Fall Activities and/or Halloween

You can choose one theme or combine them!
Enter as many times as you like all month long!
It's a Choose Your Own Krafty Adventure!

Krafty Girl, HEATHER is our Hostess with the Mostess this week!

Happy Fall everyone!!  I chose Fall Activities for this challenge, and the "Leaves are Falling" stamp set.Leaves are Falling! – Kraftin Kimmie Stamps

  

I thought that I would shake things up a bit with this card.  I stamped the image using Kraftin Kimmie Wicked Black Ink Wicked Black Ink Pad! – Kraftin Kimmie Stamps and coloured it up using Copic markers that I matched to my patterned paper choice.  I made a shaker card using tiny leaves that were cut from some patterned leaf paper in my stash.  I also added a few sequins in fall colours.  I used some Sandy Shores Ink Sandy Shores Ink Pad! – Kraftin Kimmie Stamps for the sentiment and ink blending around the brown cardstock of the card base to give some depth to the plain cardstock.  

A few small leaf die cuts and this card is finished!  I hope that you like it. 

 Are you doing some fall crafting?

Yes, I used all of the prompts to make this card. I used something old which was the paper and the Pawprints stencil which I used to dry emboss my background paper.   Pawprints 2 Stencil! – Kraftin Kimmie Stamps  

I also used the adorable stamp set, Furry Angels! – Kraftin Kimmie Stamps Furry Angels.  I have had this set for a while but this is the first time that I have inked it up and used it.  (gasp) This is a set that you need to have.  Pets have become part of our family.   

I also used the stencil, Krafty Scenery 4, for the background clouds  Krafty Scenery 4! – Kraftin Kimmie Stamps  and I used Blue Bay Ink to add the clouds to my image mat. Blue Bay Ink Pad! – Kraftin Kimmie Stamps  Of course I added some glimmer to the wings. I love doing challenge cards.  They certainly make you go through your stash/supplies to find and use what we have.

I used the squirrel and rabbit drinking a foamy latte for my second card.  The latte has some sparkle and I added some Krafty dots to the sentiment oval.  Yummy--now I want a latte too!

June Krafty Peeks... Day TWO! Desert Landscape!

        Welcome back to Day TWO of our June Krafty Peeks!

Are you excited about what you've seen so far!?  Are you ready for more?

I hope your answer was yes because we've got more fabulous fun for you today!

The stamp set we are 'peeking' for you today is from 

artist Michelle Houghton

 and it's called.....

DESERT LANDSCAPE!

If you loved the beautiful Majestic Mountains scenery, then you will definitely love our newest landscape scene!! You can colour this up as the focal image - or use it as a background for your favourite characters! It looks amazing inside our fabulous You've Been Framed stamps as well!

 Check out DESERT LANDSCAPE! and our new stencils in so many awesome creations today as you hop around the Krafty Team's blogs!  

I used Prisma Color Pencils to colour up this image.  It is a different medium to use, however, I like the 'desert-like' look that I achieved. I made an open up oval front 

and the inside of the card...

I hope you like it.  
 You'll see more of our June goodies all week, and then everything will be released after our LIVE Online Release Party on Saturday at 2 pm ET in the Krafty Friends facebook group!
