Your Next Stamp Sketch/Colour Challenge # 27 (Waddles Snow Fun)

Welcome to our sketch and colour challenge #26 at Your Next Stamp. Each challenge includes a sketch and colour options to inspire you.

Create a project based on the sketch and/or the colour combination. If you are working with the colours use at least 3 of the colours and you can add only neutrals.

I am still working away on a few Christmas cards for this year year. I never seem to have enough, so I find it safest to make a few more than I think I really need. For this week's challenge I used the sketch and Waddle Snow Fun. 

For the added sparkle to the Christmas baubles, I added the clear Wink of Stella over my coloured image. My image was cut out using the Stitched Rectangles die. 

On the inside of the card I stamped out another cute Waddles and used the sentiment from the Winter Home set.

For our sketch and colour challenge # 27 you have until November 26, 2015 (midnight) to play along. You can see more inspiration and link up your projects over at Your Next Stamp.

Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps November Release Blog Hop

Welcome to the KRAFTIN' KIMMIE STAMPS November release blog hop. Let's get comfy, grab your favourite drink and enjoy the hop.

This month has we've had a super sized hop that featured so many amazing stamps sets. We started off our release with the fun planner set called PERFECT PLANNER, followed by a second set by Becky Pearce for coffee lovers called ONE CUP AT A TIME. For those football fans you have in your life you will want to take a peek at the amazing #ALLSTAR set which features a football player and cheerleader. Any book lover out there? If so, you will love our next set called HAPPINESS IS READING. The next set was a cute set called OH CROP! which is great for cards, scrapbooking or to use in your planner. We wrapped up our preview week with a celebratory set perfect for a number of occasions called LET'S CELEBRATE!

I love coffee and coffee themed stamps, so of course I was eager to create another card using the ONE CUP AT A TIME set. To create this scene for my card I used masking paper. I started with my cup, stamping in on my colour paper and on the masking paper. Once masked, I repeated stamping the saucer in place on my colouring paper and then a second time on masking paper. Once my colouring image was masked for the cup and saucer, I then stamped the delicious macaroon.

Here is a look at the inside of the card. I love those coffee beans!

Supplies Used:
Stamp: One Cup at a Time (Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps)
Die: Circle and Stitched Circle Dies Your Next Stamp
Paper: Simple Stories We Are Family
Other: Simple Stories Enamel Dots (Sweater Weather)
