12 Krafty Days of Khristmas - Day TWO (30% off on February 2017 release stamps)

Good happy Saturday friends!

I'm happy you're here to visit me because today

is DAY TWO of the 12 Krafty Days of Khristmas

at KRAFTIN' KIMMIE!!

Each day from the 1st through the 12th the Krafty DT

is showcasing a creation from one of the new releases

of each month of 2017 by Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps.
PLUS each and every day during the 12 Days the stamp sets
that we released during that particular month will
be ON SALE but ONLY for that day!

DAY TWO represents the  month of February 2017
where we released ALL ABOARD, SKY'S THE LIMIT,
SPORTY BOYS and YOU'RE MY HERO.
Such a great month of masculine stamps!

I chose to feature SPORTY BOYS today and
put a Christmas twist on it - take a look!

I had a little help from a couple other stamp sets 

Merry and Bright Birdies (embossed snowflakes) 

and Shake It Up! ("Christmas").  To create the 

sentiment I masked off part of two different ones

and then embossed one and then the other.  

The main image was stamped on a kraft card blank

in a very light brown memento ink and 

then colored with Prisma color pencils.  

Oh boy this card should go in the record books 

for me.  I can count on one hand the number of

times I make a completely one layer card!!

I really love how it turned out. The distress inks

and embossing really helped add some depth to it.  

I'd like to enter this card in the following challenges:
4 Crafty Chicks Challenges #379 (4CC379) - Anything Goes
Fab n' Funky Challenges #373 - Christmas

Kraftin' Kimmie Challenges - Wonderful Wednesday ANYTHING GOES

Hey hey hey Happy Wednesday!!

Do you know what that means (other than you are that much

closer to the weekend)?  It means that it's time for another

WONDERFUL WEDNESDAY CHALLENGE

at Kraftin' Kimmie Challenges!  Whoot!

The weekly Wednesday challenges are ALWAYS

Anything Goes!  That's right...any theme, any colors,

any type of project (in good taste of course).  

Today my card features one of the not too spooky

images from the TRICK OR EAT - RE-RELEASE

stamp set.  I used a sentiment from GRIM GRETCHEN

to cover us a very bad booboo (ugh!) and am happy

with the combo of the two stamps.  Take a little look:

 I was actually quite thrilled with myself because I used papers, 

ribbon and the gauze flower all from my stash.  And aside from moving 

my panels around a hundred times and then deciding that the 

card was too "clean" for a spooky image and halloween card 

(so I added some distress inks) - the card came together pretty quickly :o).  

We love when you show us your krafty stuff using

Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps but it's not a requirement.  

We really would just love for you to play along with us!

So now it's your turn to go get krafty and share with us! 

Hugs til next time! D

me and that means the weekend is that much closer!

Wonderful at KRAFTIN' KIMMIE CHALLENGES

because that means the theme is ANYTHING GOES!

Your entry can use ANY stamp and can be any theme, 

any style, any design and it can be a card, a scrapbook page, 

an altered item....you get the idea...ANYTHING goes! 

 One requirement though is that it must be a NEW creation. 

And you have until June 20th at midnight to entry this challenge.

I LOVE to use sketch's but this time I kept my card CAS.

I had colored this image from LOOK FOR RAINBOWS

during my color along video a couple months ago but

finally got it on a finished card. The sentiment is from

RAINY DAY LULU.  The past 3 days have been very 

rainy with big storms in the evening so I thought this 

image was perfect.  June is Montana is often colder 

than May and definitely more wet.  It sure makes

things fresh and green though and I love that!

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 Stamps - NEW Release Sneak Peeks Day TWO August 2016

Hello friends! 

I'm back for another sneak peek of the 

FABoolous August NEW Release at

KRAFTIN' KIMMIE STAMPS!

Did you like the vampire peeks yesterday?!

Well today the sneak peek is TOTALLY WITCHIN'

which is an EEK-tastic new stamp set by artist Emilie Goulet!
 This fun set has two main images of a high-flying witch
with her kitty cat friend and a whimsical bitty bat!
 The set also comes with EIGHT fun sentiments!

Here's what I made to share with you today

Isn't she FUN and fabulous?  I really had a lot of fun making this card.  

I started by masking around the main image and then sponging inside 

a circle cut out to make the moon.  Then I added that mask and 

got inky using distress inks and some cloud dies

(I kept moving the die cut from side to side as I added ink).

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

613 Avenue Create Challenge #188 - Anything Goes

Addicted to Stamps and More Challenges #206 - Anything Goes
Penny's Paper-Crafty Challenges #290 - Anything Goes
Stamping Sensations - August - Anything Goes

 available on Saturday night after the LIVE Online Release

Party which begins at 6pm EST! Come hang out with us

and have lots of krafty fun!

Kraftin' Kimmie Challenges #336 - Flowers

Hello everyone! Welcome to the weekend and another

fun theme challenge at KRAFTIN' KIMMIE!

Our hostess this week is Krafty Girl Alexis 

and her challenge theme for us is...FLOWERS!

The criteria are pretty easy for this one  - as long as we can see flowers 

somewhere on your creation you are qualified to link up your entry

(you can have flowers on the paper, on ribbon, in or on the image, 

or added flowers as an embellishment).  Easy peasy right?!

