Hello hello Friends, How are you today!! Wow! How has it come to be day 29 already? The last week of The 30 Day Coloring Challenge is full of giveaways and today I have a giveaway from Winnie & Walter! YAY!!
It’s truly an honor to be a guest designer on the Winnie & Walter blog sharing their awesome new release.
The W&W stamp sets are 6×8 and are chock full of stamps in each set. If you look closely I did a bad job stamping but, just ran with it. I picked two colors for my background to hide my messy stamping. (haste = waste)
This one was to be cut out and layered. In the final card I added some flower soft to the centers and lots of white dots with the one and only white gel pen.
Seriously I LOVE holly and these poinsettias are beautiful! Swoon!
I have been popping a large sentiment on my cards for over a year and have always cut layers and layers. Today I tried the fun foam that Jennifer McGuire uses and that foam was dreamy and sooo much faster. You might want to add it to your wish list it’s a must have. 🙂
I have a SNEAK PEEK OF TWO OTHER PROJECTS below. You can see the full tags and card at the Winnie & Walter Blog here.
My set of five tags gave each leaf stamp center stage. I used some rock candy to add a beautiful crystalized glitter to each tag. The vellum was had cut to add a different element on the tags. I hope you like them.
Love love love leaves! See the full set at the Winnie & Walter blog.
Lots of great product on my card and more rock candy on the bow. The leaves didn’t pop right out of the wreath so I colored them, flipped it over and added glossy accents at the bottom of the leaves to hold them in place that way I could flip up the tips once the glue dried.
GIVEAWAY: Winnie & Walter is giving away a $25.oo gift code to their store. All you need to quality is add your name on the list below.

Oh my, this poinsettia is just beautiful, Kathy … LOVE those tags … delicate, soft, dreamy … and that wonderful wreath … yum! Anita 🙂
Swooning over your beautiful card…the poinsettia is stunning!

I love your poinsettia card and the tags. Pretty, pretty, pretty.
I discovered the fun foam tip a while back and love it, too. It cuts so easily, is so inexpensive and comes in many colors. I even found some that, for a few cents more, was adhesive backed. I saw another tip recently….instead of foam, use coaster board. It does seem it would be a bit sturdier, but I haven’t personally tried it yet. I substituted with the cardboard back off a paper pad instead and it worked.
Anyway….love your cards and tags thanks for all your ideas. Have a great day!
I love your coloring on the poinsettia! Just perfect! I have a question, did you mask to make the blue background? What did you use? Thanks for sharing your awesome talent.
Such a great cards Kathy, I love it! I have admired winnie&walter products but with so many new products coming out all the time it’s hard to decide what to spend a limited budget on. Maybe your give away might give some lucky person the chance to try their lovely products. Thanks for doing the challenge this my first time being a part of it.
Your tags are so original Kathy! They really stand out over there amongst the other samples. Very elegant!
You Rock, Kathy! These projects are stunning!!! ♥
This is so beautiful, love the blue!!!
All great projects, Kathy! Your coloring on the poinsettia card looks simply amazing!!
Just beautiful Kathy. I love the holidays with all the wintery cards and beautiful colors.
WOW totally out of sight. This card is magnificent. I love love love the colors, did I say love. The dimension is awesome. It makes me want to start collecting copics again to color.
Just beautiful!
I wish I had coloring skills like this.

Sigh… it’s stunning Kathy!!! Makes me wanna colour all day long! Oh wait… most days I do! LOL!!!

