Monday evening!! It's a jungle out there!!

Good evening all, I actually did start this post with 'Good Morning', but something came up before I got past the first two words and now it's evening. Life has a way of doing that, doesn't it?

Anyway, I did say I'd be back with some more of the Kraftin' Kimmie's New Release Stamps, so here I am. The card I am posting today is one of the Crissy's Cuties Collection and they are the last ones Crissy drew for us before she moved on. I just love all her images and I especially love the cute animals she creates. This one is called 'Cheeky Monkey' and I think he is just adorable. And if you think he's cute, you should check out Kraftin' Kimmie's Stamp Shop and see the other ones she made for this release. She has done gorgeous piggies, froggies, a bulldog and a fabulous baby zebra. Since Kimmie released 16 images this month, I have not had time to play with the others yet, but I know they will be great fun to colour!!

Well, back to the card. This one was pretty simple as I found this patterned paper in my Paper Studio Day at the Beach pack. I thought it was perfect and didn't need a whole lot of covering up with embellishments. I coloured the monkey using my Copics, punched it out using my Square Nesties, matted it onto Kiwi Kiss, then onto black. I pop dotted the layers onto the DP, which I matted onto Pumpkin Pie, then onto a card base of black. I just added the sentiment 'It's a Jungle out there, cut out with my small tag punch, then glued it to a black tag made with my large tag punch. I put a black eyelet in the top, then thread it through some black cord and that's all.

I will be back with another of the new images tomorrow, I hope. Unless life gets in the way again!! Have a great evening,

Blessings,

Diana

Day 2 of January Krafty Peeks!!

Well, it's day 2 of the Sneaky Peeks for Kraftin' Kimmie's January Release. Today we are showcasing Steven Leary's images. They are all so cute!!

For my first card, I used Baby Bubble Bath. I found some Lime Rickey papers that I thought would work because of the ducky in the image. I'm not sure if any of the birds on the paper are ducks, but let's pretend anyway. For my card base, I used Wild Wasabi. I layered an orange piece of the Lime Ricky to mat my birdie layer on, put another design from the same papers down the right side, matting it onto some Pumpkin Pie cardstock. For my image, I used my Copics and I put some Stardust Stickles on the bubbles, which you probably can't see in the picture. I matted the image onto some Daffodil Delight cardstock, then popped it up. The sentiment is one from Kraftin' Kimmie's Mermaid Sentiments. I used the Daffodil Delight for it and backed it onto a piece of Pumpkin Pie punched out with my Oval Punch. Again, you can't see it, but I coated some half pearls with Stardust Stickles to match the bubbles.

For my second card, I used Special Delivery, another of Steven's new release images. This is perfect as I need a card for the upcoming arrival of a baby boy. I coloured the image with my faithful Copics, cut it out using one of my Labels Nesties and used some Nana's Nursery Baby Boy papers to mat it onto using the next larger size of Nesties. I popped it up on some more of the N. Nursery papers, then matted it onto some Morning Marigold cardstock, which was glued onto a card base of Baja Breeze. I added the sentiment 'Happy New Baby', which comes with another of the new Steven Leary images. I stamped it on a blue piece of the N. Nursery papers, added 3 pale green button brads, then tied some Baja Breeze ribbon vertically next to the buttons.

Well, that's me for today. Tomorrow I'll be back along with the rest of the Krafty Girls to show you some of Annie's gorgeous designs. They are all so beautiful and great fun to colour. Then on Sunday, we hope you will all check in to see the last lot of cards and also to take part in our fun Krafty Hop. Some lucky ladies will win some of the new release of stamps. That can't be bad, can it?
