Cute Card Thursday - Music

It is Cute Card Thursday and this week the challenge is Music and the sponsors are the lovely Alota Rubber Stamps (which you can also find in Quixotic Paperie).

So for my music inspired make I thought I would use the super cute Newton bear from Rory Tyger and as he is eating popcorn I thought I would add some Tim Holtz film ribbon and some music and make it a Film Music or Music Score themed make!

He is just the cutest!

Well have a music filled Thursday.

It's Cute Card Thursday's Birthday

It's Cute Card Thursday and this week it is all about Birthdays as it is the CCT 3rd Birthday today! You can find out more about this week's sponsor by hoping over to Cute Card Thursday.

As it is CCT's birthday to celebrate I've gone bright and bold with the gorgeous Rusted Sun From Fancy Pants.

The image is one of the new Victoria Case stamps from SCACD, she is called 'Hot Stuff' - I love the retro look to these new stamps.

I've also used my Sew Easy to add a few stitching details and the lovely Doily Die from the Marianne D Creatables.

Hope you have a lovely Bright Day today!

Cute Card Thursday

Hey Guys, up for the Cute Card Thursday Challenge this week? We have Hearts and Flowers to fit with the month of love and the sponsors this week are Simon Says Stamp.

Ok so I haven't really gone with the whole Valentine's theme for my DT make today but I have gone with the Hearts and Flowers (on the paper). You still need to give this poor guy some love - he is ill after all!

The image is one of the monsters from Paper Make-Up Stamps that you can get from Quixotic Paperie. His name is Flubu and he comes with the 'Sorry you feel so icky' sentiment!

Oh bless him!

Have a hearts and flowers day!

One Of My Dinosaurs Is Missing!

Oh how I loved saying that! 

Well it is, I have a Dino on the loose in the hoose, well flat but that doesn't rhyme, even if you spell it badly!

My Dinotastic card, made for this week's Cute Card Thursday and Quixotic Paperie DT makes uses The Greeting Farm Oliver from the Happy Day kit. Those of you who know this stamp will have, by now, noticed the missing Dino? 

*sad face* I coloured him in then he just got away from me as I was cutting out the image. I think he must have just wondered off, it is very hard keeping your eye on these tiny dinos you know! They are very quick :)

Anyhoo...I've used the Prima So Cute paper from Quixotic Paperie. Whilst you are over at Quixotic Paperie you might want to check out the new stock including some beautiful new Prima Paper pads :)

The challenge this week at Cute Card Thursday is 'Banish The Blues' - with Humour and the sponsor is The Stamp Shoppe.

If any of you spot a tiny rampaging blue dino then just send him back to me!

Have a fab Saturday!

La-La Land Craft Monday - Luka

I always like starting the week with a La-La Land Crafts make and this Monday I've got Luka with his Truck to show you.  You can get him as a digi-stamp or as a rubber stamp.

I made this card for my DT make for this week's Cute Card Thursday challenge which is being sponsored by Kraftin' Kimmies stamps. 

Such a cutey! 

Before you go take a closer look at the little cogs in the top left hand corner. They were coloured with the ZIG Wink Of Stella pens soon to be released from Kuretake. 

Promised I would be showing you some more of these yummy sparkly pens!

Have a lovely week.

Cute Card Thursday Meets Quixotic Paperie

Cute Card Thursday is sponsored by Simon Says Stamp and this week is all about:

Monochrome

Now I started out with good intentions for my Monochrome DT piece, I promise you, but a little bit of extra colour snuck onto my card before I knew it! So ignore the yellow highlights I have a shades of grey card for you!

The Memory Box Pixie papers and Kraftin Kimmies Valentine Willard stamp are all from Quixotic Paperie and I added a bit of stitching with the Sew Easy Tool.

Cute Card Thursday - Some Favourite Stash

Hi Guys, It is Cute Card Thursday! Wahoo! First of the year and this one is:

Out With The Old!

Which means you have an excuse to get all your old stash out and use it all up to make way for new stash of course!

Sponsored this week by The Stamp Shoppe.

The card I have to show you today was a commission card and is one of my favourites from December. You might recognise the paper from the K&Co Amy Butler collection, last year or the year before (?) and is still one of my favourite paper packs. I have a small stash of these little bookplates that I got last year and are a favourite bit of metal accessory. The stamp is from the CC Designs Reason For the Season kit from Christmas 2009 and yep, you guessed it - it is another one of my favourites! 

So this card is full of my favourites from my stash!

Enjoy going through your stash for this challenge!

Cute Card Thursday - Sketch

Hey Guys, it is Cute Card Thursday Challenge day and this week we have a lovely Sketch to play with and the sponsor is yummy Kraftin' Kimmies Stamps. 

I've made my card today with the super cute La-La Land Crafts Caroling Luka and Basic Grey Papers.

Got a Heads-up for you: La-La Lands Crafts is having a 20% Off Sale tomorrow 19th November from Midnight to Midnight Pacific Standard Time. 

So that is 20% off ALL Marci and Luka Collection stamps, including panda and the new sets (*digis excluded). Sale price will not be visible on the website, but will be reflected in the customers' Shopping Cart. It is their "Friday before Black Friday ONE-DAY SALE"

For those not sure what the US Black Friday is - it is the Friday after the Thanksgiving holiday in the US and apparently it is THE Shopping and Sales day of the year where everyone makes a profit - hence 'Black' Friday! 

Have fun!

More Minimalistic Cards

I've merged my DT makes for Make The Day Special and Cute Card Thursday today to bring another in my line of minimalistic cards. I'm really into these CAS, clean and simple, cards and every now and then I get the urge to try to pare down my designs. 

This week the challenge over at Cute Card Thursday is 

Anything Goes!

I've used one of the beautiful Suzi Blu girls available over at Make The Day Special.

Thanks for popping by.

How Did We Get To Thursday Already?

A make! A real fresh off the desk make today! 

It has been one of those weeks where I haven't had a chance to get my fingers dirty, besides the fact that I could not sit at my desk as my chair was full of stuff, I've just been busy with other things. What things? I have no idea! But things that kept me from working! 

Well to be honest it was work really just not getting my fingers dirty kinda work. Monday was a sorting, planning and doing DT work day, Tuesday was a research and getting ready for a workshop I was running in the evening, Wednesday was a bit of a rest day (Oops!) with some planning and designing thrown in. 

So today? Today is a MAKE day - yahoo! 

My make today is inspired by the Cute Card Thursday challenge this week which is:

So Transparent!

Oh isn't he a cutie? Well I think he is cute! LOL! He is from the My Cute Stamp Eeek! It's A Monster set available over at Make The Day Special.

The sponsor this week is The Stamp Shoppie

Right I better go make some stuff before you start thinking that I've stopped or something! 

Lots of Monster thanks for dropping by today.

Steampunk Lavina For Cute Card Thursday

Hey Guys it is Cute Card Thursday and this week we have a lovely sketch and are sponsored by Kraftin' Kimmies Stamps.

Yesterday I gave you a little hint of the card I was making for today on my WOYWW post, it was a kind of before picture. Here is the after picture!

I've used the gorgeous My Mind's Eye Meadowlark Dawn paper and tinted it with Ranger Tim Holtz Distress inks. That fab journaling plaque is also from the Meadowlark Dawn kit. I think the Meadowlark Dawn paper is one of my ultimate favs this year!

I've also added some extra interest by stamping out swirls and flourishes from the lovely Stempelglede Stamps Oriental Butterfly kit available over at Quixotic Paperie and I also used these stamps for the little butterfly.

This lovely lady is Kraftin' Kimmies Stamps Moonlight Whisper Lavina - just love her, well into my Steampunk at the moment! Have you seen the new Christmas themed Moonlight Whispers? Fab!

Right off I must go again, love you and leave you!

Have a lovely day and thanks for dropping in.

Kim
