Nature inspired

Good morning everyone and welcome to the weekend! This has been a great week for me, I got some great news (more on that later), the weather is beautiful and I have my friends and family, doesn't get much better does it? Anyways, our challenge this week at Kraftin Kimmie's is brought to you by none other then Moi and it is "Nature Inspired". Fall always makes me think of beautiful leaves, acorns and mums so that is where I got my challenge from.

I have chosen to use one of the latest release's by Rachelle Ann Miller, this is Santa and pup and I have added a pine tree die cut and some lovely flowers to tie into the nature theme.

His bag is paper pieced and 3 dimensional and I have added glamour dust glitter to the snow and white sparkly fluff to his hat and coat trim. Papers are by Christmas Village by Best Creations. All right, that's it for me today. Enjoy your weekend and make sure to play along for your chance to win this stamp!

Fairytale time at La-la

Good morning everyone, today I am showing you a card for the current inspiration at La-la Land crafts which is "Fairytale". And I thought what better image for a fairytale then a fairy right? This is Rose Faerie Marci.

I tried a new blush combo and it is perhaps a bit too bright, oh well, live and learn. She has glitter on her wings and pearls on her dress, what more could a Faerie ask for right? The sentiment is by Whimsy stamps and I have added a little frantage to the edges of the image.

Batgirl Marci

Hi everyone! Well, it's Friday wootwoot! And today I am showing you my second card for the La-la land crafts Halloween release which is available for purchase now. Here is a photo of all of the new products.



Today I am showcasing Batgirl Marci along with some of the elements from the new Halloween Frames and Shapes Kit and the new Spiderweb corner die.

This is a little "dark" for me but hey, it's Halloween inspired right? I have embossed the oval frame with some marcasite embossing powder and used black stickles on the bats. The frame is just painted with black acrylic paint for some different textures.

Thanks for looking!

La-la Land Crafts Release

Hello everyone! I hope most of you are having some of the beautiful weather we have had here in my neck of the woods for the past week, it has been gorgeous. Trying to take it all in before the bad weather settles in.

Today we are showcasing the new Halloween release for La-la Land Crafts. There are several new images, dies and frames available and here is a peek of them. All images and products are available now.

I have colored up Cauldron Marci today and all of the links and my list of copics is at the end of the post.

I have made the pumpkins 3D by cutting out the image three times with the die, the first one I left whole, the second one I cut off the outer sections and the last one I cut out the center piece. Then I shaded them a bit and popped them up with some Pinflair glue although foam dots would also work. Papers are MME from Michaels and the little glitter dots are my new obsession, love them! Okay, tomorrow I have another card to show you so I would love to see you again!
