MFTWSC98 Angel

***if you are here for my Kraftin' Kimmie post, please click here, or scroll down one post!!***

Hey everyone, and happy Wednesday!! That means it is time for another Wednesday Stamp Club challenge from My Favorite Things! It's MY favorite sketch challenge!

For my card today, I couldn't resist using that SWEET Pure Innocence Angel set again. I stamped her on X-Press It Blending card, and then colored her with my Copics. She was then cut out, and added to my Sweet Tooth layer cut out with the Circle Stax Die-namics. I then added it to the Pink Lemonade layer cut out with my Open Scalloped Doily Duo Die-namics. On my card base, I used the Rounded Banner Die-namics, and the Open Scalloped Border Die-namics. My paper is from the MME Be Merry paper pad, and I embellished my card with Let It Snowflake Die-namics in Berrylicious, Michael's brads, and Sweet Tooth Grosgrain. For my final finishing touch, I added my sentiment with the Sentiment Strips Die-namics.

For the inside, I have used more of the same supplies and a sentiment from the Pure Innocence Elf Girl set.:)

Here are the Die-namics I have used:

Kraftin' Kimmie Peeks-Day 1

Hey Kraftin' Kimmie fans, it's time for our November Release!! This month's release is FULL of fabulousness, starting with today's Travel Trinkets!! I am LOVING the trinkets line for SO many reasons, but more than anything...what a FABULOUS way to add a sentiment to your creation!

For my card today, I paired one of the new Travel Trinkets, stamped in Archival Black Ink on Sweet Tooth cardstock, with last months Fernanda Flamenco! She was colored on X-Press It blending card, and matched with the Lilybee Designs Victoria Park paper pad. I used MFT Fancy Flourish swirls and some Royal Rose Duo Die-namics flowers. My cardstock is Black Licorice, Blu Raspberry(both from MFT), and a pink my friend Tobi gave me to use, but I forgot to ask what it was, LOL!  I finished my card off with some Michael's brads, and Black Licorice Grosgrain.

Well, that is it for me for now! Be sure to hop around and see the other Krafty Girls and see what they have created just for you to see!

I started my card tonight by cutting out the gift card pocket with the new Gift Card Pocket-Vertical Die-namics. It was cut out of Sweet Tooth cardstock, and then I stamped my sentiment on the front of the pocket with Wild Cherry ink. My paper is from the Lilybee Designs Christmas Cheer paper pad, and I paired it with Berrylicious, Gumdrop Green, and Wild Cherry cardstock. I followed Karen's Sweet Sunday Sketch challenge, and used Sweet Tooth Grosgrain, and Michael's brads. To embellish it further, I used the Fancy Flourish Medium Die-namics, and the Let It Snowflake Die-namics in Berrylicious.

My card is also for today's Crazy 4 Challenges, challenge. The challenge this week is to make a card inspired by your favorite Christmas carol. I REALLY don't like Christmas music, but I have always loved the Mariah Carey version of "All I Want For Christmas Is You". What better way to get what you want for Christmas than with a gift card? It's a stretch, I know, but it's where I went with it, lol!

For the inside, I used more of the same supplies.
