 Who's ready for some brand new Krafty Goodies?

It's time to bring you NEW stamp sets and layering stencils
from Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps!

In case you haven't heard, we are moving the release to every other month but the same number of wonderful products!

So we will be sharing FOUR new stamp sets (including a summer Krafty Komeback) and TWO new sets of layering stencils over the course of this week!

Today we are excited to kick things off with a stunning and elegant stamp set from artist Michelle Houghton called 
FLORAL FUN!!  

I love floral stamps that are easy to color and 

slightly whimsical in style. 

Michelle's newest set checks both the boxes

for me and I LOVE it!! 

I have two cards to share with you today...

The flowers on both cards were colored

with copic markers. I used a no-lines t

technique on the tulip clusters 

I hope you enjoyed my peeks today.

See you tomorrow for another 

new release peek.  

Thanks for stopping by!! 

As you head out on today's Krafty Hop you'll get to enjoy lots of gorgeous creations from our Krafty Team featuring FLORAL FUN in combination with some of our other incredible products such as our Krafty Kolours Hybrid Inks!

Pinkfresh Studio - January 2022 Challenge - celebrate you!

 Oh hello again! I'm back with another card

that I made for the Pinkfresh Studio January 2022 Challenge.

I had a great crafty day and was able to make not one but three

cards for this challenge.  It ends in two days so I had to 

get 'er done if I wanted to play along!

This time for the January 2021 recap theme

I picked November and the wreath theme.

I used the Daisy Wreath stncil again 

(I absolutely LOVE this gorgeous stencil)

and the coordinating die cut. 

I also used the beautiful Essentials Folk Art dies,

the Plaid stencil, several of the pretty inks,

a pre-cut, pre-foiled sentiment (so

awesome as I don't yet have a hot foil machine)

and some of the stunning blingy PF jewels. 

I'm also entering the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge - Anything Goes. 

Here's my card:

Here's a couple other views

I struggle a little with placement of bling. 

I seriously overthink it. Do you do that too?

Seriously though it shouldn't be such a

struggle when it's this pretty - just add lots! 

Thanks for visiting me today (again)! D

Pinkfresh Studio - January 2022 Challenge "2021 Recap" - Daisy Wreath

 Hello! Hope you are doing well today!

I'm sharing one of the cards that I made for the 

January 2022 Pinkfresh Studio Challenge

where the theme is "2021 Recap". 

What fun to be able to choose from any of

the previous months challenges of 2021.

I wanted to do them all! But, since I usually

struggle to even get one entered in a normal month

I decided to focus on using a stencil that 

I really, really wanted but has been sitting in 

my crafty stash for too long.  

This is for the March 2021 recap theme of Flowers. 

This card features the Daisy Wreath Stencil 

and the Essentials Folk Edge Rectangle Dies

I also used several of the Pinkfresh inks

(that I was so happy to finally get!), and one of

the pre-foiled, pre-cut sentiments along with

some beautiful bling from the PF jewels.

Take a peek (I apologize for the poor photo -

really bad light in my house at night).

I hope you like it! I loved making it. 

I'm also entering this card in the 

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge - Anything Goes

Freshly Made Sketches #500!

Hello lovely crafty friends! Thanks for popping in to visit me today.

Today I'm sharing card I made for the celebration 

at FRESHLY MADE SKETCHES for Challenge #500.

The sketch is a classic clean style and there are 

lots of sponsors and prizes for this momentous accomplishment.

One of the sponsors is Gina K Designs. 

I recently attended an online crafting event and 

received this beautiful layering stencil set as part of 

the event package.  I haven't had near enough time to

play with it so I thought this was a great occasion to do so. 

Before I show you my card - here's the sketch #500

and here's my card based on it.

I'm also entering this in the following challenges:

Little Red Wagon Challenge #616 - Stencil Power

and 

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge (8/25) - Anything Goes

Congratulations Freshly Made Sketches and thanks

for the continual inspiration.  Here's to 500 more sketches! 

March Sneak Peeks Finale and Anything Goes Challenge - Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps!

  Today is our final day of Krafty Peeks for the March Release
 at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps!

We are so excited to share a beautiful floral set 

by our newest artist (and Design Team Member) 

Michelle Houghton called...

WILDFLOWER WONDER!!

These gorgeous set is perfect for your Spring projects, 
and the sentiments are so wonderful and full of hope!

I'll be the first to admit that I'm not often comfortable with coloring 

flowers. But I fell in love with these beautiful images!  

I pulled out my watercolors and this is what I did with them.

I just kept imaging them kind of softly blowing in the breeze.

My colors were inspired by this background that's been 

laying on my craft desk for quite some time just waiting

for the perfect thing to go on it.  Truthfully, I know I'm

not the best at this watercoloring technique but the

process of doing this and the end result just makes 

my heart happy.  I love how it turned out and can't wait

to try other things with these beautiful flowers and 

uplifting sentiments.  I hope you like it too! 

Those pretty clear dots that look like raindrops are part of 

the March Add-On Kit (Shimmerz Embellishments).  Just put a 

drop of clear glue on the bottom and your good to go. Very easy.

As you hop around the design team's blogs today you'll be able to check out WILDFLOWER WONDER in action in combination with a lot of our other new March Kraftin' Kimmie products!  

Of course today is also challenge day and as always during release week, it's Anything Goes!  So create a card, scrapbook page, altered item, planner page....with some Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps products for your chance to WIN the monthly prize!

May 2020 NEW Release Sneak Peeks - Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps - Day TWO - Perfect Peony

Hello and welcome to DAY TWO of the 

May 2020 NEW Release Sneak Peeks for

KRAFTIN' KIMMIE STAMPS!

Today we have a beyond gorgeous large floral stamp with a 

beautiful sentiment.  It's called PERFECT PEONY 

My mom loves flowers of all types, so I used this

stamp to make her Mother's Day card.

Once again I used the beautiful SUMMER SUNSHINE 

hybrid ink (NEW) with the SUMMER SUNBURST stencil

on the background.  I absolutely LOVE this stencil!

The dots are from the NEW RAINBOW BRIGHT DOTS.
The sentiment is from HAPPY THOUGHTS (currently
out of stock but you can get notified when its back) - I thought it
was perfect for a Mother's Day card.  I used Zig watercolor
markers to color the flower and then went over it with the
yellow ink as I was stenciling.  I really like the way it turned out.

Here's a look at the stamp set and sentiment - be prepared to
be wowed by it's stunning details and layers of the petals

This and all the new May products will be in the Krafty Shop
immediately following the LIVE On-Line Release Party on
Saturday, May 16th at 2pm EST.  Come join us for some
fun conversation and sharing.

I know that there are some absolutely ahhhmazing
samples from the rest of the Kraft DT - just click
on the links below and go visit them next.
One lucky commenter will receive some krafty $$
to spend in the KKS Store just for leaving some love.
So don't forget to tell them what you love about their creation!
Thanks for visiting me today!  I hope you come back for
DAY THREE tomorrow - it's another awesome peek day!!
