July New Release Peeks DAY THREE and ANYTHING GOES CHALLENGE

Hello again! Happy weekend!

I'm happy that you're back to visit me today

because it's the final day of the Sneak Peeks

for the July 2020 Release at 

KRAFTIN' KIMMIE STAMPS!

And a new weekly challenge starts today too.

I'll bet you can guess the theme because it's the

same every month during release week...

Challenge #539  is ANYTHING GOES!

Haven't you just LOVED each of these new stamp sets

and coordinating stencils, inks and dots?

Do you have a favorite yet? 

If not this one just might be it!!!

Our final stamp set of the July release 

is by artist Melissa Baker-Nguyen 

and it's called LONG IN THE TOOTH!

 OH MY GOSH...isn't this awesome?! 

Just look at how CUTE they are and 

the fun sentiments and fonts! And

let's not forget about that leggy little bird. 

Before I show you my card today, I wanted to 

remind you of the LIVE ONLINE RELEASE PARTY

happening today in the Krafty Friends Facebook Group.

The FUN starts at 2pm EST - so hope you can be there.

AND...pretty quickly after the release party ALL

the new goodies will be loaded in the KKS shop 

and ready to jump into your shopping carts! 

Okay so are you ready to see what I've made?! 

Here it is...

This card features the SHE SELLS SEASHELLS stencil,

the PATTERN PARADE stencil, the new FRESH FIELDS

hybrid ink and the new SUMMER DOTS.  

My layout was inspired by the current

Freshly Made Sketches Challenge - #443.  

  After using the stencil the first time with the 

FRESH FIELDS ink, I then very very lightly spread some

Nuevo glitter paste through it again over the top of what I had

already inked.  The original green still shows through but now 

there is a lighter green shimmer on top of it. It's really cool in real life! 

Wish you could see that better!  I was tickled with how it turned out.  

Here's a couple more photos that show the details a bit better

So don't forget about the ANYTHING GOES challenge.

We love to see your creations in our gallery and

in the Krafty Friends Facebook Group too. 

Each time you enter a new creation you have a chance

to win the monthly prize of a $25 gift voucher to the KKS Store.

My Favorite Things - World Card Making Challenges - 4 for 4!

Hello again friends!  

Did you get some good crafty card making time 

in yesterday for World Card Making Day?  

I was able to make three of my DT cards for 

an upcoming October release (which will be revealed

next week) and I also made four - yes FOUR - cards

so I could play along with the WCMChallenges at

MY FAVORITE THINGS.  I'm pretty proud of

myself because I haven't made that many cards in

one day in a very long time :o)! So much fun!

All my cards are much more CAS and simple than

I usually do but I was pressed for time and wanted to play 

along.  I surprised myself and really like how they turned out!

Challenge #1 was to use the colors of the rainbow

Here's my first card for the 9 am challenge ROYGBIV

(Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Violet - I don't know what 

the I stands for :o)) using the fun mixing bowls from 

Kitschy Kitchen and a sentiment from You Bake Me Happy.

My background was colored with Distress ink oxide.

I thought about splattering it but decided I liked it clean.

The second challenge of the day was Die-namics Designs

to use 100% die cuts on the card.  Here's my card using 

Roses in Bloom.  

The third challenge of the day was By the Numbers 

and incorporate a # on your card.  

I used the sweet Baby Onesie die to make a 1st birthday card

And the fourth challenge of the day was to MAKE and MAIL

a card to someone. This one will be going to a friend that

I haven't had the pleasure of seeing for awhile.  We need to

"dish" and catch up on lots!  I had stamped a bunch of the little

bowls while I was deciding on my rainbow theme so decided to 

use them on this last card too.  

Stamps used are from Kitschy Kitchen, and You Bake Me Happy.

Thanks for visiting me today.  I apologize for the 

poor quality photos.  I was pretty late when I took the

pictures of the cards and didn't have time to redo them this

morning before I'm off to my volunteer clean up day

for the Lions Club.  Have a fantastic day peeps!  

Hugs! D

Today I'm sharing another card using another of  the
adorable animal stamps in the
PUDDLE PALS set by artist Emilie Goulet!

For my layout I used the MOJO MONDAY #492 Sketch

I'm also entering these great challenges:
Stamping Sensations: April Anything Goes
Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenges: Spring Color Inspiration

Keeping my post kind of  short and sweet today.

You have until MONDAY to get your order in for the Secret Klub set
(Kimmie has extended the deadline). She is giving you two clues
for this set 1) the artist is Emilie Goulet and 2) the theme is BEACH!
 Now it over to you...Happy hoppin'!

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!

I am linking up with the following challenges today:

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenges - Anything Goes

Penny's Paper-Crafty Challenges #317 - Anything Goes

Connie Can Stamp Monthly Challenge #55 - Stamp your Heart Out
