This month's inspiration is the Ocean or WILD CARD. Of course, I chose the wild card. I chose my favourite (current) stamp set, Pandamonium.

If you know me, I adore pandas and the colour purple. I used both to make this slimline card. I also made what I call a "faux shaker" card. I used sequins placed randomly all over the background of the cutout. The pandas were coloured with Copic markers, C9, 7,6, and of course purple.

Do you have a favourite stamp set and colour? Let's see what you create!

July Skrappy Challenge!

Good morning, my Krafty Friends!

It's JULY and that means it's time for a new
Skrappy Challenge
at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps!

The theme of course is ANYTHING BUT A CARD!

For this challenge you can make anything that strikes your fancy....except a card! So design a new scrapbook page, bookmark, tag, altered item, planner page, art journal, ATC cards...whatever you like!

Just make sure to include some Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps products and make sure it's a new creation!

I chose to use our new Stamp Set, Sum-sum-summertime **NEW Sum-Sum-Summertime! – Kraftin Kimmie Stamps to make this ATC. The image was stamped with Kraftin Kimmie Wicked Black ink Wicked Black Ink Pad! – Kraftin Kimmie Stamps and coloured using Copic markers. I used the Summer Sunburst stencil and inked it up with a light layer of Sandy Shores ink Sandy Shores Ink Pad! – Kraftin Kimmie Stamps, and then a little Bashful Blush ink Bashful Blush Ink Pad! – Kraftin Kimmie Stamps to fill in and edge the outside of the white cardstock. After fussy cutting the images were placed onto the cardstock and the sentiment was added with Wicked Black Ink. This image reminds me so much of Neopolitan Ice cream. Yummy. What is your favourite flavour of ice cream?

Today we are revealing our last stamp set which will be releasing tomorrow afternoon at 3pm ET!

GOOD TIMES & TAN LINES!

It's the perfect summer stamp set with these adorable kiddos!

I love this stamp set. The images remind me so much of fun times in the summer. Great for cards or scrapbook pages too. I used the little boy to make a card with this set. I used some of the accessory stamps, which are awesome, to create a scene at the beach. I added a little bit of embossing powder to the bucket to make some sand as well

Who wants to hang out at the beach or the pool??
Let's go splish splashing!

June Krafty Peeks....Day THREE!

Good morning and welcome to Day THREE

of our June Krafty Peeks!

It's called SUM-SUM-SUMMERTIME!

Today we are sharing a KRAFTY KOMEBACK stamp set!

For those who are new around these parts, Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps will be celebrating 15 years this fall so we have a lot of retired images most people have never seen before! (And there are lots of requests for past stamp sets!) So once in a while we bring a set back and this one will be back this weekend!

This is a new stamp set for me and I love it. All of the images are so summery. I chose to make a centre opening card and combined several images to make this card. I stamped my images in Sandy Shores ink and coloured with Copic markers. I fussy cut the images, used the sand castle in the centre and the flip flops along with some other die cut images were used for the closure. So fun!!

AND check out this scrumptious new coordinating stencil!

It's called I SCREAM, YOU SCREAM!!!

It's a set of TWO layering stencils to create this colourful summertime background! Yummy!

Happy hoppin' and see YOU tomorrow for more awesome goodies!

June Krafty Peeks.....Day TWO!

Welcome back!

Did you enjoy yesterday's Peeks?
Well, we are back with MORE fun stuff!

Today we are spotlighting a new stamp set from artist Sabrina van Vloten called I BEE-lieve in YOU!

Look at those adorable fluffy bees!!

As you head out on today's Krafty Hop you'll get to enjoy lots of gorgeous creations from our Krafty Team featuring I BEE-lieve in YOU! and our incredibly adorable new BUMBLEBEE set of layering stencils in combination with some of our other incredible products such as our Krafty Kolours Hybrid Inks!

I used this cute stamp to make a mini slimline card. The image was stamped in our incredible Kraftin Kimmie Wicked Black and coloured with Copic markers. I used Kraftin Kimmie Granite Grey and Kraftin Kimmie Summer Sunshine and Kraftin Kimmie Ocean Opulence Inks with our amazing stencil. I added some Stickles on top of the wings to give it that glitter that I love. These bee images are a great size too.
