Happy Friday peeps!  Welcome back for DAY THREE
of the May 2020 New Release peeks for 
Image may contain: text

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.

Made by Elves - December 2019

Hello friends!  Today I'm sharing a card I 
made with an image I colored during 
The Daily Marker 30 Day Challenge in November.
I actually finally got two of the colored images on a card
and I'll be sharing the other one on Saturday.

One of my all-time favorite stamp sets is called Made By Elves
by Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps.  It's just so fun and whimsical!

I absolutely love when I find papers in my stash that so perfectly 
work with the stamps I'm using!  I also found this adorable button 
in the bottom of a bin that was so fun for this card.  
Last night we watched ELF and this image makes me think
of Papa Elf for some reason LOL.  

Since I finally got this on a card I thought I'd share it
by entering in the following challenges.

and

Thanks for letting me share with you today! Hugs D

CAS Christmas Card

Hello!  Thanks for visiting me today.
Last weekend was World Card Making Day.
 I colored the beautiful and sweet image on
my card below that day, but didn't get the 
card finished until Wednesday.  

I very seldom make CAS or one layer cards, but
felt a calling on this one to give it a go.  The main image 
is from Santa Paws and the sentiment is from 
Holiday Wishes (both by Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps).  

  
A big bold sentiment and a colored main image = viola!
I really love how it turned out.  Hope you do too.

I'm entering this card in the following challenges:

I also sent this in to Scrapbook and Cards Today for the WCMD 
 4:00 pm Challenge  - CAS.  

Thanks for sharing with me today! Have a lovely weekend. D

Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps Challenge #501 - Black & White Only

Good happy weekend crafty friends!

Today is the first challenge of October
(where has the year gone?) and the theme for 
CHALLENGE #501 is "BLACK & WHITE ONLY".

I was intrigued and pushed a bit by this challenge
as I love color so much.  But hey...that's what 
challenges are for, to help us stretch our creative
muscles and try something new.  So, I looked 
through all my KKS stamps and realized that 
there were many that would work nicely for 
this theme but I settled on an image from 
POLAR PALS.  Take a look:
 The whole image is colored with copic markers in different
series of the blacks/greys.  The polar bear is colored with
the T series, the penguin bodies are colored with the
N series.  It actually looks very striking IRL. 
As a last touch I added 3 black dots from the 
SPOOKY DOTS series (also from KKS). 

I am also entering my card in 

October is a very special month at KKS
as you might see by the banner below.  TEN 
awesome years to celebrate.   This weekend
we have some awesome deals for you ! Hope you
find some krafty products you've been wishing 
for in this SALE.  
Image may contain: text
I hope you will join us this week for the challenge.
I can't wait to see how you interpret the B&W only theme!
Thanks for visiting me! Krafty hugs! D

Kraftin' Kimmie Challenges #522 - Under the Sea

Hello Friends - Happy Weekend to you!
I LOVE Saturdays for many reasons but one
 of them is that it's always the start of a new
weekly theme challenge at KRAFTIN' KIMMIE STAMPS!

This week our DT hostess Miss Sabrina has chosen 
the theme for Challenge #522 to be UNDER THE SEA!


My DT creation features the NEWly released
Mermaid Scales stencil  and YOU'RE MER-MAZING!
stamp set.  I used some BoBunny glitter paste through the 
stencil (masked around the mermaid first) to create 
some fun and glittery texture on my background.
Then I added some of the new Underwater Dots
and distressed the edges some.  Really love how 
fun it turned out - and must admit I didn't completely 
miss my patterned papers (sorry not sorry).  

Isn't this mermaid beautiful?! I loved coloring
her hair (and wish I had it on my head haha). 

I used a new silicone paint brush to apply the glitter paste
but honestly think that using a scraper works better when
the stencil has medium to larger spaces to fill.  

Thanks so much for stopping in to visit me today!
I hope you'll join the challenge this week too. Hugs! D

Kraftin' Kimmie Challenges #486 - No Patterned Paper

Happy weekend!
It's time for another weekly theme challenge 
from KRAFTIN' KIMMIE CHALLENGES.

Challenge #486 is "No Patterned Paper".
I can remember a time when that would cause my
heart to quiver in anxiety to make a card without
patterned paper.  I have a very large amount of
it in my crafty stash - it's kind of an addiction LOL.
But...lately I've been having so much fun using stencils
that my poor patterned paper stash is quite neglected.
with two different blue hybrid inks to make the background
for this pet sympathy card.  I colored the sweet dog to
resemble the doggie that the family lost.
The main image and sentiment are from 
the clear stamp set called FURRY ANGELS .

There's velum panel over the top of the base
that I stamped the sentiment on.  It's never
fun to make a sympathy card, but I do believe
that it really touches people's hearts to know
that we care enough to make something
especially for them in their time of sorrow.

I hope you'll make and share your own
beautiful creation with us this week
without any patterned paper.
We LOVE to see what you create.
Thanks for stopping in to visit me today!

