Babbette

Kraftin' Kimmie has some cute hottie tottie stamps. I love the "sassy-ness" of them!

 

This stamp is called Babette.  She is embossed on watercolor paper and colored with Twinkling H2Os.  The shape is cut with my Cricut using one of PDC Shaplies.  Card base is SU Basic Black.  The red is SU Riding Hood Red.  DP is DCWV Mariposa Stack.  Ribbon is SU Basic Black Satin.  Brads are also from SU.   

The butterfly is cut from the same paper stack and covered with Stickles.  The sentiment is also Kraftin' Kimmie.

Gracias for hanging out with me!

My Favorite Color

My boys and my kindergarteners will be able to tell you that my favorite color is green. Even as a little girl my favorite color was always green. Nothing in my house, though, is green. I have red walls. Brick red. Not all the walls. The contrasting walls are a light brown. So as an adult, I now have a new favorite color in addition to green... I never thought about it until the challenge on the Raise the Bar blog - Challenge #15 Color Me Happy - use your favorite color on a card.

I like this Vivienne stamp by Kraftin' Kimmie. She is so sassy. I used this stamp on a previous post. So I was able to fit both of my favorite colors on this card. At first I didn't know if I liked it, but I really did after I colored her and added the flowers. (The flowers were added for Our Creative Corner challenge blog - which is to use blossoms. I would've used red half pearls with the green but I didn't have any.

The base is SU Riding Hood Red. The DP is from DCWV Mariposa Stack. I cut the shape with my cricut using a nesting template from Penny Duncan Creations. The flowers are primas. Vivienne was embossed on watercolor paper and colored with Twinkling H2Os. The spacers and half pearls are from Stamp and Create. The brad is from my stash.

The next picture is the inside:

The butterfly is cut from the same DP and I added some stickles. (The blur is what I wrote. It is a birthday card for my friend in Washington.)

Thanks for looking!

Vivienne

I can't believe how awesome this world of card creating is. I have stumbled upon some really cool blogs of some really awesome talented people. It's addicting! I haven't figured out if it's a good thing or a bad thing. I have found myself browsing through blogs and being completely surprised by an hour passing easily.



Anyway, I stumbled upon the blog Stamping by Sam. She is so creative. I can't believe how many challenges she does with just one card. Crazy! I clicked on a few challenge links of hers and came across All Sorts Challenge Blog and 365 Cards (which had a link to Practical Scrappers).



The All Sorts Challenge 47 is using "Petals and Pearls". The Practical Scrappers Challenge is using "Glitter and Bling". I fulfilled both challenges without even knowing it! Awesome when things work out that way!



The stamp on this card is Vivienne from Kraftin' Kimmie which I bought at Stamp and Create. I think she is so cute! I made this card for my friend's birthday. I made another one with Vivienne which I will post another day.

Vivienne is embossed on watercolor paper and colored with Twinkling H2Os. I cut the shapes out with my Cricut. It is a nesting file I got from Penny Duncan Creations. The card base is SU Basic Black. The pink cardstock is PTI Raspberry Fizz stamped with a flower from SU Merci Stamp set. The DP is from DCWV Flower Shower Spring Stack. I really like the DP. It comes with the glitter already on it. The flowers are Prima. The black brads on the flower I bought a long time ago from Taylored Expressions. The spacers on the flower and the half pearls I bought from Stamp and Create.
