I'm back again this week to showcase more products from the  Kindred Stamps  November release. I have made four festive card projects with the Merry Whatever stamp set. I have provided a copic coloring guide for the characters in this stamp set at the end of this blog post. First Project This first project might be my favorite for the entire release! I made this card a light up card with the Pear Blossom Press Power Pack  and a green light from the Chibitronics Tropical Lights Pack to compliment the "you warm my heart" sentiment.  I used the Lawn Fawn Push Here stamp set to create the "press me" button. To make the card background I used the Kindred Stamps Forest Stencil and the Gina K Designs You Warm My Heart stamp set. Second Project I used the brand new Kindred Stamps Snowfall Stencil and the Disco Fever glitter gloss to create the second card background. I used silver embossing power to heat emboss the sentiment. I distressed the edges of the c

It's release week for  Kindred Stamps  and I am so excited to share what I made with the Born to Be Brave stamp set. I made 4 card projects with awesome images and sentiments on this set. Kindred Stamps also released a coordinating paper pack which can be purchased here . First Project For my first project I made a pull-tab top-folding card in which the helicopter flies up and reveals the sentiment. I stamped the first part of the sentiment in a charcoal gray and the word "brave" in new england ivy green. I used the MFT clouds stencil and broken glass distress oxide ink blending to make the card background.  On the inside of the card I created the same sky-themed background but I put an army airborne soldier on the inside. Below the fold I stamped the "Thank you for your service" sentiment.  Second Project For the second card I made a simple army tank card. I used the tank stamp to create the background on plain green cardstock and to create th

Today I attended my very first Art Impressions, Inc. Warehouse Sale. It was so much fun! I am a huge fan of their products and today I added a whole lot more of their stamps to my personal stash. The event was 3 hours away from where I live but well worth the drive! First of all if you RSVP'd online before the event you received a free stamp and die set! I received the Critter Cup Valentine/Easter Set as my freebie. Secondly, if you were within the first 50 guests to arrive you received a free gift certificate ranging from $5 - $50; which added a nice little cushion to my spending budget. Last, all items were 30 percent off! What a great deal!!! More information on the warehouse sale can be found here . On top of the great savings they also offered a variety of crafting classes and free make-n-take projects. I signed up for the  The Great Outdoors Watercolor class and it was wonderful! I was so afraid to try something completely new but I am so glad that I did because I lear

Really stepped up my game for Day 11 of of Kathy Rac's  30 Day Coloring Challenge . I made a handful of cards featuring the National Gingerbread Day stamp set from  Kindred Stamps . I used my Copic Sketch alcohol markers to color these sweet geeky images. I used  Memento Tuxedo Black ink  and   X-Press It blending cardstock  to stamp out these images. At the bottom of this blog post I listed the copics I used to color these images. For the holiday background designs I used the Nordic Winter stamp set from Gina K. Designs  on kraft cardstock with a Nutmeg ink pad. I also created single layer cards with these stamps. It was super easy to make multiples of these cards. I love the simplicity of these designs. I put the sentiments on the inside of these cards.    Thank you for taking the time to stop by my blog.
