July New Release Peeks DAY THREE and ANYTHING GOES CHALLENGE

Hello again! Happy weekend!

I'm happy that you're back to visit me today

because it's the final day of the Sneak Peeks

for the July 2020 Release at 

KRAFTIN' KIMMIE STAMPS!

And a new weekly challenge starts today too.

I'll bet you can guess the theme because it's the

same every month during release week...

Challenge #539  is ANYTHING GOES!

Haven't you just LOVED each of these new stamp sets

and coordinating stencils, inks and dots?

Do you have a favorite yet? 

If not this one just might be it!!!

Our final stamp set of the July release 

is by artist Melissa Baker-Nguyen 

and it's called LONG IN THE TOOTH!

 OH MY GOSH...isn't this awesome?! 

Just look at how CUTE they are and 

the fun sentiments and fonts! And

let's not forget about that leggy little bird. 

Before I show you my card today, I wanted to 

remind you of the LIVE ONLINE RELEASE PARTY

happening today in the Krafty Friends Facebook Group.

The FUN starts at 2pm EST - so hope you can be there.

AND...pretty quickly after the release party ALL

the new goodies will be loaded in the KKS shop 

and ready to jump into your shopping carts! 

Okay so are you ready to see what I've made?! 

Here it is...

This card features the SHE SELLS SEASHELLS stencil,

the PATTERN PARADE stencil, the new FRESH FIELDS

hybrid ink and the new SUMMER DOTS.  

My layout was inspired by the current

Freshly Made Sketches Challenge - #443.  

  After using the stencil the first time with the 

FRESH FIELDS ink, I then very very lightly spread some

Nuevo glitter paste through it again over the top of what I had

already inked.  The original green still shows through but now 

there is a lighter green shimmer on top of it. It's really cool in real life! 

Wish you could see that better!  I was tickled with how it turned out.  

Here's a couple more photos that show the details a bit better

So don't forget about the ANYTHING GOES challenge.

We love to see your creations in our gallery and

in the Krafty Friends Facebook Group too. 

Each time you enter a new creation you have a chance

to win the monthly prize of a $25 gift voucher to the KKS Store.  

When you use a KKS stamp, or other  KKS product 

(stencil, dots, inks) you double your

entries that week.  Wanna WIN - then come play!

I hope you've been leaving us comments as you visit 

our blogs because one lucky commenter will WIN

some krafty $$ to spend in the KKS Store. 

It could be you!  The DT loves to hear what you

think about the release products and our creations too!

Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps Challenge #536 - USE A STENCIL

Hello to you and happy weekend!

Today we are kicking off another weekly 

challenge theme at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps. 

 Challenge #536 from krafty gal Melany is

to USE A STENCIL. 

There are so many awesome stencils 

available from KKS that it was difficult for me 

to make up my mind on which one I wanted to use.

But then inspiration struck and I knew that the

TRIPPY TRIANGLES stencil would be perfect with 

this adorable ice cream cone stamp from the 

 newly released WHAT'S THE SCOOP? clear stamp set.

The background panel was first inked with a combo

of Marvelous Mocha, Creamy Caramel and Sandy Shores ink. 

Then I lifted the stencil and went over the whole

panel again with the new Sandy Shores ink and a 

blending brush.  Makes me think of a waffle cone - YUM!

Now it's your turn to jump into the challenge this week.

Pull out your stencils and have fun making a

new creation to share with us!  You have all week to 

participate and can enter as many times as you like

(just make sure it's a new creation each time),  It's not

a requirement that you use KKS items but we love when

you do and you get double the chances to win the

monthly prize of a $40 gift certificate to the KKS Shop! 

Wanna WIN - then you gotta PLAY (big smiley face)!

Thanks for stopping by to visit me today.  

There's some links below to more of our krafty DT

who have Stenciled Creations to share with you.  Enjoy!!

June Release Blog Hop Celebration - Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps

Hello friends! Today is the day we celebrate

the fantastic products just released by 

Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps!

Have you been following along with us as

we've been sharing each day?  Do you have a 

favorite from the release - or do you 

LOVE IT ALL like me??!

All the new products are now available in the store 

 and ready to jump into your shopping cart! 

You can purchase them individually or ALL of them

at once as part of a specially priced GIMMIE KIMMIE KIT

(but these go fast and are only available for a limited time). 

As a quick recap for you the NEW stamp sets are

WHAT'S THE SCOOP! by artist Neda Sadreddin

UNDERWATER FUN! by artist Cheryl Grant

& TURTLEY AWESOME! by artist Becky Pearce

There are also TWO new stencils -

Nautical Netting and Krafty Scenery 3

a beautiful brown hybrid ink - Sandy Shores

and more enamel dots - Seashore Dots!

