Hello again!  I'm so happy that you're back to 

visit me today for DAY TWO of the April New Release

sneak peeks for KRAFTIN' KIMMIE STAMPS!

Didn't you just love what you saw yesterday? 

Well... get ready to fall even more in love with 

what we have to show you today!

Our krafty girl Sabrina van Vloten has designed another

absolutely adorable stamp set! It's Called Fairy Folk. Take a look:

I had so much fun coloring up these sweet little images! 

Here's my card to share with you:

I bet you can spot a couple other new goodies.

A stencil, some dots and a new purple hybrid ink. 

(I must say that I am completely over the moon for this

amazing new Gorgeous Grape ink).  

The new Beautiful Butterflies stencil is soooo pretty!

It looks great as a background but could also just be a 

stunning panel with a sentiment and a few of the new

Rainy Day dots.  I also used the Krafty Scenery 2 stencil

for the grass (with Charming Chartreuse ink).  The sky is

blended with the Bubbly Blue hybrid ink.   

What do you think? Do you like today's peek? 

And if you can even believe it we still have MORE

coming tomorrow!!!  Whoo Hoo!

ALL the new April goodies will be released on

Spring is Coming - Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps

Hello!  I was such a busy little bee today. 
It snowed all day long and was very cold outside

so I crafted, I purged and I organized! Woo hoo!

I have been on a kick lately of using stencils for backgrounds

or scenes.  This card was made for the special celebration 

challenges this weekend in the Kraftin' Kimmie Friends 

Facebook Group.  We are celebrating reaching 6,000 plus

followers and Kim's birthday with five special challenges.

Kim's favorite color is purple so that's the theme/color

for challenge #5.  I inked up some purple tinged clouds

with the Krafty Basics stencil.  Really loving how it

turned out and wishing it was spring and not still

winter here - lol!  Here's my card -

that adorable little lamb and sentiment are from

the KKS stamp set called Easter Blessings. 

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

International Art & Soul challenge #51 Make Your Own Background

Crafty Animals Challenges #23 - Always Anything Goes

Catch the Bug Challenges - February Anything Goes

Crazy 4 Challenges - C4C469 - Ground hog or other critters 

Crafty Catz - Challenge #447 A.G. w/Option of Lots of Layers

Addicted to Stamps and More challenge #326 - Anything Goes

Well that's it from me today.  Need to get myself to bed

and ready for work tomorrow.  Why do the weekends 

go by so much faster than the rests of the week? 

Thanks so much for visiting my blog today.  Hugs! D

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:

The Crafty Addicts Challenge 36 "Anything Goes"

Always Fun Challenges #7 Anything Goes

Crafting From the Heart Challenge #160 Anything Goes

A Bit More Time to Craft #40 Anything Goes

Penny's Paper-Crafty Challenges #330 anything goes

DANDYLION is now available in the Krafty Store!!!

Ready set GO!!! You know you want her :o)

It's also Frugal Friday and there's FOUR fabulous sets 

on SALE 40% OFF! But only for the weekend and only while
