Hello again.  It’s time for another challenge with Kraftin Kimmie!   This week I’m your Hostess with the Mostess and I have challenged everyone to use scallops on their card or project.  Easy enough?  I think so.  🙂

You’re Nifty!

This week I chose to use Judy.   My sentiment is one that actually comes with Fanny.  All of the 50’s- themed sentiments are perfectly interchangeable, I think.  🙂

I die-cut two strips of scallops and placed each on the sides of the red lined panel.

(Oh, wow. I didn’t mean to make this pic THAT big. lol.  Don’t look too closely.)  I colored Judy with Copics, and over the sentiment I used another Karen Foster Charm Pin Up brad.   (I’ve yet to use one as intended.)

Be sure to check out the other Krafty Girl samples HERE.  If you’d like to play along, don’t forget to link your card to the Krafty Blog for your chance to win a free Judy stamp from Kraftin Kimmie!

Hi everyone!  I’m back with another preview from My Favorite Things!  Today the team is sharing samples of Clearly Sentimental about Parenting and Say What? Die-namic Duo (stamp and die combo).

I chose to use the new Say What?set with coordinating speech bubble Die-namics die.  This is seriously another FUN set!  Two sizes of bubbles, lots of little phrases (some a bit snarky) and more.  A definite ‘must have’.

I die-cut two bubbles using the same size die, then layered, offsetting the bottom bubble to add definition and shadow.  I covered little chipboard houses with patterned paper, sanded the edges and added a bit of  stitching. 

                      

The tree top was cut using MFT’s Cloud Trio Die-namics.

On the inside, I layered a second bubble and sentiment, traced a larger chipboard house onto patterned paper, sanded, stitched and added another “tree.”