Inspirational Wednesday - Darling Dragons! - Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps

Hello friends! Happy Wednesday!
If you're anything like me you are 
happy you've reached mid-work week and 
can hardly wait for the weekend. LOL.

I get the pleasure of being your hostess for 
INSPIRATIONAL WEDNESDAY
at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps Challenges.


Today I chose a sweet little set that I actually 
didn't buy right away when it came out.
Finally I couldn't stand it any more and decided
that I had to add it to my collection.  Boy I'm
sure glad that I did - I LOVE it!  It's called
Darling Dragons and here's my inspiration card.

I masked the balloon stamp to get the set of three. 
The clouds were made with the Krafty Scenery Stencil
(one of my favorite stencils - if you don't have this one you should!) 
and the Bubbly Blue hybrid ink.  I also used one edge of
the stencil to get the grass line and then filled in the rest
with my copic markers for the detail. 

I'm also entering this card in 

Don't make the same mistake I did - hop on over to the
Krafty Shop and grab this set for your very own!
Guess what.....Kimmie has put it on SALE for 40% off!!
So you can add that stencil too if you don't have it (winky face!).  

Thanks for visiting me today!  Krafty Hugs! D

Kraftin' Kimmie Challenges #477 - Amazing Women

Hello friends! I'm happy you're here to visit me today!
we have an awesome theme challenge for you.
KKS Challenge #477 is "AMAZING WOMEN".
We all know one - and hopefully we also
count ourselves in this category as well.
I feel so fortunate to have so very many
amazing women in my life - my Grandma, my Mom,
my sisters, my daughter and daughter in law, my nieces,
coworkers, dear friends, my Krafty krew teamies...
honestly I could go on and on and on. 
So let's celebrate those amazing women (or ourselves) and 
share a creation for this challenge focusing
on this theme. I can't wait to see what you
make and read how (or who) it relates to your creation!

My card today uses a main image from YOU ARE SUPER
that I colored after watching Krafty Girl Jessie Banks tutorial
(you can find this in the KKS You Tube videos or in the videos
section of the Krafty Friends FaceBook group). 
I started this card by making the stenciled background 
with some BoBunny clear glitter paste and the STARBURST 
stencil from Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps.  I added some of the
KKS Yummy Yellow hybrid ink to the clear paste
before I worked it through the stencil. I love the gritty
texture and shimmer with the bright color!


This card went to my beautiful daughter-in-law who is
currently deployed.  She is truly one of my heros.

In addition to the Kraftin' Kimmie Challenge this week,
I'm also entering these awesome challenges:

Loss of Beloved Pet

Hello crafty friends.
Today I have a couple cards I made for friends/family
who have lost beloved pets recently.
This is such a sad reason to make a card.

There's a perfect stamp set from Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps
called Furry Angels for these type of cards.
When challenged with making difficult subject
cards, I look for sketches to give me a framework
to focus on.  The current Freshly Made Sketches
sketch #382 was perfect for keeping it simple
and yet beautiful.  Both of the cards use it. 
Both images are colored with copic markers & fussy cut.

Here's the first one - I colored it to look 
like my sister's sweet Jack Russell Terrier
named Jackie Ringo.  He was such a sweetie. 

And here's the second for my friend

I'm sharing these cards in the following challenges:
Top card

Bottom Card
Thanks for popping in to visit me today and 
allowing me to share my creations.  Hugs! D

Kraftin' Kimmie Challenges #473 - Use Sequins

Hello friends!  Happy weekend!  
Hope you have some fun plans - or maybe some great relaxing ahead.

This week the theme challenge for

I must admit that this was really a challenge for me.
Even though I ooh and ahh when I see people using sequins
on (or in) their creations, I really struggle with them.
I don't know how to place them and it really kind of
bugs me how they stick to my finger and don't go where I
want them to easily.  LOL real problems right?!  
Anyway...because I wanted another opportunity to create with the 
NEW Fawn'd of You stamp set (by artist Cheryl Grant)
I decided to accept this challenge.   I'm quite pleased with
how it turned out!  Take a look:

Easter is coming up soon and this set is so
perfect for that or just a general spring "hello"
card for someone you love.  I had this die cut panel
in my stash (from forever ago) that worked so
pretty over the top of a piece of yellow gingham 
patterned paper.  Lots of layers but still a fairly 
clean design. And what a fun sentiment too!

In addition to the KKS Challenge #473 - Sequins
I'm also entering this card in these great challenges:
Cardz  Galz Challenge #92 March Hares (or Rabbits)
Cute Card Thursday Challenge #574 Spring Fever!
Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenges - CUTE
If You Gave a Crafter a Cookie - Challenge #113
(inspired by the flowers and springy theme of the cookies)


I hope that you'll decide to play along with us this week.
Every time you enter one of the KKS challenges your
entry is put in the pot to win a $40 gift certificate
(drawn after the close of each month).  There's no 
limit to how many times you can play along - but
you do need to submit a new creation (not previously published 
or shared).  We love to see what you make - especially
with Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps products.  

Thanks for visiting me today.  Hugs! D
