Summer Fun and Kittie Kits Blog Candy

The Limited Supply Challenge on SCS today is to create a card representing summer and using limited layers and embellishments.  I didn’t have to look far to find some fun images to create a summer beach scene.  Nothing says summer to me like sand dunes, sea oats, a lighthouse and the ocean. I found all those images in my newly released Kittie Kits Fun in the Sun set found at Rubbernecker Stamps.


I masked off the border of my Fabriano 5″ x 5″ note card. I stamped the light house with Versafine black and watercolored with Distress Fired Brick and SU Going Grey.  I sponged on Distress Antique Linen for the sand dune area and then stamped the small sea oats around the scene with Adirondack Lettuce. I filled in the sand texture with small dune images. I masked off the sky area with a strip of paper and sponged below it to create the water line with Cool Caribbean. I removed the mask and created the sky by sponging on lighter shades of Cool Caribbean and using a hand cut piece of scalloped watercolor paper as a cloud template. I lightly filled in the sky with a light shade of Banana and then stamped the gulls in black ink. I removed the border masks and applied a simple grosgrain ribbon for embellishment. I love the outcome of this project.

  1. WOW….lovely card!
    I love the Beach one best b/c I have a *thing* for lighthouses…never lived near one, so I am not sure why??? Must be my Irish love of the sea creeping in! 🙂

  3. We have to choose? How can I do that? They’re both so wonderful! I’m sitting here right now going back and forth between the two. I love them both. Maybe I’ll choose the outdoor master because I love trees, but what about the great fences in the beach master and those great sand plants? I’m lost, Kittie. Both of the sets are fabulous!

  4. I love your blog! My favorite Kittie Kit is the Outdoor kit because it can be used for any season, very versitle. I can see it being used for summer, fall, etc. Lots of uses for it!

  5. Hi Kittie. Thanks for the opportunity to win. I really like both, but I think the outdoor would edge out the beach just because of the trees. I have been looking at the gorgeous trees that you make time and again on your posts and they are beautiful. So I think that would be the first that I would choose. I also was looking at the evergreens you made the other day and that one is right up there too! I sense before too long, I will own them all!

  6. Great card, Kittie. I love your work! I would most like to have ANY of your sets but if I have to choose I guess it would be Cause a scene outdoor because it could be used for all seasons. Thanks for the opportunity to win one of your great sets.

  7. Hi Kittie. Thanks for this great giveaway. I would have to say that I would love to have the beach scene as I adore the beach and everything associated with it. You have done a terrific job with your sets.

  8. Ooh, I love them both for different reasons, but since I am longing for our beach vacation the end of this month. I think I would probably choose the Beach Master. Thanks so much for a chance to win. These are all on my wish list for my DH to buy me. 🙂 Kelly

  9. I love your scene beach because I have always loved the beach. It would be so much fun to have this and make better scenes with those beach themed stamps I already have….plus it would just be so much fun to play with. I love this lighthouse card you have created too, Kittie!

    Reply
  10. OOOH – What a pretty card! I have always admired your talent at creating scenes with such detail…Thank you for the opportunity to win such a nice piece of blog candy! Though I love them both, I would have to say that the Outdoor Master is my favorite of the two. I live in Ohio and green leafy trees are all around! Though I love the beach, my heart belongs to the northeast!

  12. Well, Kittie, it’s tough to choose because they’re both on my list, but I think I will use the Outdoor Master more, thus would like that one better. This is mainly because here in Wisconsin, we don’t get too much summer! Thank you for the chance to win! Lovin’ your sets!

  13. Definately, the beach scene! I love the beach – the water, the sand, the tranquility! I love your work, Kittie. Congrats on getting your own line of stamps.

  14. well I really love them both, but I guess I’d pick the beach scene as my favorite, but I can’t say why because Idon’t know! It just speaks to me more.

    Reply
  15. Are you kidding? We really have to choose? Hmmmm…. I guess I lean towards the beach scene just a bit. Being from Maine, this is just perfect for me – we live 15 min from the beach. Thanks for the awesome chance to win- Maybe I will get lucky as the drawing date is my anniversary!!!!

  16. Another fabulous card Kittie. All of the kits are awesome, I just can’t make up my mind which ones to get. You know me and my love of lighthouses; plus I flunked the fence/tree drawing class. 😉 Passed the watercolor mini class though. lol

  17. I recently found you and LOVE your creations. The Moose on the Loose set just cracks me up. I love the cabin scenes and expressive animals. Thanks for the chance to win and keep up the great work. You inspire me!