I like the tags a lot too. Caught the button on the ribbon, that’s a neat technique. Thanks!
Soooo insanely gorgeous Kathy; I LOVE THIS, those white dots are the bomb and you do amazing backgrounds. Thanks for sharing your talent with us!!
PS – find that bone folder? :-/
I’ve always loved the Winnie and Walter stamps when I see people using them, but I haven’t been able to get my own yet. This would be a WONDERFUL excuse to do a little shopping!
GORGEOUS!!! Love that poinsettia and your coloring, of course! The white really POPS as does that fabulous dimensional sentiment, looooooove that look! I could get lost here on your blog for days, so much creativity and pretty things to look at…..let my Hubby know where I am lol
Your cards are so beautiful. I love the popped up peace a how it the image carries right over it. You are so truly talented. Thank you for sharing all these great creations with us.
I really love the Poinsettias. Beautiful card Kathy. I like the colors.
Stunning! I always admire your coloring.
Beautiful! Love the poinsettia and the holly and the gorgeous blue background.
Super pretty projects Kathy. Your cards and tags are lovely with all that sweet glitter on them. Thanks for sharing.
Just a stunning card! I just love the Poinsettias and your coloring of course is so beautiful.
Love that poinsettia, and the vibrant coloring, and the popped out sentiment- in short , love the whole shebang! Thanks for inspirations!
Gorgeous! gorgeous! gorgeous! LOVE your poinsettia card and your colour choices are fabulous. I never colour my backgrounds solid like you have – but I’m going to have to try it as i love the effect! Thanks for your beautiful inspiration!
Wow! Super beautiful! Love this… I’m off to see W&W now :o)
Amazing, Kathy, each project has your meticulous and loving touch. It goes without saying that the coloring is masterful, as always, but the clever designs of them knocked off my socks. Those tags had me drooling, the vellum being the perfect addition. Then the dark blue background on the poinsettia is unusual and striking. Then that wreath, let’s just say, I could go on for days. You’ve made these new products from W&W come to life in the best way possible.
I can’t believe you’re on day 29 either!!!! WHERE has the time flown off to? I have been meaning to join you more this month too! I have been busy with 25 little ones here…..so, that is the reason for my absence! Your cards are GORGEOUS KATHY!!!!!!!!!!!! WOW! I need to make a card here too & have been thinking of making the sentiment pop up the way you’ve done on your card….thanks for the heads up about the fun foam! 😉 AND I looked over at W&W to see more…. GORGEOUS AGAIN!!!! WOW!!!!!!!!!!!! SUPER JOB!!!!! LOOOVE the silvery flecks!!!! (“Rock Candy?”) I LOOOVED seeing EVERYONE’S CREATIONS TOO!!! THANKS KATHY!!!!!!!!!!! 😉
Your card is beautiful…!!!
That Peace card is so stunning, I would leave it out as art, all year long. Gorgeous!!!
Beautiful card. I love the popped up words.
Your card is drop dead GORGEOUS, Kathy!! I’m a huge fan of Winnie & Walter (probably my top favorite of all the stamp companies), and it’s so excited to see you designing for their new release!!
JUST linked up something I’ve been meaning to post for this challenge!!!! 😉 HOPE you like Kathy! 😉
I am new to the popped up die cut words, but I really love it and using fun foam is genius! Gotta try it!
LOOOOOOOVE that first card, Kathy! The beautiful flowers against that scrumptious blue are gorgeous!
Gorgeous card Kathy!
Beautiful card Kathy! I’m going right over to check out the tags!

