Sending Bear Hugs

Good Morning friends,  Happy Hump day.  Hope your day is off to a great start.  I am sharing a card today featuring Kraftin Kimmie Buddy Bears.  I just received this stamp in the mail and its super adorable in person.   One of the challenges that was apart of the Krafty Krop this weekend was to create a project using one a animal and twine.  I am slowly working through all of the challenges.  This stamp set was perfect to create a card.  I inked the stamp up using momento tuxedo black ink on copic x-press it blend card stock.  I then colored the image using my copics.  I die cut the image out using a circle die from lawn fawn.  I layered the stitched and scalloped die cut behind the image.  The papers I used are from Echo Park dots and stripes.  I love this color combination, just brings out this little bear.   I then added the sentiment to the card which is from the squishy hugs stamp set.  I added some twine to the panels and to finish the card I added some enamel dots.

Copics used:

Bear: E15, 13, 11, W7, 5, 3, 1

Pillow: C3, 1, 00

I love the way this card turned out, its going in the mail tomorrow to a special friend.  That's all I have for now, thanks for stopping by.  Have a awesome Hump Day!!!

Kraftin Kimmie-Angie

Good Morning friends, yep its Monday.  Hopefully your Monday is off to a great start.  It took me a while to get out of bed this morning.  I kept thinking,  I just need one more day.  I am pretty sure I am not the only one who thinks that when Monday rolls around, lol.  Today I have a card share for today using  a Kraftin Kimmie Stamp called Angie.  As you will see, she is holding a cup of coffee and anything coffee related I am all over it.  I decided to participate in this weekend's Kraftin Kimmie Spring krop online over on Facebook.  The first challenge was to create a spring project using one of the Kraftin Kimmie stamps and add flowers.  Well, I decided to ink up Angie and color her up with my copics.  I used a stitched oval die from CC Designs to cut out the image and layered the fancy scalloped oval die cut by Kat Scappiness behind it.  I used Hello Sunshine paper collection by Doodle bug which I picked up from a local craft store.  I added some wild orchid crafts flowers to the card and I love the way this card turned out.

Lovely Marci

Good Morning crafty friends, thanks for stopping by.  Today I am sharing a Good Luck card featuring the Lovely Marci by La La Land Crafts.  I colored this image during La La Land's Facebook challenge a couple of weeks ago and decided to create a card with her.  She is super cute and I love all of the green in her dress.  I colored her up using my copics and cut her out using my brother scan and cut.  I pulled out my large circle embossing folder and embossed the front panel of the card.   I die cut a medium circle out of black card stock from the stitched circle die by La La Land Crafts.  I cut the circle in half to create a pot to place my gold hearts in.   La La Land Crafts is now carrying adhesive vinyl and foil in their store. Yayyy, I was super excited when Irina announced she was carrying this in the store.  I had to add it to my cart immediately.  This was the perfect opportunity to crack open my new adhesive vinyl.  I used the gold vinyl on chipboard and die cut the hearts out using the stitched hearts set from La La Land Crafts.  I layered the hearts in the circle to create dimension as I was going for the pot of gold affect.  I added the stitched tag behind the hearts, I then added the sentiment Best of Luck from Irish Marci stamp set.  Ok, I know I say this every time I create a card.  I truly am in love with this card, I am loving everything about this card.  This will be one of those cards that will be difficult to give away, lol.

Valentines Loaded Envelope

Hello my friends, it's Friday and I am super excited.   I wanted to share a Valentine's Loaded Envelope I did for a swap  I participated in on Facebook.  My partner received her package this week so now I share. We were asked to create a Valentines Loaded envelope with two pockets.  I loved the way this loaded envelope turned out.  It was so much fun to make.

This is a 6x9 envelope created using card stock with two pockets.  I used the Authentique paper  Beloved paper line to create the loaded envelope. I added some lace to one of the pockets along with the love word that I die cut out.   I added a jumbo tag with one of the Prima Doll stamps in the second pocket.  I colored the Prima doll stamp with copic markers.  I then added some handmade rosettes on a stick inside the envelope that have several embellishments.  Again, I love the way this envelope turned out, they are definitely addicting to make.

I hope you like this envelope, definitely check out you tube and Pinterest for additional inspiration.  That's all for today, thanks for stopping by! Have a awesome Friday and we will chat soon.
