Stamp It! oh how I love this issue! :) Last year this issue was my first publication with Paper Crafts, with three cards! And to have 12 in this one now?! Amazing!
I am a stamper at heart. I love to stamp. I love everything to do with stamping! What I love about this special Paper Crafts issue is, I see all these stamps I have, but am amazed at how all the designers use them differently. SO cool. This is one issue that I grab over and over again when I need inspiration.
Ok, you are here for the prizes :), so this is what you need to do: Visit all of these fabulous (oh my gosh LOOK at those names) blogs and see what they created, especially for today. Leave a comment at each blog and someone will have a chance to win 12 sets of stamps from My Cute Stamps! You have until Sunday, February 28 to leave comments on the blogs.
Kimberly Crawford You are here!
My card for today uses a new stamp from Stampendous called, Poppy Scene. Love the rustic feel and the possibilities with this line of images.
There is one tip I wanted to point out when you are coloring images with Copic markers, or any markers for that matter. Images that are farther away, or images that are in the “back” of the stamp should get less contrast and should also be grey their tone. Notice how that helps the front flowers pop a little more? Now, I don’t have tons of markers, so I fake it. I use a W3 to color over the top. Try it sometime and let me know how it works.
And now that you are totally inspired to stamp from all the blogs :), did you see the challenge at Moxie Fab World? The challenge is called, “The Olympics of Stamping” in which you can submit stamped cards in the following themes: Birthday, Thank You, Thinking of You/Hello, Love, and Season’s Greetings. You have until Monday, March 8 to get your projects linked up with Mr. Linky. The winners will be announced on Wednesday, March 10.
The best part is, enter those fabulous creations for the challenge in the Paper Crafts Magazine Stamping Royalty contest going on now. For all the details click HERE. There are great prizes up for grabs, the chance to have your work published in the magazine, and a chance to get your name on the designer list for exclusive calls! Now that is a ton of winning and stamping!! Gotta love it! :)
thanks for stopping by! Whew! :)

Kimberly,
I have been watching just couldn't comment. I was ill for about 2 weeks. I am all better now and happy to be here. Congratulations on 12 cards. WOW! I saw them, but you know I peek for your name first? You go girl, it is wonderful and I personally don't think it could happen to a nicer, more giving gal.
I might( MIGHT) enter the blog hop card thing? Afraid of looking silly. But I won't be able to say I didn't try. Try not, do not! right?
Have a wonderful day and I am so happy for you. Wonderful cards as always. P.S. great tip btw. Thanks

Your card looks so nice. It is gorgeous.
the way you are working with "scene" images made it look easy and balanced... thanks for the inspiration.
I really like that stamp -- it's nice to have a whole "scene" in one stamp like that -- it makes me think a bit of pictures of the French countryside or subjects of Monet paintings.
Beautiful card this is my first time to be here,I be back again for sure!

Poppies are my favorite, they were in our back yard as a kid, and I can't get enough of them now. They just remind me of home. You did a fantastic job with the depth perception in coloring. Very nice! Thanks for sharing, your inspiration, and your tips!
Love those poppies! It's amazing what dimension is added when you "cut around and off the page."

I just purchased this exact issue!! I loved it because of the submarine image on the cover. My hubby is a submariner and I had to find out who made the stamp. The same day I found the magazine, my honey and I were in a great little stamp store called Stamps & Memories in Honolulu and my husband said, "look at that" and behold, there was the little submarine stamp. I was soooo excited. I'm so thrilled I came across this super cute stamp and great magazine. Thanks for sharing your wonderful blog hop... onto the next. :)
You have such a great blog and I love your work. :) Thanks so much for sharing.
Great card GREAT look I love it, colors and all are wonderful.
Love the rustic style card, reminds me of the art & craft era/style. Really super-cute.
Hello! Your coloring is stunning! As I've said before, I only own two copic markers, but thanks for inspiring me!
I love this card!
Cute card!!
Great tips for Copics (when I finally get some), and this card is amazing! Love the scene and your coloring is superb!
