Special Someone for Stampin' Up's Color Challenge #5

Hello Stampin' Friends! I hope you're all doing well on this Tuesday. It's cold and rainy again here in Illinois - totally opposite of our beautiful weekend- but perfect crafting weather!

Every Monday at 3pm, I host a Facebook Live video on my Facebook business page

www.facebook.com/kimskreativekorner. I've been using the color challenges that Stampin' Up puts out every week as my incentive for the cards I design and this week was no different.

This week I combined the Special Someone and the new digital download COVID-19 stamps #sharesunshine with the color palette. I'm very happy with the way it turned out. How can you not love anything with that cute li'l raccoon on it?! 

Here's our color palette:

I love how soft these colors are together.

There's plenty of room to write a message inside too!

What do ya think?! I would love to hear from you! :) 

Check out the video for all of the details of this card and while you're there, I'd love it if you subscribed to my youtube channel.  

Please mark your calendars for Monday's at 3pm to join me on my FB Lives. I love having people to interact with while I'm there :) 

And please join us in using So Saffron, Crushed Curry, Smoky Slate and Seaside Spray in your next creation and don't forget the hashtag when you do #keepstamping! 

Until next time
HAPPY STAMPING!

Wildlife Rehab card with Stampin' Up Special Someone Stamp Set

Happy Monday!

I can hear the grumbles already! LOL Hopefully these critters will help cure the Monday blues. Today's card is one I've had the pieces sitting on my drafting table for a while. I knew what I wanted to do and how I wanted to do it, I just never could seem to get it done. We have a local Wildlife Rehabber, Nancy Johnson, that takes in and helps all kinds of animals. She's always got foxes, squirrels, raccoons, possums, etc. etc. And, she does senior dog rescue - all while working full-time 😲 CLICK HERE to check out her wonderful rescue and donate if you'd like.

I knew from the moment I saw the Special Someone stamp set in the catty that I was going to make her a card. The inspiration didn't come for the exact card until I saw Beth McCullough's fun fold card HERE. I love the layering "steps" on this card. So cool! I do wish, however, that I would've used Garden Green instead of Shaded Spruce behind the squirrel and the mountain range. It would've made the card more uniform, but it was already glued down so that's how it went. LOL!

I love the sentiment inside. It speaks volumes! I don't know how she does it, but she does - all for the love of the animals. I can't imagine the tenacity that it all takes. God Bless her!

And here's the photo she posted on my FB timeline

Isn't that adorable?! 

During this difficult time, her little rescue could use all the help it can get. If you can donate, please help via the link above. 

I will be LIVE on Facebook this afternoon at 3pm! You won't want to miss the cool fun fold we're doing today! Please join me.

Until then
HAPPY STAMPING!

Special Someone Bay Window Cards for the February Stray Ducklings Blog Waddle

Welcome to the February edition of the Stampin' Stray Duckling's Blog Waddle. Our team is focusing on Love for this Valentine's month 💖💋

For one of our class cards this month, I chose to make a Bay Window card. I gave the participants the option to make it a Valentine or a Thank You (the Thank You version is below) or they could choose to make both for an additional fee. 

I LOVE that raccoon from the Special Someone set! He's so adorable, don't you think?!

I've also been using the Stitched So Sweetly Dies nonstop since they came out in the new January - June Mini Catalog. 

The Sentiment in the Valentines Card is from the Tags, Tags, Tags Bundle. And looky, the card folds nice & flat for mailing!

And the Thank You version. 

So.Stinkin'.Cute! Dontcha just wanna squeeze him?! 

I sure do! LOL!
