Having Avery Elle fun!

Happy Thursday everyone! Today I am sharing a card I made for the Avery Elle Challenge. The challenge is to make a project inspired by this picture below:

Here is the card that I created using Avery Elle's Oh, Baby! stamp set:

 

I decided to take the 'Thank You' flag stamps and attach the flags to toothpicks. To top off the pendants, I added a button and twine.

 

Thank you for stopping by! Have a pleasant day!

Visible Image Bookmark

Hello, everyone! So I had to go out-of-town for a few days and was able to pick up a book for the first time in a LONG time! As I took my first reading break, I realized that I didn't have a bookmark and had to bend the page (one of my pet-peeves)!

So Visible Image to the rescue! Who likes to curl up and ready a book while sipping a cup of hot coffee or for me hot chocolate!

Here is the bookmark I created using Visible Image's Tea for 2 stamp set:

The tag is created using a Spellbinder die cut. The background is created using Visible Image's Gingham background stamp. The cup is paper-pieced using patterned papers for Lily Bee Designs.
The sentiment is made using alpha letter stickers. A tassel is made out of a colorful twine.

There is still time to enter the Visible Image's Monthly Challenge. The theme is LOVE. Check out the details HERE.

Have a wonderful day!

Catching up with Prickley Pear

Today is catch-up day! I have a couple of cards to share with you that I  created with Prickley Pear stamps!

(sorry for the dark picture. I have a new camera and need to learn the settings!)

 

Here is a card using some of the newest stamps from Prickley Pear:

Please check out Prickley Pear for their latest stamp release! The possibilities are endless!

Raindrops are falling!

Hello, everyone! It's Jessi here from Kissin' Krafts! I don't know about you, but I love the rain! And here in Texas, the spring tends to be the only time we really get any rain!

 

Here is the card I created using gel-a-tins, Raindrops are Falling Stamp set:

 

I absolutely love paper-piecing with stamps! As soon as I saw the stamp with the woman and the umbrella, I knew that was what I was going to do!

I created the 'window' by using a circle diecut and cutting the circle out of the patterned paper. The sentiment is stamped onto a different diecut and added using foam dots. Colorful twine is wrapped around the card to add another pop of red to the card.

Thank you for stopping by! If it happens to be raining where you are, hope you stay dry and find some time to create!

It's my Visible Image Day!

Can you believe that it is Tuesday? (Feels like Monday, with the federal holiday yesterday!) Since it is Tuesday, that means I have another Visible Image creation to share with you today! Today I am sharing a card/invite that I made using the Movie Set from Visible Image.

Some may know that Sunday are the Oscars. A time to celebrate movies! As a film major in college, I always watched the award show. (However, times have changed! Having kiddos means less time watching movies!) But, any who...

Here is my card using the Movie Set stamp set:

**When I had this card in mind, I bought glitter gold letters to use from 'Oscars'. However, I think I left them in the plastic bag and threw them away. So I went with the white glitter letters.

I love the Movie Set stamp set! My favorite are the different size film strips! I am waiting for the perfect picture to make a scrapbook layout using the larger one.

This card is very simple to make.  The film strip is stamped on to the card. Using different letter stickers, I created the sentiment for the card.

To add alittle something extra to the card, I decided to emboss the clapperboard image with black embossing powder.

Happy Valentine's Day!

Valentine's Day is tomorrow! Do you have your cards made for your loved ones? Well, I am playing catch up today and finishing mine!

Here is one I made using Inspired by Stamping's Delicate Doilies:

 

I love the color combo in the current IBSIC (off-white, light brown and red).

 

I started off by punching out some hearts from kraft cardstock. I took one of the doilies from the Delicate Doilies and stamped the image over the hearts. The back layer is embossed with leaving the bottom of the layer smooth for the sentiment. I finished the layer with a lace ribbon.

 

Thank you for stopping by! I hope you all have a wonderful Valentine's Day!

LOVE is in the air!

Happy Monday, gel-a-tins fans! It's Jessi here from Kissin' Krafts! Can you feel the LOVE in the air? Valentine's Day is just around the corner! Are you ready for it?

Today I have a cute paper-piecing card to share with you:

 

 

Using the gel-a-tins, Love is in the air, and a variety of papers from Echo Park's This & That collection, I stamped the images on the patterned papers and hand-cut the images out. To include the birds' legs, I stamped the images on the cardstock and placed the paper pieces over the images. After the cut-outs were glued to the cardstock, I added the white cardstock onto a back layer of patterned paper. The final touch was the sentiment stamped onto a hand cutout cloud.

Thank you for stopping by today! Hope you have a wonderful day!

Trendy LOVE Decor

Hello, Trendy Twiners! It's Jessi here from Kissin' Krafts! I am excited to be sharing today's project with you! The project is made using this month's spotlight color, Cherry Cupcake!

Here it is (my first attempt to make 'canvas' art):

During one of my many visits to Pinterest, I came across an idea using embroidery thread on canvas. Click HERE to see the link that sparked the interest!

I bought some rope from Hobby Lobby, along with the canvas. And headed home to start the project. I soon found out that I did not have the right tools to complete the project as it was done in the link! So I had to modify my plans. I decided to wrap the rope with the Trendy Twine Cherry Cupcake twine.

 

I decided to complete each letter at a time and glued them one by one to the canvas.

 



I was surprised how quick this project went (once I figured it out)!

Don't you just love the pink and red color combo in  the Cherry Cupcake? If you love to create with those colors, please join our Monthly Challenge! Check out the details HERE!

Have a great day!

Prickley Pear Monday Inspiration

It's Monday! Design Team reveal day at Prickley Pear Rubber Stamps! I am excited (and nervous) to share this card with you today!

I am not a colorer! But I have given myself the goal for 2013 is to learn how to use markers on my projects. So today's project is the first card I attempted to do shade coloring with markers.

Here is the card:

 

I created this card using a variety of patterned papers and the Prickley Pear Baby Stamp. Using a variety of markers, I colored in the stamp and hand-cut the image out. I attached the image to the card and added the twine and balloons to complete the card.

STOP in the name of gel-a-tins!

Hooray, it is February! Who else LOVES this month? Can you smell the LOVE in the air? It's Jessi from Kissin' Krafts and today I am excited to show this card that I made using the gel-a-tins STOP gelly jr. stamp!

I have always enjoyed the red, pink and aqua color combo and decided that this was the perfect card to make using those colors!

The STOP gelly jr stamp is stamped in pink and hand-cut. Using a variety of stickers and chipboard, I created the rest of the "sentiment". To add to the card, I used different embossing folders to add to the back layer and pink strip. The final piece to add was the simple twine,even though it is some what messed up in the picture ;)!

It's all about Visible Image LOVE

Can you smell the LOVE in the air? Valentine's Day is around the corner!

 

Today starts a new challenge on the Visible Image blog. It is all about LOVE!

 

Here is my CAS card using the Visible Image Valentine's Day Set:

 

 

I love the color combo of red, kraft and white. I think the red just pops off the page!

 

I started off stamping a few of the hearts and cutting them out. The back white layer was dry embossed and attached to the kraft layer. I created a banner to stamp the sentiment on and adhered to the card. The hearts are attached with foam dots to add dimension to the card.

We cannot wait to see your LOVE creations! Please join our challenge HERE! You could win some fabulous stamps to play with!
