Hello everyone. Today marks the April release from The Colorado Craft Company. I have a video showing off most of the NEW products as well as a little card project for you.

I guess I did a good job.

As for this card, I used the NEW Dad's cooking stamp set. I watercolored it with some Daniel Smith Watercolors and adorned it with a few sentiment strips. "Now you're cooking!" is from the same Dad's Cooking stamp set from the Three C's release.
I added a piece of patterned paper in a wonky fashion, mostly because I stamped my image on an odd size piece of paper. No worries, I think it looks cool in spite of my error. Keep scrolling for an added list of supplies for this card.
I hope I was able to inspire you to create today. Make sure to check out all of the featured designers and enter into the giveaway.
No wonder your daughter snapped up the card and ran. So cute. The make a wish cracks me up because my mama would have said "Don't blow on that and spread those weeds". [Bunny]
The first card is just CAS perfect and the second reminds me of those '60s diners. Thank you for sharing your creative cards! The Proud of You set is my fave!
Koren, well, auto correct changed your name three times!! Isn't that a pain?? Well anyway, love your awesome cards!! Especially the chef cat, great design and love the colors!! I hope your family is well. I've been off the circuit for awhile. It's good to see your fabulous work again!!
Both cards are fabulous, but I love the simplicity of the first card! Love the stamps you used, but my favorite stamp set is the Amazing Mom Mother’s Day one with the kids and stroller. Reminds me of days gone by!
It was a challenge to find your comment section on your blog and I really wanted to share with you how much I loved your cards. Especially the chef with the checkered triusers!!
Cute cards! The white embossed is so simple but creative and I love how you colored the chef cat! This is such a great release-my favorite new set is Proud of You.
Love the embossed mouse on the black. Fantastic idea and so clever. the minimal coloring on the chef is a great idea - shows up so well. thanks for sharing txmlhl(at)yahoo(dot)om
Oh My Gosh! This whole Colorado Craft Company release is so uplifting, and what do we need more than anything right now...but the Love Art set really captures the feeling of fellowship and community we share as artists and papercrafters, so if I have to choose, this one is my fave. (I'll be getting all of them, though) Great job on the card!
Love Art has to be my favourite.... but your version with the Make a Wish mini, makes me wish I had bought one more item before I checked out earlier to take my total over $100
Hi! Thanks for the opportunity to win a gift card from Colorado Crafts! My favorite stamp set is the Father’s Day w/ little one bouncing on daddy’s belly because it reminds me of when our son was younger & he & daddy would wrestle nightly!! I heard a lot of laughing from both ! Wonderful memories we all cherish!! Many Blessings, Tina Wetzel
Your cards are adorable. This is an amazing release from CCC and Anita Jeram! you did a great job. My favorite stamp sent is Love Art, but I love it all!!! Thanks for sharing!
Oh my...your 1st card was something I hadn't even thought to do with these stamps!!!! I absolutely LOVE Anita Jeram stamps and have all of them from the very 1st release. You have just opened a whole new way to use them! Thanks for the inspiration!!!!
I'd love to make a wish.... done! This is such a heart warming fun release, just ask your smart daughter, that cook stamp is fun and I love the wonky papers... look at those pants tee hee. Fun cards well done!
What adorable cards!! Love the fun sprinkles on the 'Make a Wish' card and all those wonderful layers on the second!! Thanks so much for the great inspiration! Stay safe! :)
That first card is CAS perfection, and I'm loving how you matched the cats pants to the patterned paper in the second. My favorite of the new sets is Proud of You.
I love the way you colored your cards. They are so bright and cheerful. I think that my favorite stamp set in this release is dad's cooking. The two little kitties remind me of my twin boys. Thank you for sharing your cards.
I can't believe I didn't find any comments on such an adorable release! I LOVE 3C and AJ's adorable critters, especially the mice (my nickname is "Mouse") Thanks for sharing your cards!
I love that Make A Wish! Your Papa Chef reminds me of my husband who is new to cooking. What he lacks in knowledge he makes up for in flair! Love the bright cafe look. Fun.
Two adorable cards showcasing this fabulous new release. I especially love the "for dad" set even though they are all utterly cute. This little mice on your first card is so sweet and love how you did the dandelion. Thanks so much for sharing !
Cute cards! Love the simplicity of the white embossing on the charcoal card - fun detail with the shaker element!! I can see why your daughter took the card ;-)
Great video on how you created that cute Make A Wish card. I will have to give your method of creating that shaker and the Puff embossing powder...so cute!
Hello. My name is Koren Wiskman, but many people call me Kori. My husband Tim and I run two businesses and have four kids. If this doesn’t immediately scream insanity, just keep reading…Tim and I grew up in the same waterfront town of Pasadena, Maryland. We graduated High School together in 1998, and about 15 years later we started dating. It would make an excellent love story, but we are not quite finished writing it yet. I became a Mother almost 20 years ago with my daughter Cailin. I’ve been crafting since birth but I discovered stamping when I was pregnant with my first son Hayden over 18 years ago. I fell in love and I have been card making ever since. Since then my joy for paper crafting has grown right along with my family. I now have a step-daughter Olivia who will be 13 this year. You can find me on YouTube and many of the popular social media sites. Thats where you will also meet Dexter my youngest, he is seven, and he is the perfect combination of me and Tim. See many of our family outings and shenanigans as well as plenty of crafting goodness.
