Chocolate Kisses

Hi all today I am showing you a card I have made using the gorgeous digi image 'Chocolate Kisses' which can be found HERE
I have coloured him with Copics and added a stamped sentiment, the papers are Basic Grey, I have also added some shiny red card candy, gingham ribbon, flowers and a red heart punched out using my SU punch.
We are very near the Valentine celebrations but cards of love are perfect for an everyday card.
Hugs to all Lorraine DT

You're Huggable!

Hello crafty friends!  Today I'm showing you a card I made with an adorable image from QKR Stampede.  I stamped this cute little guy onto white card stock and colored him with watercolor pencils, then did a bit of fussy cutting around him. 
I used a heart shaped doily and adhered it to the card with tape runner, then cut the extra away.  I stamped "You're Huggable" onto the doily, this is another QKR Stampede image.  I then used foam tape to add the image to the card.  I used a white gel pen for the dots and dashes around the edge of the card. 
Here is a close up picture of this cute little guy's belly and ears.  It looks like Flower Soft doesn't it?  Well, it isn't. I simply took a styrofoam ball, cut it in half and rubbed the 2 halves together.  This causes it to crumble and it looks a lot like Flower Soft.  Easy peasy! 
I used glue on his belly and ears and then covered it with the crumbles, worked great and at a fraction of the cost of Flower Soft.  I haven't tried coloring it yet, but I have heard that a couple drops of ink, some ink spray or even food coloring works well. 

Thanks for stopping by the QKR Stampede blog today, I hope you have been inspired.  Be sure to check out the QKR Stampede Store to see all the wonderful image they offer, both in rubber stamps and digital.

Snowy Barn

Greetings from Snowy Minnesota!
 I used the stamp Snowy Barn for my post today. 
I colored with colored pencils, a little blue chalk
 for the sky and Flower Soft for the snow.
I believe the background paper is from Paper Loft,
 something I've had in my stash for a while.
I hope you will head on over to the QKR website and do some shopping!
Lots of great stamps available there!
Thanks for visiting today!

Snowman Coaster

Today for my QKR Stampede project, I have made a coaster. My LSS carries these 4" coasters and I have several of them. I used the digital image Snowman Scene, shrunk it down to fit my coaster and colored with Copic.


I cut a piece of Basic Grey paper to fit my coaster and adhered with Tombow's Mono Aqua Liquid Glue. Then I adhered my image. On the back I cut a piece of cork and adhered it with the same glue. It's not shown in the picture, but I will add a piece of clear contact paper to the image front to protect it.


This with a mug and some hot chocolate would make a wonderful gift.
