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).

You are invited to the Inlinkz link party!

It's DAY ONE of the sneak peeks for the 

June Release from KRAFTIN' KIMMIE STAMPS!

I'm so excited to share this with you - I've had so

much fun creating and playing with the new

WONDERFUL WAVES STENCIL, SALTY SEA hybrid ink, 

UNDERWATER DOTS and....HIP HIPPO-RAY
stamp set by artist Melissa Baker-Nguyen!

Super cute images and four fun sentiments too!

Here's the card I made to share with you today:

Isn't this hippo the CUTEST thing EVER???!

Just out there floating and enjoying the sun

(rays made from the LOTS OF DOTS stencil

and Yummy Yellow hybrid ink).

The waves were made with three of the Krafty hybrid inks -

Salty Sea (NEW), Lovely Lagoon and Mermaid Melody.

These inks just blend so nicely through the stencils.

Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps are my favorite stamps.  And
guess what??? You are Correct!!  I am completely a sucker for
cute stamps.  KKS has lots of  fun, whimsical
stamps that just seem to work for so many occassions.
They stamp so crisply and beautifully and are so much
fun to color and create with.  And of the owner, Kimmie
Reid, is an absolute doll.  I am living the dream to be
able to design with her stamps and share my creations with you.

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!
