Spring Cards for KCS Designs by Kim

    Hello, my friends!

I'm back with a new card post for KCS Designs by Kim.

I think the Spring Pastel Journal Papers are so pretty!
So I had to make some more cards using them.

I also had to use the adorable Spring Tulip Girls!
The girls, along with the Spring Word Snippets, are freebies from Kim's Ko-fi Shop.

Here are my cards:

Those three files are such a lovely combination!
They are ideal for a variety of Spring and Summer projects!

Hello Again with Crafty Critta

   Hello, my friends! 

 Today I have two more "Hello" cards for Crafty Critta!

Just like my space themed cards previously shared,
these cards are a two-for-one process.
 

First up:

I ran the Hello Sentiments through my Your Best Mate Foiling Machine, 
using the beautiful Toner Foil - Hearts Silver and the White Toner Sheet.

Then it was just a matter of cutting out the foiled pieces,
and adding them to the beautiful background paper.

 

My second card:

This "Hello" was created with the leftover from the first card. 
I ran it through my machine on one of the Ombre Multi Toner Sheets.
You can see that the foiled part is the reverse of the first card.

Again, I simply cut out the foiled sentiments,
and adhered them in place on the great background paper.

As always, foiling is fun and fabulous using Crafty Critta Products!

Thanks for taking a look! See you again soon!

It's time for some more fun Christmas cards, using products from KCS Designs by Kim!

These feature the cute Whimsical Santa Clip Art,
which is a FREE file from Kim's Ko-fi shop.

I also used a great cut file from the Design An Alpha Set for my backgrounds,
and the Christmas Word Snippets for my sentiments.

Here they are:

Again, it doesn't show in the photos
but I used my shimmer marker on all of the white fur.

Cute Critter Christmas Cards for KCS Designs by Kim

    Hello, my friends!

Today I'm back with a new project for KCS Designs by Kim!

This time I have made a set of four Christmas cards, 
using some ADORABLE critters!
I used the same process for each card, and had so much fun!

Here they are:

I began with the beautiful Christmas Gingham Journal Papers for the background.
I sized them down, and mounted them on a kraft card base.

I then printed/fussy cut several of the adorable critters from Kim's Ko-fi shop.
The Tangled Tidings Collection is available for FREE!

I added them to the card base using foam tape.
 I printed and matted a sentiment from the Christmas Word Snippets.
There are so many to choose from!

Finally, I went over the background design with my Sparkle Pen,
and added glossy accents to each of the light bulbs, and the animal eyes.
Although it doesn't show in the photos, the cards are full of gloss and glitter!

There are so many fun collections in the shop.
The creative possibilities are endless!

Today we're celebrating with KCS Designs by Kim!
Everything in the shop is 50% off!

The design team will be sharing some really fun cards with you,
all created with Kim's fabulous digital products!

Here are my cards:

Aren't those owls adorable? 

I had so much fun with this combination of products from the shop.
I printed two of each of the background papers.
From the second print, I fussy cut all the leaves.

The owls were printed and fussy cut.
To adhere them to the page, I used foam tape in the center, and then liquid glue around the edges.

It doesn't show that great in the photo but he's nicely rounded. 

I followed the same process for the second card.

The flair bits were printed and punched out.
They were added with foam tape, and then matted with larger cardstock circles.

Both cards have some wonderful dimension!

August Fun Foiled Cards for Crafty Critta

  Hello, my friends! 

It's time for another foiled project using Crafty Critta products!
I have three more cards to share with you today!
The products used are linked beneath each card.
I also used the YOUR BEST MATE MACHINE for all the foiling.

Foil Art -T0161- Doodles
Toner Sheet - TM0038
Toner Foil - F0083 - Matte Silver 

I peeled the foiling away a little too soon on this one...before it had cooled.
You can see it in this bottom right corner. 
I don't mind the effect at all. It gives it a bit of a grungy look.

Foil Art - TM0023 - Small Sentiments
Toner Foil - F0046 - Hearts Pink

I love this beautiful pink foil!
Here I punched a circle out of the card front. I also punched out the foiled sentiment.
I adhered the sentiment into the larger circle with foam tape.

Foil Art - T0161 - Doodles
Toner Foil - F0083 - Matte Silver

This newer matte silver foil is STUNNING!
I think it's my new favorite! 
It's so simple to make an elegant card with this one.

Foiling is so much fun!

Thanks for stopping by today!
I'll have another fun foiled project very soon!
