Seize the Sketch with Kraftin' Kimmie

Hi folks,

Just thought I would pop in today to share the card I created for my sister-in-law's birthday. Like me, she is an avid reader so her birthday presented an excellent opportunity to ink up this image from Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps. I've had it for a while but am just now getting around to putting it onto some EZ-mount so I can finally use it.




card details:

  • finished size: 5.5 x 5.5 inches, black card stock base and mats
  • patterned papers: Bo Bunny "Zip-a-dee-doodle"
  • stamped image & fairytale sentiment: Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps "Lucy", coloured with Copic Markers (E000, E00, E01, E93, E11, E21, E23, E25, E27, E29, B91, B93, B95, BG32, R21, R22, E51, E35)
  • birthday sentiment: Verve "Small Phrases", stamped in CTMH Lagoon

Getting scrappy

Hi folks,

Just thought I would share a card I decided to put together from some of the left-overs from making the two Mojo 334 inspired cards.



I got a little blingy with it to say the least. I may be back tomorrow with another card similar to this - I still have the other half of that paper doily waiting to be used and those papers are still scattered about my desk.

card details:

  • finished size: 4.25 x 5.5 inches, black card stock base
  • patterned papers: Kaisercraft "Violet Crush"
  • stamps: Verve "Birthday Surprise", "Small Celebrations"
  • adhesive gems, gem band, paper doily and black feathery pouf from my stash
  • Spellbinders Labels 4

Mojo 334 - Take Two!

Hi folks,

while I was playing with the Mojo 334 sketch yesterday, I decided to make another card but with the sketch flipped on its side -- and mirrored. Same papers, same image, slightly different sentiment stamp. Yay! An extra card for my stash....





card details:

  • finished size: 4.25 x 5.5 inches, black card stock base
  • patterned papers: Kaiser Craft "Violet Crush"
  • stamped image: Frog's Whiskers Ink "Dragonfly" from the "Enchanted Hollow" series, coloured with Copic Markers (YG13, YG23, BV0000, BV000, BV00, BV01, BV08). I replaced the stamped antennae with antennae I made from black crafting wire. Background was sponged with CTMH Amethyst
  • sentiment: Verve "Big Wish"
  • Spellbinders Labels One
  • black satin ribbon and adhesive pearls from my stash
  • layout: Mojo Monday 334

Mojo 334 Crushing on Violet

Hi folks!

I made some time today to get crafty - I'm attending a 70th birthday party tomorrow and needed to get the card made for the birthday girl.

I looked up this week's Mojo Monday sketch and decided it would be perfect for the papers I wanted to use. The stamp is one of many I have from Heather's Stamping Haven, sadly another LSS which just closed its doors this week (because the owner is retiring and there was no one to take over the store).



card details:

  • finished size: 4.25 x 5.5 inches, black card stock base
  • patterned papers: Kaiser Craft "Violet Crush"
  • stamped image: Frog's Whiskers Ink "Dragonfly" from the "Enchanted Hollow" series, coloured with Copic Markers (YG13, YG23, BV0000, BV000, BV00, BV01, BV08). I replaced the stamped antennae with antennae I made from black crafting wire. Background was sponged with CTMH Amethyst
  • sentiment: Verve "Big Wish"
  • Spellbinders Labels One
  • black satin ribbon and adhesive pearls from my stash
  • layout: Mojo Monday 334
