Little Red Wagon Challenge #293 ~ Down on the Farm combined with Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps Wonderful Wednesday

Hey y'all.  I would not normally combine two different challenges but this stamp was just too cute to use for only one.  That's my excuse anyhow.  It also just happens to fit both.

The challenge at Little Red Wagon is hosted by Joanne and the theme is DOWN ON THE FARM. She wants us to use a farm animal on our card.  And not just regular cats and dogs because you see them other places than a farm.  So you know, an animal like a horse, a cow, a pig....you get the point.

And it is WONDERFUL WEDNESDAY time at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps where the theme is always ANYTHING GOES.  I coloured up this cutie from the Down on the Farm 2 set and paired her with some farm animal printed paper that I also get at Kraftin' Kimmie (although it is an older paper pad that she does not have anymore.)

RECIPE:

Copic Xpress It Card Stock

Memento Tuxedo Black Ink

Image and Sentiment ~ Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps "Down on the Farm 2"

Copic Markers

Card Stock ~ Recollections

Patterned Paper ~ Kaisercraft Cock-a-Doodle-Doo

Punches ~ Creative Memories

The June sneak peeks for Kraftin' Kimmie begin tomorrow so come back for the next few days to see the amazing stamps.  You won't want to miss them.

Won't you join me for these two challenges this week: 1) farm animals at Little Red Wagon and 2) Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps Wonderful Wednesday.  Can't wait to see all of your creations.

Until next time, keep crafting.

Little Red Wagon Challenge #292 ~ "Use It Up!"

Hey there.  So like usual this Wednesday rolled around on me faster than it was supposed to.  I have lots going on in my life and I feel like I am playing "catch up" just to get the basics done.  Because crafting and my creative side get pushed to the back of the line it was so hard to find my mojo for this challenge.  And I am the hostess so it had to get done.  I am not completely satisfied with how this turned out but it is done and posted and life goes on, correct?  LOL!!!  Anyone who knows me well knows I will keep fiddling with it until I like it better.  Anyhow, I digress......

Welcome to another challenge at Little Red Wagon.  As I stated I am the hostess this week and I am asking you to "USE IT UP!" ~ and by that I mean to use something you have bought but have not yet used.  We all have it,  possibly lots of it, after all that is how Little Red Wagon blog got started.  We, as girlfriends, wanted to use the supplies we had in our wagon.

My card features two new dies from Spellbinders and a new sentiment/punch set from Stampin' Up that I have never used.

RECIPE:

Card Stock ~ Recollections

Patterned Paper ~ Doodlebug Springtime

Die Cuts ~ Spellbinders Shapabilities Garden Weave

~ Spellbinders Shapabilities Spiral Blossom One

Punches ~ EK Success

~ Studio G

~ Stampin' Up

Sentiments ~ Stampin' Up Label Love

Versamark Stamp Pad

Stampendous White Embossing Powder

Pearls ~ Michaels $1.50 Bin

Did you know that Little Red Wagon is having a Design Team Call?  If you love card making and weekly challenges this may be what you have been looking for (or dreaming of).  All the details can be found HERE and you have until June 15th to apply.

Thanks for coming by.  Be sure to visit the blog to see what the other girlfriends have used, pick something in your stash you haven`t used and get creative.  I am looking forward to visiting and seeing what you all do this week.

Good morning, my crafting (and non-crafting who visit) friends.  It's challenge time again at Little Red Wagon and this week our hostess is Collette.  She wants us to use red, white and blue on our projects.  I am pretty sure this is in honour of the Memorial Day holiday in the United States Monday but it's a great colour combination no matter what.

I made a set of small note cards that would be cute to  put in a lunchbox or just to tuck in a pocket for someone to find to brighten their day.

Little Red Wagon Challenge #290 ~ To Die For

It is another Wednesday again.  They just seem to be coming faster and faster.  So, welcome to another new week and a new challenge at Little Red Wagon.  This week our hostess is Susie and her challenge is "TO DIE FOR".  Now I know that doesn't sound good but I know she is wanting us to use a die cutting machine on our projects, either manual or electronic ~ she doesn't want us to literally die for crafting.  The English language is so very complicated with so many meanings of the same word and so very different.  Okay, grammar lesson aside, it is unusual for me not to die cut something on my cards but for some reason I was having a creative block and could not think of what I wanted to do.  I began surfing Pinterest and YouTube for ideas and finally decided to jump on the bandwagon of one of the hottest trends ~ shaker cards.  It was fun and I really like the outcome.

RECIPE:

Card Stock ~ Recollections

Patterned Paper ~ Doodlebug Springtime

Acetate ~ old packaging (I did this while

everything was closed but am going to get some better stuff soon 

as there are a few scratches on this window.)

Spellbinders Nestabilities ~ Petite Scalloped Circles (LG)

Sentiment ~ Inkadinkadoo

Butterfly Punch ~ Martha Stewart

Tim Holtz Picked Raspberry Distress Ink

Thanks for dropping in. I hope you join us this week and link up your project "TO DIE FOR" at Little Red Wagon. While you are there don't forget to check out what the other girlfriends have created and leave us some comment love as we all appreciate you visiting and letting us know you did.  

So, until next time, keep crafting!!
