Club KennyK Challenge #1 - Anything Goes

Hello!  I know I have been very bad about blogging my creations, but I'm hoping to get back in the swing of things!  Today I'm here to share my card for the inaugural Club KennyK Facebook group challenge!  Our theme is Anything Goes and the team is featuring some of KennyK Stamps awesome clear stamps! 

I opted to work with Soccer.  He colored with Copics and cut with Labels Seventeen Nestabilities (Spellbinders).  I used another Spellbinders die (Stars Five) and a few of my La-La-Land Craft dies as well (Stitched Bracket Border, Fancy Doily Border, and Flag Banner).  The sentiment is actually from the KennyK Soccer Girl clear stamp set and is cut with my Fishtail Flags Stax Die-namics (My Favorite Things).  Designer paper is Champs (Me & My Big Ideas), and my only embellishments are a paper straw and a couple of buttons.

We hope you'll play along!  All you have to do is join the group and add a new creation to the challenge photo album.  The prize is 2 clear stamp sets OR 5 digis of choice!  PLUS a Top 3 selected by the design team will each receive one digi of their choice!  You have until January 30th.   Remember: you MUST use a KennyK digi or clear stamp!

Come join us on Facebook for challenges, contests, freebies, discounts, and more!  Chat with the Krafty Krew and meet other Club Kids!  And most importantly of all, ROCK YOUR CRAFTS!

KennyK's Krafty Krew Challenge #200 - Banner Day

Hello!  Ready for some fabulous and exciting news?  Drum roll please... welcome to KennyK's new release AND our 200th challenge!  Two hundred!!!  Can you believe it?!?!  This is certainly cause for celebration so we have upped the prize factor and the fun!  

As always our challenge for KennyK's Krafty Krew is Anything Goes with a twist!  The twist is optional, but remember you MUST use a KennyK digi or clear stamp to enter.  And the theme for this momentous occasion?!

Banner Day 

Make or use a banner or bunting on your project.

In addition to our usual prizes, we have FIVE fabulous gift certificates to give away!

$25 from our very own Dawn Lewis for Copic markers 

$25 from Dies To Die For for dies

$25 from Stampin' Up for paper and/or ink

$25 from KennyKdownloads for digis

 $50 from KennyK Clear Stamps for clear stamps

Excited yet?!?!  We are!  Not only do we have all these fabulous prizes to share with you, but we also have one new release image!  He's called Valet and he fits in perfectly with a few others from our KennyK collection.  We affectionately refer to them as "The Estate".

I have used Socialite for my card.  I started with a Martha Stewart punch around the page punch and went from there.  The image is colored with Copic and fussy cut.  I popped her up on foam squares for dimension.  I didn't add as much as usual to this one.  I went with a classier, more sophisticated look this time.  I added flowers, a Tim Holtz memo pin holding a Tim Holtz chit chat sticker, a vintage looking medallion and jewel from my stash, antique looking lace with pearls, and a few dies.  Used here are Flag Banner (La-La-Land Crafts), the pennant flag from a castle (Magnolia Doo-hickeys), and feather (Hot Off The Press).

  

You simply must visit the blog to see what our guest desingers and krew have created!  And don't forget to color up a KennyK image to play along for a chance at winning one of those amazing prizes!  You have until August 13th to join the fun!

The Corrosive Challenge #228 - Hot, Hot, Hot!

Hello!  I hope all my US followers had a safe and happy 4th of July!  We enjoyed a low key cookout at my brother's.  I then came home to work on my card for today's challenge while Kayne played Xbox.  I was then able to enjoy some fireworks out my window as I colored and put my project together.  And not just because this is the most skin I have ever colored...

The Corrosive Challenge welcomes back favorite sponsor KennyK for a "Hot, Hot, Hot!" theme!  We're bringing SEXY back and KennyK's got a smokin' collection of sexy images just perfect for this challenge!  But if smoldering sex appeal isn't your cup of tea, we offer you the alternative to use "hot" colors: red, orange, yellow - any combination, or all of them!

Elena and KennyK are offering a fabulous prize of our winner's choice:

 2 clear stamp sets OR 4 digis!!!

Elena picked my image for me as I couldn't decide what I wanted to do.  She selected this Playboy image (from the Heartbreakers collection), who she said reminds her of Channing Tatum.  I am off to see the Magic Mike movie this weekend so I figured it was a fitting choice.  I was still at a bit of a loss as to what to DO with him after I colored him up with my Copics and fussy cut him.  I don't have a lot of truly masculine papers so I settled on this Diamond Plate paper.  I then cut up a pair of my son's old jeans for the pocket.  I stamped a My Favorite Things sentiment, and another from Stampin' Up, and put them together with the My Favorite Things Smart Phone Die-namics and a couple of ones from my wallet.  The button in the corner is also from Kayne's jeans.

Be sure to check out KennyK Clear Stamps , KennyK's Krafty Krew Challenge blog, and the KennyK Facebook page (plus don't forget to follow them on Twitter and Instagram @kennykstamps)!

