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!

Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps BLOG HOP Celebration for June 2019 NEW Release

It's BLOG HOP DAY!
I love this day of the new release each month.

It's so fun to see all the different ways that the

KKS DT  and our special guest designer use all the new products. 

I played with HIP HIPPO-RAY! and the

WONDERFUL WAVES STENCIL to create a fun scene. 

The waves were created with the NEW Salty Sea ink.

The sentiment was stamped with Wicked Black ink.

(Just as a little side plug - the wicked black ink

is a must have in my book.  It's amazing!)

I also used some of the pretty UNDERWATER DOTS.

you will hop on down to the rest of the links and enjoy some

cute stamps.  KKS has lots of  fun, whimsical
stamps that just seem to work for so many occassions.
They stamp so crisply and beautifully and are so much
fun to color and create with.  And of the owner, Kimmie
Reid, is an absolute doll.  I am living the dream to be
able to design with her stamps and share my creations with you.

Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps - Krafty Komeback "DandyLion"

Happy Fri-YAY!  

Today we have another fantastic re-release of

a retired rubber stamp set.  We call it the 

KRAFTY KOMEBACK at KRAFTIN' KIMMIE STAMPS!

If you aren't familiar with the krafty komebacks they are

previously retired rubber stamps.  When Kimmie

switched to the fabulous clear stamps the original

rubber ones were no longer made.  When they were sold 

out they were gone for good. However, Kimmie was able to
have her artists re-make some of the fan favorites
in the new fabulous clear sets.

I'm so excited about this month's krafty komeback 

because she was on my wish list for a long time 

and then when I decided to get her she was gone.

I was jumping for joy to see her again (with some 

new subtle differences that  make her even cuter)!

Meet DANDYLION! She was one of the most popular
images from artist Annie Rodrigue!

Here's my creation using this AhhhhDorable stamp

My background is made with Distress inks and the NEW 

Distress Oxide inks.  I love love love how fun they are

to use.  I only  have two colors right now but will most

definitely be getting more! I also watercolored 

Miss Dandylion with the regular distress inks and 

added some depth with Prismacolor pencils. Such a

fun card to make!  I'm so tickled to share it with you today!

I'd like to enter this card in the following challenges:

Kraftin' Kimmie Challenges #379 "Summer"

Hello wonderful crafty peeps!

It's the last Saturday of April already - wow!

Do you have any fun weekend plans?

It's supposed to be cold here so I made a big pot

of homemade vegetable beef soup. I'm not excited

about the cold - in fact I really am ready for the

warmer weather.  But the rain is making things green

and I do love homemade soup on a cold day :o).   

I have a card to share with you that I made for 

Kraftin' Kimmie Challenges #379 where the theme

this week is SUMMER!  Oh I am really looking 

forward to summer! Sunshine, flowers, popsicles,

time at the lake, warm weather, green grass, 

flip flops, and bbq time with family.  

 My card today features one of the beautiful lasses 

from  the KKS clear stamp set called Tweetie Birds.

I used lots of flowers on my card (and in the dsp) because 

summer to me means flowers, sunshine & birds singing!

I'd like to enter this card in the following challenges as well:
