7 Kids Crafts: Bundled Buddies

Hello Crafty Friends

Happy Veterans Day! Today!

I wanted to share a card using this cute clear stamp set called Bundled Buddies by Penny Black. Many of the Penny Black are so cute but I especially love working with the images drawn by Mo Manning. This stamp can be used as a Christmas card but also as a Autumn/Fall or a Winter card.
Time I put this bundle cutie in an autumn colors setting using the Hello Bluebird - Winter Woods Overlay die and I copic colored in some lines to make them look like birch trees. The leaves are left over from my previous project and that die is also from Hello Bluebird - Oak Tree Scene Die which I colored with ColorCraft Brusho powder pigments.

I really enjoyed creating this autumn scene and I hope that you get a chance to grab these from the 7 Kids Crafts store and have some play time as well.

The background was created with Distress Oxides

and the front overlay I colored with Copic markers.

LMMS: This Little Light of Mine

Hello Crafty Friends,

I've been working on some Christmas cards... crossing my fingers that I don't run out this time. This is a simple card I created with Jr. Hatter Kit with the new Jr. Hatter Add-on Faces Set A (Digital.) I'm really loving all of the new faces to customize them all. To decorate the bottom portion of the card I used an accessory of Christmas string lights from the Holiday Truck set.

 Jr. Hatter Kit 

Jr. Hatter Add-on Faces Set A (Digital) 

Holiday Truck

I colored her up with Polychromos color pencils:
Skin: Ivory, Walnut Brown, Burnt Sienna, Indian Red and Medium Flesh
Outfit: Alizarin Crimson, Middle Cadmium Red, Dark Red, Caput Mortuum
Hair: Black, Cold Grey VI, Cold Grey III and White
For the lights:
Alizarin Crimson, Dark Cadmium Yellow, Cobalt Turquoise,
Dark Cadmium Orange, Crimson and Emerald Green +
Olive Green Yellowish for the light wire sockets.
For the lights of the eyes I used a Uni-Ball Sign Pen Angelic White.
For the background Distress Ink: Mowed Lawn
The rectangle die is from My Creative Time.
The sentiment is a clear stamp from Some Odd Girl.

I hope you liked my simple card and don't forget

Latte Birthday Wishes

Hello Everyone!

I'm latte! I'm latte! I'm latte for a very important date.... LOL  Today I have a coffee themed birthday card for you... it's a little belated birthday card. I'm thinking I need to make more of these (when I get time) with different skin tones and different hair colors and just have them ready for when I forget a birthday or just cause I'm busy. ha! I found this coffee themed 12x12 paper at Michael's and I had a few coffee cards for friends and teachers in mind but I love how clean and simple this one looks.

I colored her up with Copic markers

some of the colors I used are:

BV000, E55, E53, E51, E50 E21, R21, R20 and R30

for the clothing G07, G46 and G94 also N6, N4 and N2

The dotted circle die is from My Creative Time 

as well at the new sentiment.  To make the black outer layer 

I just traced around the die and cut with scissors.

the design coffee paper is from Recollections (found at Michaels)

and the base cardstock are from Michael's as well only the black

cardstock is the 110 lb paper I love to use for bases and the

white is 65 lb I like to use for simple layering. 

I was going to go for an otter bounds image and circle so I had cut out the face

and the latte/coffee but the head ended fitting inside the circle because

I didn't align it right LOL    so the only thing that is outer bounds is the 

latte/coffee but it ends out working out because the person receiving it doesn't

wear skirts or dresses and now it just looks like a trench coat which she does wear

sometimes. LOL   

Anyway, I hope you liked my card.

Have a wonderful day.

Wintertime is Golden

Hi Everyone!

Today I'm just showing you a card I made to give out for Christmas. She is an image drawn by Elaine Cox I had found at Sweet Pea Stamps... that company is no longer and I may have to look for Elaine Cox's page to see if I can but more of her images. This one is called Moon of Wintertime.

I colored her with Copic markers.

A gold Sakura Gelly Roll for some shimmer, Copic Atyou clear for the snowflakes.

The 6x6 paper is from Craft Smith and it's called Holiday Foil...

I found that at Michael's and I almost put it back- it's fabulous with dies as you can see.

The Poinsettia I made a long time ago with my Cricut.

The layering die is from My Creative Time

The "Merry Christmas" dies are from Paper Smooches

called Christmas Words.

