Irish Friendship Card

Happy St. Patrick's Day!!! I'm feeling the 'Luck o' the Irish' with me today, because I'm sharing this sweet card full of spring colors, plaid, and childhood memories from this darling "Lollipop Love" set by Polka Dot Orchard digital stamps. It's not just for Valentines Day. It's versatile for other occasions too! Isn't this cheery and fun??? Love it!!!

​Reminds of those brightly colored sucker pops I used to get from the candy store across the street from my Grandma's house. OH! You heard me right! A kids dream! Am I right? Oh yeah...a sweet little mom and pop general store, but we always called it the "candy store," where all our pennies were spent when we came to visit! And these suckers took me right back to those days! Such sweet memories of me and my little sister filling our small brown paper bags full of 1 cent candies. Oh! Those were the days!

May the 'Luck o' the Irish' be with you
today and always.

Prayers to the world! ~Kim & family

Hi everybody! Kim here, for CAS-ual Fridays Stamps to celebrate and Sponsor 'International Women's Day' which is kicking off today with a Blog Hop, a Linky Party, and an Instagram Hop from March 8-31, 2020 IST. And the fun part is...you can join us too! ​Details below...

The idea behind this hop started last year with 10 amazing women card makers who wanted to encourage other women through their crafts. Just a small word of encouragement from fellow women goes a long way and can do wonders. So let us come together again and empower our sisters all around the world. Wow! Pretty awesome, right? We look forward to building a positive environment with your support.


For today's project: I was inspired by the beauty and strength of our fabulous CFS 'Be A Unicorn' stamp set, with coordinating 'Unicorn Fri-Die' to create this amazing project with distress inks, heat embossing, and some metallic sparkle.

Click "here" for a step by step tutorial on how I made this card and supply list.

Sharon H. is our Winner here at My Kraft Kloset, for August 2019! 
Congratulations!!! 

Our theme for this months Blog Hop is...Autumn Colors!!!
I love all holidays, but Autumn is my favorite time of year with all the leaves changing colors, pumpkin spice everything appears, and we have lots of family birthdays to celebrate too! 

My 1st card I knew I wanted lots of leaves and color with ink smooshing, alcohol markers, and die cuts on a fairly large card.

My 2nd card I used masking, ink blending, and distress micro glaze techniques on a layered card with die cut frames.

My 3rd card is similar to my 2nd card with masking, ink blending, and distress micro glaze techniques on a layered card with die cut frames, but slightly different with a mix of Autumn patterns and colors.

I hope I've inspired you to mix and match your stamps, products, and techniques and maybe try some new things and see where it takes you!

Happy Fall ya'll!!!

is a Winner here at My Kraft Kloset, for June 2019!Congratulations!!! 

Our theme for this months Blog Hop is...Vintage!!!
So, what is Vintage? Well, according to Webster's:  something antique is also vintage,  

but something vintage isn't necessarily antique, because to be classified as an antique 

it has to be over 100 years old. Interesting, right?

I'm more of a modern girl, so I was quite challenged with this months 'Vintage' theme.

 I drew my inspiration from old fashioned dresses, probably from our wedding theme last month, as I still had dress stamps all over my craft table. But also, while going through my craft stash, I came across vintage looking sewing patterns and postage stamps with vintage writing, flowers, and buttons that all went well together too! That's why I LOVE our monthly themes! They really challenge me to think outside of the box and look at what I have, mix and match and to use things in unexpected or unintended ways and turn them into something new and extraordinary.

Our theme for this months Blog Hop is...Fruitful!!!

So I took my inspiration from "producing much fruit."  But other things are "fruitful" too, which makes these monthly themes SO much fun. Because they really do stretch our imaginations and creativity to design something totally different from each other. 

Today I'm going to show you how to take one stamp set and use it a couple different ways to really be "fruitful and abundant" with y our stamps to create many cards and stretch your budget too.  Like this berry batch background I created on my card below...
