Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps - Somebunny Loves Your (Use Purple Challenge)

Hello krafty friends and welcome to another fun Saturday challenge for Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps. This week our challenge these is to use PURPLE!

Grab your stamps (all are welcome) and create a NEW card, layout or other paper craft item that matches this week's theme. You can share it with us on the Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps blog or over in the Krafty Friends Facebook group. You have all week to play along with this week's challenge and there is a chance to win a Krafty gift card to buy some goodies in the KKS shop.

This week I used Lucas from Somebunny Loves You set to create a fun and simple Easter card. I love purple, but don't seem to use it often. Since I was lacking the purple paper in my paper stash I decided to keep the card CAS and a little messy.

The background was fun and easy to create. I used two of the purples in my water colour paint and splattered it on the background. Simple!

Here is a look at the inside of the card.

Now it's time for you to get Krafty and join our challenge. You will have until February 26th (11:55 EST) to play along.

Your Next Stamp March DT Dare / Little Red Wagon (Cute)

Wow, it sure has been a busy couple of crafty weeks for me. Last week we had our March release for Your Next Stamp. Did you enjoy all the fun new stamps and dies? I just love the new ADORKABLE stamp, and all of the SPRINKLES stamps are super sweet.

Today, I am starting the day off multi-tasking, with a card for the Your Next Stamp DT dare and this week's Little Red Wagon Challenge.

DT Dare:
This month our challenge for the dare was to use stripes or polka dots. I decided to cover the DARE off fully and went with both.

Little Red Wagon:
This week Jan is hosting at Little Red Wagon and her challenge is called CUTE, CUTE, CUTE. Well that I can do for sure. I think this sweet YNS image will fit the cute category really well.

For my egg-stra CUTE card, I used the SPRINKLES HAPPY EASTER stamp from Your Next Stamp. The sweet image is showcased using the Journal Card Scallop Insert Die also from YNS.

The fabulous dots and stripes are found in the new Echo Park Bundle of Joy 6x6 paper pad.

On the inside of my card, I added a few of the fun sentiments and the second stamp image from this CUTE set.

Head over to the Your Next Stamp blog and check out the DT DARE post for this month. Comment on the post for a chance to WIN a prize. You will also see more amazing creations from my fellow YNS DT girls.

Your Next Stamp - February Special Feature

Welcome to the February YOUR NEXT STAMP feature post. Each month the design team posts creations to inspire you, using specific themes or stamps. This month our we are thinking SPRING! You can see all of the feature projects over at the YNS blog.

If you are facing the -35 degree C weather like me, spring is likely something you are longing for at the moment. I am hoping the more bright and cheerful cards I make the faster this snow will go away. One can hope and dream right?

I created an Easter card using an new stamp called LITTLE DARLING KATLYN. I also used the sweet Chocolate Gumdrops and paper from Doodle bug designs called Hello Sunshine.

On Katyln's bunny ears I used my Zig two way glue pen to apply white sparkling fluff.

Here is a look at the inside of the card.

Your Next Stamp - Fun Friday Challenge # 11 (Week 4)

It's almost the end of April and that means I am nearing the end of my guest design spot with Your Next Stamp. I have had such a wonderful time working with so many great people.

Today I am sharing another card for the monthly Fun Friday Challenge over at the YNS challenge blog. This week I worked with the inspirational photo. I focused on the eggs, bright colours and of course Easter theme.

Using Bunny Ellie I created a fun Easter centre step card. To complete my scene I added a few YNS dies which included the Puffy Clouds and Fence dies.

Here is a side view of the step card. The grass and ovals were cut from my Cricut. I decorated the inside with additional eggs and fence die cuts. The paper is Lawn Fawn "Hello Sunshine".

Ellie is coloured with Copic Markers. For a bit of texture I added Glossy Accents to the eggs and a bit of white flocking to Ellie's bunny ears. Ellie's shirt is paper pieced.

There is still time to play along with this month's Fun Friday Challenge. Don't forget to check out the wonderful creations by the DT. Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

Little Red Wagon # 233 - Easter Parade

Hey everyone it's time for another fun challenge over at Little Red Wagon.

This week Jayne is setting the challenge and since it's almost time for Easter, she would like to see us create a project with an Easter theme.

Easter is not a holiday I normally create cards for. I really don't know why. I love the holiday, the spring colours, chocolate, cute bunnies, chocolate, beautifully decorated eggs and of course the chocolate.

I used an adorable digital stamp from Your Next Stamp (by Omnia Design) called Chirpy. I used a combination of Echo Park (Sweet Girl) and Lawn Fawn (Hello Sunshine) papers and sparkly blue Gumdrop (Your Next Stamp). The sentiment is from the TiddlyInks For the Birds acrylic stamp set.

Here is a close up of cute Chirpy. For the dots on the egg I added Glitter Ritz powder for a bit of shimmer.

Here is a look at the inside of the card.

So hop, hop, hop over to Little Red Wagon and join our Easter Parade this week. Link up your Easter creations and don't forget to sneak a peek at each of the Girlfriends projects. There is a lot of inspiration to be found.

Have a wonderful Wednesday and happy crafting.
