Time for Papercrafting.

Hello All,

I decided to blog again and do some paper crafting.  I thought it would be a great distraction from the corona virus. Thanks for taking the time to drop by.   I made this card for the Cupcake Inspirations Challenge using this for my color scheme and Arty Divas

A little holiday magic.

Hello Everyone!!

Fall Leaves

Today, I have a card I created using the Just for Fun rubber stamp:  stamptangle elm leaf.   I stamped a pile of leaves using a green stamp pad.  Next I decided to highlight them with metallic water colors, then I used markers, pencils and gems to complete the leaves.  I made a couple of paper flowers and sewed the edges.  Have a beautiful day!! Thanks for dropping by!

Hello Friends!!!

Hello Friends!!

I made this card to showcase one of the new stamps from Just for Fun stamps.  I used three colors of inks for the green balsam.  I used some fall colors because I am ready for fall weather. 

 Have a great day!

Lets Talk

Hello there!!!

How are you all today?  I created this CAS card. 

 Don't you love this new Just for Fun Stamptangle House Wren bird stamp? 

 One of my new favorites.   I thought the sentiment Lets Talk was appropriate

 because he just looks like he is ready to say something.  

I used the distressed inks on the edges. 

 I used colored pencils and markers on the wings and beak.  

Find that special someone, give them a call and talk (maybe about rubber stamping-L.O.L.)

Have a great day!

Kim

Hello!!! 

 I have for you today a St Patricks Day Card.  Not your typical one but one using a large green sparkly heart. Using green sparkle embossing powder, I embossed this large heart from the Romantic Sheet from Just for Fun Rubber Stamps. Then I added tiny gems to the center of the designs in center, a simple paper bow and computer generated sentiment.

KISS ME ---I'm Irish!

I hope you have a great day!!!  Thanks so much for stopping by!
