show you more of the fantastic July NEW Release products!

I used MY GNOMIES on my card today.  I've never had

gnomes in my garden or yard, but this stamp set is

definitely making me re-think that because they are

SO STINKIN' CUTE!  

I added a couple of the PASTEL DOTS and used the 

 PARTY PEACH ink for my sentiment piece.

I really love this new ink color - subtle yet so pretty!

Here's a look at the rest of this awesome stamp set

Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps BLOG HOP Celebration for June 2019 NEW Release

It's BLOG HOP DAY!
I love this day of the new release each month.

It's so fun to see all the different ways that the

KKS DT  and our special guest designer use all the new products. 

I played with HIP HIPPO-RAY! and the

WONDERFUL WAVES STENCIL to create a fun scene. 

The waves were created with the NEW Salty Sea ink.

The sentiment was stamped with Wicked Black ink.

(Just as a little side plug - the wicked black ink

is a must have in my book.  It's amazing!)

I also used some of the pretty UNDERWATER DOTS.

I'm so happy you've stopped in to visit me today.  I hope that 

you will hop on down to the rest of the links and enjoy some

more inspiration created for you by the krafty krew DT. 

All THREE new clear stamp sets are NOW available over at the Krafty Shop,

along with our new Salty Sea inks, TWO new stencils and the new

Underwater Krafty Dots! Yaaaay!

You can pick and choose - or for those of you who loved it all there's

an awesome deal called GIMME KIMMIE kit which contains one

of everything from this month at a discount (but only for a limited time).

Kraftin' Kimmie Challenge #478 - Texture

Happy weekend crafty peeps!

Today I get the pleasure of being the hostess

for Challenge #478 at KRAFTIN' KIMMIE CHALLENGES.

The theme I've chosen is TEXTURE.

There are so many ways to add texture to your

creations.  One way that has become my favorite

is to use glitter or embossing paste with stencils. 

My card uses the super adorable YOU GIVE ME WINGS stamp set.

My texture was created with some BoBunny glitter paste, some 

die cut grass and hills, coloring of the wood on the door, the

rocks on the fairy hideaway and lots of layers.  

See it's easier than you might have thought to add texture.    

To make this card, I started by sponging the main panel

with the new Sparkling Sapphire KKS hybrid ink all over.

After that dried, the stars were added using the 

STARBURST stencil (released in March).

I added some Yummy Yellow KKS hybrid ink to the clear

glitter paste (so easy to do and create colors you want if you

don't have them already).  I also stenciled the "rocks" on 

the fairy house.  It was a really fun card to make and I'm  

happy with how it turned out.  I wish you could see  

the depth and sparkle in real life!

I'm also entering this card in the 

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge - Anything Goes.

I hope you will decide to accept my challenge this week

and play along with us at KKS.  Each time you enter 

you increase your chances to win a $40 gift certificate 

to use in the KKS Shop.  We especially love when you

share your creations using KKS stamps and products! 

Thanks for visiting me today!  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

KRAFTIN' KIMMIE CHALLENGES #473 is SEQUINS.

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

Guest Designer - Krafty Chicks Challenges #446 - Shades of Green Only

Howdy!  Hope you're having a wonderful day!

This is my second week of Guest Designing for

the Krafty Chicks Challenges.  Such an honor

to be playing with the talented Chicks!

The theme for this week -  Challenge #446 

is Shades of Green Only.

My brain literally went straight to shamrocks and

St. Patty's Day because of the holiday (there is not

one tiny little bit of Irish in my DNA), but you could 

also interpret this as Spring or nature (trees/grass etc.)

The trick is that we ONLY want to see shades of green

- no other colors except neutrals and skin tones. 

I found this Doodlebug Designs paper in my stash

and colored and die cut some adorable Silly Monsters from 

Your Next Stamp for my Shades of Green card.

I stamped each image in a light grey ink instead

of the traditional black for a no-lines look.  

Aren't they funny?!

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

Your Next Stamp (YNS) Fun Friday Challenge #109 - Patterned Paper

Jo's Scrap Shack Fun Friday Challenges FFC#272 Always Anything Goes

Crafty Gals Corner: Challenge #187 Add a Shamrock/Clover

I hope that you'll decide to play along with us this 

week and show us how you interpret the

Shades of Green Only challenge. 

The Krafty Chicks DT have some

really awesome green creations to share

with you so go check them out too!  

Thanks for visiting me today!  Hugs! D

Valentines' Day 2018 - My Feelings for You are STRONG

Hello sweet friends!

Did you have a good Valentine's Day?

We kept it low key this year.  I had planned

to make a special dinner since I had the day off

but then the hubster woke up with the flu. 

Poor guy!  I followed him around everywhere he 

went with the Lysol spray - LOL.  Very romantic, right?!

 I'm so freaked out abut getting this as I'm starting a 

new job on Tuesday and I need to stay well.  

Hopefully we will have our dinner on Friday.

Today I'd like to share the card I made for my husband.  

Details: heart beat die cut and Stay Strong stamp set

BEARY MERRY (and coordinating dies). 

The sentiment is from Santa's Wonderland.  

I colored the bear on kraft paper with copics and then

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 Challenges #379 "Summer"

Hello wonderful crafty peeps!

It's the last Saturday of April already - wow!

Do you have any fun weekend plans?

It's supposed to be cold here so I made a big pot

of homemade vegetable beef soup. I'm not excited

about the cold - in fact I really am ready for the

warmer weather.  But the rain is making things green

and I do love homemade soup on a cold day :o).   

I have a card to share with you that I made for 

Kraftin' Kimmie Challenges #379 where the theme

this week is SUMMER!  Oh I am really looking 

forward to summer! Sunshine, flowers, popsicles,

time at the lake, warm weather, green grass, 

flip flops, and bbq time with family.  

 My card today features one of the beautiful lasses 

from  the KKS clear stamp set called Tweetie Birds.

I used lots of flowers on my card (and in the dsp) because 

summer to me means flowers, sunshine & birds singing!

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

Kraftin' Kimmie Wonderful Wednesday - {Look for Rainbows}

Hello lovely crafty friends - Happy Wednesday!

It's time for another ANYTHING GOES Challenge

for Wonderful Wednesday at KRAFTIN' KIMMIE!

My card today features the beautiful young 

gal from Look for Rainbows along with a retired

sentiment from a previous set (sorry about that) that 

has been laying on my craft desk for awhile and seemed

so perfect for this.  That small grass piece on the bottom

was also on the desk waiting to be used :o). 

Are you like me and seldom throw your bits and pieces

and/or rejects away in the hopes that some day you will use them? 

 In this case I'm really glad that I did :o).  

I had colored this image as practice for a color-along that I did

last month for Kraftin' Kimmie in the Facebook Friends group.

I later fussy cut around her and placed her on this card.
