May 2020 New Release Blog Hop - Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps

Hello all you wonderful crafty peeps!

Today we have a very special blog hop to celebrate the

New Release for May 2020 at 

KRAFTIN' KIMMIE STAMPS!

Grab your favorite beverage, relax and hop along

to all the blogs/links listed below for some more

wonderful inspiration from the Krafty DT.  

After you get done hopping you can pop on

into the KKS Shop and do a little shopping!

In case you missed it ALL the new products were released 

in the KKS Shop yesterday.  These products are already flying 

off the shelf so I'm thinking you are all LOVING them too!

My card for today features the super adorable boy

set from artist Cheryl Grant called FARM-TASTIC

Ohhh and I add a few of the new RAINBOW BRIGHT 

Krafty Dots - I love these Krafty dots! 

I've been practicing more with making scenes 

and I really like how this one turned out.

Here's a closer look at the sunbeams and cornfield.
That beautiful yellow color is from the new
SUMMER SUNSHINE hybrid ink. 

The rocks in the road are from the Fairy Village stamp set. 

What do you think?  Isn't it sweet?  

There's also a very special promotion going on 

THIS WEEKEND ONLY that you may want to check

out.  It's called SHARE THE KRAFTY KINDNESS.

Kimmie wants to recognize that these have been tough

times for us in so many ways and yet we've managed

to pull together and support and be kind to others.

This is a friendship set so we'd love for you to give it to 

someone who you feel could really use some extra kindness. 

For every Perfect Peony stamp set you purchase this

weekend you'll get a second one as a gift to share with

someone else.  There was a tremendous response to this

yesterday so the number remaining is fairly limited. 

I'm the last stop on the hop but if  you missed one of the others,
no worries, you can just click on the photo of someone else
and you'll be magically transported to their blog! 

Thank you for visiting me today and thank you for 

supporting this amazing small business that I design for. 

We are ever so grateful for each of you and hope that

we can continue to make your days brighter with our creations.

Crafty virtual hugs to each of you!

DAY THREE of the May 2020 Peeks - Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps - Fairy Village

Happy Friday peeps!  Welcome back for DAY THREE

of the May 2020 New Release peeks for 

KRAFTIN' KIMMIE STAMPS!

Artist Sabrina van Vloten has designed the absolutely

most fantastic set to coordinate with her Fairy Friends 

set.  This one is called Fairy Village.  Take a peek at the

two wonderful whimsical images that are just perfect

for our little fairies to live and play in.  EEEEEeee!

These images are also fun just on their own to make a magical

scene. So many fun possibilities with this set.  And I think

it will coordinate well with several other sets from KKS too. 

I had a lot of fun creating a scene on this card. 

The clouds are from Here Comes the Sun and the

sentiment is from Fairy Folk. Those dots are from the 

NEW RAINBOW BRIGHT DOTS. Did you notice that 

I used the stone accessory stamps to create a mossy path 

around the whimsical teapot? 

Can't you just imagine the little fairies living in there? 

There are some very creative ideas from the Krafty Krew

that you'll see if you click on the links below and go visit them.

Leave a comment at each stop because not only do we love to

hear from you, there's also a prize of Krafty $$ to spend in 

the KKS Shop for one lucky commenter! 

 Bfore you go don't forget about the  LIVE On-Line Party

on Saturday, May 16th at 2pm EST.  ALL the new products

will be available immediately following this event! 

 We have one more day of peeks tomorrow so please 

 come back to visit me and the others to see what it is. 

I know you are gonna LOVE this one too!!!

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 

always a FUN time with Kimmie!  

Now please go visit the rest of the Krafty DT to see

some more inspiration for DAY ONE.  Don't forget to leave

Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps Challenge #530 - FLOWERS

Happy weekend lovely friends and followers.

This weekend I get to be the hostess with the mostest

(mostest of what I haven't yet determined lol) for the Saturday

Challenge theme at KRAFTIN' KIMMIE STAMPS!

My favorite part of late spring/early summer is the 

beautiful flowers everywhere.  Flowers signify happiness
and renewal to me.  That is my inspiration 

for Challenge #530 - FLOWERS. 

My card features a couple different flower images from 

the so very pretty and sweet LOVE BUGS set.

I used one of my favorite KKS Stencils called 

Chubby Clouds for the background (w/Bubbly Blue ink).

This is colored with a combination of copic markers

and prisma color pencils.  

I'm sharing my card in these awesome challenges too:

Krafty Chicks Challenge #506 Week 1 - Stamp Act

Little Red Wagon: Challenge #548 Flowers

Stamping Sensations: May - Say it With Flowers

Your Next Stamp Fun Friday Challenge #138 Lots of Layers

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 Stamps Challenge #529 - Multiple Layers

Hello and a good happy Saturday to you!

It's time for another weekly theme challenge from 

KRAFTIN' KIMMIE STAMPS!

Our challenge #529, should you decided to accept it,

is to USE MULTIPLE LAYERS on your creation.

I love layers! In fact, I really struggle with one layer

cards (love when others do them - but mine always seem 

to look plain or too simple to me) - so this challenge makes

me happy, happy, happy!   Really - no lie! 

My card features a big flower from the LOVE BUGS

stamp set and a hummingbird from HAPPY HUMMINGBIRDS

(the sentiment is from a retired KKS stamp set). There's also

a few of the Fruity Dots scattered on the front too. 

Both of the main images were colored with copic markers

and then enhanced with prisma color pencils. 

I sent this card to my sister who is quite the flower

gardener - she loved it! 

 I'm also entering my card in the following challenges:

Simon Says Stamps Wednesday Challenge - Anything Goes

Addicted to Stamps and More -Challenge #387 Make Your Mark

Krafty Chicks Challenge #505 Anything Goes

Your Next Stamp Fun Friday Challenge #138 - Lots of Layers

I hope that you'll decide to join us this week too

and share your own Multiple Layer project.

Please make sure that it is a NEW creation

and if it features a Kraftin' Kimmie stamp or other product

your entry gives you a double chance at the monthly 

prize of a $25 gift certificate to spend in the KKS Shop!

And because it's International Scrapbooking Day

Kimmie has a special SALE going on. Check it out!

Thanks so much for visiting me today! 

I realized as I was typing this post that this month marks

eight years that I've been sharing my cards/creations on

this blog. Five of those years I've been designing for 

Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps.  How very blessed I feel!

Hope you have a peaceful, safe and krafty weekend!
