Track Star

Welcome to my post for the QKR Stampede Challenge!

Our theme this week is "Back to School"

For this card I used

"Sneakers" (#12706) from QKR Stampede

I thought this card would be fun to send to someone who has just made the track team or tennis team or any athletic team.

I stamped the Sneakers image onto gray card stock and colored it with FlexMarkers.  The shoelaces were colored with white gel pen.

For the background I used Distress inks.

The "track" was made by running brown card stock through the Cuttlebug in an embossing folder and inking the raised areas with Distress ink.

Thanks for stopping by today.  I hope you will stop by the

QKR Stampede blog,

Someone is going to win a fun prize, maybe it will be you.

red rubber and digital format.

There is something for everyone, so stop in and see what you would like, never know, like I said, you could be our next winner.

Summer Celebration with the QKR Design Team

Welcome to the Kristie Kreates post for the

Summer Celebration with the QKR Stampede Design Team!

If you have just happened upon my blog and didn't start at the beginning of this summer celebration hop, you probably want to start at the beginning.  You won't want to miss any of the great inspiration and projects any of the design team ladies have posted.

If you have arrived here from Kristine's blog you are on the right track.  I'm sure you were inspired by her project!  Isn't she talented?!?!

For my project today, I have a card to share with you.  I used "Sneakers" (#12706) from QKR Stampede along with one of the 3-D images from Eureka! Stamps called "Butterfly Pattern" (#29401) Eureka! is a sister company of QKR Stampede.

Nothing says 'summer' to me more than walking barefoot in the grass and that is what inspired this card. 

I love the "Sneakers" image and thought it was perfect for a summer card.  It reminds me of being out of school for the summer and running through sprinklers to stay cool in the summer sun.

I stamped the image onto Kraft card stock and fussy cut it. 

For the grass I cut strips of green card stock from my scrap stash and then cut LOTS of little blades of grass, then layered the 'grass' onto the card.

The sneakers nestled into the grass and adhered with foam tape.

The butterfly is a wonderful 3-D image and I will post more with this image at another time. 

Be sure to stop by the stores and take a look at the many wonderful summer images they have at QKR Stampede and Eureka! Stamps.

Thanks for stopping by, now you will want to go to

Jessica's blog

and see what creative project she has to show you.

Feel free to leave me a comment and become a follower!

Until next time, Happy Crafting!

Sneakers

Hi all you people out there in bloggerland! 

When I saw Sneakers (#12706) in the QKR Stampede store, I loved it right away.  Maybe it was that it reminds me of my son and his not so small feet, I don't know, but I loved this image and had to have it.

I had to pair it with this argyle paper from TaDa Creative Studio, as Jaryd loves argyle.  I know the argyle is running sideways, but does it really make a difference?  I like it anyway, LOL!

The houndstooth is the other side of this wonderful TaDa patterned paper.

I saw this style of card somewhere on the net and thought it was pretty neat and wanted to try it out. I think it turned out pretty nice. The over all size of the closed card is 4" x 4" and it opens diagonally.

Inside there is a pocket that holds a little note card where any sentiment can be added. This pocket is also a great place to put a gift card or some cash for the recipient.

Thanks for stopping by today.  Why not hop on over to QKR Stampede and see what images you have to have?

Leave me a comment and let me know what you think of this style of card.

Until next time, Happy Crafting!
