Paper Piecing Challenge at Kraftin Kimmie Stamps

Hey everyone!   Today I am back with this week's challenge over at Kraftin Kimmie Stamps- Paper Piecing.  

I used the Ahoy Sailor- Stamping the girl with  Kraftin KimmieWicked Black ink- which has to be my favorite ink to stamp and color with as it's safe for Alcohol markers.

I colored with Copics:

Skin: E00, 11, 21, R20

Hair: E13, E15, E18

Reds: R35, 37, 59

Blues: B93, B95, B97, B99

Anchor: N1, N2, N3, N5

I used pattern paper from my stash (I believe this was Catherine Pooler) and stamped my image and then fussy cut the pants to paper piece onto my image.

I used a Stitched Rounded Rectangles die from Elizabeth Craft Designs to create my base layer.  I inked my layers with Kraftin Kimmie Incredible Indigo ink.

Next I used a couple of Oval dies to mat my image on and then used foam tape to pop up both the ovals and the image.

I added some various nautical dies from my stash and a couple, and some enamel dots add the finishing touches.

I added the sentiment on to a tag tucked into the card- when I originally created I did not plan on using the tag, but found my card had a big open space that needed something added.

I hope you enjoyed my card.

See you soon!

I added 2 paper folds to the layers which I love how it shows off the patterns.

Although I often times cut with my Scan N Cut, for this one I fussy cut.

I used the Stitched Indented Squares Dies for the right side of the card.   I cut 2 layers, one with black cardstock and the other with pattern paper from my stash.    For the other part of my card, I cut 2 long rectangle layers.

I cut some pattern paper strips to go behind my image, again patterns and cardstock from my stash.

I used the Life is Better on the Farm Barn Die from Elizabeth Crafts Designs, - only using a few elements to create a simple white washed barn.

I used a North Pole Die- just the top to go at the top of the barn.

I inked the barn with Tim Holtz Distress Oxide- Weathered Wood.

I added foam tape behind the barn die and adhered to the card.

Next I added foam tape behind my image and adhered her to the card.

I used a couple of snowflake die cuts (from my die cut bin -already cut) and added to the card.    I added a few red gems to the snowflakes.

Next I added a lantern die cut behind and to the side of my Princess.

I used a sentiment strip from Simon Says Stamp - I attempted to link the specific one used however it looks like it's no longer available however, I have linked a similar one.

I used the CC Designs Banners Die to cut the sentiment out and inked with Cherry Cobbler Ink from Stampin Up.

I cut a few candy canes with my Silhouette and added to the top of the card.

I also cut a North Pole Sign pole with my Silhouette, and added to the card.

Lastly, added some branches, pine branches and pine cones to the top right of the card.

I hope that you enjoyed my card.

See you soon!

I used the Winter Whimsy Background stamp to stamp on my Double Stitched Dome Die.

Next I used the North Pole Die and added to the left of the card.    I used the Layered Christmas Tree Die to add to the right of the card.    

I added some random enamel dots to the tree as he is adding ornaments to his tree.

Lastly I used the Stitched Merry Die and the Christmas from the Merry Christmas Die to add my greeting.

I added my hedgehogs with foam tape across the card to add the finishing touches.

I love how this turned out and hope you did too!

Sweater: BG10, BG13, BG15, BG49 

White Gel Pen  

I cut 2 of the Snow Globe Dies- one with pattern paper from the Starry Night Paper Pack and one with Metallic Cardstock from Crafters Companion.

I used the new Mountains Stencil to ink mountains and birds onto the pattern paper.

I cut 2 Snow Banks Dies - on white cardstock- (and with the Snow Globes) to create the base of my scene.

Next I used the Mountains Stencil to add trees to the scene.

I cut several of the Winter Houses Dies- adding to my scene.
