Winter Bird

It is time for another Simply Sunday Challenge over at Getting Cricky and this time we are using the theme "let it snow" and the project must include embossing. So for this challenge I have make the winter bird on the Cricut cartridge 3 Birds on Parade.

I used the snowflakes Cuttlebug embossing folder for the background that I swiped very lightly with white ink, just enough to highlight the embossing. The flower border punch is martha stewart. The clouds have 2 layers so they really pop up from the card, and the stamp set is fro K Anderw Design  Splashtastic Summer stamp set.

This is my very first video Enjoy!!

So come and try this challenge with us, you have until

Coffee & Tea for You & Me

Welcome to a week of Pre-Hop projects!!

This week the Getting Cricky Design Team that I am very lucky to be a part of, is having a pre-hop week before our Blog Hop on Friday the 20th January!!

We were asked to use a set of stamps to showcase this particular stamp set. I am using the wonderful Coffee & Tea for You & Me  and the Coffee and Tea Time image set  and Coffee & Tea Treats Tag-Along Sentiments. These sets are a must for all Coffee and Tea lovers out there and they are just so versatile with all the sentiments you can make with this set!!

So on to the first card of the week, for this card I used the Cricut cartridge Love You a Latte.

The papers are from the Kaisercraft 6" paper pad Lilac Avenue Collection. I inked all the edges with the Tim Holtz antique linen distress ink. Then I stamped the sentiment with K Andrew Designs stamp set Coffee & Tea for You & Me using adirondack "ginger" ink pad.  The sentiment "the perfect blend" is joined together, so I masked the world as I stamped with some tape so I was then able to use them under each other, making a coffee label!

So please return each day this week as I take you through some wonderful ways to use the Coffee & Tea Stamp Sets. Please check out these stamp sets and many others at K Andrew Designs.

Celebration Time

Welcome all to the Simply Sunday Challenge at Getting Cricky.

In case you didn’t know, each stamp set benefits charity. At least $1 per stamp set goes to help the charity noted on the stamp set package. Currently Kristal supports the following charities: Cancer Angels, Storefront Shelter for Homeless Children, Intrepid & Fallen Heroes, E. Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation, Doorways Shelter for Women & Children (Domestic Violence), Wayside House for Women, Camp Good Days & Special Times, Adopt a Classroom, and Autism Research Institute. In addition, Kristal personally donates $1 from each set sold and over time believes this will add up to some wonderful miracles for these special people. You can feel good knowing that each time you purchase a K Andrew Designs Art stamp set, someone around the country is receiving some good help!

K Andrew Designs Art Stamps also stimulate the broken and wounded economy because they are all made and assembled in the USA! This is hugely important to Kristal and ensures not only that product materials are safe, but that jobs are being provided and maintained in America. Learn more about these stamps by visiting K Andrew Designs.

On to todays challenge.. it is "Its A Celebration". So I decided to make a generic celebration card that could be used for anything like a graduation, new job, or a birthday card. It just celebrates you!!

For this card I have used 3 K Andrew Designs stamp sets

Positive Thoughts

Hooty Owls

Hoot-a-Accessories

The stamp sets are Positive Thoughts, Hooty Owls & Hoot-a-accessories these are all available from K Andrew Designs Art Stamps. These are wonderful stamps that stamp very clearly. you can see I was able to make a "scene" from these stamps that look like it was one stamp. I have had lots of fun working on lots of different combinations.

For the background I used the Couture creations "Drink Me" embossing folder, the border punch is a very old one that I really have no idea what it is called, the ribbon is from craftworks at my local bargain shop.

Now it's your turn, head over to Getting Cricky to join this challenge..Enjoy!!

So Happy News Year.....Celebrate!!

Have a Crafty Day, Cheers Jennie

Today I have created this layout using the cricut cartridges Christmas, From My Kitchen & Storybook.

This was a wonderful day, so I wanted to keep it simple so the photos were the main focus. The papers and journal tags are from Kaisercrafts christmas range from last year "carnival".  I used the following cuts, the marquee shape is from Storybook cut in half. I then used half on each side of the double page spread. The cricut "Gingerbread" are from From My Kitchen, and the "Happy Christmas" & "Train" are from Christmas.

The sentiment that I used for this is using two stamp sets from

Today I have created this card using the cricut cartridge Love you A Latte. This cartridge is wonderful for all the coffee lovers like myself!!

The bottom layer is from Kaisercraft Gypsy Sisters 6" paper pad, then I have embossed the next layer using Couture creations embossing folder "Drifting Endless". I gave this a light sand to expose a little of the white underneath.

I have then punched the lace border using a fiskars punch. The red ribbon is from the craft store Spotlight. 

The Sentiment is  K Andrew Design stamp sets Coffee & Tea for You & Me and Sweet Wishes 

You can't really see in the photo but I have used a glitter marker over the sentiment and it gives it a touch of sparkle. I then used Kindyglitz for the cream to finish it off!! 

Check out all of  Kristal's stamps HERE!! They are really beautiful and lovely to stamp with!!
