We've got TWO new Krafty Stencils for this month's release to help add some funky flair to your creations!  

They are called....

SASSY SEASHELLS

and 

UNDERWATER SCENERY

(a 2 piece layering stencil!)

And.... if you need it all... 

We've got the July Gimmie Kimmies Kit! 

And don't forget our awesome Stamp Of The Month!! We have the fabulous Beach Happy stamp, which is FREE with your order of $75 or more before shipping/tax!  (while supplies last!)

So what do you think?! Do you LOVE it all?

It's so awesome how all of these stamp sets and the two stencils can be combined and used in so many fun ways!  

My card today uses the SASSY SEASHELLS stencil in two ways.  First, I created the background panel with some texture paste, then inked it and finally sprayed it with Dylusions glitter. 

The top panel was made with the left over spray that was on the stencil still.  I just laid the white cardstock panel over the top of the stencil and pressed it down.  I think it created a fun subtle pattern.  Then I added one of the super adorable little ladies from Mermaid Kisses and the starfish from Underwater Pals.  I wish you could see all the depth and texture on this card.  It turned out really lovely!

Thanks for taking the time to visit me today!

Now head on out on today's celebration blog hop and check out all the new products in action as the Krafty Team shares their incredible designs!  Then jump on over to the Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps shop and grab some of these fabulous goodies for yourself!

Critter Crazy Challenges - Challenge #64 - July 2022

 Hello crafty friends!

Welcome to the month of July 

(I can’t believe I’m saying that!).

This month I get the pleasure of being a

Guest Designer for July at

Critter Crazy Challenges! 

The theme for Challenge #64 is Anything Goes with a Critter.

That means that the star of your creation is a critter

- no humans please. 

If you’re like me you have lots of 

stamps if animals and critters. 

So I love this challenge because it gives 

me an excuse to use them! 

My card features a couple adorable critters from

A stamp set called  Carnival Critters 

from Kraftin’ Kimmie Stamps! 

Mini Slimline cards are my new favorite

type of card to make.  The overall size of this 

card is 3/5" x 6".  I used some slimline dies from 

Taylored Expressions.  The background is

made from a new stencil from Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps

called Bouncy Balloons and the new hybrid ink

color "Flirty Flamingo" .  I also used two other stamp sets

from Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps - FUN-tastic Fair (snack booth)

and You've Been Framed (sentiment). 

Thanks so much for popping in to visit me today!

I hope that you will join our challenge this month,

You may be a challenge winner and get to be

a guest designer too!