I used two beautiful summery stamps on my card today

Butterfly Dreams and Buds and Blooms 

I began by masking the flowers and heat embossing the 

stamped images on a panel of watercolor paper and

then directly dabbing my mini distress ink pads 

on the stamped/embossed images (using the corners of

the pads and dotting within the image with large and small

dabs - trying not to completely fill in the image).  

Then I spritzed the panel with water to let the colors

blend a little but the watercolor paper I used is very

heavily textured and the colors didn't spread out as much

as I anticipated that they would so I used a brush

and added more water to blend out the inks some more.

As a last touch I added some pretty sequins. 

Do you supposed I get bonus points for having the 

word "Flowers" on my card? :o)  

I'm really happy with how it turned out!  Hope you like it too! 

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

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenges - Animal Magic
If You Give a Crafter a Cookie #46 - photo inspiration

613 Avenue Create - Challenge #180 "Anything Goes w/twist

of Create Your Own Challenge" 

 I chose A2 card type , with Thinking of You/Encouragement

for the event and watercolor and sequins for the trends. 

Crafty Creations Challenges #317 Tic Tac Toe

I used flowers, image (butterflies) and Summer theme

(I think it could also qualify for Sentiment, Flowers, Leaves)

Stamping Sensations - June Challenge "Feature a Creature"
Cute Card Thursday Challenge #430 - Little Bugs/Butterflies

Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps May Sneak Peeks DAY THREE

Hello!  It's DAY THREE of the May

release sneak peeks for the NEW clear stamps

at KRAFTIN' KIMMIE STAMPS!

Did you think we were done with the MERMAIDS??? Nope!!
 Today we are sharing previews featuring a set that I KNOW
will make a splash! We're so excited to share the new set of fin-tastic
images by artist Emilie Goulet called MERMAID FRIENDS!

The 4x4 clear stamp set features two beautiful mermaids
with their water-ful friends PLUS five awesome sentiments!
They're such fun!

For my creation today I wanted to use watercolors 

and create what I hope looks like an underwater image

take a look and let me know what you think!

I embossed this lovely mermaid first and then 

watercolored over the entire panel with distress inks.

After it  had dried a little I washed out some of 

the color from the mermaid and fish and then added

some other colors.  As a last touch I added some

shimmer to her tail using Wink of Stella clear pen

and some Stickles glitter glue on her hair pin.  

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

Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps Sneak Peek DAY ONE!

Oh my goodness I'm so glad that you are here because....

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

KRAFTIN' KIMMIE STAMPS!

I am over the moon for this month and I think you

First there are TWO new stamp sets featuring BRAND NEW MERMAIDS!
Each stamp set has several super cute and funny coordinating sentiments!

They SHORE are beautiful and they are called 

 SERENA SPARKLES

 and TREENA TWINKLES!

Annie has also designed the perfect BACKGROUND stamp set
to go with these new mermaids and many other summer stamp sets
 OR to just use it by itself!!
 How gorgeous is this underwater scene called THE OCEAN!!?

I combined The OCEAN background stamp and the 

SERENA APARKLES stamp to create this fun card.

I wanted to make the coral and plants look like they were 

moving a bit in the water so I double stamped the image.

I used various distress ink colors for the watercolor effect. 

You can't see it very well in the photo :O( but I added 

some wink of stella on her tail and fins and face.  

It's very pretty IRL.  Sometimes I wish I was a mermaid :o)!

Here's my card for today's peek

I stamped the image first and then created a mask of it so

I could sponge distress inks on the panel for the beach scene.

The sun is a reverse die cut that I sponged inside and then used

the die cut as a mask over the top of the sponged image so I

could add the rest of the sky and clouds to the background.  

The clouds I masked first and then sponged around those.  I had 

a lot of fun creating this card and decided to keep the embellishments

off so that the scene was the star of the card :o).  I was going for a 

pending sunset scene - hopefully that's what it looks like to you!

What will you make this week for the anything goes challenge?

Spring Coffee Lover's Blog Hop - Love Affair w/Coffee {Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps}

Hello friends!

I'm back with another card to share with you

for the SPRING COFFEE LOVER'S  BLOG HOP.

This card is a tribute to my love affair with coffee 

I pulled out my mini distress ink pads and started

sponging the base panel.  I mixed and matched two

oranges, a peach and a red to get this blend of bright

yet warm colors (that's how I feel about coffee a bright

and warm start to my day - hehehe).  Then I embossed

the sentiment and go cups.  I left the space around the

sentiment a little wet and when poured the embossing powder

on the panel it smudged.  At first I was horrified that I had

ruined it and then I decided that I loved it because it looks

like coffee grounds.  What's that saying "a happy accident"

or something like that  :o).  I then added a few of the coffee 

beans around the panel and as a last touch decided to 

splash a few drops of water on there for a bit more 

effect.  I'm really happy with how it turned out and 

it was fun to get inky with this one.  

The stamps are all from Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps

Sentiment: "Love Story Sentiments"

Coffee cups and beans: "One Cup at A Time" 

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

Here's my creation to share with you today:

I've been itching to play with my new distress inks after watching
a video by Jennifer McGuire on this technique that basically washes
away some of the color from the image and then adds others back in.
 I started by embossing the beautiful butterflies and then added
two different blue distress inks with the felt pads until the
entire white panel was covered.  Then I began the washing process
(adding water with a brush to the image) and then used some other
colors and water colored them into the image. I was absolutely thrilled
with how this turned out! And it was so much fun to do!!

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