Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps - NEW Release Peeks - DAY TWO!

 Welcome back!

Did you enjoy yesterday's Peeks?
Well, we are back with MORE fun stuff!

Today we are spotlighting a new stamp set from artist Sabrina van Vloten called I BEE-lieve in YOU!

Look at those adorable fluffy bee bums!!

I'm so excited to share my peek of this

super cute stamp set.  

This little bee reminds me of a fluffy tan

bear who also loves honey.  The fantastic

new layering stencil is so perfect for this

stamp set - so I used it too!

The bees were colored in with 

Yummy Yellow, Salty Sea and Wicked

Black inks. Then I added some 

black gel pen to the eyes and some 

ultra fine glitter to the wings. 

I love the stencil so much that I 

wanted to let make it the focus of

 a second card with one of the 

sentiments from the stamp set.

Thanks for stopping in to visit me today!

Kraftin’ Kimmie Stamps Skrappy Challenge

Good morning, my Krafty Friends!

Thanks for stopping in to visit my blog today! 

It's JUNE and that means it's time for a new
Skrappy Challenge
at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps! 

The theme of course is ANYTHING BUT A CARD!

For this challenge you can make anything that strikes your fancy....except a card!  So design a new scrapbook page, bookmark, tag, altered item, planner page, art journal, ATC cards...whatever you like! 

Just make sure to include some Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps products and make sure it's a new creation!  

This month my creation is a scrapbook page using the watermelon stamp from the FRUITY FUN! stamp set. 

I started with Vicki Boutin’s heavy weight mixed media art paper and stamped the images with Granite Grey ink from KKS. I stamped and masked, and then stamped and masked some more to create the cascading watermelon slices.  Then I used my karin watercolor markers to 

color in each of the pieces. 

It took a bit of patience and time but

It was also relaxing and I love how they turned out. 

I made a few extras on a separate piece of paper and then fussy cut them. A scallop oval punch was perfect to create the bite marks in some of the pieces. These were used as accent pieces on the layout. 

Did you notice how I used one of them to create the letter “u” in the title? 

I hope that you like my creation and that I’ve inspired you to get crafty and join this month’s Skrappy challenge too!

Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps - June Challenge! Dad/Boy/Masculine and/or Outdoor Activities

 Good morning and welcome to our 
New Monthly Challenge
at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps!

Are you ready for another krafty challenge to inspire you and help get your creative mojo going? We've got some fabulous prompts for you and can't wait to see what YOU create!

This month our challenge themes for you are:

Dad/Boy/Masculine and/or Outdoor Activities

You can choose one theme or combine them!
Enter as many times as you like all month long.
It's a Choose Your Own Krafty Adventure!

June is the month to celebrate the men in our lives. 

Typically that means Father's Day, but the person

that I'm celebrating is my Brother-in-Law. 

I chose the Masculine theme for this month's 

challenge and made a birthday card for

his upcoming BIG birthday year.  

To create this card, I used the 

Charming Chevron stencil 

and the following gorgeous KKS hybrid inks:

Sandy Shores

Marvellous Mocha

Bubbly Blue

Designer Denim

Magical Midnight

The first thing I did was use a white cardstock

panel and sponge the different ink colors through 

the stencil using foam daubers. Then I lifted

the stencil and brushed the same colors over the 

top of what I had just stenciled. 

Since I wanted the die cut numbers to be

the same color as the chevron stripe.

I covered another piece of scrap white 

cardstock with the Magical Midnight ink and 

let it completely dry before using the number dies. 

I also made a custom sentiment strip panel

but covering another piece of scrap white

cardstock with the Sandy Shores ink. 

The sentiment is from the super fun 

Birthday Bash stamp set.   

I stamped the sentiment with

Marvellous Mocha ink but this time I was

impatient and didn't let the Sandy Shores ink

set in the paper as well as I should have so the 

mocha ink kind of sunk into the panel and

didn't stand out as much as I was intending it to.

I think the message is still quite clear and I 

have to admit that I quite enjoy teasing my BIL. 

Thanks so much for stopping by to visit me 

today.  I hope that you will take some time

this month to get crafty and share your

own fabulous creation with us. 

Every month we post a brand new challenge with a choice of themes to choose from, and a mid month inspiration post with even more creative ideas! You are welcome to enter as many times as you like.

Mermaid Friends!

 Hello!

It's the month of May (it may snow, it may rain, it may be sunny)

and it's a great time to celebrate with Mermaids

(since it's also Mer-May in lots of crafting circles).

I saw the gorgeous color inspiration from 

The Color Throwdown Challenge #793

 and decided that I needed to play along this week.

Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps also has a challenge theme

(one of 3 to choose from) that inspired me.  

I used the "Use Bright Colors" theme from that challenge.

Here's my card for these challenges

Although it's difficult to see, I added a spritz

(or 10) of soft, shimmery glitter over the top of the

stenciled panel to make it feel more "magical".

The stamp set, Mermaid Friends, and the 

gorgeous Mermaid Scales stencil as well as the

ink I used (Tranquil Teal) are all from 

Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps.

I colored the beautiful mermaid and her sweet friend

with copic markers (BG45, BG53, YR09, YR07, YR04,

V12, V15, V17 and BG 70, BG72).

For a final touch of sparkle, I added some 

gems from Pink Fresh Studios. 

Hope you liked my card! Thanks for stopping by! 

You are One in a Melon!

 Hello! Hello! I'm glad that you've stopped by my blog 

to visit and see my newest creation.

Today I am sharing a card I made with one of the 

amazing April/May release stamp set from Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps.

My card features the super cute Fruity Fun stamp set.  

Watermelon is one of my favorite things about summer 

- especially on a hot day! 

And how fun is it that I found the exact perfect

papers to use too?! 

Isn’t this Fun?! I colored the watermelon pieces with 

copic markers (RV14 and RV13 for the flesh or "tasty part" 

and G09, G05, G03 and G000 for the rind and inner part).  

I also used a black gel pen on the seeds to give them a little extra pizzaz. 

I just wanna take a big bite and celebrate summer!  

I'm sharing this card in the following challenges:

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenges - Use Patterned Paper

and

Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps - May Challenge 

(I chose the theme of Bright Colors)

 

If you are interested in how I made this card, you can catch my 

Colour-a-long in the Krafty Friends Facebook group (look in the Media

and Videos section).
