Kraftin' Kimmie: A Crackin' Holiday

 


It's our FINAL day of peeks and everything you've seen us share this week will be in the online shop this afternoon! 
 
We are closing out the festivities with another very fabulous set from artist Neda Sadreddin called....
A CRACKIN' HOLIDAY!

How fun are these nutcrackers? You may have caught a glimpse of these guys over the weekend as this set was part of one of our virtual retreat classes with Krafty Girl, Allison (that's me!)! We're so excited to share this fabulous set with you! Three nutty characters, some accessory stamps and some hilarious sentiments to design some perfect holiday creations!
 
For my first card, I started by using the adorable "Holiday Lights Stencil".  This stencil is brilliant!!!  It has a light string shape that you can put different shaped lights on to plus much, much more.  I used some fun ink colours too; Yummy Yellow, Lovely Lagoon, Charming Chartreuse, Fresh Fields and Ruby Red ink.
 

For my second card, I stamped all 3 of the nut images included in this fun stamp set all over my back ground.  Then I coloured all the space between with shades of blue Copic Markers.  Then I laid our "Twinkle Little Star Stencil" down and added a light sponging of white acrylic paint for the stars.
 

This stamp set is SO much fun!!!  Great for those masculine holiday cards for sure!!!
