To an old goat!

Hi Friends, Today I'm sharing 2 cute cards using Simon Says Stamp goat image from the cute set Birthday Farm Animals!. One is done in Copics and the other, colored pencils. This animal stamps are so darn cute and I have reached for them many times.

 Super simple card layouts, I just layered patterned papers, the first one My Minds Eye and the second one Simple stories (?). I used a sketch but don't remember which one since I made these months ago and didn't share until now. And layered the colored, die cut circle on top. A few simple embellishments and done! Great masculine cards.

Hello Friend

Hey everyone!! Welcome back to day THREE of our FEBRUARY Kraftin' Kimmie Peeks!!! Have you been enjoying the peeks so far?? All of our brand new rubber stamp sets will be released Saturday night!

For today's card I used Fancy Pants paper to create a cute sentiment-focused card. I stamped one of the wonderful sentiments from the new set "Hello Friend" with SU gray ink onto a MFT Stitched Circle die. I sponged Momento ink while still in the die. After die cutting a few MFT fishtale banners and the background with a Lil' Inkers stitched reqtangle, I layered them all together. Some "Twinery" twine and various makers of enamel dots finish it. BTW, those red looking dots are pink, the really do match, honest! :)

Today we are SO thrilled to share the newest set of elegant sentiments by artist BECKY PEARCE! This set features some lovely words about friendship in beautiful fonts and is called HELLO, FRIEND!! This set includes NINE lovely sentiments!

Gandalf the Grey

Hiya krafty friends!!! Welcome to Day ONE of the Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps FEBRUARY 2015 previews!!! I'm SO excited to share the new Moonlight Whispers stamp sets by Annie Rodrigue!! SO many of you have been asking for this theme.....and we aim to please!! ;)

Today the Krafty Girls and Guests are thrilled to share with you two totally magical new stamp sets from The Lord of the Rings books!! If you are familiar with these books and movies, you'll easily recognize GANDALF and GALADRIEL!!! You'll find so many amazing creations on today's hop featuring both new images and sentiments from these fabulous new sets!







 At first I was a little intimidated to color Gandalf but after I got started it wasn't hard at all! I did consult Google because I'm not a Lord of the Rings fan and had no idea what he should look like! ( I know, don't scream!) I layered the sentiment and an image on several layers of Bo Bunny papers and card stock. Since he so detailed, I made the card simple with minimal embellishments, just some twine, a button and punched borders. 

Below you will find all the Krafty Girls and Guests who have goodies to show you today and while you're visiting their blogs, be sure to leave some love at each stop because one lucky stamper is going to WIN some $$ to the Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps Shop!! Woohoo!!!

ALL of our FEBRUARY stamps will be available on Saturday night at the Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps Shop!!! Be sure to join us for an hour of celebrating the new stamp sets, fun and prizes on Saturday evening at our LIVE ONLINE RELEASE PARTY!! Come hang out with the Krafty Girls, Guests and me!!

Valentine for Hubby

Hey Friends, How are you today? I have a day off from work yet again because of snow! That allowed me to get my hubby's Valentine card done. I used Sketch Saturday 347 and the Curtain Call-Kissing Booth for inspiration. I pulled out a WPlus9 set, Dockside to help wish my boat-lovin husband a happy day. He truly is my anchor! 

I used some crate paper brand papers, some ribbon, a wood veneer sail boat and some twine. I distressed the paper with a TH distress tool and used Spellbinder dies for the cuts.

KK Cutthroat Lizzie

Hi Friends, Today I'm sharing a Valentine card using Cutthroat Lizzie from Kraftin Kimmie Stamps and this week's challenge theme, Peace and Love. I kept the focus on Love because there's nothing peaceful about a pirate, eh? LOL  I colored her to match this cute American Crafts Yours Truly paper. The KK sentiment is called Everyday Sentiments. I also used this month sketch that can be used all month long when making Kraftin Kimmie projects. 

This week's hostess is Krafty Girl Stephanie, and her theme is PEACE & LOVE.

Kraftin Kimmie Celebration

Hi Friends, I'm sharing a card I made for the Kraftin Kimmie Birthday and 2000 Facebook Friends Celebration! It was yesterday but you can submit a card until February 8th if you'd like to play along!

For my card, I colored "Peony" and used a sketch #5 designed by Tangii Crain for the occasion. The sketch is below.

Using Copics I colored the image and sweet little Bee, I mounted her on a scalloped rectangle and placed the piece on the card with foam tape. I used an American Crafts paper pad , using some bee paper to match. Some MS punched butterflies and black gems finished it off. I also decorated the inside, see below.
