Feed Your Soul - TTCRD, foiled embossing

A new challenge on the Through the Craftroom Door blog! Today's sponsor is TTCRD with a gift card for the winner.

For my project, I had food on my mind when I embossed and foiled a cutlery background stamp from Hero Arts, a cloche die from Spellbinders, and foody sentiments from Impression Obsession on a background paper from Hero Arts.

For my stencil inspiration, I used the new So Many Circles stencil with Brea Reese and Pinata alcohol inks and Posca paint marker, pairing it with Let Them Eat Cupcakes coloured with Prismacolour pencils, and a CC Design die cut.

Inside, I used Kimmie inks and the So Many Circles with a blender brush to create a background for the sentiments. Life is short, keep calm and have a cupcake :)

If you would like to see more details on how I made this card (along with some flubs and re-thinks, too), check out my detail post: https://rijacki.blogspot.com/2019/09/cupcake-cutie-detail-kks.html.

Since this is the last Saturday of the month, this also brings to a close my guest month on the Kraftin' Kimmie design team. I have loved being a guest on the team this month. It was a great experience.

For my "not a card", I made a box to hold some cards! I used three colours of Kimmie ink to stamp a pumpkin from Grateful Pumpkins then embossed it and added re-inker spray to the background with the embossing as a resist. I added the pumpkin to a box I die-cut and embossed with Autumn leaves.

The box will hold the A2 Kimmie cards I made for the September release so I can give them as a gift.

If you want to know more about how I made my box, check out my detail post: https://rijacki.blogspot.com/2019/09/autumn-box-detail-kks.html.

Paint My World - TTCRD, Distress crayon

This week's sponsor for the Through the Craftroom Door challenge is Stamp On It!

Stamp On It had it's humble beginnings in Holland MI 25+ years ago.... started out as a "home" business, soon became a storefront on the north side of Holland, grew to a 2nd storefront in Grand Rapids, before closing the Holland store and enlarging the Grand Rapids one! We began doing small craft shows years ago, slowly adding rubber stamp conventions to our schedule, expanding to almost full-time shows on the road before making the decision in the fall of 2009 to either close or sell the store. Before we were able to close the store, one of our employees voiced her desire to purchase the store! Long story short, we "sealed" the deal by the end of 2009 and became pretty much full-time rubber stamp convention vendors on the road.

Our FB link: https://www.facebook.com/Stamp-On-It-189444731096410/
Our web site link: www.stamponit.net

PRIZE; 3 images

For my card, I used the Art Palette and Painter for a colourful, rainbow and paint inspired card.

Pull the slider up to see the mousie with a slice of cheese.

And inside, the belly full mousie. How very mice of you! You're such a squeak-heart!

The mice and cheese were stamped and coloured with Creamy Caramel and Yummy Yellow on a table cloth stencilled with Totally Taupe and Salty Sea. If you want to know more about how I made the card, check out my details post: https://rijacki.blogspot.com/2019/09/youre-squeak-heart-detail-kks.html.

Elf-tastic - Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps day 3 September sneak peeks

We are keepin' things going with a brand new adorable set from artist, Neda Sadreddin called...

ELF-TACULAR!

My card is a double slider surprise that opens out to reveal Santa, the reindeer, and elves using a Lawn Fawn die set. I used Krafty Kolours with a waterbrush to colour the images with bright vibrant colours. I also added embossed snowflakes and used masking to add a blended background.
