Challenge #573 -Cuteness!! Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps

Good morning and welcome to another

fabulous and fun Saturday Challenge

at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps !

Are you ready for another fun and krafty challenge 

to inspire you and help get your creative juices flowing?

We've got some fabulous ideas for you 

and can't wait to see what you create!

This week, Krafty Girl Delphine is your hostess and her challenge theme for you is CUTENESS!

Oh Gosh could this be any easier of a challenge?

I mean come on...there are soooo many CUTE

stamp sets in the Kraftin' Kimmie Stamp shop.

All you have to do is chose one of your favorites

and create something CUTE! 

My card for this week's challenge features 

another of the cute dragon images from the 

newly released DRAGON FLIGHT stamp 

set and a sentiment from the DREAM CASTLE.

I also added some of the items from the

March Add-On Bundle (available in 

limited quantities until they are gone).

The chipboard eggs are so fun to 

ink, color, sparkle etc. One one of them

I added some Stickles glitter gel and on

the other I put a layer of Nuvo Dream Drops 

(also from the add-on bundle) over it and 

then stamped on top of it after it dried. 

Maybe not what you might expect from 

a dragon image but it's sure CUTE and 

can be used for a variety of reasons.

Possibly even a baby card right?!

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

Crafty Catz #543 Anything Goes/Optional Fantasy

Addicted to Stamps and More #401 - Make Your Mark

Fab N Funky Challenges #515 - No Square Cards

Each and every Saturday we post a brand new challenge for the week and you are welcome to enter as many times as you like.

Heard you Got a Bug! Feel Better Soon.

Happy Monday! Hope the day has been good to you.

Although I don't make new year's resolutions,

I have challenged myself to try and use up some of my crafty

 stash (old, new unopened items, and started but never finished

creations).   In keeping with that personal challenge, I found this 

watercolored panel in the pile things I've colored but 

never actually made it on to a finished creation.   

I had never really loved how it turned out but couldn't seem

to throw it away.  Time to challenge myself to use it. 

Then I dug through my stash of (very neglected) embossing folders 

and found one that I thought would work well.  Here's what

I ended up creating to share with you today. 

 

 

The original watercolored panel was much larger. I cut it down 

to fit on the embossed panel and added the punny sentiment. 

Suddenly I liked it much better! Funny how that happens.

I never seem to have "Get Well" or "Feel Better Soon" cards

on hand when I need them.  But I'll have one now! 

Really so glad I used this panel instead of tossing it.

And I had honestly forgotten how satisfying it is to use 

an embossing folder!  Instant gratification with a few

cranks of the handle!  Pretty sure I'll be using some of the

other embossing folders in that box soon too. 

I'm entering this in the following challenges:

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge - A Bit O' Green

"Just Us Girls" Challenge Trend Week #575 - Use an Embossing Folder

Simply Create Too Challenge #168 Dry or Wet Embossing

Kraftin' Kimmie Challenges "Anything Goes - March 13th"

Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge - Recycle

March Sneak Peeks Finale and Anything Goes Challenge - Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps!

  Today is our final day of Krafty Peeks for the March Release
 at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps!

We are so excited to share a beautiful floral set 

by our newest artist (and Design Team Member) 

Michelle Houghton called...

WILDFLOWER WONDER!!

These gorgeous set is perfect for your Spring projects, 
and the sentiments are so wonderful and full of hope!

I'll be the first to admit that I'm not often comfortable with coloring 

flowers. But I fell in love with these beautiful images!  

I pulled out my watercolors and this is what I did with them.

I just kept imaging them kind of softly blowing in the breeze.

My colors were inspired by this background that's been 

laying on my craft desk for quite some time just waiting

for the perfect thing to go on it.  Truthfully, I know I'm

not the best at this watercoloring technique but the

process of doing this and the end result just makes 

my heart happy.  I love how it turned out and can't wait

to try other things with these beautiful flowers and 

uplifting sentiments.  I hope you like it too! 

Those pretty clear dots that look like raindrops are part of 

the March Add-On Kit (Shimmerz Embellishments).  Just put a 

drop of clear glue on the bottom and your good to go. Very easy.

As you hop around the design team's blogs today you'll be able to check out WILDFLOWER WONDER in action in combination with a lot of our other new March Kraftin' Kimmie products!  

Of course today is also challenge day and as always during release week, it's Anything Goes!  So create a card, scrapbook page, altered item, planner page....with some Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps products for your chance to WIN the monthly prize! 

 We can't wait to see your creations and you have one week to enter!  Feel free to link up your creation at the bottom of this post and/or upload your pic to the folder in the Krafty Friends facebook group!  You could WIN a gift voucher to the krafty shop!

We've also got a brand new sketch for you!

DAY THREE - Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps March Release Peeks

  Today is our third day of Krafty Peeks for the March Release
 at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps!

Today we are 'peeking' a fabulous set from artist

Neda Sadreddin  and it's called HAMMIN' IT UP!!

These cuties are having so much fun!! 

And you're going to have a blast creating with them! 

