Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps - Day 5 - Lumberjack and Jill - Plus a Challenge!

  Today is our final day of Krafty Peeks for the January Release

 at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps!

Today we are absolutely thrilled to be introducing

an adorable set by Neda Sadreddin called...

LUMBERJACK AND JILL!!

This awesome, rustic set is going to be wonderful for Valentines as well as birthdays, masculine cards and more!!  I love all the fun accessories included! I'm using our monthly sketch, which you can see below, and the NEW Cozy Check Stencil along with Wicked Black Krafty Kolours Ink. After colouring up my images with Copics I layered them on with on of the awesome chipboard trees from the Krafty Add On package! Let me tell you - it is so fun working with chipboard!! You can use it as is, paint it, ink it, heat emboss it, stamp on it.... and more! I decided to ink my tree with Fresh Fields Ink and then apply Ranger Distress Texture Paste through the Lots Of Dots Stencil. After it dried I applied more Fresh Fields Ink and a bit of  Wicked Black around the edges.

I stamped the sentiments on the card and added some fun logs. My husband's birthday is coming up and he loves to have campfires in the backyard - so this is the perfect card for him!!

PS I'll be doing a Krafty Kolour Along using the Chipboard Pieces on Sunday at 2 pm EST in the Krafty Friends FB Group!!

Christmas Stocking Wall Hanging!

Hello friends! We are all getting so excited for Christmas at our house, and I had a lot of fun taking a little crafty time to create a pretty wall hanging stocking using goodies from the Southern Ridge Trading Company Shop. This would make a great project for the whole family to create - customizing a stocking each and maybe adding a name or initial. You can find the full step by step tutorial on the Southern Ridge Trading Company Blog!

I used some sparkly ArtQuest Stargazers Watercolor Paints to give the chipboard pieces a shiny coat of colour. A few cute elements from the Tim Holtz idea-ology Mini Christmas Ephemera peek out of the decorated stocking. Of course I added some beautiful sequins from Studio Katia and glittery Stickles!

I added some puffy Liquid Applique to the Noel sentiment, which puffs up when heated with a heat gun, and the pearly white paint added a beautiful sheen to the chipboard snowflake. The red patterned Cricut vinyl was quick and easy to add to the stocking!

Thanks so much for stopping by! You can find the full tutorial and supply list on the Southern Ridge Trading Company Blog. Hope you are having a fabulous start to December!!

Under The Sea Summer Layout!

Hello! We went camping a couple weeks ago and even though the water was a bit chilly, the girls wanted to get in with their floaties.

My daughter, Amie, who is 12, helped me create this layout. I love how crafty she is!

Vintage Father's Day Frame!

Hello! I sure hope you've all had a fabulous weekend! We had warm weather and sunshine here, and even a little crafting - all in all a wonderful and relaxing couple days. Today, I'm over on the Southern Ridge Trading Company Blog to share a Father's Day project I whipped up for my hubby. His grandpa was such an amazing man, and we recently came across this cool photo of him many years ago. He used to be a mechanic, so when I saw the Southern Ridge Trading Company Vintage Truck and Nuts and Bolts Chipboard along with the Medium size Multi Gear Stencil in the shop I knew just what I wanted to make. I have the full tutorial over on the SRTC Blog. I just love how it turned out, and I know hubby is going to love it too.

Southern Ridge Trading Company - A Frosty & Fun Layout!

Hello! I hope you all had a fantastic weekend! We got our tree decorated and put up lots of fun Christmasy decor in the house and spent Sunday making Christmas Cards with some friends - so we are definitely in the spirit! Today, I'm over on the Southern Ridge Trading Company blog with a lovely winter layout using a photo of the girls and their sleds on one of our first snow days in Alberta, which was quite early - in October. While the adults were all grumbling a bit, the kids thought it was fantastic and spent their time after school sledding down the nearby hills! I used some beautiful chipboard and wood veneer embellishments from the SRTC Shop to add to the snowy, sledding theme and had so much fun creating!
