Penguin with Candy Cane...

Heather's Hobbie Haven - Penguin with Candy Cane Card Kit

Yeah I made it just in time..
Christmas card number 4.
If your doing the kits along with me this will make 12 Christmas cards done up and 
ready to mail out the end of November.
Yippie!

Penguin with Candy Cane

The pretty paper is Simple Stories - Handmade Holiday
and the for the snow I used some
Stampendous Shaved Ice.

I'm really liking the May Arts wrinkled ribbon I used. 
I may have to get more colors of that.
I tied the bow on after I attached the ribbon to the front of the card.
So it slides up and down.
Worked out perfect so I could move it into place.

Head over and grab a kit and color along with me.
Remember I only made a limited number of kits when they are gone they are gone.

Have a great day!

So you can pick them up and not break the bank.


There are 3 new ShinHan Marker colors this month.

It is another great red ShinHan Markers color combo though.
This makes number 4.

June Monthly Card Kits - Claudia Has a Candy & Ava Loves to Celebrate

Wow can you believe we are on the June Monthly Card Kits already.
This month's kits feature Stamping Bella Uptown Girls.
I kept both cards simple this month.
Both in the layout and the coloring.
The stamps are fairly large and take up most of the room.
Both are super fun to color!

First is the Water Coloring Monthly Card Kit.

Heather's Hobbie Haven - Claudia Has A Candy Card Kit

I drew the swirls on the lollipop.
Then after I colored it I added stickles and glossy accents.
The cute sentiment comes with the stamp. 

Heather's Hobbie Haven - Claudia Has A Candy Card Kit

Next is the Copic Coloring Monthly Card Kit

Heather's Hobbie Haven - Ava Loves To Celebrate Card Kit

This one doesn't come with a sentiment, but I made one up on the computer for it.
Or you could search your stash for one to add.

Heather's Hobbie Haven - Ava Loves To Celebrate Card Kit

This month's kits both come with a small sample of DecoArt Glamour Dust.
Which I used to add sparkle to both dresses.
I'll share how I did that in the video's.

I'll be shooting both video's today.
If all goes well and sending out links to purchaser's.
So keep a look out.

Head over to the store and grab a kit or both and color along with me.

Li'l Montana Card Kit...

Heather's Hobbie Haven - Li'l Montana Card Kit

I know I'm suppose to be working on the June Monthly Card Kits,
but I had all the water coloring stuff out and this cutie was sitting on my desk..
So I had to color her up.


I have been wanting to try out the new La La Land Crafts Die: Fancy Bracket Die
I love how it lets you choose how big your piece can be.
So your not stuck with a small cut out piece.
You just cut your edge and then trim your piece to the size you want it.

Tilda with Tag Gifts Card Kit...

Heather's Hobbie Haven - Tilda with Tag Gifts Card Kit

This lucky Tilda  with Tag Gifts has made it out of the color box..
I have so many in there it's so sad.

I found my Nellie Snellen punches when I was digging around in the punch box and decided I would make some flowers for this card.
The punches are really cool because they punch them out and then another punch embosses them.
But after 162 flowers I'm not thinking they are that great any more.. :O)
But they do make wonderful punched flowers.

I stamped the sentiment on the card with the My Favorite Things - Essential Sentiments Set.
It DOES NOT come in the kit.
The clouds are blank so you can add your own sentiment.

Heather's Hobbie Haven - Tilda with Tag Gifts Card Kit

Time to start the June Monthly Card Kits.
Pick out the Switchin' It Up image (you can suggest one and I'll look in the color box if you'd like).

Have a wonderful day.

Wee Love You Bunches Card Kit...

Heather's Hobbie Haven - Wee Love You Bunches Card Kit

So when I pulled this cute 


Image from the color box I knew it would have to have fun super bright colors.
I think I did a pretty good job of picking the bright colors.
I started with the striped pattern paper and picked all the colors from that.

The paper is Fancy Pants - Hopscotch.

I found the bright pretty flowers in my stash by luck.
I'm not sure I'll have enough of each of those colors for all the kits
so flower colors will vary, but all be bright and pretty and from the same package.



And the coloring tutorial.
Have fun watching..


Thanks for stopping in.
I hope you are having a fabulous day!
