Kraftin Kimmie Card

Hello Everyone.

I have been busy being a mom lately and really putting some hours in with work. I miss making my cards..... I stayed up late last night pulling my next 5 cards out so I can get some made this weekend (I'll be working too), but in a partially baby free environment. My mom is picking up my cousin and bringing her to babysit...I am so excited because it has been pratically a year since I have had one! I'll still be working from home but AHHHH.... without having to get up every few seconds! Which equals time for me to make cards when I am done working = happy mom = happy baby.... And my cousin just wants to get away from her brothers and see a new well not so small world.

Well onto my card. I love Kraftin Kimmie stamps....they truly are a breed in their own and coloring them. Once I get a little more practice I think I'll do awesome and get more. I colored her with copics. I used paper from basic grey. I used my large circle and large scallop spellbinder dies. I also used some MS ribbon. Hope you enjoy my clean and simple card.

BG49, 13, 11, 10, 0000, E50, 51, 53, 57, 59, 00, 000, 21, 11, R20, 11, 12, 17, 27, C3, 1, 00, Y15, 13, 11, 00, 0000, 0, YG11, 17, G28... I think I am forgetting one or two colors but I am doint this from memory.

Tilda card

Hello Craftmates. I have a new card to show. I love this card because it is so simple. Coloring Tilda was fun. Blue so far is a tough shade for me. I colored her with my copics on Paper Temptress' cryogen paper. I used papers from DCWV Garden Party pack. I used my cricut to cut out the circles and scallop the edge of the paper for the scallop. I cannot wait until I get some punches. I love seeing everyones cards with punches. I also used some recollections pearls and pearl flowers. I put Star Dust stickles on the bottom of her dress and middle of her hair bows. Also the paper has glitter on the turquoise part making it sparkle and shimmer! The sketch is from Sketch Saturday and she will be entered that challenge. 

I would have a better card recipe for you, but where I am at it is midnight and today was an extremely long day for me. I won a Tiddly Inks challenge (big big big smile)! So happy because I got more digis to play with. Cannot wait to color on those tomorrow! Although right now sleep seems a whole lot better. I will be counting my z's here shortly! Check back soon to see my next few creations!

Following challenges she is in:

Kenny K Brown and Green

Hello Crafties!!! I was hoping to make the stamp something challenge for sassy circles...hints all the circles. But, I have brand new front of the house instead. QUICK NOTE: PICTURE HEAVY BLOG! The fiance is home for a few days and it was time to do front yard crashers the not so free version. We laid down grass seed and soil. We also ripped up the front bushes and laid down a mini cobblestone patio. Laid a border around our tree, and flower bed and planted flowers. It was truly a first for me in the dirt and planting flowers outside with all the bugs! But it was a fun little sweaty workout.

Anyways onto my newest card.

Like I said she is a Kenny K digi named download diva. I used DCWV paper from the rustic line and garden party. I also used some ribbon from Michaels and colored that with copics E59, 57, 50. Just trying something different. Of course I used copics to color her. For the list : YR23, Y23, 21, C3,1,00, G21, 28, YG67, 63, E000, 00, 21, 95, 93, 51, 53, 55, 57, and 59. I used my cricut to cute the scalloped circle and the other circles. This was a real quick throw together for me and I was about 6 minutes late for the submission time. It's oaky though I have flowers instead of pine needles. Well check back again hopefully I'll get a few cards made this weekend for Easter next weekend and also have some Mother's Day cards made.

Hello Tropical!

Hello Everyone. So I have a new card to post for the following challenges:

Cute Card Thursday – Totally Tropical

My Time Made Easy – Pretty Patterns Sketch #4

She is a digi from Mo Manning and her name is Kalei. I thought this to be perfect for the tropical theme. With all our storms we have been having a little tropical paradise seems so nice right now…WITHOUT the storms of course. The sentiment is handmade. I will eventually over time have some better sentiments for my cards. I used diamond stickles on the card, flowers,  and on her ankle bracelets. I colored her with Copics, but as I said stormy weather and tornado watches, I could not really write down what the colors were before I had to put them up so my daughter did not get into them. I also tried some Prisma coloring on her hair. Definitely need to work on practicing with them. The papers are of course from DCWV Café Mediterranean. The ribbon is from my stash from Michael’s Craft Store. The flowers are Prima Flowers. I hope you enjoy her and I will have my other post up in a quick second!

Black and White

Thanks again everyone who comments. I really enjoy them! Like I said last night/morning, I was going to have another card up. This was fun and I love this card. I used copics cool grays to color her. Stardust stickle on her bow for a little sparkle. I do not know the name of the EK Success punch used or the name of the embossing folder. I want to say they are swiss dots. She is very simple I think and so fun to color. O the embellishments are from Recollections as well. I believe you can click on them and make them bigger to get a better view.

She will be entered into the following challeneges:

iCopic - Black and White

7kidscollegefund - See Spots

Copic Creation - Your Fav Copic Technique

Stamping & Scrapping - Sparkle

Just Magnolia - Buttons

First Attempt

Second Attempt

Third Attempt

These were just me playing around with colors and shading.

Now before I picked her I tried some others attempts and also tried using the Warm Gray Copics to color her once I decided she was the stamp for the job.

Check back again for more cards to come!

Secret Tilda

Good Evening To All....First off let me start by saying thank you to all who commented. It was a real confidence booster!

So yesterday I saw a challenge and I jumped for it. I was always the one who was over prepared in school and with this I felt so not prepared. I literally did it and was racing the clock with a few minutes to spare before the challenge closed. I cannot stress how new I am to blogging and to card making. I love coloring and crafts, always have. Hopefully I will get a routine down as far as challenges and dates so that I can be prepared. I have a calendar that I plan on filling out (like I said over prepared).

Well here she is... she is the Secret Tilda from the 2010 Merry Christmas Collection. I know it is not Christmas but she was good for what I needed. I used regular cardstock, DCWV citrus cardstock and Basic Grey cardstock called Ambrosia. The embellishments are really nothing too much ribbon from Reasonable Ribbon called Penelope. I got the crazy idea to weave some paper through some of it. Turned out awesome I think. Next I am not big with using sentiments which I obviously need to get use to. I used my cricut to cut out a tag and used some distess ink. Then I used some leftover thread from a cross stitch I did a few years ago and tied it to the lace.

Of course she was colored with copics. I will be practicing with distress inks really soon.

Hair: E31, YR21 & 20; Skin: E21, 00, & 000; Shirt, Bow, & Socks: R27, 17, 22, 14, & 12; Pants: E40-44.

Challenges she is going to be in

Paper Sundaes - Photo Inspiration

I am not 100% about her because I had short time to really think and work on her, but I cannot wait until tomorrow. I have a wonderful card that I am crazy about. Can't wait to post it for everyone to see.

Goodnight crafters.

First Card Made

I am so excited because I made my first card. Well real card. I made 50 birthday invites by hand for my daughters first birthday last year. This was a little harder considering I really had no clue as to what I was doing with just making a card. Well her she is! And Sorry for the blurry one just wanted a little bit more of a close up.

I don't exactly have a recipe for my card I was just so excited to get it finished when I had put stuff up. I used copics to color and a inkadinkado cupcake stamp. I used my cricut to cut out the circle and the scalloped circle using distress inks on the edges. I added diamond glaze to the balloons and also stardust stickles to the icing. Hope you like it and thanks for stopping by.
