I looked to the design team for a little inspiration on this set. My head immediately went to the back of the card and I was not disappointed! I kept my cards pretty simple. I used Color Burst to create bright backgrounds and then used the sentiments for messages on each of the cards. This set is great for creating larger batches of beautiful cards in no time flat!

Keep it simple friends! Cutting, gluing and layering paper just feels good, it does not have to be complicated! Have fun! Check out all the DT inspiration through the link at the bottom of the post.

I decided to create a few bookmarks for something fun and different with these fun critters!

I used Copic Air Brush System and the Splish Splash stencil to create the backgrounds. I also used Copics to color the critters peeking in and propped on top of the books!

I used watercolor paper for the bookmarks so the Copic coloring is very soft looking. I finished them off with some random fun fibers and Krafty dots. Now remember there is more to come tomorrow! Stay tuned!

Hey Hey! I am super excited to be sharing an image today from this crazy fun stamp set! I chose to color up this poor elf that has ended up in a tangle. But still appears to be in great cheer. Even if he is a bit fuzzy. I used my Copic and worked to to make the lights look like they are turned on and glowing slightly.

Here is a close up of the coloring so you can see it a little more clearly.

And here is a look at the completed card.

I am figuring he fits in the “Cute” category in the Krafty challenge for this weekend. Make sure to hop through the release and participate in the challenge too! Somebody is gonna win😉!

Copic Air Brush and Stencil

As part of the Instagram Blog Hop for the Kraftin’ Kimmie October release I created two tags and two cards really FAST with my Copic Air Brush System, one of the new stencils and Krafty dots from Kraftin’ Kimmie and some glitter paste!

I started with three sheets of white card stock cut to 4.25 x 5.5 and used my air brush to blow color into the centers of the star shapes on the stencil. I was going for a snowflake look.

Next I slayed the stencil back onto of the star shaped and scraped glitter paste over a few of the star/snowflake shapes.

Two of the card fronts only have 4 snowflakes total where the third is covered in them.

The two with limited snowflakes got trimmed then popped up with glittery cardstock in-between the card base and the card front. I also added a sprinkle of Krafty Dots for just a little something.

The third card front got divided in two and became two tags. I based these with sparkly cardstock, added a sprinkle of dots and a fun fiber tie to complete them!

If you came here from Instagram make sure to scoot back over to complete the hop! If you are seeing this through Facebook or my blog head over to my Instagram feed and follow instructions so you can get your name in the drawing for some Kraftin’ Kimmie prizes!

Have A Happy Colorful Day!

I decided to play with the Winter scenery stamp set today and attempted a full scene on a slimline card. I used my I stamped out the full scene first. I added a river running from the mountains out under the bridge very lightly with pencil. And then I colored up the full scene with my Copics. Here are some views.

I kept the scene at the center of attention. with a couple layers. There is a card base, the image is popped up on foam and then a very narrow frame layer on top of the image.

Was honored to get to play with Alison Cope’s first stamp release with Kraftin’ Kimmie! Hope there will be more to come!