  18. Ohhhhh this is a hard decision! I would say I would prefer the outdoor set. I love creating these scenes to go with the stamps that I have.

  19. Oh Kittie, whoda thunk when you started making scenes for us in your beautifully unique style that it would lead to this wonderful time and place. My DH heard and repeated a quote to the effect: “find something you love to do and you’ll never WORK a day in your life!!!” I’m sure lovin’ what you do. As for your kits–ALL full of possibilities. As for the offered choices, that coveted “mini fern” on the Outdoor Master is for me the “signature” must have for creating a la Kittie–it is just the beginning…

    Reply
  20. Pick only one??? I guess it would have to be the beach set. But those trees in the outdoor set might just help me make trees that look somewhere close to yours. I love all your sets and examples.

  21. Kittie–just curious, did you study art professionally…you are just awesome at coloring. Thanks for sharing so much with so many….lots of useful info…always!!

I have not had time to try out my sets yet, but hope to soon. Thanks for sharing with.

  27. Great scene, everytime I see lighthouses I think of my sister 🙂 I would have to say the kit I would like most is the outdoor master, reasoning….I think it is a set I could use year around and get the most use out of it!

    Reply
  28. Kittie I love and want all your sets but would love to start with the Outdoor Master because I have always loved the scene cards you made with trees. I also love the set with the moose. I recently moved to an area where I might really see one! Your blog is always a must read for me because I love all your work. Thanks for giving us a chance to win one of your wonderful sets.

  29. You’re incredibly talented. The cause a scene sets are so versatile and unique. I have a lot of beach images so I think the beach scene master would compliment them so well. But the outdoor master is on my wish list. Thanks for sharing your talent and awesome blog candy.

  30. What a wonderful scene! The lighthouse is perfect! I had a look at your scene kits yesterday after I saw what Jeanne S had done with one. I think they’re so sweet and fun and full of possibilities! I really do think they are all wonderful, especially all the beach sets, but the one I have my heart set on is the Fun in the Sun #6 because it includes the Adirondack chair. I love the look, and the design of chairs! I think an empty chair is so inviting in so many ways!
    Thanks for the chance to win!

  32. hhhmmmm, hard to pick just one but I guess it would be the Outdoor Master. I am lousy at drawing my own trees and landscaping….wait a minute, I’m lousy at drawing anything!!!! I always admire your cards but I need this stamp set to case yours!!! hehehe

    Reply
  33. Wow, hard choice! I guess I would have to say the outdoor scene, since I can’t draw a tree worth a dime! But I love them both!!! Oh, to win would be divine! Good luck, everyone! 😀

  34. You want me to pick just one as a favorite?! They are all beautiful and if I HAD to choose, I would probably go with the beach scene just because that is where I would like to be. Love your blog and your creativity.

  35. Both sets look fun! However, the outdoor master is one I could see myself using most. I don’t live anywhere near a beach, but I live near trees and I love trees!

    Reply
  36. Kittie, I love your Kittie Scenes. We are on a trip right now but I’ve been drooling over them since they were first released. I love all of them but because I enjoy being near water I would have to say that the beach kit is my favorite.

    Reply
  37. I just love these kits but if I had to choose which one I liked best it would have to be the Outdoor Master as I live on a wooden lot and just love trees.

  38. Love your blog. Been surfin around on it and just love your creative style.
    WOW I love all the sets.
    Pick only 1..um..I’m going with the Kittie Kit Cause a Scene On The Ranch #3. Why you guess. I have a lot of kids I make cards and altered items for and this is a great set for a girl or boy. Plus you can even you this for any age. Thanks for a chance.

  39. I love everything you do,as you well know! I wouls like the outdoor starting kit I think, but would love ANY of them.

  40. Hi Kittie,
    What a dilemma! How to choose a favorite Kittie Kit? I am having a difficult time deciding. I love them all. I guess if I have to choose one I would start with the Outdoor Master because of all the possibilities it offers for various scenes. Thanks for giving all of us the opportunity for one of your kits.

    Reply
  41. Kitty! Both are really kool! It’s hard to choose…but, if I had to pick only one, I would pick the Beach Master! Not that I’m influenced by the your card today — so ok, really I am. I love the possibilities to create ocean scenes with that kit… Thanks for the opportunity!!
    Take care and STAY POSITIVE!

