Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps - May 2017 NEW Release Blog Hop Celebration

Happy Mother's Day!

Are you ready for some amazing inspiration today?!
I sure hope so because the SIX new clear stamp sets that we've
been sharing all week for KRAFTIN' KIMMIE STAMPS are
  NOW available in the krafty shop AND we're celebrating
with a Krafty HOP! The Krafty Krew and our fantastic 

guests have pulled out all their creative genius karma

and have some amazing creations to share with you today
featuring the new stamps for May!

This month of new releases has been my favorite so far 

(okay I know I've said that a time or two before but really

I think it is!!!).   Grab your favorite beverage, get comfy
and start hopping along with us.    

I'm using one of the two fantastic new sets by artist Cheryl Grant

called "COWS IT GOING".  Take a peek!

I got some Prisma Color colored pencils for my birthday 

this year (a set of 72). This is my first real attempt at coloring 

the entire image with them.  I'm pretty happy with how it looks :o) 

This stamp set just steals my heart.  I love cows! 

Thanks so much for popping in to visit me today. 

Now off you go to the next person in the list.  Enjoy! 

Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps NEW Release DAY FOUR and ANYTHING GOES Challenge

Happy weekend crafty peeps! 

I get the pleasure of being your hostess for this week's 

challenge and because it's peek week for the May NEW releases

at KRAFTIN KIMMIE the theme is ANYTHING GOES!

of you LOVE Mermaids And we've got TWO new one for you!
 First up is FLORENCE FINBOTTOM!

And the second one is SANDY SEAWATER!

I used Sandy Seawater on my card today - take a peek:

I stamped these images in Memento London Fog (light grey) ink
so I could try the no-lines technique.  Many of my krafty DT
teammates have this technique mastered but I've only done it one
other time before.  I'm pretty happy with this second attempt, but then
I think it would be hard to mess up this beautiful image too much :o)!

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenges - Going Dotty
Craft Rocket Challenges #37 - Fantasy
Penny's Paper-Crafty Challenges #328 - Anything Goes

was a snap to color with my copics.  I masked around him
sponged through a stencil for the background pattern.
Then I added the punched grass and the die cut clouds
sentiment (layered) and sun.  I think this could be a
sweet design for a baby card as well.

spring or Easter is my take on this

4 Crafty Chicks Challenges {4CC #341} - Spring Fever with Sponging

Hello! Happy Thursday! 

This is my second week of guest designing for 

4 CRAFTY CHICK CHALLENGES! 

This week the theme challenge from Nance for 

4CC #341 is "Spring Fever with Sponging".

I woke up to about 2 inches of new snow today - bah!

Oh boy do I ever have spring fever! 

Can't wait to see the pretty flowers poking their

colorful faces out of the ground! 

Come on Spring!  I'm ready!

Here's my card to share with you for this challenge

I used a panel of cardstock (Stampin' Up!) that had 

the pattern already on it.  Then I used a sponge to rub 

different colored inks (also Stampin' Up!) around the panel 

to magically make the pattern appear.  I got a little heavy handed 

a time or two in spots - oops.  I also used sponge daubers to

get the spots of color in places.  The sentiment is one from 

 a set called "Sincere Thanks" by Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps.

 I finished the inside too with an extra piece of the panel

and a second sentiment from "Love Story Sentiments" 

also by Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps. 

So until spring actually shows up here I can

look at this and dream :o).  

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

Krafty Komeback - Angie

Today a retired favorite from KRAFTIN' KIMMIE STAMPS
 has made a krafty komeback!! You might remember
this sassy lady who was one of the most popular images
from artist Annie Rodrigue.  Say "Hello" again to ANGIE!!
The new sentiments match Angie's attitude perfectly!!

My card uses the original Angie.  As you can see she isn't 

too much different in the newer version.  She does have
a bigger cup though :o).  The sentiment I used here 

is from ONE CUP AT A TIME.

  

I loved her then and I love her now!

I can so relate to her messy hair, big bathrobe and both hands 

wrapped around the coffee cup. I think I need to have 

both sets - just because I love her so much!

Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps NEW Release PEEKS Feb 2017 and ANYTHING GOES CHALLENGE

Hello Hello Hello! 

Today at KRAFTIN' KIMMIE CHALLENGES

we have the ANYTHING GOES theme for
this week AND another PEEK at the awesome 

NEW RELEASE stamps for February 2017.

AND the  LIVE Online Release party is this afternoon!

Aren't you just loving the peeks so far? 

Today we have another awesome set for the boy atheletes
by artist Emilie Goulet called "SPORTY BOYS".

An awesome set with two boys and some
very fun sentiments!!!

Such a great set to use for boys - but I'd love to receive a
with one of them on it too!  I absolutely adore this set!

Here's my peek card to share with you today
 

This is my year of trying things that push me a bit

out of my comfort zone creatively.  I love the look

of doodling but always struggle with it.  I decided 

to just go for it and not to try and  make it "perfect".

It is, after all, doodling :o).

The other thing I don't do a lot of is CAS and leaving a 

a borderless card base.  With this card it was easy because 

I used a panel of patterned paper sized was 4 1/2" x 5 1/2" 

(Your Next Stamp) that looks very much like a card stock base. 

I popped up the main panel with a foam sheet (SugarPea Designs)

for more dimension.  I really do love how it turned out <3.

I'd like to enter my card in the following challenges:

Jo's Scrap Shack Challenge #175 "Anything Goes"

Crafting with Friends Challenge #36 - Anything Goes

Crafting from the Heart Challenges #145 "Anything Goes"

Sweet Stampin' Challenge Blog (2/11) - "Masculine"

As I mentioned above the challenge this week (and every Saturday 

during release weeks) is ANYTHING GOES! So create a card, scrapbook 

page or altered item with any stamp but if you use a Kraftin' Kimmie 

stamp you'll double your chances to WIN! 

Have some krafty fun and join us this week!

Please plan to join us for all the fun and excitement and prizes 

this afternoon beginning at 2pm EST! You can come hang out Kimmie  

and the Krafty Team at our  LIVE Online Release party!
