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.

This month's inspiration is the Ocean or WILD CARD.  Of course, I chose the wild card.  I chose my favourite (current)  stamp set,   Pandamonium.  

If you know me, I adore pandas and the colour purple.  I used both to make this slimline card.  I also made what I call a "faux shaker" card.  I used sequins placed randomly all over the background of the cutout.  The pandas were coloured with Copic markers, C9, 7,6, and of course purple.  

Do you have a favourite stamp set and colour? Let's see what you create!

This stamp set reminded me of a beautiful sunset photo that you would take probably towards the end of a tropical vacation.  I coloured it with Copics and using my Cricut made a Polaroid style frame from multiple layers of cardstock that were glued together to give it some dimension.  This would be a great image for a scrapbook page as well.

July Krafty Peeks... Day TWO! Underwater Pals!

 Welcome back to Day TWO of our July 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 Neda Sadreddin

 and it's called.....

UNDERWATER PALS!

This fun and fabulous set perfectly coordinates with the beautiful Mermaid Kisses set we shared yesterday!! Just think about the awesome underwater scenes you'll be creating! 

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

For this card I used the stencil, Underwater Scenery and inked the back side with amazing azure ink, spritzed with water and then put the stencil on my cardstock.  Leaving the cardstock and stencil in place, the stencil was run through the die cutting machine to emboss the area for the greenery.  After the embossing, the greenery was inked up.  I love the 3-D look of this technique and it was perfect for the fish in the water.  

You'll see more of our July goodies all week, and then everything will be released after our LIVE Online Release Party on Saturday at 12 noon ET in the Krafty Friends facebook group!

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.

April Krafty Peeks... Day TWO! Majestic Mountains!

   Welcome back to Day TWO of our April 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.....

MAJESTIC MOUNTAINS!

This beautiful mountain background would be the perfect backdrop to create a scene for your images - or amazing alone with a sentiment!

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

This beautiful stamp set spoke to me as a great Birthday card.  I made a mask of the mountain and inked up a sunrise behind the mountains.  The scene was coloured with copics and I added a stream.  Using diorama dies, it looks like you are looking at a secret spot.  The trees on the left are fussy cut and popped up overtop of the stamped ones.

The dot splatter on this card was made with the "Spring Scenery" stamp and Amazing Azure Ink.

These are such sweet travelling critters that I love making them the focal point of my cards. 

This little bunny was coloured up with Brown tone copics.  The background is a piece of newspaper style cardstock that I stenciled over with the "On the Go" stencil using texture paste and Sandy Shores reinker.  This is a great way to use up some of those papers that you aren't overly fond of anymore