My face was smiling the entire time I was coloring these 

cute little fluff balls!  I'll bet you can see why - so stinkin' CUTE!

 The card design is based on the March KKS Sketch.

Love having sketches to put some framing around

my creativity - especially when my brain is whirling like

the hamster in the wheel with too many ideas! 

The sentiment is embossed, the straw is colored by making

lots of quick strikes across the strip of paper with my

Creamy Caramel hybrid ink cute.  Those stars are from the 

March Add-On Kit and are glittered up with some

Stickles glitter glue. The chipboard accepts so many

different types of craft mediums so easily.  In this

second photo you might be able to see better the

Nuvo Dream drops that I added around the wheel

to give it some dimension and shine.  If you purchase

the March Add-On Kit you will get a bottle of the 

dream drops (various colors - what you get is a surprise!)

The color I got and used is called Frosted Lake.  

It's kind of a very soft green but it seems to look different on 

everything I use it on. It's Gorgeous and so fun to use!

So what do you think of this set? I'd love to hear!

 Check out HAMMIN' IT UP in so many precious creations today as you hop around the Krafty Team's blogs!  You'll also see the new stencils, Add-Ons and hybrid ink along the way!  Be sure to leave some love at each stop on the hop because there will be a giveaway for some krafty $$ to the shop! 

You'll see more of our March goodies tomorrow and then everything will be released after our LIVE Online Release Party on Saturday afternoon at 2pm ET in the Krafty Friends facebook group!  

For now, check out all the adorable goodness in today's hop!

And if that's not enough we'll be back tomorrow with a final

peek from a brand new artist! See you soon!

Today I combined the My Hero sentiments and the Dragon Flight stamp set with the new RICH RUST ink and the ROYAL stencil. 

 

I sprayed the chipboard clouds with Dina Wakely white spray gloss

and added some of the beautiful Nuvo dream drops 

and twine from the March Add-On Bundle.

Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps Challenge #571 - GLITTER

Good morning and welcome to another fabulous 

and fun Saturday Challenge at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps!

Are you ready for another fun and krafty challenge to  

inspire you and help get your creative juices flowing?

Each and every Saturday we post a brand new challenge for

the week and you're welcome to enter as many times as you like.

We've got some fabulous ideas for you (check out the links

below to each krafty DT blog) & can't wait to see what you create!

This week, Krafty Girl Melanie is your hostess 

 and her challenge theme for you is GLITTER!

My card features the Funny Fishes stamp set by

krafty girl artist Allison Cope.  Take a peek!

Doesn't this fish just make you want to giggle?

This card is going to a gal friend so I added some

eyelashes :o).  I used the new Smokin' Squares stencil

with the new Aqua Adventure hybrid ink to create

the water around the fish. Turned out super fun! 

Personally I love the look of glitter but am not a 

fan at all of the mess of it.  When I want glitter

I tend to us glitter glue (like stickles on the hat) 

and glitter paper so I don't have glitter everywhere 

for weeks when I'm done creating Hahaha! 

 

We sure hope you will be joining us this week and 

sharing your own GLITTER creation! 

Remember your entries must be new creations and 

you are welcome to use any stamp, however, 

using Kraftin' Kimmie Stamp products will earn you double entries!

The monthly prize is a $25 voucher to the Krafty shop!!!

Woohoo!  There are two ways to enter: 

you can link up your creation on the  Kraftin’ Kimmie blog page 

and you can upload your photo to the album in our 

Krafty Friends FB group.

Also, if you need a little extra inspiration or a jump start 

to your mojo, we have a new sketch each month!

Feel free to use it any time!

And don't forget about the Frugal Friday Specials!! 

We've got a selection of gorgeous stamp sets 

on SALE 40% OFF this weekend while supplies last!!

March Skrappy Challenge - Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps!

    Good morning krafty friends!

It's March and that means...

 it's time for a brand new
SKRAPPY CHALLENGE

with 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!  As soon as we have at least five people playing along, we'll be giving away a $10 gift voucher to the krafty shop as the monthly prize!  

You have until Monday, April 5th to enter and you can submit as many new creations as you like for more chances to WIN!  Also be sure to share your designs on the Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps' Krafty Friends facebook page because we love to see your stuff!

My skrappy creation this month is a scrapbook page. I'm kind of in love with the baking themed products from this past month. So many different and fun ways these can be used.  As I was making muffins last weekend it struck me that using them could make for a fun scrapbook page.  Granite Grey ink was the perfect color to add a subtle pattern with the Baking Bonanza Stencil. I used some more of the chipboard elements from the February Add On Bundle (see photo below) and one of the sentiments from Happiness is Homemade!  There's also hidden journaling under the main photo (used another sentiment from Happiness is Homemade for that). Note: non-Kraftin' Kimmie products are the stickers from my stash and the tag from a bottle of my favorite oil. 

Here's my page

Here's a closer look at part of the page and the 

flap with the journaling. 

Thanks for popping in to visit me today! 

Check out some more inspiration from the Krafty Team below and be inspired to get krafty!!
