Kraftin' Kimmie's Saturday Challenge

Kraftin' Kimmie's Saturday Challenge

As you know, one of my favorite stamp companies, right now, is Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps! She runs challenges on her blog. I am entering this card in her Saturday Challenge which is Spring themed! I also used her card sketch as inspiration.

This cute little Spring Girl is from Treasure Box Designs (I am on the Design Team for this company). I colored her up with Copics & used some paper that I actually won in a Facebook contest a couple of years back. I think that it came together nicely & could be used for pretty much any occasion.

Enjoy!

Unicorns Exist!

Unicorns Exist!

So, this happened last week!

After 10+ years as a loyal & faithful Cricut user, I got a Silhouette Cameo 3 as a birthday present from my sweet hubby & daughter! I had kind of started thinking about getting one a few months ago. Then, I started telling my hubs about some of the cool things that Silhouette does that Cricut doesn't do, yet. He told me to order one for my birthday! Yay!! So, now, here sit with my two machines, side by side!

I'll tell you what, the software for the two machines is so completely different that I've been playing with my Sil every chance I get. The first two things I made (forgot to take pictures of them), were birthday cards for my aunt. For my third project, I thought I'd try out one of the features that drew me to Silhouette, PixScan & the ability to cut out around something!!

This cute little unicorn on the front of  this Unicorns Exist gift tag gift card holder is from Treasure Box Designs. You will soon be able to get it here. And, the gift tag gift card hold is from Jamie Cripps. I altered it by removing some of the design elements that were included. I think it's super cute! You can purchase it in the Silhouette Store or on digiplayground.com. (The one on Digiplayground is Snowflake instead of Love.) I colored her up using Copics & then made the tag with some fun paper that I bought several years ago.

Copics used:

Body - W7, 5, 3, 1

Nose, Ears, Heart - RV13, 21, 10

Mane - BV05, 01, 00

Horn - BV08, V17, 15

Hooves - G05, 14, YG03

ENJOY!!

Buddy Bears

Buddy Bears

Hi, ya! Remember that adorable "Just Chill" card from a few weeks back? Well, this little buddy bear is from the same set! Is he not the cutest?!

Again, I used retired papers from Close To My Heart. I thought the blues & browns were great colors! I kept the inside simple on this one.

This one is also colored with Copic Markers. I think over the summer, my 13 year old daughter & I are going to take the Colored Pencil class over at Kit and Clowder. I have a good collection of high-quality PrismaColor colored pencils that I'm anxious to use!

Anyway, here's the colors I used for this card:

Bear~E37, E35, E33, E31

Belly, Snout, & Paws~B97, B95, B91

Bow & Patch~B18, B45, B23

Ears & Nose~R22, R21, R20

Wagon~R59, E08, E35; 100, C7, C5; BV29, BV25, BV23

ENJOY!
