Autumn gnomes

 Good Morning,

Hope everyone is enjoying their weekend. I am sharing this fun card I made from the new fall release at Polkadoodles. This guy is just the cutest. I colored him with copics and added a bit of stickles to the pumpkins and butterflies just because I can. 

Even the paper and sentiment is from the same collection, which I love when it all comes with a complete collection.

First Grade

 Hello!

It is that time of year when all the littles go back to school. This year my oldest granddaughter is going into first grade!!! Well now that is a big deal, so I made her this adorable card.

This image from La La Land Crafts just reminded me of my granddaughter, eye glasses and all! I had to get it. I colored her up using copics and added an Ice Cream charm because it is sooo cool! I think she will love it.

Thankful for you

 Hello, 

Today I want to share a card I made for Thanksgiving, perfect for a little one in your life (or even a big one haha). 

I used Marci Pilgrim stamp from La La Land Stamps and colored her with my copics. The paper is from an old pad I had from Prima called Autumn Sunset. I cut a lot of the paper apart and used it for my embellishments. I inked the edges with Distress Ink to make it pop out a bit. I added some lace and pearls too just because.

Let me know what you think.

New Name

 Hi Everyone,

It's me Kim, I have changed my name yet again!!! This time I am trying to keep it all under one name. So I sell on Etsy, have a Facebook page, an Instagram and my blog now will all be Holiday Cards By Kim.

I am excited to start officially selling my cards. I have dabbled around a bit before but I am going at it hard this time. I have over 200 cards waiting to be sold. I cannot justify letting them sit here. 

Oh I have donated cards, given cards as occasions arise but I still have many, many to sell. So here I am trying my best because I am still making them hahahaha!

With that today's card I used an image from La La Land digital stamps for a back to school card. I thought this Reading Luca was perfect. The papers I had on hand are from Doodlebug Design. I colored him up with copics and added some cute embellishments. Those adorable vehicles are a die from Memory Box called auto parts, I love them, they look so cute.

No coloring

 Hi Everyone, 

A different type of card for me today. I did not do any coloring!!! Talk about a quick card! I used Fruit Punch Blooms digital flowers. I just arranged them and then printed them out, some right on the card stock the others I fussy cut to add dimension. The sentiment is from Winnie Celebrations 3 digital sentiments. Easy peasy! 

I added the little wooden butterflies and distressed the edges to give it a more romantic feel. I love how it came out.

Thanks a Latte

 Hello Everyone, 

Happy New Year! I hope this year brings us all good health and happiness! What a crazy 2021 it was. 

So this week, I almost forgot to post my card. Did you ever have one of those weeks....I did this week. My furnace needed a new part $3200 ouch! My poor little dog went in for a routine vaccine and has been partially paralyzed for over a week now. Then my sweet baby granddaughter (age 5) got Covid, to which she then shared with her parents. So far her younger sister is still negative, fingers crossed. So I am ready for the new year. 

My card I am sharing is perfect for all those thank you's one must acknowledge after Christmas. I used the sweet clear stamp set Latte Christmas Tweet from Polkadoodles. Both the image and the sentiment are from the same set. I colored them with my copics and then stenciled the tree using Winter Landscape Stencil. 

I hope you enjoy this card and thanks for stopping by!
