Things with Wings

 

Good morning and welcome to another fabulous and fun Saturday Challenge at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps!

This week, I'm your hostess and my challenge for you this week is:

THINGS WITH WINGS!

Yes, your challenge is to create with things with wings!  That could mean... bugs, butterflies, fairies or even planes!  Be creative.

I chose to use the cute fairies from the "Fairy Folk" stamp collection and the mushrooms from the "My Gnomies" stamp set for my slimline card today.

I first stamped my images using Peach Party ink.  This colour makes a wonderful ink for no-line colouring!

 

I started my card by laying down my Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps inks as a base.  I used Summer Sunshine for the gap in the grass.Then I used my green shades for all the grassy areas; Charming Chartreuse, Mossy Meadow and Fresh Fields. 

Then I finished by colouring in everything in Copic Markers.

So search through your stamp stash and see what images have wings and get creating!

 

Each and every Saturday we post a brand new challenge for the week and you are welcome to enter as many times as you like. These must be new creations and you are welcome to use any stamp, however, using Kraftin' Kimmie Stamp and products will earn you double entries! The monthly prize is a 25$ voucher to the Krafty shop!!! There are two ways to enter: you can link up your creation on the Kraftin’ Kimmie blog page and you can upload your photo to the album in our Krafty Friends FB group.

Catherine Pooler & CAS-ual Fridays Collab!

 

Hello and happy Friday!  I'm Allison Cope and we're here to celebrate two amazing stamp companies!  Today we're showcasing Catherine Pooler Designs and CAS-ual Fridays Stamps!

In honour of our amazing sponsors, we have come and combined the two companies products together on fun projects.  I have made three cards to share with you today.

Who doesn't love a cuppa something special to share with someone celebrating their special day?!?!  I used the CP "Plaid Background" stamp in Grape Crush to ink up behind the fun "Birthday Die" from CFS.  I added some stamped and stencilled confetti as well using the "Jacks Stencil"(CFS) and the "Punctuated Party" (CP) stamp set. My ink combination is: Grape Crush, Juniper Mist and All That Jazz.

Who doesn't love a rainbow of happy wishes? I stamped the large greeting from the "Happy Birthday" (CFS) stamp set in yummy rainbow inks.  Then I added all the fun confetti images from the "WooHoo" (CP) stamp set.  My ink selection includes: Tiara, Tiki Torch, Party Dress, Pixie Dust, It's a Boy, Garden Party and Bellini.

For my final card I wanted to include some of the fun cupcakes from the "I Eat Cake" (CP) stamp set.  So I created my cupcake tier and then softly sponged my back ground using the fun "Jacks Stencil" (CFS) using Suede Shoes, Fiesta Blue, Flirty Fuchsia, Party Dress, Tiara and Sand Castle.  And who can forget the hilarious sentiment from the "Happy Birthday" (CFS) stamp set?  Too fun right!?!

A Harvest Howdy!

                                      

TGIF everyone!  I hope you've had a crafty week!

I'm here today to share a fun card I sent one of my PenPals this month.  It features this beautiful Fall floral scape on it from the "Fortunes of Fall" stamp set by Power Poppy.

 

 

I used the beautiful "Lattice Frame Die" from Catherine Pooler Designs as my frame for the flowers.

 

Here is the card opened up.  The sentiment strip actually holds the card closed with a magnet.

Now.... check out what my fellow Bloomie has created to share with you today....

Have a great weekend!
