Happy Saturday...hope everyone is having a fabulous weekend! I spent the morning stamping and card making with my mom, so much fun but just like stamping with any friend, we end up spending more time chatting than card making. My mom finished several cards and I stamped some backgrounds using the PTI Guide Lines set, will show those another day once I finish the cards.
My first card is for this week's WP9 Mood Board. I love the red white and blue look to the inspiration card. I did not have any chevron dies and Joyce from Cards-by-the-Sea was sweet enough to send me some die cuts but then after playing with PTI's Guide Lines I came up with another idea. Joyce was also sweet enough to send me some the new die cuts from WP9, so I used this adorable little crab instead.

Next card is for the first challenge for Waltzingmouse Fanatics, they have a new sketch every other week, and there is still plenty of time to play along. In my opinion Waltzingmouse has the best Halloween stamps hands down and ever since I received this adorable candy jar (thanks Jeanne), I knew mine had to be filled with eyeballs.
Final card for the day is a birthday card. My sister asked me to make a Disney themed birthday card for a 3 year old. My first thought was make a princess card, once I was finished I realized this was not really a good card for a 3 year old so I started over and make a very cute baby Tigger card. I was worried about getting it to her in time for the party that I forgot to get a photo, so sorry. But I do have the princess card to share instead. Thank you so much for taking time to stop by to peek at my cards....have a great rest of your weekend!

Three fantastic cards Kim! Love the photo of your Mom. Your Mood Board card is stamped so perfectly, the eyeballs are too fun and of course Ii love the princess.
ReplyDeleteWow--you really did have a crafty day. Where to start--well, you already know that I think that your WPlus9 card is just stunning. Your stamping is just phenomenal, and I am inspired to pull out my guidelines set and stamp something as well. I am so glad that you mentioned that I sent you that crab, because I thought he was so cute, and I was going to ask where he was from so I could buy him. So happy I already did buy him. What can I say about a jar of eyeballs other than oh my, that is an incredible idea, and a lot of work, too. Your disney card is just perfect, and I'm sure it will make some little girl very happy.
ReplyDeleteKim, you have written a "Joyce" post with so much sensational card art, I don't know where to start!! I love that you included a photo of your beautiful Mom. You are so blessed to not only have her, but be able to make cards with her! Back to your cards, all of which are stunning, my fave is the jar of eyeballs hands down!!
ReplyDeleteGreat cards Kim, but your jar full of googly eyes made me smile! Spooky!
ReplyDeleteLove the jar full of eyeballs and the bat 'border'! The perfect Halloween card.
ReplyDeleteWhat fun, crafting with your Mom, Kim ... how wonderful you have each other! Stunning cards ... I just laughed out loud at that jar 'having' to be filled with eyeballs ... well, what else would it be filled with?? Such an amazing idea, beautifully done! I'm still chuckling! Anita :)

Wow. You have been so busy...what a great collection of different kinds of cards Kim. I LOVE the eyeball card...so cute and how I wish I had thought of it! The two nautical cards are also great...especially like the one with the crab. That is some great stamping!
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful to be able to make cards with your mom! Love what you made! The Guidelines pattern looks especially fabulous. I like it better than chevrons. Your jar of eyeballs is so cute--in a spooky sort of way, of course.! And the CAS design of your Disney card is awesome--the pops of color on the white are perfect!
ReplyDeleteWow - looks like you had a really fun day!
ReplyDeleteYour jar of eyeballs is inspired!
Thanks for joining the fanatics first challenge :-)

Kim - I adore the jar full of eyeballs - such a fun Halloween card. I like the backing paper and sweet little bats too. Great card, wish I'd thought of that!!! I'm so pleased to see you joined our first challenge at Waltzingmouse Fanatics, I do hope you'll be back with us for our next one too.
ReplyDeleteI must add that your crafty weekend looks like it was great fun and I really like the sweet birthday card, beautifully clean and simple. The grid pattern, crab and sentiment on your WP9 card are fab!
Wow...your mom looks amazing! How truly lucky you are to be able to hang out and craft with your mom! She seems like she is one cool lady!
ReplyDeleteYour cards are all so amazing! I always spend hours and hours (...well, that might be a bit of an exaggeration) studying your designs. Your elements are always so perfectly balanced...every little sequin is in the exact right spot! Beautiful colors, perfectly stamped, awesome embellishments (love the jar of eyeballs!)....truly a cornucopia of eye candy!
You are so creative, Kim! All fabulous cards & I love the picture of your mom! So neat that you can craft together. I really need to use my PTI Guidelines that I got from someone cleaning out their stash. Love the one with the crab & look forward to seeing what else you come up with.
ReplyDeleteKim - Love them all! The jar full of eyeballs is awesome...what a great way to use the jar! Your princess card - adorable! And the Guide Lines card is so cute! Love all you do--thanks for sharing!!
ReplyDeleteWow Kim - what a fun set of cards! love the crab one with the fun angled stamping - and the eyeballs in the jar is just too 'spooky'!!!
ReplyDeleteKim, you and your mom have been busy. Such a nice picture of your mom. All of your cards are great. Love the Mood Board card, red, white and blue has always been one of my favorites....