  42. Well, they’re both in my cart waiting to fit into my budget — but I definitely want the beach one first! Mary

  43. Gosh, what a hard decision! They are both great sets. I guess I would have to say Outdoor Master. I think it would be more useable year round. Thanks for the chance at such great blog candy. Whoever wins is gonna love it!

  46. Kittie I have admired your cards on SCS for 2 years now. I have cased several of your cards and have tried drawing the tree and fence. They sure didn’t look like yours.I would pick the Outdoor Master because it has a tree and fence. I would love to win this blog candy!

    Reply
  47. I love both sets, but the Beach Master is the one that I have to say is my favorite. I just can’t believe how realistic the scenes are when using these sets! Thanks for the chance to win!

    Reply
  48. Kitty, I continue to be amazed by your art! The lighthouse scene is wonderful! I especially enjoyed the card you posted a day or so ago with the three evergreen trees as a focal point. The trees come from “The Moose is Loose”, which is my favorite Kitty Kit. Thanks for sharing your art and the opportunity for blog candy.

    Reply
  49. wow Kittie,
    I just saw these for the first time after I saw a car dof yours on splitcoast. I would love the beach master set first because you can create so many “dunes” type of settings with it but mostly because it “spoke to me fist”. Have a nice day

  50. I just found you and have spent over an hour looking at your amazing work. Thanks for sharing it! I love both Kittie Kits, but especially the outdoor one. I have a thing for trees LOL

  53. I hadn’t heard of those before but they are adorable! It’s hard to choose but I think I would like to have the Out Door Master because I could use it for different seasons just by changing the color of the leaves, and I love to do Autumn leaves.

  54. I would have to say the outdoor set. Your stamps are awesome. I just got some and can’t wait to use them. Thanks for the chance for blog candy.

  55. I would definitely love to have The Moose is Loose set because I live in Colorado and I have an obsession with Moose! 😀 I actually have been eyeing it for quite some time now. If I don’t win, I may just have to purchase it! 😉 Thanks for the chance!

  56. Kittie,
    Your lighthouse card is awesome. Absolutely beautiful.
    I would definitely say that I’d prefer the Beach Master set. Why? That’s easy–I love the beach and stamping/scrapping beach scenes. Your sets have endless possibilities!
    Thanks for offering blog candy.

  57. oh my, I feel so silly! I picked a wrong set in my first post!
    I would definitely love to own the Beach Scene set, as I live overlooking the ocean, this would be perfect for creating those awesome scenes!
    Thank you again for the chance, and I am so sorry for 2 posts!

  60. I love your lighthouse card. Thanks for the directions on how you painted the sky. I always have problems in making the sky look realistic. I plan to keep your directions for the next time I need to paint a sky.
    It’s hard to choose between either the beach scene and the outdoors because I enjoy being in both places. But I think I’ll choose the outdoor scene!
    Thanks for this opportunity to win one of your kits!

    Reply
  65. My favorite set of all is In My Garden#1 followed closely by the Outdoor Master and On The Beach#4(I like the bathing beauties-lots of possibilities for friendship cards). But, the outdoor sets are tops on my list because I have always liked the gardening-type stamps to color and I really miss that so many companies have gotten away from images such as these. Thanks for keeping those of us who love to color and paint busy!

  66. I would love the outdoor scene Kitty Kit! Why? Hmmm…maybe because I want to make beautiful outdoor scenes just like Kitty! My drawing talents are negligible, but this would make it so easy (hopefully!)

    Love the masked off border on your card – will have to try this technique.

  78. Kittie – I had such a hard time making up my mind…. Beach or Out Door…. Trees or sand??? Hmmmmmm…. well since I don’t really have any beach stamps I would say…Beach Master and What’s for Lunch – Love the little birds (poor fishies…).
    The beach one would find a good home with me!!!

    You aren’t gonna make this easy, are you?? I’ve changed my mind about 5 times now (let’s just say I LOVE them all), but I think I’m going to say “The Moose is Loose #2”. I think it looks like a fun, whimsical set with many possibilities!! Ok… I NEED that set!!

    I can’t wait to get all of these super stamps and get them all inky!

  85. ummm, tough one – they are both neat – I think I would say the Kittie Kits Beach Master set. We love the beach – it is so calming – seems to me that it would make nice cards.