O.M.Wow! That is so cool! 🙂
Wow what a stunning poinsettia! I love how you created dimension with the flower and sentiment. Need to try the fun foam.
Absolutely gorgeous!
Breathtaking Poinsettia!!! Love the tags and wreath!
Gorgeous and amazingly beautiful card!
Gorgeous poinsettia!! The background really makes the flower stand out. Absolutely love the dimensional “Peace” sentiment.
Gorgeous card, Kathy, as always! Looking forward to catch up with this October challenge. Your work is marvelous, both inspiring and educational. Thank you very, very much for your generosity. Cheers!
Beautiful card. Love the background and i, too, love holly and poinsettias. Your coloring is wonderful and I like the white dots! Nice design. TFS
Kathy, you card today is absolutely beautiful.
GORGEOUS!!! GORGEOUS!!! GORGEOUS!!! Your project’s today blew me away, Kathy. Thank you for sharing your creativity with us. hugs
Beautiful! I would love a large poinsettia stamp and die set. Most of the ones I have are too small. I don’t know if I would have thought of a blue background, but it is most effective. I love the effect of the popped up sentiment as well. Another one out of the park.
Beautiful and I love fun foam…it’s the best!
Kathy, you are incredibly inspiring. The poinsettia flooded me with wonderful memories of my mom, who loved them dearly. The Winnie & Walter new releases are presented awesomely by you. Every element of every project you create, not only inspires me, but floods me with the incredible memories you are creating. I am honored to be a part of your wonderful challenges and pop ups and all the wonderful blog hops you participate in. Thank you for all you do. ~M~
The poinsettia and holly are gorgeous on that bright blue background, Kathy. I love the thickness of your die cut sentiment. Yes, I’ll be getting more fun foam.
Gorgeous. The deep rich blue background with the subtle sentiment is fab. The wreath and tags are fab too 🙂
Just beautiful!
Thanks for the tips, Kathy. x
Wow, stunning cards. Love how you added the fun foam.
What beautiful cards Kathy! Your coloring skills always astound me!
I am in love with that Poinsettia card. Thank you, Kathy!
WOW! I love how you made the faulty stamped image work! I always love to say that there are no mistakes in stamping. You can always do something to fix it. Thanks for the inspiration. 😀
I love the poinsettia card!! I couldn’t even tell where you messed up on the stamping even after you said you did! Thanks for all of the inspiration.
To say this card is gorgeous would be an understatement. I think this has to be one of my absolute most favorite of all your cards I’ve seen (& that’s a lot.)
I love the first card! So simple, but so pretty! I have used the larger die cut words but never thought to use fun foam to raise them! I have always die cut several layers of white paper and then glued them together. I will have to give this a try! Your tags are so cute, and I like the second card too! Thanks so much for sharing!
Lovely card Kathy! I really need to try the inlay technique you did with the sentiment.
the poinsetta stamp is lovely and the card is just beautiful – that background just makes it POP. . .
Beautiful colouring Kathy. I cant believe its nearly the end, ohhh no. Have so enjoyed your inspiration.
Hi Kathy!! Your Copic Coloring is so Beautiful!! It’s what has made me a long time follower of your blog. I love those gorgeous poinsettias. What a neat thing with the vellum on the leaf tags, the color combo is outstanding and something I would never think of. Another example of why I follow you. LOL I can’t wait to see the full reveal of those trees on the wreath card. I can’t believe were at the end of October, already?! I was so hoping to play every single day. I thank You for your amazing inspiration to color every day more than anything else! ((((crafty hugs))))
CONGRATULATIONS on being a Special Guest STAR for the Winnie & Walter new releases today Kathy 🙂
LOVE your tags and cards – WOW!!!
Your leaves are SO PRETTY, your layered wreath BEAUTIFUL and your poinsettias an ABSOLUTE DELIGHT – LOVE EVERYTHING about the design, colouring & dimension!!!
… I confess that I’m feeling a little sad that the month has flown by so fast and that today is the 2nd last day – I have enjoyed EVERY day and APPRECIATE all the time, effort, tips and INSPIRATION that you have so GENEROUSLY shared with us all month long – THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
So pretty just love he colors
WOW! It came out gorgeous! love the card – the background looks so wonderful and you know i love the white dots – you’re awesome sweet friend.
Oh no, day 29 already! I can’t believe the inspiration that I’ve been getting from all the coloring. I’ve been doing a lot of coloring, but haven’t really finished that much and it’s such a pain for me to post. Plus didn’t have internet for awhile so had to do lots of catch up! LOVE your big popped sentiments die cut from the background. I used to do the layers and layers too and then saw Jennifer’s post and smacked myself in the head! Gorgeous card with so much yummy dimension.
Wowie! Your colouring looks amazing! I love how you added the dots! The die-cut sentiment is fabulous! I need to try this! Thanks for another awesome giveaway! I think this will be my lucky challenge and I am excited about winning one of your giveaways!
Your posts are one of the highlights of my day. Thank you for your inspiration and for sharing your talent! I will miss your challenges until the next one! 🙂
Kathy, Beautiful card. I LOVE the way you do the “words” INTO your card like that, it is the coolest thing I have seen in card making. I don’t get how you make it look like it blends right into the card, but yet, “pop’s” off of it, WILD girl !!!! I am absolutely going to try that foam, thanks to you and Jennifer for that. And Thanks to Winnie & Walter for such and awesome giveaway, very generous. I LOVE how they called you ” Shockingly Talented”, WOW, what a great way to describe you, I couldn’t of said it better. And Thanks to you, I now am hooked on those famous white gel pens, lol, I purchase a couple every time I put in a order, hehe.
A great stamp set, made into a stunner with your skilled coloring!
Love this Kathy. It has so much impact, Simply stunning.
Gorgeous, as usual!!! Love the poinsettia card and tags!
Congratulations!!! Super excited for you, looking forward to the reveal!!
You inspire me!! These are gorgeous for so many reasons and your coloring is perfection!! Love these challenges!
Those purple leaves on the black background are just stunning. You keep making me want to try coloring backgrounds with Copics instead of just reaching for watercolors.
Your poinsettia looks amazing, Kathy. Absolutely love this new release by W&W. And to think i have vowed not to buy any new stamps for a while…

Love the poinsettias 🙂
I love Winnie and Walter! I’m glad to see you using them! They have beautiful flower stamps which I know we both love!!!