My card for the hop features What's the Scoop!, 

the Nautical Netting stencil and some Seashore Dots.

I stamped my two images with the Sandy Shores ink

and then colored them with copic markers.  

As a last touch I covered the tubes and sunglasses

in glossy accents.  Here's a close up of it

And here's one more close up so you can see the 

dimension around the edge of the card for the 

pool (which I inked with Granite Grey).

For the pool bottom I used Salty Sea, Granite Grey

and Mermaid Melody hybrid inks through the

stencil.  I started with the lightest color and kept

adding the other colors until I had the effect I wanted. 

The sentiment is stamped on the diving board.

So I hope that you have a refreshing or rejuvenating 

beverage and maybe a snack with you as you 

settle in and hop around to the blogs of the rest

of the Kraft DT.  They have LOTS of awesome

creations made from this release to share with you. 

Enjoy the day peeps! Happy hopping and shopping!

May 2020 NEW Release Sneak Peeks - Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps - Day TWO - Perfect Peony

Hello and welcome to DAY TWO of the 

May 2020 NEW Release Sneak Peeks for

KRAFTIN' KIMMIE STAMPS!

Today we have a beyond gorgeous large floral stamp with a 

beautiful sentiment.  It's called PERFECT PEONY 

My mom loves flowers of all types, so I used this

stamp to make her Mother's Day card.

Once again I used the beautiful SUMMER SUNSHINE 

hybrid ink (NEW) with the SUMMER SUNBURST stencil

on the background.  I absolutely LOVE this stencil!

The dots are from the NEW RAINBOW BRIGHT DOTS.
The sentiment is from HAPPY THOUGHTS (currently
out of stock but you can get notified when its back) - I thought it
was perfect for a Mother's Day card.  I used Zig watercolor
markers to color the flower and then went over it with the
yellow ink as I was stenciling.  I really like the way it turned out.

Here's a look at the stamp set and sentiment - be prepared to
be wowed by it's stunning details and layers of the petals

This and all the new May products will be in the Krafty Shop
immediately following the LIVE On-Line Release Party on
Saturday, May 16th at 2pm EST.  Come join us for some
fun conversation and sharing.

I know that there are some absolutely ahhhmazing
samples from the rest of the Kraft DT - just click
on the links below and go visit them next.
One lucky commenter will receive some krafty $$
to spend in the KKS Store just for leaving some love.
So don't forget to tell them what you love about their creation!
Thanks for visiting me today!  I hope you come back for
DAY THREE tomorrow - it's another awesome peek day!!

May 2020 - NEW Release Peeks - Day ONE - UP, UP & AWAY!

Hello lovely friends and followers!

I'm so glad you've popped in to visit me today

because today is DAY ONE of FOUR fantastic days of

sneak peeks for the MAY 2020 NEW Release products 

from KRAFTIN' KIMMIE STAMPS!

We are starting off with a super sweet stamp set 

featuring one of my favorite animals - elephants.

But wait...it gets better...it's elephants, birds and hot air balloons!

Before I show you my card here's a look at the whole set

called UP, UP & AWAY by artist Becky Pearce

Sooooo CUTE - right?! 

I had so much fun creating my DT card.

I used the NEW SUMMER SUNBURST stencil

in the background with the NEW SUMMER SUNSHINE 

hybrid ink (my new favorite bright yellow ink!) along with

a previously released stencil called Krafty Scenery 2 Stencil
for the mountains along the bottom.  And of course a couple

images from the stamp set UP, UP & AWAY and some of the 

NEW RAINBOW BRIGHT DOTS scattered around too.

Here it is - hope you like it!

I colored the image with copic markers and prisma color pencils.

I inked the mountains with MOSSY MEADOW hybrid ink

(and then enhanced with copics and pencils). The sentiment is

stamped in MERMAID MELODY hybrid ink.   

These new products and those that you will see over the next

four days will all be available in the KKS Shop immediately

following the LIVE On-Line Release Party on Saturday,

May 16th at 2 pm EST.  Hope you can join us - it's

May Skrappy Challenge - Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps

Hello lovely friends! 

Hope the month of May is treating you well so far.

Today I'm here sharing a scrapbook page I made for

the monthly Krafty Skrappy Challenge at

KRAFTIN' KIMMIE STAMPS.

If you aren't familiar with this challenge it's 

always got an anything goes vibe BUT... you

must make ANYTHING BUT A CARD. 

So that means bookmarks, gifts, scrapbook and 

planner pages, tags, boxes...you get the idea.

