Fawn'd Of You Deer Friend


There is a blog hop at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps today to celebrate all the new goodies from the March Release.

I loved the Fawn'd of You stamp so much I couldn't wait to play with it again :)
This time I went for more of an Autumny vibe and used the deer from the set as well.
The sentiment is actually in a straight line on the stamp, which is what I usually want, but I thought it would work better to cut it up into words for this card.  I just did this by hand and then stuck it on to black card and trimmed around it again.  I then glued it on to the oval in a way that filled the empty space.

This stamp set is so beautiful and there are just so many ways to use it :)

You Give Me Wings

newest artist, Neda Sadreddin!
It's called YOU GIVE ME WINGS!
This adorable set features three lovely fairy images plus a few accessory stamps, a fairy DOOR and several coordinating sentiments! I mean, so FAIRY cute!

I decided to use this fairy from the set and coloured her in very bright fairy colours.  I also used the birds and sentiment from the set.
For the background I sponged on some distress inks and then used the new Kraftin Kimmie Starburst      stencil with some texture paste.

Fawn'd Of You


Welcome back to Day TWO of our
March Krafty Peeks at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps!
Today we are sharing a wonderful spring stamp set
from artist Cheryl Grant!
It's called FAWN'D OF YOU!
This sweet set features a lovely lady who's getting ready for the nice weather to begin and the flowers to start growing!
She has two furry friends...a bunny and a fawn....plus four coordinating sentiments!

I love this girl!  Isn't she so sweet :)
I decided to colour her in bright colours to co-ordinate with this cute Doodlebug Design paper that I've been hoarding.
The Thanks sentiment is from the same paper range.
I also used some of the new Kraftin Kimmie Springy Dots.

I really like to have Thank You cards at the ready to show my appreciation and make someones day happier.  I think this Fawn'd Of You set is just perfect for that :)



Don't forget about the MARCH Ink of the Month!
The colour this month is LOVELY LAGOON and you can scoop up the large ink pad, the mini cube and the ink refill
for 15% OFF until March 31st!

Llama Drama

I am very excited to be Guest Designing for Kraftin Kimmie Stamps this month :)

All the Krafty FUN is about to begin
as we kick off the
March 2019 release for
Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps!


This is Day ONE of our Krafty Peeks and we are over the moon excited to share everything with you!
We've got new stamps, stencils, INK and enamel dots!
Hang on to your inkpads people....here we GO!
The first stamp set we are previewing for you is
called LLAMA DRAMA and is by our fabulous
artist, Melissa Baker-Nguyen!
This hilarious stamp set is just too fun for words!!
It features several main images (heads can be interchanged too), plus accessory stamps and awesome sentiments!


I used Copics to colour this gorgeous Llama and I took inspiration for the colours from the new Kraftin Kimmie Springy Dots.

I also used Copics to colour the background and added some charcoal pencil around the llama for a dark shadow effect.





I decided to use the 'spit happens' sentiment from the set to create a background on kraft card.
And I also added a few doodles and some washi tape.



As you hop around the Krafty Team's blogs today you will see the Llama Drama stamp set in action in combination with our awesome new March Kraftin' Kimmie products!
You will spot our newest addition to the Krafty Kolours Hybrid Ink line! It's a stunning new dark royal blue called
SPARKLY SAPPHIRE!
As always it will be available in full sized ink pads, mini cubes and ink refills!
We've got TWO brand new Krafty Stencils for this month's release to coordinate with our stamp sets!
They are called LEAVES & VINES and STARBURST!
And of course, we are adding some lovely new Krafty Dots!
These ones are called SPRINGY DOTS!
You'll get to see all of our brand new goodies in action over the next few days of March Krafty Peeks and everything will be released at our LIVE Online Release Party in the Krafty Friends facebook group on Saturday, March 16th at 1pm EST!
For now, hop around and check out some incredible designs from our Krafty Team!!

Love My Puppy

I have a card to share today using one of the fabulous new releases from Dreamerland Crafts.

I simply couldn't resist this one called Love My Puppy!
I don't even own a dog but I had to have it :)





I coloured them with copics and I decided to decorate her dress a little by drawing on some flowers and dots with a white gel pen.  It's the first time I've tried this and I was actually happily surprised with how it turned out :)

I used Tim Holtz Distress Inks to create the background.  I used a sun rays stencil with scattered straw, spun sugar and lilac for the sky and then used mowed lawn and evergreen bough Distress Inks for the grass.
I then sponged some tumbled glass and broken china Distress Ink around the edges and flicked some water on as well.

The sentiment is from a Dreamerland Crafts set called Birthday 06
I used a stitched oval die to cut it out and added a little diecut heart which I sponged Spun Sugar Distress Ink onto.

My youngest daughter loved that this girl had short hair (for a change) like hers.
And she loved the card so much that she has claimed it in advance for her birthday card :)

Copics Used :

B00
BG 000, 11, 13, 15, 72
R 20, 22, 30
W 1, 3, 5
E 000, 00, 13, 21, 41, 42, 43, 44, 47, 50, 53, 55


I'd like to enter my card in the following challenges :

SimonSaysStamp : Anything Goes
Papercraft Challenges : All the critters
Love to scrap challenge : Anything Goes
Words to Craft By : Best Friends


Thanks for dropping by today :)
