Krafty Chicks- Border Stamps



Hey!  Welcome back to another week of the Krafty Chicks Challenge!  So far, I have been having a ton of fun guesting and the team has been so welcoming!

Now for this week's challenge.  This time around we are playing with border stamps!  Here is what I whipped up:



It is as good a time as any to start making holiday cards and I had the perfect border stamp to use here. Here is how I made it:


  • I started by stamping my Simply Celebrate Lawn Fawn border across the top of my white Copic- friendly cardstock. 
  • Next, I colored the images using my Copics (see list below).
  • After my houses were done, I added elements from the Ready, Set, Snow set.  I colored those too. And added blue shadows to the ground and a blue sky. 
  • I stamped my snowpeople on a seperate sheet and colored them and cut them out with my snips and set them aside. 
  • I stamped the sentiment from the Snow Cool sentiment.
  • Next, I ran my scene layer through my Big Shot with my Wonky Stitches Die. I mounted that on a white card base.
  • I added my snowpeeps using foam tape so they were popped out.  
  • I brought my white gel pen back in and made some accents.
  • Lastly, I added some Frost Shimmer Stix to make it all shimmer. 
It took me a big longer than I expected, but it was fun. Here is one more view:

Time out Challenge- Bleep Bloop

Hey- I have a card for the current Time Out Challenge.  Here is the current theme:


I got the following cute little stamp at 2019 Creativation and hadn't yet used it.  But I wanted to make this card for the challenge, and with my hubby in mind since we are celebrating our 13th anniversary. 


It was so fun to make these sweet Heffy Doodle Robot Pups with a rainbow theme.

To make this, I stamped them repeatedly on the page and colored with my Copics along with the hearts and Bleep Bloop sentiment.  Once I was done, I added a teensy bit of gel pen to them.  I came back in and added the embellishments from Trinity Stamps.  I stamped and embossed the final sentiment in white powder on black.  Behind the white, I added some rainbow DP from Doodlebug Designs Inc.  Lastly I added the black to make the lines and the "translation" sentiment pop.



I love the colors, they cheer me up.  I hope the hubby likes them too.

Most of the supplies used, minus the stamp set and embellishments are below:

Stamp It-Corgi Style

Happy Saturday!  I am popping in quickly today to share a card I made for the the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge.


I love cute and cuddly and this pup fits the bill!  This card was inspired by another I made with the same style Corgi.  My father's girlfriend asked me to make for a friend of hers.  The Corgi looked just like this.  I didn't get a pic of it before it was given away, so I decided to make another. 

To make this:
  •  I started by stamping the Corgi from the Heffy Doodle Oh Crumbs set and I colored it with my Copics. Then I fussy cut him out and set him aside. 
  • Next, I die cut the background paper from Lawn Fawn (older paper) with my Wonky Stitches die.  
  • I placed that DP on a white cardstock base. 
  • Next, I die cut two versions of this Big Hello sentiment from MFT.  One in light brown and one in yellow.  
  • I used a bit of distress ink along the left edges of the yellow layer to give it that pop of orange.
  • I offset the layers and adhered them together, then I glued them to my card.
  • I placed my puppy in the front of the scene. 
  • Lastly, I came back in with these clay flower embellishments from Trinity Stamps as they were the perfect accent to the paper. 


Well that is it today.  hope you enjoyed and hope you have a good day.  Thank you so much for visiting!