There are lots of ways that you can use the fabulous 

Kraftin' Kimmie stamps, stencils, inks and dots. 

Once we have at least 5 people participating there will

be a drawing for a $10 gift certificate to spend in the 

KKS Shop.  You have until Monday, June 2nd to enter.

This past Saturday (May 2nd) in the Kraftin' Kimmie Friends Facebook Group,

in celebration of International Scrapbooking Day, we presented our 

friends in the group with FIVE different challenges.  One of these 

might spark your creative juices and get you started on an entry for 

this month's SKRAPPY CHALLENGE. 

My inspiration for this page design was one of the iNSD challenges

 in the Friends Group which is to make your own background. 

I'm just a wee bit behind on my scrapbooking. The pup in this page

is now 10 years old!  I made the entire background with 

the PAWPRINTS Stencil using Marvelous Mocha and Ruby Red 

hybrid inks. The sweet sentiments and accessory stamps are from 

CUDDLES THE PUPPY clear stamp set.  The fun accents are 

from Doodlebug (one of my favorite paper lines).  

So now it's your turn! Go get Skrappy!

Kraftin' Kimmie Challenges #528 - Fantasy/Magic

I'm so happy you're here to visit my blog today.

Every Saturday a new theme challenge starts at

KRAFTIN' KIMMIE STAMPS!

This week the theme for Challenge #528 is Fantasy or Magic.

There are so many fun stamp sets at Kraftin' Kimmie 

that fit this theme ever so perfectly.  

I decided to use the Darling Dragons (because they

are magical creatures) to make a 

fantasy-tical birthday card for my daughter. 

The background was made with the Chubby Clouds stencil

and Bubbly Blue and Purple Pansy KKS hybrid inks.

The Purple Pansy ink is on SALE for the rest of this month.

The extra flames were created with the Wonderful Waves stencil -

just a section of it, and then cut out.  I used the

Morning Marigold and Pumpkin Patch KKS hybrid inks

on the "flames" and them added a touch of red with a 

colored pencil.  I had a lot of fun making this care

and most importantly my daughter LOVED it! 

I hope you will join our challenge this week and share your

own fantasy/magical creation.  You have a whole week to  

submit your entry.  Just remember that must be a NEW

creation to qualify as an entry for the monthly prize drawing. 

The monthly prize is a $25 voucher to spend in the KKS Shop.

And before I go...here's a link to the FRUGAL FRIDAY 

sales that you might want to check out.  

Thanks for visiting me!  Sending you crafty, social distanced HUGS!

Kraftin' Kimmie Challenges - #500 "Use 1 or More Stencils"

Hello friends and happy weekend.
This week at KRAFTIN' KIMMIE STAMPS
we are celebrating 10 wonderful years and
the 500th Challenge!!! What an amazing milestone!

This week our hostess for Challenge #500 is Krafty Gal Anna.
She is challenging us to  Use 1 or More Stencils on our creations.
And guess what??? Kimmie is offering a special prize to 
one lucky winner from this next week's entries...
5 - yes FIVE - stencils of the winners choice!

Since Kimmie started carrying stencils in the krafty shop

I've hardly used my patterned papers.  The stencils are so fun

to use and they work so beautifully with the KKS hybrid inks.
They also work great for dry embossing.
If you haven't checked them out you should!

My DT card today uses 3 of the stencils for the background
BATS & MOONS, CREEPY COBWEB and LOTS O' DOTS
and one of the not so spooky monsters from
MONSTER MASH with a sentiment from PUMPKIN KISSES
and added couple of the fun enamel SPOOKY DOTS.

This is one of the funnest cards I've made in a while.

The first color I used on the background was 

GOBLIN GREEN (leaving some white space around the bottom

and outer edge.  Then I added some SPARKLING SAPPHIRE

in the white areas I had left.  For the stenciled layers, I first 

sponged some GRANITE GREY over the top of the 

Creepy Cobweb stencil.  Second layer was to add some bats

through the Bats & Moons stencil. The sentiment was 

added in Wicked Black (same as the bats) and then I

sponged with PURPLE PANSY ink through the 

Lots o' Dots stencil.  Isn't it fun? I love how the green

glows through the web! Spooky Cool!

Thanks for visiting me today! I hope you find some time

in your weekend to get krafty and join the challenge. 

Your entry needs to be a new creation and you can use

any type stamp product. BUT...  We love to see what you make

with your KKS Stamps, inks, stencils and dots!  

So.. if you use KKS Stamps and products you'll

and products you get double entry points!

I'm also entering the following challenges today

Simon Says Stamps Wednesday Challenges - Anything Goes
