper 12″ x 12″ and Tim Holtz – Sizzix Thinlets – Paper Snow Flakes. I ran the paper and my finished coloured image through my Xyron Creative Station and also the Holiday Glitz paper was put through it as well before I die cut it. This allowed me to make stickers out of both items. For the sentiment, I used my MISTI, Versa Fine – Onyx Black and then embossed it with Ranger – Clear Super Fine Detail embossing powder. This was then heat embossed with my Marvy Uchida – Embossing Heat Tool. Once this was done, I die-cut the sentiment with Lifestyle Crafts Cutting Dies – Nesting Circles and edged all around it with Kraftin’ Kimmie – Lovely Lagoon Ink. I also edged all around the snowy background with the same ink.

For the assembly, I started out using the base from Recollections -Christmas Cards and Envelopes set at 5.5″ x 4.25″. Using double-sided tape, I  adhered the snowy background to the base. Then I added my main image and snowflake. The sentiment was popped up using some 3M VHB – 2 sided tape and Stickles – Diamond glitter was added to parts of the snow to finish the card off.

I was late sending out a friends card recently, so today I’m sharing a card I made using (Kraftin’ Kimmie Stamps) Long in the Tooth!, Turtle-y Awesome! and Oceans of Love. For the background, I used Kraftin’ Kimmie Stencils Krafty Scenery 3 and Basics Stencil. I just love these little images and thought this cute sentiment was perfect for a belated birthday.

To create this card, I cut Hammermill – Premium Colour 100 lb. paper at 5.5″ x 4.25″. I created the background clouds using Tim Holtz Distress Ink – Salty Ocean and Kraftin’ Kimmie – Basics Stencil. The ocean and waves were created using Kraftin’ Kimmie – Krafty Scenery 3 and Krafty Kolours – Lovely Lagoon and Tim Holtz Distress Ink – Salty Ocean. The white caps were created using Copic Opaque White. The sun was also created using the same stencil using Krafty Kolours – Summer Sunshine. The sand was created using a mixture of the 2 stencils and Krafty Kolours – Sandy Shores. The images were coloured with Copic markers and then I used my Brother Scan and Cut to die cut them out. I went around each one of the images with a black marker and then ran them through my Xyron’s and placed them onto the background. I used some pop-dots to adhere the seashells to the card.

BBQ King

Jun6

Sharing a birthday card I made using Good In The Woods Accessories and Good in the Woods (Kraftin’ Kimmie Stamps) for the images. A friend of mine is a BBQ King and has won multiple awards for his prowess at BBQing. I thought these stamps matched him perfectly.

To make the card I started with a base of 5.5″ x 4.25″ white cardstock. Next, I cut the background paper from Your Next Stamp Designer Paper Pad – For the Boys at the same size. I adhered it to the base with double-side tape and then edged around the entire card with Kraftin’ Kimmie – Stormy Sky ink.

I die-cut Copic Marker X-Press It Blending Card using my Cuttlebug and Your Next Stamp – Stitched Rectangle Die Set. I stamped the images onto the die cut using my MISTI and Memento – Tuxedo Black Ink. Next I coloured in the image with Copic Markers and then ran it through my Xyron Creative Station. I adhered this to some red cardstock and created a thin border around it. Lastly, I popped up the image using 3M VHB – 2 sided tape and applied it on top of the background paper.

You are Mer-Mazing!

May29

Sharing a card I made today using You are Mer-Mazing (Kraftin’ Kimmie Stamps) for the images and sentiments. For the background I used Kraftin’ Kimmie – Mermaid Scales Stencil.

To make this card, I first created the background using some texture paste mixed with Kraftin’ Kimmie – Mermaid Melody and Kraftin’ Kimmie – Lovely Lagoon Inks. Once it was all dry, I used my brushes with the same 2 colours to fill in all of the white on the background. Just love how this turned out.

I stamped my images using Memento – Tuxedo Black onto Copic Marker X-Press It Blending Card using my MISTI to get nice clean images. The images were then coloured in with Copic markers and I added some Wink of Stella – Clear to the fins, bikini top and starfish in the mermaids hair. To finish off the card, I fussy cut around all of the images and them popped them up on the background using 3M VHB – 2 sided tape. As a final touch, I added 3 Kraftin’ Kimmie – Springy Dots that lead up to the sentiment from the Seahorse.
