Some Tag Fun for KCS Designs by Kimm

 Happy New Year, my friends!

I know I'm a little late to the party but I've had the flu ALL year! 
I'm finally feeling up to posting some projects that I finished ages ago. 

My first post of the year is some fun tags for KCS Designs by Kim!

These have a Winter/hot chocolate theme, which is most appropriate for us in Canada today. 
We reached -39 C this morning - with a windchill of -49 C.
It's the perfect day to stay in and enjoy a warm drink!


I printed and fussy cut two sweet girls from the Cozy Cocoa Cuties.
This is actually a free file from Kim's Ko-fi Shop.

The tag bases were created with the Design An Alpha Set from the shop, using my Cricut. 
I added a layer of coloured cardstock, and a sentiment from the Christmas Word Snippets.

Once everything was adhered in place, I added some fuzzy fibers to the tag top.
Finally, I added Glossy Accents to the eyes.
I think the extra shine adds a little bit of life to the sweet images. 


Thanks for stopping by today!
I hope to be back again very soon with more!

Santa Merry Christmas Cards for KCS Designs by Kim

   Hello, my friends!

It's time for some more fun Christmas cards, using products from KCS Designs by Kim!

These feature the cute Whimsical Santa Clip Art,
which is a FREE file from Kim's Ko-fi shop.

I also used a great cut file from the Design An Alpha Set for my backgrounds,
and the Christmas Word Snippets for my sentiments.

Here they are:




Again, it doesn't show in the photos
but I used my shimmer marker on all of the white fur.
It adds such a pretty sparkle!

I do have some new Christmas Junk Journal videos to share with you,
but I'm having some technical difficulties.
I hope to have that resolved soon.

Cute Critter Christmas Cards for KCS Designs by Kim

    Hello, my friends!

Today I'm back with a new project for KCS Designs by Kim!

This time I have made a set of four Christmas cards, 
using some ADORABLE critters!
I used the same process for each card, and had so much fun!

Here they are:


I began with the beautiful Christmas Gingham Journal Papers for the background.
I sized them down, and mounted them on a kraft card base.


I then printed/fussy cut several of the adorable critters from Kim's Ko-fi shop.
The Tangled Tidings Collection is available for FREE!


I added them to the card base using foam tape.
 I printed and matted a sentiment from the Christmas Word Snippets.
There are so many to choose from!


Finally, I went over the background design with my Sparkle Pen,
and added glossy accents to each of the light bulbs, and the animal eyes.
Although it doesn't show in the photos, the cards are full of gloss and glitter!


There are so many fun collections in the shop.
The creative possibilities are endless!

These pages aren't meant to go with each other
...they were made separate but it works, right?


These images are so much fun to play with,
and they go beautifully with so many of the Coffee Flair sentiments.

Here's another one:

Card Series Part 2 for Crafty Critta

   Hello, my friends! 

I'm back with Part 2 of my Crafty Critta card series! 

I've created two more space themed cards, using the same products that I used in Part 1.

Again, both cards were made using one piece of foil.
The first pass through my Your Best Mate Machine adheres the foil to the Art Foil Design.
The second pass adheres the relief of the foil to the Toner Sheet I use.

Here is the first card:


These new space themed products are so much fun!
The background papers are stunning double-sided galaxy images. 

I used another one of the fabulous foil art pages.
I ran in through my Your Best Mate Machine, and the foil adhered to the space design.



Here is the second card:


On this card the foiling is the opposite of the previous piece.
I used the leftover foil, and ran it through the machine on a coloured toner sheet. 
It's hard to see the design details in the photo but they're very evident in person.

I fussy cut one of the images, and adhered it in place using foam tape.
I did the same with the foiled sentiment.
Isn't that background paper gorgeous?!


I think foiling is so much fun!
The products from Crafty Critta make it super easy to make very effective cards!

Crafty Critta Products Used:

Foil Art - T0162 Space;

Thank you for stopping by today!
I hope you come back next week to see the next two cards!
