on Friday! Make sure ya tune in to see what's going on! 

My card today features the NEW clear stamp set called 

BUGS and KISSES combined with some pretty 

flowers from BUDS and BLOOMS.  

I used a combo of copics, zig clean color markers

and distress inks to make this card.  I cut the sentiment 

apart (gasp!) so I could arrange it a little differently.

I'm pretty tickled with how it turned out and I 

absolutely ADORE these little bees!!

Kraftin" Kimmie Stamps - May NEW Release Peeks DAY ONE

Whoo Hoo!  I'm so excited that  you are here to visit me

because it's DAY ONE of the fabulous sneak peeks for

the May release at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps.

This month is so fantastic I can  hardly believe it myself!

The first set we have to show you has so many sweet 

little images and lots of ways that it can be used.

It's called BUGS & KISSES by new artist Melissa Baker-Nguyen!
We are so excited to add her to the KKS team and can't wait for you
to see her unique flair in our new stamp sets!
This fun set features lots of cute little bugs, accessory stamps,
sentiments and of course a fabulous jar to put them in!!
There is a total of THIRTEEN awesome stamps in the set!
I am totally in LOVE with this set!

I used my mini Misti (my birthday pressie from my kiddos)  

to line up my stamps, then I embossed everything on 

watercolor paper.  This is colored with Zig Clean Color 

markers.  I fussy cut a few extra leaves and popped them 

up a bit around the bottom. A last step was to add some 

glitter glue around the little lightening bug's bums

for their special glow :o).  Someday I hope to actually

see a lightening bug.  Have you seen them before?

I wonder if they are as adorable as these guys :o).

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

Happy Mother's Day

Happy Monday everyone, hope you've

had a good start to your week! 

Today I'm sharing a Mother's Day card

that I made for my mom.  

I recently got some more Zig markers from Simon Says Stamp

and was dying to play with them.  So... I grabbed a stamp set

from Close to My Heart and did some stamping, heat embossing 

and coloring with them.  I love how these markers are so vibrant 

yet create such a cool watercolor effect at the same time. 

I find them pretty easy to use but I need a bit more practice 

to get the variation and depth in the colors.   

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