Today I have a card featuring Black Arched Cat along with the sentiment Tis Halloween.

I stamped my images using IO Hybrid inks in Orange and Black 

I stamped the images, then smashed my versa mark ink pad over the card panel, applied Heat n Stick and heated until melted.  I then covered the panel in clear glitter, tapped off the excess then heated it again for just a few minutes to remelt the heat n stick to grab ahold of the glitter.  Some designer paper for a "belly band" of sorts and sentiment adhered over that. Super easy and cute card with bling and no bling transfer! 

If you’ve arrived from KAREN's blog you’re at the right place. If not please head to the Impression Obsession blog to start at the beginning of the hop.

Guest DT Beary Sweet

Hello friends!

I have a share for Quick Creations Stamps from Doodle Dragon called Beary Sweet.

I created my card using the stamp called Beary Sweet from Doodle Dragon Designs, the DP is from Doodlebug called Here comes Santa, a random couple of snowflakes that I found in my embellie drawer that I then covered in Tim Holtz ink and Nuvo Mousse.  This is a technique I learned at a retreat in Austin Texas hosted by the UBER fabulous Lydia Fiedler.  You will also see some Nuvo Drops on the ends of the white snowflake.  I LOVE these Nuvo Products!!!! 

Thanks for popping in!

Kraftin Kimmie Sneak Peek Day 2~ Sincere Sympathy

Hey everyone!! Welcome back to day TWO of our May Kraftin' Kimmie Peeks!!! Have you been enjoying the peeks so far?? We've got more beauties for you today!

Now, no one likes to have to make a sympathy card but as card makers, it something we all must do. And having some beautiful designs in our stash to let people know that we are thinking of them during those difficult times is so important. That's what today's preview is all about. We are so happy to share the newest set of elegant sentiments by artist BECKY PEARCE and it is called SINCERE SYMPATHY!! This set includes EIGHT lovely sentiments and you'll see them all as you hop around the blogs today!

I kept my card very simple and let the GORGEOUS sentiments do all the work!!!!  I found a great DCWV paper stack at JoAnn's on clearance and as my sympathy cards are almost always just black and white I had to grab it!!!!

The sentiment is actually stamped onto the sweet flowered DP.  BAM!  right??!! I added a Doodlebug doily and some rolled country roses and some stamens and called it done!!!  Here's the stamp set so you can see all the beauty it contains.

Are you planning to join us for our LIVE ONLINE RELEASE PARTY!!! Hope you can join us for all the fun and excitement and prizes Saturday night beginning at 6pm EST!! Hope you can come hang out with the me and Krafty Girls!

All the Krafty Girls and Guests listed below have lots of beautiful designs to show you featuring these gorgeous new stamps from Becky!
