Just Flying By To Say Hi

I really loved the sketch from last week's The Cat's Pajamas Challenge, so I decided to use it again to make another fun little card. Paired with one of my favorite sets, Flying By, it just doesn't get any cuter. 

I used an MME paper pad, and paired it with some Banana Split paper from Bazzill, and Berrylicious from MFT. I used Berrylicious, Steel Grey, and Lemon Drop buttons, hemp cord, Michael's brads, and spiral clips to embellish with. I also added a some clouds using the Cloud Border CutUps.

Well, that is it for me for now. Thanks for stopping by, and have a great day!!

Candy Bars and Birthday Wishes

Hey everyone, it's my week to post a Krafty Tip & Tute over on the Kraftin' Kimmie Blog. I don't normally do anything that requires a tip or a tute, but these Candy Bar Slide Holders are so easy, and fun, you can't help but want to make them. :)

 I chose to use the Make A Wish set. I cut some balloons out using a Balloon Die-namic from MFT, and some Simple Stories paper. I added some hemp cord as the strings for the balloons, and then gathered them together with a Lemon Drop button. To finish I added some brads to my sentiment, and then layered it with Lemon Drop, Wild Cherry, and Nightshift Blue cardstock. 

Well, that is it for me for now!! Hope you enjoyed it! Have a Krafty Day!

I also want to wish a VERY happy birthday to the sweetest, most amazing man to ever enter my life. The man that gives me strength when I have none, and believes in me even when I don't. Mark, I hope you have the best birthday, to the moon and back babe. :)

A Crazy Masculine Saturday Challenge

Hi everyone! Welcome to another challenge at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps!

It's Deborah here today with a new challenge for you! My little nephew becomes 6 years old this week, so I've chosen to have a boy's theme this week. The new challenge is:
All About the Boys!!!  

For my card today, I used the new Words of Inspiration set, which basically eliminated my struggle with trying to figure out which one of the super cute or gorgeous Kimmie Stamps I was going to have to make manly....which I think we all struggle with, right?  I used an old MFT Dienamics to create my layered sentiment. My paper is from one of the MME Notable pads, and I paired it with Orange Fizz, Berrylicious, and Kraft cardstock from MFT. To embellish my card, I added Orange Fizz, Berrylicious, and Sweet Tooth buttons. My finishing touches were more hemp cord, and some brads.

My card is also for this weeks CRAZY 4 CHALLENGES challenge, to use opposites.

Happy Saturday Everyone! Alexis is hosting this weeks Saturday Challenge - Happy Birthday!! 

  
We always enjoy your creations so be sure to submit them so you can WIN a $10 gift card to the Shop!!  Show us your stuff!!

For my card today, I used the super cute Party Monsters set and the Echo Park Fine and Dandy paper pad from the Kraftin' Kimmie stamps store.

I also used this card for this week's Crazy 4 Challenges challenge, to use the first things you thought of....I just got this YUMMY paper from Kimmie at the KKS store, and I have been organizing my stamp sets and just ran across this super cute monster that I had never(for shame) used, so well...it was a no brainer.

Wonderful Wednesday-Card Set

It's Wonderful Wednesday time!!  We hope you can play along!!  As always....it's ANYTHING GOES!!  Break out your Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps and get krafty!

Since it's Anything Goes, I decided to make a CAS birthday card set!!

For my card set, I used the fun new Make a Wish set, which is full of awesome sentiments for all your birthday needs!! Not only are these sentiments great to pair with other images, but they work well both outside, and inside your cards!

Each card was made using the same supplies, and embellishments, so they were super simple to make and can be done relatively fast, but are great for building your stash, or putting together as a gift set.

I used MFT buttons and cardstock in Orange Fizz, Berrylicious, and Bubblegum, and some Orange Fizz grosgrain as well. I added some brads and a spiral clip as well, because you know I can't live without them.

To finish off, I stamped my sentiments with Arichival black ink, and then added them on using the spiral clip as an anchor on one end, and a pop dot on the other. 

If you've not been by the Krafty store recently you'll want to pay a visit as Kimmie has loaded several re-stocks and I think there may be a few new items as well!!  And don't forget that January Krafty peeks start next week!

We want EVERYONE to be able to play along so your submission can use ANY stamp and can be any theme, any style, any design and it can be a card, a scrapbook page, an altered item....you name it!!  It must be a NEW creation and you can enter on this post until January 13th at midnight!  At the end of the month one random winner will be chosen from all the submissions for the whole month and will receive a $20 Gift Card to the shop!!!  What do you think.....wanna WIN??  Let's see your krafty stuff!!

Thanks for stopping by and checking out my blog today!! Have a great day, and see you around!!!

For today's card, I used the super cute Flutter By set from The Cat's Pajamas. I stamped my cute little bunny on X-Press It blending card, and then colored it with Copics. I then layered her with Berrylicious and Orange Fizz. For the background, I used the Dots CutUps and some MME paper to create my background, then added some clouds using the Talk To Me CutUps.
