Kraftin' Kimmie Saturday Challenge #519 - Not A Square or Rectangle!

Good morning and welcome to another Saturday challenge at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps! This week our challenge for you is to.... Make a project that isn't square or rectangle!!! I couldn't wait to make a cute shaped card for you using my Cricut Maker and the Hooray For You Card from the Candy Shop Cards Cartridge, which you can find in Design Space here paired with the super adorable Hip Hippo-ray! stamp set (on SALE until Sunday night!!). Seriously, these guys are adorable, and this gal is ready to partay!!

Are you ready for another fun and krafty challenge to inspire you and help get your creative juices flowing? We've got some fabulous ideas for you and can't wait to see what you create! Each and every Saturday we post a brand new challenge for the week and you are welcome to enter as many times as you like. These must be new creations and you are welcome to use any stamp, however using Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps and products will earn you double entries! The monthly prize is a $40 voucher to the Krafty shop!!! Woohoo!

I added two balloons to this dancin' girl, masking off the balloon in the set, and coloured up the images with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers after stamping on Bristol Cardstock with Wicked Black Ink - both waterproof and Copic friendly.

I removed some of the original cuts from the card front in Cricut Design Space and layered on stamped and coloured images. Then I used some Pastel Krafty Dots and sparkly thread to embellish it. 

Inside, I added a tag sticker and paper banner, both stamped with sentiments from the set. I'm sure whoever gets this is going to have an even more amazing day!

If you need a little extra inspiration or a jump to your mojo, we have a new sketch each month! Feel free to use it any time!

Flower Garden Applique with Video!

Hello friends! I'm very excited to share a new crafty company I came across - Sew Sweet Pea! Even though I primarily share papercrafting projects here, I do enjoy other crafts - crochet, home decor, vinyl designs with my Cricut, sewing & needlework - including applique! Sew Sweet Pea has beautiful applique patterns on their site, wonderful instruction references and what I really love is coordinating SVG patterns so I can easily cut the images and shapes with my Cricut Maker! Here's a look at the super cute pillow front I created with Cricut Felt shapes using the Flower Garden Applique Pattern - cut in no time precisely with the patterns uploaded into Design Space.

You can get the Flower Garden Applique Pattern FREE when you sign up for the Sew Sweet Pea Newsletter! The files come with fabulous PDF file resources explaining exactly how to applique and put together your beautiful Flower Garden!

Here's a look at the video where you can see how easy it is to upload the applique files to Cricut Design Space and start creating!

Thanks so much for stopping by! Be sure to head over to Sew Sweet Pea to check out all the other beautiful designs, and have a wonderful and relaxing weekend!! PS Watch for an upcoming post where I'm going to create an envelope pillow with this pretty piece 💮

Bloom Kitty Card!

Hi! I'm over on the Gerda Steiner Designs blog today with a cute Spring Card using the Gerda Steiner Designs Kitten In Flower Pot from the Digital Spring Bundle. We are still in full on winter here, but I did hear birds singing the other day, and that really got me in the mood for spring! This is a fun set that was available a while ago, but you could definitely substitute any of the other cute Spring digi stamps or clear stamp sets in place of this image. I used paper and stickers from a Scrapbook & Cards Today Sampler Pack, adding a sentiment cut from a 6x6 piece of paper. A bit of Glossy Accents and white gel pen adds a pop to the Copic coloured images.

Thanks so much for stopping by! Be sure to check out the Gerda Steiner Designs blog for closeups and details and have a look at all the adorable clear and digi stamps in the Gerda Steiner Designs Shop! Have an amazing week friends!

Valentines Baking with FREE Printable Recipe Cards!

Hello! I sure hope you are all having a sweet week! Mine definitely got sweeter with these pretty & delicious cookies that I made for Erica to take to school for a little Choir party! I decided to make a little digital scrapbook page using the Project Life App and add in the recipes for these simple, but awesome Sugar Cookies and Glaze. The Project Life App is FREE to download on your devices and I use it for so much more than making digital pages. I edit my photos, use the template to create two 3x4 sized photos to print out as a 4x6 - as well as many other sizes, save journaling cards, and today I decided to use the Recipe Value Kit ($1.39 CAD) to create my own recipe cards. I also purchased the ability to add extra text to photos and cards in various fonts, and I use this feature all the time!

Feel free to save these cards and print them out for your own use! This is one of the best Sugar Cookie recipes I've found. It pretty much stays the size you cut it out as and I always take them out of the oven just before they turn brown. They are delicious as is, but I wanted to kick it up a notch for Valentines!

I used the Rhonna Designs App to add a fun frame around my cookie pic and a cute and fitting sentiment! Because, hey, why not?!!

 Thanks so much for stopping by! I'd love to know what you do to celebrate Valentines - whether it's baking, making cards, decorating or giving some chocolately goodness to your family, friends or yourself 💘 Wishing you all a very Happy Valentines!
