Kimberly's Crafty Spot: November 2016

A Hello from Him and Her featuring Pink and Main

Hi Everyone!
I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving full of turkey,
pie and lots of love!

Today I am sharing a project featuring
Pink and Main stamps.
I used the newly released Picture Perfect stamp set and coordinating dies, Mini Faces Set 2 and 3, Stitched Squares and Stitched Ovals.

I created two cards with each image, a boy and girl card, I made them after our son and daughter. I thought these would be fun for them to send out, maybe to their Grandma in California.

For the girl, I stamped and colored her with copic markers and die cut her with the coordinating dies. Next I die cut and embossed some pink patterned paper with the Stitched Oval dies and layered this on some coordinating patterned paper all added to a matching pool party card base. I added the sentiment to the girl's frame with black ink and some clear embossing powder. To finish the card, I added some rhinestones and a white bow.

For the boy, I stamped and colored him with copic markers as well, then die cut him with the coordinating dies. I stamped, colored, and fussy cut the hair again. I wanted the glasses to be behind his hair. So that's how I achieved that look. I stamped and heat embossed the sentiment from Hello Friend to his frame. Next, I die cut a white piece of card stock with the Stitched Rectangles die and then die cut a square out of that with the Stitched Squares die to look like a polaroid frame for him to sit behind on the card. I added some navy patterned paper to the card front then added my layers. The boy is popped up with one layer of dimensional foam tape and the frame has two layers. To finish the card and the sentiment, I die cut the Hello from the Hello dies in kraft card stock. I also added some glossy accents to his glasses.

Birthday Celebration for Janice

Hi Everyone!!

Today we are helping Lesley, the owner of Trendy Twine and Annie's Paper Boutique celebrate her mom, Janice's Birthday! The Trendy Twine Design Team and Guest designers have created cards using Trendy Twine to send to her for her special day!

Here is the card I created for Janice.

I made a floral shaker card for her. The flowers are from the Peonies stamp set by Avery Elle, I heat embossed the flowers and leave in white and fussy cut them out. Next, I heat embossed the vase in silver on a die cut circle and cut out the inside using my Penblade, then added some acetate to create the window for the shaker portion. I added some sequins and seed beads to the vase to look like water. Then I added some pool party cardstock to the background of the vase. I added the vase and flowers to a white card base that is layered with yellow patterned paper and vellum with hearts. I heat embossed in Gold the "Smile" sentiment from the Smile Stamp set (APB) on the vellum. Finally, I wrapped some Totally White Trendy Twine with a bow and some sparkling clear sequins to accent.

For the inside of the card, I added another peony in yellow and heat embossed the sentiment, again from the Smile stamp set (APB) in gold on a rectangle die cut panel.

Let's Hang Out!

Hi Everyone!!

I hope your week has been great, it's been busy around here and we had our first snow fall yesterday.

Today, I am sharing a few cards using the *Newly* released Sloths stamps and coordinating dies from Pink and Main stamps.

I kept the cards with a clean and simple design. Perfect to give to anyone and let the fun and sweet sloths be the star. First, I stamped and copic colored the sloths. Next, I used the coordinating dies, then I took (2) white panels of card stock cut 4.25 x 5.5 and embossed them. Then I stamped and heat embossed the sentiments in white on black cardstock. I adhered the layers to a white card base then popped up the cute sloths.

So the Trendy Twine design team and Guest Designers are sharing some cards we made to celebrate her special day!

Here is the card I made for her.

Happy Birthday Lesley!!

I used the Smile stamp set (APB) for the sentiment in the shaker balloon and on the grass, I stamped them and heat embossed in clear. I made the shaker balloon the cute girl from Lila's Heart stamp set (SSS) is holding by die cutting a heart in the panel and adding some acetate for the window. I added some heart sequins and seed beads to the inside, then added some Totally White Trendy Twine for the balloon string. The cute girl is colored with copic markers.

Gratitude Mini Envelope book featuring Trendy Twine and APB

Hi Everyone!

Today I am sharing a project featuring Trendy Twine
and Annie's Paper Boutique products.

This month the team will be featuring the
Mini Open End Orange envelopes.
For my project, I made a mini envelope gratitude book.

I started the main book by scoring each closed end of the envelopes (4 of them) at 1/2 in. then I adhered those together with a strong adhesive, punched two holes and added some Spiced Pumpkin Trendy Twine to the binding. To decorate the front, I stamped the sentiment from the Happy Thanksgiving stamp set on vellum and the heart from Drinks & More stamp set on kraft in versamark ink and heat set with Gold embossing powder. I layered coordinating card stock colors and die cut them with the Stitched Rounded Rectangles die (Pink and Main).

For each page, I folded the envelope flap back and adhered it open to create a small pocket for the tags. I made a small mat for each envelope page and stamped a small sentiment from several Annie's Paper Boutique stamp sets.

The front of each tag has a gold heat embossed sentiment that I thought would work perfect for the Gratitude part of the journal. These pages can hold a small photo or keepsake.

The other side of each tag is stamped with

the images from the Hello Fall stamp set.

I made sure to leave plenty of room for journaling.

Rocking Elf cards featuring Pink and Main stamps

Hi Everyone!

Today I am sharing a project featuring
Pink and Main stamps.

For my cards today, I used the Santa Mail stamp set, the *NEW* Santa Mail coordinating dies, Nested Hexagon dies, Nested Scalloped Hexagon dies and Stitched Rounded Rectangle dies. First, I copic colored and die cut the cute elf on the rocking horse then I added an action wobble to the back of the image. Next I die cut some patterned paper to layer behind the image as a base. The action wobble is just so fun and perfect for this image. Finally, I heat embossed the two sentiments in white on the cards and added some enamel dots and stickles to the cards.

(I attempted to get a picture of the elf in "action".)