Here here it is from the side so you can see it's a gold foil cardstock

Hope you liked my card.

Thanks for stopping by,

A Simple Merry Christmas

Hi Everyone!

I know it can get a little hectic around the holiday season but crafting doesn't always have to be.... I made this CAS (Clean and Simple) card for my daughter's principal to wish her a Merry Christmas and to thank her for her excellent work at the school.

The rubber stamp is from The Greeting Farm's 

Secret Santa Set.

She's too cute but really all of them are. 

I colored her up with Copic markers.

The card layers dies are from My Creative Time. 

The white card base heavy cardstock is from Recollections

a Michael's brand.

Since the card is simple I tried to give it a little shimmer

with Wink of Stella Glitter pens on the bow and on the 

cuts on the from and inside of the card which read

Merry Christmas.

Thanks for looking.

Baby Blue Winter Wonderland

Hi Everyone!

 I hope everyone is enjoying the season whether you're at home or in the work place.

As for me, I'm at home all day with the kids. LOL    It has been cold and raining... 

a big big change for us in California. I hadn't posted because all of last week.. well not 

every single day but for a nice amount of days our kids had to 

rehearse for a play and to sing at our church.

Okay on to my card. It's sort of a re-do using:

Audrina

Audrina as an ice skater!

Audrina is just flowing with motion on her new skates! She is just skating to say hello

or whatever sweet message you want her to say. :)

for my previous card using Adrian I colored her in brown and gold tones.

Check out that card here:

http://www.kattyxotica.blogspot.com/2015/11/audrina-skating-by-with-nov-release.html

With this one I used a lot less glitter... actually it was embossing glitter so none of it flakes off.

Okay here is the card... in my Winter Wonderland theme.

I used Copic markers to color her up

Salty Ocean mini Distress Ink for the trees on the back

then I used Whispers Clear Glitter embossing on top of some of the trees.

The hill die is from Avery Elle Elle-ments it's called Dotted Border Die.

The bottom portion I used Copic markers again to give it an frozen ice

for skating then I used Versamark pad to use the Martha Stewart's

Sterling embossing Powder for the sentiment at the bottom.

Here you can see the sparkle from my Sakura Gelly Roll it's a soft blue

and it's from the Stardust collection. You can also see the sterling silver embossing :)

For more inspiration using this cutie you can check out

A Cheerful Christmas with Brooke Panda

Hi Everyone!

Hope you are all enjoying the season even if it's cold and wet... and for those that are enjoying nice warm or hot days I'm so not talking to you. LOL   Juuuuuust kidding... just a little bit jelous :P


I intend to do at least one card a day but I think I'm getting a bit in over my head... yesterday I didn't get to be on my computer too long. When I got back home with the kids we ate, did some homework and I was too sleepy to do anything crafty plus I was freeeezin.'

Okay on to my card- I used:

Brooke Panda

I used the super cute Doodlebug Design 

6x6 paper pad called Sugarplums. 

I colored Brooke Panda with my Prismacolor Pencils

sorry guys I didn't keep note of all of my colors this time 

because I was working on and off with this one.

I did the "no lines coloring" again

which simply just means that you stamp or print it with a very light color.

This way I was able to color in the iris. Besides adding a nose

the lines weren't changed and are not supposed to.

You can click on this link and you can see

Brooke Panda with regular stamping and with Copics instead of pencils:

http://www.kattyxotica.blogspot.com/2015/11/brooke-panda-nov-release-day-1.html

Here is a close-up. 

I hope you like her. I loved coloring here even thought I had to 

stop so many times in between.

Here is my completed card using Audrina

OMG! I used way more glitter than I'm used to and I still have glitter in different spots of my desk and floor but I love the way my card came out. I might have to make a video and show you all just how glittery and shimmer it is sometime in the near future. I colored Audrina with Copic
markers, Copic Spica glitter pens and Sakura Gelly Rolls.
The background is a combination of embossing powders and loose glitter.
As you can see it's pretty much a two-tone card. I used mostly Earth (E's) and Yellow (Y's)
Copic markers to give a warm golden look
BUT I did use a tad bit of R20 and R30 for rosey cheeks, tongue and nose.
The trees in the background are from
Whimsy Stamps called Christmas Scene Builder
I hope you like my golden winter wonderland card using
the super cute stamp.
