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

of everything from this month at a discount (but only for a limited time).

to visit me for DAY ONE of the

super cute camping stamp sets by the

fabulous artist Cheryl Grant. 

There's GOOD IN THE WOODS

Oh my goodness I just love these two 

fabulous sets! They're perfect for spring & summer. 

I used a stamp from each set on my card today as well as

the Starburst Stencil with Bubbly Blue hybrid ink.
This card reminds me so much of my
daughter-in-law who loves camping and sitting 

around the camp fire (especially if there's smores).  

The layout for my card is based on the April KKS Sketch

(below) which I flipped and changed the main shape.

We also have another ANYTHING GOES Challenge

(as it is every month during new release week). 

We'd love to see you play along with us  and

The stamp set featured today in the peeks has 

the most adorable trio of fairies! 

It's called YOU GIVE ME WINGS by artist Neda Sadreddin.
 

I mean seriously...look at this awesome set!
The sweetness is off the charts!


I couldn't decide which fairy to showcase

so I picked all three!  And the "tweet" birds too!

I used the Krafty Scenery Stencil for the large circles

and added stars by using the NEW STARBURST STENCIL

and the Purple Pansy hybrid ink. I added a few of

the pretty SPRINGY ENAMEL DOTS too.

The fairies were fussy cut and some sparkle was added 

on the stars and wings with a glitter pen.  Super Sweet right?!

Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps January 2019 NEW Release DAY TWO - Beary Love

Welcome back for DAY TWO of the sneak peeks

for the fantastic NEW RELEASE at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps.

Today is all about some sweet cuddly love with  

this new clear stamp set called BEARY LOVE by

artist Melissa Baker-Nguyen! And....we also
have some other new goodies you might notice!

I created a one layer Valentine card to share with you today.

Those pretty pink hearts are made with the brand spanking NEW 

(and absolutely wonderful) HAPPY HEARTS STENCIL for the background 

panel.  I stamped the sweet little bear with KKS wicked black

hybrid ink (so perfect for all coloring mediums and it's available

in both a regular ink pad and a mini cube) and then masked around
it with a die cut circle before I inked up the background. That beautiful
color of the hearts is from the NEW KKS "PRETTY IN PINK" hybrid ink.  

I finished the card by coloring the image with copic markers.  

A very quick and fun card! Stencils are so awesome to create with!

Oh and did you notice those pretty enamel dots?!

These are also NEW to KKS - EEEeeeee!  

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

Addicted to Stamps and More #323 - Holiday

Super Cool Pals

Hello friends!  How's the weather in your neck of the woods?

Today was very cold but no snow.  I'm hoping that the

snow holds off for a couple more weeks until both my

kiddos are home for the holidays.  I'm generally not a fan

of snow UNLESS it's at Christmas AND I can build a

snowman.  Speaking of snowmen check out this adorable

fella from the UBER Cute stamp set called SUPER COOL PALS

from Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps.  I LOVE this set!

Those sweet sparkly snowflakes were made using the brand 

spankin' NEW Sparkling Snowflake Stencil  and some 

 BoBunny glitter paste in Torquoise.  The strip of snow along 

the bottom was made using Liquid Applique (all can be found in    

the Kraftin' Kimmie Shop  - follow the links to get your own).   

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

Kraftin' Kimmie Challenges #407 - Stencil(s)

Happy Saturday crafty friends!

The theme for Challenge #40 at 

KRAFTIN' KIMMIE CHALLENGES

is to use a STENCIL.

I've purchase several stencils but have very seldom used them.

They are so much fun to use and I honestly can't tell you

why I don't think to pull them out more often and play with them.

I'm just such a patterned paper addict that this is usually my go to.

However, I accepted the challenge today and pulled out an

unused stencil and got inky!!  Ohhh my goodness what fun!

For my card today I used a large medallion one and inked it 

up like a Christmas wreath.  Then I used one of the awesome

sentiments from THE MAGIC OF CHRISTMAS,

Isn't it stunning?  And it should be pretty easy to mail since it'

isn't super layered up.  I'm really happy with how it turned out!

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

Crafty Friends Challenges #70 CHRISTMAS

Crafty Catz Challenges #392 "No Pattern Papers"

Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps - March NEW Release Blog Hop

My card for today uses the super sweet spring/Easter set
from artist Cheryl Grant BLESSINGS OF PEACE!

I had lots of fun with this card.  That sweet little lamb
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.
