Hey, Foxy!

Hello, fabulous friends!  Kim, of Kim Kreates back with you today. I have been dying to share this card with you!  As I mentioned, the other day, when I went shopping, I couldn't pick just one set to work with, so this is the second project that I created, this time using the Magical Enchanted Day Clear Stamp Set and the Fox and Wreath Die.

I had colored up the image with Copic markers (colors listed below) and die-cut it with the coordinating dies and set it aside.  I have always thought of the red fox as a somewhat mystical creature, as they are so elusive, so I wanted to create a card that was reminiscent of an enchanted forest.  I printed some gorgeous digital papers that I found on Etsy and I inked up the edges using Walnut Stain Distress Ink.

I die-cut the wreath 5 more times from white card stock, and I glued each layer together to allow the wreath to really stand out on the card and then I tucked the sweet little fox behind the wreath.  I heat embossed the sentiment in white on dark brown cardstock, die-cut it into a banner, and tucked it behind the wreath.  I adhered all of my elements on to my card base and finished it up by adding a dainty bow and some Pale Gold Nuvo Drops. 

Colors Used:

Wreath - G99, YG67, YG63, YG61

Mushrooms - E49, R59, R29, R24, Neutral Grays

Browns - E49, E47, E44, E43

Fox - YR18, YR27, YR24

When I first saw this beautiful stamp set, I imagined that I would create a shaker card with it, but after I started putting all of the elements together, I felt that it would be too much.  This has turned out to be one of my absolute most favorite cards!  I hope you love it too! 

Thank you so much for letting me share with you today!  I hope that you found something that inspires you!  

Xoxo, Kim

Flirty Flamingos!

Hello friends!  Kim, aka Kim Kreates, here to share with you this super fun card that I made using the Flamingo Boundless Love clear stamp set. 

I have to admit, that this card did not turn out how I originally envisioned it; however, I just love it!  I had so much fun coloring up these beauties!  I have always found flamingos to be such curious creatures!  

I found some beautiful tropical digital papers on Etsy, and I thought that the pink and yellow leaves would be perfect as a backdrop for these lovebirds!  I stamped a sentiment and die-cut it into a banner.  I die-cut a heart and dry embossed it and then inked up the edges of all of my elements using Saltwater Taffy Distress Ink.  I wrapped the flamingos' necks around each other and then added them to the card, followed with a bow and some sequins. 

Colors Used: 

RV29, R35, R32, R30

I really, really loved creating this card and I hope that you love it as much as me!  I hope that something you have seen today has inspired you to get crafty.

Thanks so much for letting me take over the blog today, and a HUGE thank you to Sharon and the Prickley Pear family for providing such wonderful products to work with!  As usual, when I went shopping, I couldn't limit myself to just one, so I will be back in a few days with another fun card to share with you!

Xoxo, Kim

In the Barnyard

Welcome to the barnyard!! 

In our last release in May 2017, these absolutely adorable images became available, along with some compatible sentiments.

Meet Prissy the Pig, Bessie the Cow and Sammie the Sheep!

Heidi has them all on her terrific scene. And, I think I spot the clouds from Row Houses and trees from Retro Trees.  

 

Tracie's made this adorable card with Sammie and the Ewe OK sentiment.

 

 

Heather's been playing with the colors! The window was cut out with the Flourished Oval die. I then used the Spring Poinsettia stamp set, Poinsettia Leaf die and Tree 2 die to make the scene in behind Prissy.

 

Once I was done with the pinks, it was time to move on to Bessie and the greens! This card uses An Udder Year Older.
