Genevieve Explores The World

Hey guys, I thought I would show you a card I did recently using one of my favourite Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps Genevieve. I got her from Quixotic Paperie a while ago and have been wanting to ink her up for ages and just had not got around to it until this card.

I've added a bit of inking and corrugated card, also add a bit of stitching and some French knots in the bottom right had corner, you might have to click on the picture to see them.

Isn't she fab?

Have a great day.

Kim

Kraftin Kimmie Stamps: Fred & Ginger

It's no secret that I am absolutely in love with Annie Rodrigue's latest Moonlight Whispers designs for Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps!  This one is no exception, in fact I think it may actually be my favourite (for today anyway).

Meet Fred & Ginger!

Fabulous, no?  And of course, utterly spooktacular! 

The yummy papers?  Echo Park Happy Halloween, also available at Quixotic Paperie.  I added a bow tied with the Bow-Easy template and topped with a Prima Jewel Flower Centre!

If you're looking for a spooky fix, you will find a selection of Halloween themed/suitable products conveniently gathered in the Halloween Shop section at http://www.quixoticpaperie.co.uk/

Quixotic Paperie: New Paper Makeup Stamps, Cosmo Cricket & Graphic 45

It's the weekend!  Hooray!

Friday has brought with it even more yummy stash.  Good job, because the weather is miserable, and I needed cheering up!  Brace yourselves, this is a fairly long post, but it does contain lots of eye candy!

Before I tell you about all the new goodies, just a quick reminder!

Orders placed at Quixotic Paperie this weekend will not dispatch until Tuesday 24th August.

Free P&P on all orders over £25 within the UK placed between now and the evening of Monday 23rd August.

*** Moody for Kitties ***

Firstly I have the latest stamps from the fabulous Paper Makeup Stamps for you!  I ADORE the Paper Makeup Stamps range.  From fab fairies to sensational sentiments and sets, there's something in there for everyone!  I've got some of these new designs sitting on my desk right now, waiting to be coloured up over the weekend.  I'm particularly in love with Carter the Dino Fairy.  Dinosaurs are another of my odd little obsessions.

*** Leigh Fairy ***

Our lovely Simonne has already been playing with some of the new stamps, as a Guest DT for Paper Makeup Stamps!  The samples shown here are her gorgeous creations!

 

Today has also seen the arrival of the latest Cosmo Cricket 6x6 Mini Decks.  Delish, as always!

Finally, I have two new 8x8 pads from the wonderful Graphic 45: Steampunk Debutante and Christmas Past Deluxe Edition.  These are utterly gorgeous.

Quixotic Paperie: New Prima Marketing Inc & Echo Park

I've just taken delivery of a very cheery couple of boxes of crafty stash!  Perfect to brighten this otherwise miserable August day!

What did I find inside?

The fabulous new Echo Park - Happy Halloween Collection Kit.  I think I say this every time, but I LOVE this.  I'm feeling very Halloween/Autumn at the moment, but really the majority of papers in this kit could be used for other themes, so don't feel tied to Halloween!  The prints are also perfect for cardmaking.  Did I mention that I LOVE it? ;-) Perfect to team up with those spooky new Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps designs and the latest C.C. Designs Sweet November stamps too!

 

Prima Marketing Inc. Craftables Flowers.  These are gorgeous packs of white flowers, ready for you to put your own stamp on them.  Quite literally, as along with them I have the Prima Paintables clear stamps to help you customise using markers, paints, inks, whatever!  These look like great fun, I'm looking forward to a little playtime with them later!

Last but most definitely not least on the new additions for today - Prima Marketing Inc. 6x6 Paper Pads!  All six of the new paper pads are here and they are super sweet!

I also have restocks of the popular Bazzill Basics Jewel Templates and yummy Prima Lace.

Happy Tuesday!

Quixotic Paperie: Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps Kreepy August Release!

I do love Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps release day!  There are always some fantastic images to share, and this month is no exception.  Kimmie and artist Annie Rodrigue have gone all spooky!  Perfect for Halloween projects, or, for those of you that have a slightly dark and twisty side like me!

Prince Edward Island - *New* Mo Manning Rubbah Release

I wanted to let you know about another release of Mo Manning rubba now available at Quixotic Paperie. There is a great selection and variety in this new release.....summer, Christmas, vintage and my fav of all is 'Prince Edward Island' and is based on the character Anne of Green Gables, which a child was my favourite ever film.

I must dig them out again and rewatch.I have coloured the image with prisma pencils and gone for some more demure colours.

The papers are from the deliciously vintage Basic Grey 'Capella' 6x6 pad. The brown Prima lace is very vintagey and was just perfect for this card.I also added a Tim Holtz Adage Ticket, along with a kraft flower made with retro flower punches. The edges have been distressed with Tea Dye Distress Ink and then given a good scrunch and finished off with a pearl brad.
Thanks for stopping by!

I love the feeling that I've actually created something myself as I'm not very artistic at all. As to what keeps me excited? Visiting my favourite craft stores to see and drool over all the new goodies!
