A Warm and Toasty Hello

Hi everyone! 

It’s Stephen here with you today to share a fun shaker card design. I must admit, I love making holiday cards and I am sad that its almost over...although, who says you can't make Christmas cards all year round ;) 

I used Annie -  Warm and Toasty and coloured her up with Copic markers.

To create the shaker element, it was as easy as 1,2,3! I simply used the Shaker Basics 1 die set and the Winter Add On - Candy Cane Frame die set.

To finish off my card I did very simple ink blending to create my scene in the background and BOOM! done!

I just want to take this time to wish everyone a very happy holiday season. May 2019 be filled with nothing but good things!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Stephen

Lucille - Relax and enjoy

Hi Friends!! 

Today I have a card to share with you that I created for the new theme challenge happening over in the Stamp Anniething Stampers Facebook group. The Challenge for this month is to create a Gift Card Holder.

For my card, I coloured up "Lucille - relax & enjoy" with Copic markers. Since I was creating a gift card holder, I just had to use the new "Winter Add On - Present" die that coordinates with perfectly with "Shaker Basics - set 2" die set.

I did some simple ink blending using Stamp Anniething hybrid inks to create the background of my shaker then added some iridescent sequins. I layered it on some pattern paper and stamped the sentiment that comes with the "Lucille - relax & enjoy" stamp set.

I hope you love my card creation for today!

Until next time - Stephen

Otter-ly Adorable!!

I must admit, the moment I first laid eyes on the "From the Otter Side" stamp set I fell in LOOOOVE! This set is so fun to colour and I was so excited to get to create another project using it. 

With the holidays approaching, I love creating clean and simple  card designs and I feel like "From the Otter Side" lends itself perfectly to that.

To create my card, I started by ink blending a background using Purple Pansy, Mermaid Melody, and Bubbly Blue Krafty Kolour inks. To achieve the water droplet effect, I used an aqua painter that is filled with bleach and simply dropped the water and bleach mixture onto the ink blended background.

To colour the super sweet otter, I used the following Copic markers E49, E47, E57, E35.

I hope you all have a wonderful Holiday season and that you all get some time to get Krafty!!

Hugs 

- Stephen

Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps Snow Challenge

Hi Friends and today we get to kick off another fun Krafty Challenge!

I want you all to play along and would love to see your creations!

This week is all about....

SNOW!!

I coloured up the Fairy Loved stamp set and made her into a Winter Fairy. I had a lot of fun turning this spring image into a winter one. I used the Krafty Kolours inks in Bubbly Blue and Mermaid Melody to ink blend the background as well as to tint the texture paste into a matching blue colour. I then applied the texture paste onto the Sparkling Snowflakes Stencil and added a few iridescent sequins to finish off my card.

Every Saturday Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps posts a brand new challenge for the week and you can enter as many times as you like! Each submission will enter you into the monthly prize......which is a $40 gift voucher to the krafty shop!
