What's Kraken?

 Ahoy there! Are you ready to sail off into the weekend?

Can we talk about how adorable this card is Tyler made featuring our What’s Kraken? Stamp Set. I’m 100% sure I would not know what to do if I looked into a ship’s window and saw this 8-legged bathtub full of fun!


Check out these images of Tyler’s complete card with gift card slot using several images and sentiments from the What’s Kraken? Stamp Set.



Not only do “I like BIG ships”… But I like BIG coffee cups and I cannot lie! Toodles!

A day at the beach

Hey Oddies and Sweeties!  I'm here today with another card featuring an incredible digital image from Some Odd Girl!   Ok, so I'm actually not a HUGE mermaid fan.  I LIKE them, but it's not a big  "OMG it's a mermaid I MUST have it or I will surely die," type scenario.  With that being said, Kristy has some of the absolute cutest mermaids out there.  The one I'm sharing with you today is one of my favorites! Here she is:


She's rightfully named "Mermaid Queen" given that she is wearing a crown and a lot of other jewelry. Lol! I just picked up a piece of Sweet Sentiment Coloring paper and went to town with my Copic markers!  I love orange and rarely see it used in cards, so I decided to use it as a focal point for her tail.  Man, I'm sure glad I did, because I totally love how it came out. I used a combination of Nuvo Drops and Stickles and a paint brush to make the ocean foam, added a bunch of flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts and Magnolia, I stuck on some enamel dots from Doodlebug design.  Boom! Done! The papers are from First Edition and Graphic 45.

Well, as much as I wish I was at the beach hanging out with mermaid royalty, I'm still in Idaho, and it's January and cold.... so I'm going to go make a cup of coffee!  See you all soon my friends, Toodles!

Happy Fall Y'all

Ok, so it's hop day.  By now you are in awe of all the serious cuteness that has happened this week, and perhaps you have already scooped some of them up to be your very own.  I'm here to show you one last project for the week so make sure you don't miss out on anything! he he he

I decided to use Happy Fall Y'all again to make another super "fall" feeling card!  Here she is:
This paper is from Echo Park and I thought it would just be perfect for a fall themed card.  I used a couple of black and gray circles to accent the image and colored her in orange and yellow for the season.  I also used these felt pumpkins from Martha Stewart Crafts to add a little fun to the card as well. I used twine on the sentiment to make it look like she was holding a sign! Super fun.

I hope you all have had a fun week with us, don't forget to hop around the blogs today and check out all of the Fall goodness that the DT and GDT members have created for you! Tootles! 

Who's ready for a release?

Oh yeah, it's release week baby!  Fall is in the air (well not really, not in Idaho at least, it's hotter than heck and totally still summer) and it's my favorite season.  I love fall because I get to enjoy the cool mornings and the warm afternoons, I get to drink coffee all day (yeah I know, I do that anyways, hush) and I have a birthday in the fall, and i get to start getting ready for Christmas!  All good things!

This release has all the good stuff about fall and you'll see over the next few days that it's all just too cute!  Here's the very first set... ready?????

Aptly named, this set is called "Happy Fall Y'all" and features a sweet little girl and all of her favorite fall things.

To make this card I started with some distress inks and a dampened sponge. I swirled the sponge on the paper after dabbing it in the ink to make that gradient background.  After letting it dry I used the pumpkin stamp from the set and stamped it all over to make the background.  I used the same sponge to add a little bit of ink to the wooden leaves as well. then I distressed the edges of the paper and glued them all in place. It was quite simple and lots of fun to make. 

Well, that's it for day one, I hope that you love this set, I'll catch ya back here tomorrow for some more release week goodness!! Don't forget to hop around to all the the DT and GDT blogs all week because one lucky commenter will receive a sweet prize at the release party on Facebook. Tootles!

What's Kraken?!?!

Hi everyone! Welcome to another challenge at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps! The challenge this week is to use Pink, Orange and Green!!!!! Naturally when I saw a color scheme challenge you all knew I'd jump at the chance.... I LOVE color challenges! 
I sat to work almost immediately.... well,....  I colored up little miss Sandy Seawater here and went.... hum......... so I left her on my desk for a few days.  I really didn't know what to do with her... I picked her up a few times... but then sat her back down... my Mojo had sunk.  What to do what to do????? Then my cousin texted me while I was sitting at my desk... she said.... "Hi Pal, what's crackin'?" Then it hit me!!!!!!  Behold.... Sandy and her Kraken!!!!! 


Full disclosure is that I JUST became the proud new parent of a Cricut Explore.... so... I used it to cut the Kraken tentacles and ocean waves.  Then I tied on some coordinating ribbons and boom!!!!! My very first pop up card was complete! I just love how this turned out! Now, it's YOUR turn.  I can't wait to see what you all make!
