Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps - Make a Splash!

This card makes a rainy day bright using this wonderful stamp from Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps. Although I usually make the base of my cards in bright white for this card I decided to change it up and use grey given the rainy image. The base is a top folding 5 1/2" x 4 1/4" using 110lb coverstock.

The dotted base I used was from the Bo Bunny Baby Bump collection and was cut the 5 1/2" x 4 1/4". 

I used my Copic markers to color up this image as follows:

Grey pant stripes :  C1 C3 C5

Skin : E000 E00 E01 E02

Tongue : R29

Once the stamp was colored I cut the piece to 4 3/4" x 3 3/8". I cut a base in crimson red 4 7/8 x 3 1/2". I adhered these pieces together and added foam to the base before securing it to the card. 

I cut the "sending sunshine your way" sentiment from the Pebbles Spring Fling 12x12 sheet "From me to you". I added foam to this piece before securing it to the card.

To finish off the card I found in my case of dies a great raindrops confetti die. I cut a bunch of smokey blue raindrops in various sizes and pasted them to the card.

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.

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.

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.

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:

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.

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.

I've come to really enjoy getting my hands on a great Nellie Snellen stamp here and there. They are all very cute and fun to color. 

I cut a piece of red striped paper to 4 1/4" by 5 1/2" for the background, which I pasted to a 110lb white cardstock left side folding card base

For this card I stamped the image on 110lb cardstock and colored using the the following color chart :

I used a 3" square nestling die to cut out the image.  I then used same 3 inch square die and another 3 1/2" square nestling die to create the dark red frame. I pasted the red frame titled directly to the card and added foam to the base of the colored stamped image. 

I cut a piece of the same red cardstock cut to 3 1/8 " by 1" to create the base for the sentiment.  I then stamped "Happy Birthday" by Stampabilities called Happy Birthday #1 using my Stampin' Up Cherry Cobbler ink pad. I cut the piece to 7/8" by 2 7/8". I added foam and pasted this to the card base.

I used a piece on 1/4" wide twill ribbon and tied it into a bow... I cut the ends long and tied a knot at each end. I used Scor tape to adhere the bow to the card.

Pink Ink Designs - Dragon

Pink Ink Designs - Dragon

As part of the Scrapofparadise.ca design team I created this colorful card.  







I absolutely love this great over-sized dragon stamp by Pink Ink Designs. This card is 5 3/4" by 5 3/4" and the photos do not do it justice.  The set comes with the dragon, a butterfly, a single dragon wing, a flourish, 3 different stars and a sentiment "Just Imagine"

I stamped the image on 80lb Neenah Smooth Classic Crest Solar White Paper. Colored as per chart below

Copics color chart:

Orange: YR16 E08

Yellow: Y11 Y15 Y35

Red: R35 R46 R59

Orange: YR16 E08

I used a piece of square paper 4 1/4" by 4 1/4" and traced out a square except where the dragon met the edge and and carefully cut out the square omitting the dragon. I used a Slice Precision Cutter with Ceramic Blade to cut out the tiny pieces. 

 I then fussy cut as close to image as possible. To finish up the image and for a clean finish after fussy cutting I used Copic marker 100 along the outside edge to cover the white core of the paper.

I cut a smaller square from Brown paper from the Echo Park - Wish upon a Star - 12x12 Solids pack.  4" by 4". I adhered the brown piece to the back of the image. 

I used another piece of Neenah 80lb Solar White cover stock approximately 5 1/2" by 5 1/2" to create a sky background.
I created clouds are made using the My Favorite Things Mini Cloud Edges stencil ST-100 and Tim Holtz Tumbled Glass Distress Ink. 

I used a piece of brown paper from Echo Park - Wish upon a Star 12x12 solid pack just shy of 5 3/4" by 5 3/4" and cut the dragon piece to 5 1/2" by 5 1/2". I added foam to the dragon image and adhered the pieces to the card base.

Coloring the weekend away

It has been a great weekend of working on coloring for future cards.. In the coming weeks you will see these used and i'll be posting the markers I used and instructions.  Stay tuned... :) 

Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps - Santa Paws

 

Today I would like to share a card I made using the "Santa paws" stamp set from Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps. This stamp had been meant for a Christmas card or scrapbooking layout however I had chosen a yellow and black theme rather so I could use this card as a birthday or "just to say hi" card.  For the "Lovely" I used a die from Heidi Swapp. To create the thick chipboard look and feel I die cut black coverstock 5 times and used adhesive to layer the cuts. To color the stamped image I used my trusty Copic markers and finished off with Tim Holtz distress ink to create a floor.
