Svetlana

Hello, hello my crafty friends!!!

Do you have any KraftinKimmie stamps in your collection?

Brill stuff!!!

Today I have for you card with one of older images from KK stamps: Svetlana.

Red and gold colour combo - good for birthday or Valentines or to say something important to someone we care about for :)

So...

Gold mirri card for layering, red-brownish heart patterned paper plus fancy oval die was my choice for today's project. I think all works perfect together :)

What do you think about my today's card?

Like it?

That's all for now friends!!!

Till next post!

Crafting with puppy

Do you have a dog? Or maybe you have a puppy?

We have almost 10 weeks old puppy girl :). She's a cutie, but not very helpful from crafting point of view :).
Just look at her!

Her name's Tula and she is Christmas gift for our boy - he loves her :)

Because my men are most of their days away from home - one at school, one at work, Tula's spending most of her day with me at home (she's after vaccination, so we cannot go outside yet).

So my time is divided between her, my house works and crafting... unfortunately crafting loosing battle until I have my guys at home to entertain puppy :)

I realized that actually I can colouring stamps with her on my laps, but dealing with papers, ribbons etc I have to leave until she's sleeping or is busy with Dom or his Daddy.

My today's cards are rather simple designs with KraftinKimmie stamps - Tula was sleeping cutie :)

Pink and blue combo with 'Party Time' stamp with addition of pink organza ribbon, image colored with pencils and distressed with scissors (kind of obsession of mine).

Valentine's card with 'Love birds' stamp with red layering on cute springy paper from 'Riverbank Revels' pack from Trimcraft. Images colored with pencils and also distressed with scissors.

Hope you like these cards :)

Till next post friends!

Colouring challenge

This month is busy for me from colouring point of view. I decided to join The Daily Marker 30 Day challenge on Instagram :)

So since start of November I'm colouring mostly stamps every single day... Most of the time I'm using pencils and white cardstock, but once or twice I used craft card and watercolour pencils :)

Image I coloured on first day of challenge - stamp from KraftinKimmie.

I used it for birthday card for my neighbour :)

Day 7 of challenge - playing with watercolour pencils :) Image from KraftinKimmie.

Day 8 - craft card and watercolour pencils. Image from KraftinKimmie.

Day 15 - bit of fairy tales :) Prince Frog :) Gosh I completely forgot I have so cute stamps in my stash :)

Day 18 - Christmas card with elephant (already sent away).

Day 19 - mini birthday card - image: Holly Hobbie.

Few more days of challenge left.

Till next post friends!

Kraft card and pencils

You know it is rather strange that I never coloured on kraft cards before. I'm making cards since good 10 years and yes, I stamped on kraft cards few times at my friend's house, but only big sentiment stamps.

Few days ago I bought kraft cards in one of shops and decided to give a go :). I choose 'Clara' stamp from KraftinKimmie (I think this one is my new favorite for Christmas cards).

I like blue and silver colour combo on my Christmas cards, but this stamp I coloured with reds, greens, red-brown and orange shades, so rather traditional.

In my crafty stash I found papers in matching colours.

First I cut another kraft paper piece to make nice 145x145 mm base for my card. Then cut chosen papers to size I wanted.

For this project I used simple layout with not too many layers - just few squares layered on each other :).
To soften it a bit I add gold thread between them and round sentiment stamp from other KrafinKimmie sets, cut with die and few gems.

This is my first card with kraft paper :)

Hope you like it :)

Till next post friends!

Lots of Layers Challenge

Hello peeps :)

Something different today!
I never took part in cardmaking challenges (except Cardmaker of the Year competition) and decided: why not try? :)

Lots of Layers Challenge expiring November 4th at 11:55 pm EST. More info you can find in Kraftin Kimmie blog: http://kraftinkimmiestamps.blogspot.co.uk/2016/10/challenge-355-lots-of-layers.html.

Last Saturday was day when my Christmas came earlier this year :). Postman bring me parcel from Canada:

Halloweeny stamps I won in 7th Birthday KraftinKimmy's bingo, and...

Rubber stamps goodie bag bought by my partner :)

Today is Halloween day and I was catch by thought: I still have time to make Halloween card!

Fact I don't have typically halloweeny papers in my stash, cause I was never doing Halloween card before. This time I said myself: You'll make Halloween card, cause you have still time and you have nice new stamps and you have lots of papers, so... what stopping you!

Plus I decided to take part in #355 challenge from Kraftin Kimmie :)

What I used:

My new stamps :)

Few pieces of black, orange, green and purple papers...

Plus bright orange ribbon and my pencils :)

Result here:

Card is made on white base and is blank inside. For extra touch I added 2 green gems.

Hope you like my first ever Halloweeny card :)

Till next post friends!