The Corrosive Challenge #225 - Anything Goes

Happy Memorial Day weekend!  For those of us in the US it is a time to remember the fallen soldiers who have given their lives in defense of our country.  It is also the unofficial kickoff to Summer and we celebrate accordingly!  I will be heading off to a cookout later today and there is a parade and other festivities tomorrow.  The weather is supposed to be beautiful so I anticipate a lot of time outside!  But in case you are inside, and maybe sitting in your craft room, I want to tell you about the newest Corrosive Challenge that starts today.

Our awesome sponsor is KennyK (Downloads and Clear Stamps)!  Since I run that design team too you already know that I love KennyK's images!  Taking into consideration that it's the holiday weekend here we opted for a nice easy theme: "Anything Goes"!  If you play along, up for grabs is a prize of either 2 clear stamp sets or 4 digis!  Winner's choice!

  
I colored up one of the newer clear stamps.  This cutie is from the Let's Hang set.  Coloring is done with Copics and then the image was cut with the Deckled Rectangles Large Nestabilities (Spellbinders).  The @birthdaygirl sentiment is from a Stampin' Up set called @SoSocial (which has recently been retired).  The circle sentiment is from an Autumn Leaves set aptly named Sentiment Circles by Katie Pertiet.  I used my Fishtail Flags Stax Die-namics (My Favorite Things) and Magnolia View Master Doohickey dies as well.  Finishing touches were a few flowers, bits of bling flourishes, and a wood veneer ampersand.  The layout design is courtesy of The Deconstructed Sketch (#201).

Hope you'll visit the challenge blog to see the other fab KennyK kreations from the team!  Enjoy your weekend, wherever you are and whatever you do!

KennyK's Krafty Krew #194 - Anything Goes with a Twist: Just A Girl

I'm late, I'm late....  This is the story of my life!  Lol  Not only am I late posting for KennyK's Krafty Krew new Anything Goes challenge, but these special birthday cards themselves (made for my best friend's twin daughters) are late as well!  Their birthday was mid-March.  Ooops.  But hey, better late than never, right?  And I always say I'm worth the wait anyway!  Haha!

Our twist this time around is "Just A Girl".  Use any KennyK digi or clear stamp image for your chance to play along for a prize of two clear stamp sets.  BUT if you utilize the twist you get a bonus prize of 2 digis of your choice as well!  Sweet, right?

For the cards I used the fabulous Team Spirit clear stamp set.  The girls cheer so she was perfect.  I decided that I was going to make the cards the same yet different.  Just like them.  I created two cards with the same Stampvie sketch (#236) using similar Recollections papers in pink and purple.  The sentiment is included in the clear stamp set.  I added a couple of flowers and bling flourishes and a length of lace to each card.  The border punch is from Martha Stewart.  The die cut behind the image is Little Darlings Rubber Stamps Lovely View (Spellbinders) and I used the Resplendent Rectangles Nestabilities (Spellbinders) for the images which are colored with Copics.

  
 Pop on over to the challenge blog to see what girly creations the rest of the Krew has to offer!  Then color up a KennyK image (or use one of the awesome pre-colored versions found HERE) and play along!

Copics used: E00, E04, E11, E21, E23, E31, E50, E51, E53, R20, RV34, RV63, RV66, RV69, B00, B02, Y28, Y35, V20, V25, BV08, N0, N2, N4, N6

KennyK's Krafty Krew Challenge #193 - Anything Goes with a Twist: Flower Power

Hi there!  I'm popping in mid-week to share my latest KennyK creation which accompanies a new clear stamp release AND a new challenge!  Visit KennyK Clear Stamps for the former and KennyK's Krafty Krew for the latter!

 

Our current theme is Anything Goes (as always) with an optional twist of "Flower Power"!  You MUST use a KennyK image (clear or digi) to play either way, but using the twist will get you more prize if you are our winner.  We are offering 2 clear stamps of choice this time around with a bonus of two digis for using the twist.

Your flowers can be anywhere on your project- the image itself, your papers, the embellishments.  Get creative and let's see your inner hippy!  I'm actually showing my inner rocker as I've used the brand new Sexy Rocker clear stamp!  She is colored with Copics and cut using the Long Rectangles Nestabilities (Spellbinders).  There are a couple of other dies in use here as well: Zipper (Marianne Design) and Accent It - Rock and Roll Die-namics (My Favorite Things).  I added my flowers, a metal corner, a couple of pieces of bling, and a coating of Glaze pen to her glasses.  The sentiment is one of several that comes with the image.  I thought it would be fun to cut it with guitar pick die!  The zebra print paper is by Canvas Corp. The layout is based on the current Try Stampin' On Tuesday challenge (#214).

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you'll head over to the Krafty Krew blog to see the bouquet of beautiful blooms from the design team!

Copics used: E00, E04, E11, E21, E23, E31, E79, R20, RV29, RV34, N2, N4, N6, B32, B34
