Inspirational Wednesday - Autumn Pumpkins!

 

 Good morning Krafty Friends!!  

Welcome to another Inspirational Wednesday,

the day of the week that we provide you with a little extra

inspiration for your krafty projects!! 

This week the featured stamp set is...Autumn Pumpkins!

For this card, I stamped the image with Kraftin Kimmie Wicked Black ink and coloured it up with my Copic markers.  After fussy cutting, I matted the image with ovals, stamped the sentiment and then splattered a little gold glitter ink over top.  The kraft cardstock was dry embossed and the card was assembled after adding a couple of orange glitter gems.  

Make sure you grab this featured stamp set for 40% off in the shop!! You need this set for your fall and Thanksgiving creations.  

Happy Canadian Thanksgiving everyone!

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.

Mid Month April Saturday Challenge #667 - Stitching, Stencils and/or Orange!

   Good morning and welcome to our  

Monthly Saturday Challenge Mid Inspiration Post

at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps!

We are back today with an inspirational post showcasing more ideas to inspire you and help get your creative juices flowing!

STITCHING, STENCILS AND/OR ORANGE!

Our Ink Of The Month, which will be on sale all month long, just happens to be a lovely shade of orange!! This month features the gorgeous Cool Canteloupe Ink Pad, Cube and Reinker! Grab it now to add to your collection.

I chose all 3 of the challenges for my card. 

I used the stamp set "Hey You" and the Falling Leaves stencil.  I used gilding flakes with the stencil and coloured the images using Prismacolor Pencils which is a change for me, but I am super happy with the way that they turned out.  I needed a piece of orange cardstock for a mat so I ink blended some Cool Cantaloupe ink on my white mat and I have the perfect colour to highlight the card. The dies for the mats are stitched too.

It is time for coffee!!

 I made a cute Halloween themed card featuring..coffee

The chipboard, sentiment and images are from Kraftin Kimmie. I used copper embossing powder and some dry embossing to fancy things up.

A simple card to make and send to your friends. 

And, don't we all know a few people who that sentiment fits perfectly.

Happy Crafting

A Happy Fall Birthday!

 I made a special fall birthday card using, Autumn Pumpkins, from Kraftin Kimmie Stamps, *NEW Autumn Pumpkins! – Kraftin Kimmie Stamps.  

Using a cozy Fall paper,( Four Seasons—Autumn Paper Packet (X8036B) | Close To My Heart ) the  image was coloured with copics, and decorated with a few metal style embellishments for a perfect fall card that will easily fit in the mailbox.

A simple, yet beautiful fall birthday card for someone special.

Stay crafty, there is more to follow

HAPPY THANKSGIVING - HAPPY FALL

 Our family has certainly had it's share of sorrow this year, but this is a time to reflect on the goodness in our lives.

I created this card using the Falling Leaves stencil and foiling technique with a bronze/copper foil.  The images from Autumn Pumpkins were stamped onto Neenah Kraft paper and coloured with pencils.  Since the card was made with only cardstock, I decorated the envelope with another of the stamp set images and coloured it with simple markers.  

I hope that you like it.

I want to wish everyone a very Happy Thanksgiving and a Happy Fall.

Keep on crafting.
