Kraftin' Kimmie Challenges #526 - It's a Recipe!

Hello all!  Hope you are staying safe and healthy.

We have another fun weekly challenge starting at

KRAFTIN' KIMMIE STAMPS!

Krafty Girl Allison is our hostess this week for

Challenge #526 and she's given us a fun recipe to follow.

Her recipe is: two images, two layers, the color red and a stencil. 

I LOVE theme challenges with a recipe! Do you?

My card features two images from MY GNOMIES

with the Chubby Clouds Stencil (w/Bubbly Blue ink).

I've also added some of the awesome KKS Lovey Dots. 

I hope that you'll decide to join the recipe challenge
and share your own lovely creation.  There is also
a Skrappy Challenge (monthly Anything But a Card),
a Planner Challenge and a Christmas challenge going on.
So you have lots of reasons to grab your KKS
stamps, stencils, inks and dots and play along.

Thank goodness we still have crafting to keep our 

hands and minds busy while practicing social distancing!

And if you need more goodies to play with, you're in
luck because the Frugal Friday Sale is going on all weekend.
A good deal for your and a great way to support a
wonderful small business!

Thanks for popping in to visit me today!  Stay well friends!

Whimsical Gnome Santa

Hello friends and followers! Happy Sunday!

Whimsical Gnomes was one of my favorite stamp sets

released this year from Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps. 

I decided to color one of the adorable gnomes up like

a Santa gnome and make a fun Christmas card.

I was kind of proud of myself because I used two 

die cut trees and the snow hills that I had laying on my 

table from a previous card.  I love when I actually use 

some stash and/or extras laying on my craft desk!  

One of the trees has an embossed pattern on it which I

was going to leave just as it was and then somehow I

got black ink on my finger and on the tree.  So...

then I grabbed a sponge dauber and added a little green

ink to cover up the black boo boo.  Crafters are so

good at thinking of plan b :o).  The sentiment

is from "Shake It Up!" also by KKS.

This card is being shared on the 

KRAFTIN' KIMMIE STAMPS BLOG

as my DT card for 12 days of Christmas.  

I would also like to enter this in the following challenges:

Kraftin' Kimmie Challenges #328 - Use 3 Die Cuts (and/or punches)

Hello krafty friends and followers!

Happy weekend - whoop whoop!

It's time for another fun weekly challenge 

at KRAFTIN' KIMMIE and this week

the theme is to use 3 Die Cuts (or punches).

FUN right?!  I love to use both of those things

on my cards and let's just say that my Big Shot 

gets lots and lots of use :o). 

In addition to the great Krafty Challenges & Wonderful Wednesday,

 each month we will post a Sketch. The sketch will last all month

 long and if you use it in ANY of our Challenges or WW's during 

that month you will get an additional chance to win a store gift card! 

You do NOT have to use the sketch, it's just a little extra boost 

for your mojo if ya need it! Here is April's sketch.

and here's my card to share with you today using 

one of the adorably sweet little stamps and 

a cheeky sentiment from the NEW clear stamp

set called WHIMSICAL GNOMES.  LOVE this sweet set:

 I liked the pattern of this paper so much I thought it

would be fun to give this little lass a paper pieced dress.

I used a scalloped circle die, a circle die & a sunburst die

on my card today.  The banners were hand snipped. 

I'd like to enter this in the following challenges:

There are so many sweet little images that you can put together
 and mix and match! Plus SIX coordinating sentiments
for a total of sixteen fun stamps!

Here's my card to share with you today - hope you like it!

First I did a little bit of masking to get the squirrels and snail

around that tree stump. Then I colored the images and scene with

copic markers.  The two mushroom stamps from the set were

used to create my custom patterned background (I must 

say I was pretty happy with how that turned out!) and 

I was able to use some burlap ribbon from my stash

to finish out the card.  The papers are by Doodlebug design.
