Count Your Blessings ~ Skrappy Challenge

 

 Hello fellow crafter!  Today is the newest monthly Skrappy Challenge at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps!  

Just like it says above, this challenge is basically to create and share a project that is ANYTHING BUT A CARD.  Yup... straight and simple!

For my project I made a cute little Post-It-Note and pen holder.  I thought it might make a fun table favour for your Thanksgiving table!  I mean, for us Canadians, Thanksgiving is only 6 weeks away!!!!

I used the adorable "It's Turkey Day" stamp set. That freakin' turkey just gets me every time. I also used the "Pattern Parade Stencil" and created the small strip of blue and plaid.

These were pretty simple to create.  I used THIS TUTORIAL by Rachel Tessman.  It turned out so cute!

Don't forget to check out my fellow Krafty Krew for more project ideas...

Happy creating!

Snail Mail!

Happy Tuesday!  Today I'm participating the Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps "Skrappy Challenge".

The theme of course is ANYTHING BUT A CARD!

For this challenge you can make anything you like....except a card! So design a new scrapbook page, bookmark, tag, altered item, planner page, art journal, ATC cards...whatever you like!

Just make sure to include some Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps products and make sure it's a new creation! As soon as we have at least five people playing along, we'll be giving away a $10 gift voucher to the krafty shop as the monthly prize!

You have until Monday, August 3rd to enter and you can submit as many new creations as you like for more chances to WIN! Also be sure to share your designs on the Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps' Krafty Friends Facebook page because we love to see your stuff!

For my non-card related project, I decided to create some super simple ATCs (Artist Trading Cards).  For both ATCs I used the adorable "Snail Mail" stamp set.  I also accompanied the little girl ATC with our fun "Radiant Rainbows Stencil".

The inks I used are Wicked Black to stamp my images in and then the rainbow ink colours are: Ruby Red, Pumpkin Patch, Summer Sunshine, Enchanted Emerald, Mermaid Melody and Whimsical Wisteria.

So I accidentally damaged my previous phone cover with some water so I had to throw it out.  So I figured I needed a new one.  Since it’s backing to camping season for me and my new Scout Troop I thought I’d go with a camping themed cover this time.

So I grabbed my “Good in the Woods” and my “Good in the Woods Accessories” stamp sets and decided to stamp them with Wicked Black ink and colour them up with Copic Markers today.

So here’s a photo with the panel slipped into my clear phone case.

Just be sure to include a Kraftin' Kimmie Stamp and that it's a NEW creation! As soon as we have at least five people playing, we'll be giving away a PRIZE!!! yep! One lucky krafter will WIN a $20 gift voucher to the krafty shop!

Welcome back to another month of Skrappy Fun at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps!!!  We challenge YOU to make Anything BUT a Card!!!

For this challenge you can make anything you wanna....except a card! So that means bookmarks, gifts, scrapbook pages, journal art, planner pages, tags, boxes...pretty much anything that includes a krafty stamp!!

I began with the sweet little girl holding the book from the “My Happy Place” stamp set for my bookmark.  I first stamped her and then masked her off.  Then I laid down a soft Copic air brushed back ground of yellows.  I took the fun “Harlequin Stencil” and soft brushed on some Pumpkin Patch ink right over top.  I then peeled off my mask and coloured in my little girl with Copics.  I stamped the sentiment on using “Purple Petunia” ink.  And voila… a super fast bookmark!
