Hello, Butterfly!

Happy Tuesday everyone! It is Jessi from Kissin' Krafts! I cannot wait to share my latest Butterfly Reflections, Ink project with you!

One of the things I love about Butterfly Reflections, Ink, is their selection of 6x6 paper pads! I am truly addicted and there is always something I am craving in the store!

I am a fan of pretty much all the American Crafts companies (American Crafts, Pebbles, Studio Calico, Crate Papers, etc). I LOVE the fact that you can combine pieces from collections by the different companies. In the project below, the paper is Crate Paper and the woven ribbon and butterfly die are from Studio Calico! And look...they match PERFECTLY!!!

I love using wooden veneers on my projects! There are so many things you can do with them! I decided to color the front to match the papers. Once the markers dried, I stamped a simple sentiment with brown ink.

You can easily add texture to the simplest of cards bu using a variety of materials. The mixture of the ribbon, twine and wood add so much to this card!

Here is a quick look of the supplies used for this card:

 

Supplies from Butterfly Reflections, Ink:

Crate Paper - Acorn Avenue 6x6 Paper

Studio Calico - Wooden Veneers Banners and Lemon Lush Ephemera Die Cuts

What a day! I was kid-free for a few hours and was able to make 5 cards! Yippee! That was fun! Some are for future DT assignments and some were just for fun! 

I could not wait to share this one using Unity Stamps and of course, some amazing Trendy Twine!

I have been sitting on these stamps for a few months now and finally was able to get inky with them! (Hooray, for school being back in session!!!)

So, I now that my coloring skills are not at expert levels, but I am excited to try more and more things with my Spectrum Noir markers! This fun rainy-day scene from Unity's Just Be You stamp set, was so much fun to color! I paired the scene with a simple sentiment from Unity's Remember Happiness stamp set.  To help bring out the awesome colors, I paired the card up with some fun Trendy Twine colors (Cranberry, Orangesicle, and Lemon Tart)!

I am excited to be playing along with the Unity's Friends with Flair Fridays! I have been eyeing it for a few weeks now!

And since I am focusing on Unity stamps and Trendy Twine on this post, I would like to share the card I made earlier this week for a Trendy Twine post, HERE!

This fun and colorful card is using Trendy Twine's newest color, Cherry Lemonade, and Unity's Learning Year by Year stamp set.

Hope you have a fun and relaxing weekend ahead! See you around next week!

gel-a-tins Beary Love

Hello, gel-a-tins friends! It's Jessi here from Kissin' Krafts! 

Today I am sharing a card I made using the gel-a-tins Honey Bear stamp set! 

This card uses the Masking technique used to make it look like one stamped image is in front of another!

The first bear image is stamped onto the card. One more bear image is stamped on a spare piece of cardstock and cut out. The cut -out image is placed over the one stamped on the card. I used the Love You stamp from the Honey Bear set to form the background. The sentiment is stamped in a darker color to stand out.  The heart is from gel-a-tins Gingerbread House stamp set. The last step was my attempt at shade coloring with Spectrum Noir. I am still learning :)

Thank you for stopping by today!  We hope that you will stop by gel-a-tins FACEBOOK page and our PINTEREST page!

Day of Challenges Part #2

Today I have been able to play with a couple of challenges! This card was made with the current Little Tangles Challenge in mind... Embellishments...why not sequins!

Here is my card using Neat and Tangled's Kindness Matters and My Heart Sings stamp sets

I love the aqua and pink color combo, so I decided to keep it simple and color in the bird with those colors. The sentiment (from Kindness Matters) is highlighted on a fancy diecut. To finish off the card, ribbon is added towards the bottom of the card and sequins were added randomly on the card.

Thank you for stopping by today! Stop by and check out Neat and Tangled Stamps and they're challenge blog, Little Tangles.

Hope you have a wonderful holiday weekend! What are you doing? Cooking out? Going to the beach? Me...I'm painting! See you in a few days! Stay safe!
