Hope it doesn't suck

Ok, so you all know I like to use stamp sets in ways that are unique and maybe even not the intended purpose.  That's why I try to make all o fly stamp sets super versatile.  The Stamp set "I Hope it Doesn't Suck" is no acceptation to the rule..... Check out these cards that I made today...

This is the Image as I colored it in the class for January.  I LOVE LOVE LOVE how this came together.  She is so sassy and just looks like a person I would totally be friends with.  She has attitude, and it not into this workout at all! hahahahaha!

Today, I colored her in a TOTALLY different way, I made her a ginger! hahaha!  I really wanted to use some bright and fun spring time looking papers, and this card allowed me to do just that.  

This just goes to show you, you can color any stamp in any way, you just have to let your imagination go a little wild.  That's the fun in getting crafty!

Now, I'm off to make some more coffee! I'll see ya all soon!  Toodles!!!! 

Same Princess, Different Dress!

I figured the girl had to have more than one dress and since it's springtime she needed something a little more..... PINK! ha ha ha! The DSP is from BoBunny and the flowers are all from Wild Orchid crafts. I used a BUNCH of clear Stickles and an awesome wooden clock embellishment! 

**SUPER SECRET KRAFTY KLUB!**

Okie dokie, so here's my card for your inspiration.... 

I found a piece of paper from a graphic 45 stack that I thought would be a soft and vintage sort of feel for this fuzzy little guy.  I stamped him with versamark ink and embossed him with black detail embossing powder.  I then made a frame using dies and matted him with kraft paper.  The background paper is from a stack that I bought a hobby Lobby, but I can't remember the name. I used some satin ribbon to tie a simple bow and a handful of roses, buds, and leaves from Wild Orchid. I think he's perfect for Easter, or just any springtime card. 

I hope you can join us for all the fun and excitement and prizes this morning beginning at 11am EST!! You can come hang out with me and Krafty Team at our LIVE ONLINE RELEASE PARTY!

Welcome to Day ONE of the March Release at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps!

Today we're going to knock your socks off with a super sweet set of lovely ladies from artist Emilie Goulet!  It's called TWEETIE PIES!!!

I'm super excited to share this one because.....some of you have seen it already! That's because it was the Super Secret Krafty Klub stamp set for January!!! So those who preordered it already have it in their inky little fingers!

I used DSP from Doodlebug "Happy Camper" 6x6 pad.  I just adore this piece of paper so I colored this sweet little girl to match the paper.  I made a gate fold card, which is something that I NEVER do, but I just love how it turned out! Of course I used my copics to color her up, ties a little bow with some bakers twine and used some enamel dots also from Doodlebug.  I hope you love it as much as I do! 

This adorable set features two main spring themed images plus four fabulous coordinating sentiments!
