Mid Month April Saturday Challenge #667 - Stitching, Stencils and/or Orange!

   Good morning and welcome to our  

Monthly Saturday Challenge Mid Inspiration Post

We are back today with an inspirational post showcasing more ideas to inspire you and help get your creative juices flowing!
We can't wait to see what you create!

This month the challenge themes for you are: 

STITCHING, STENCILS AND/OR ORANGE!


You can choose any or all - whatever inspires you!


Our Ink Of The Month, which will be on sale all month long, just happens to be a lovely shade of orange!! This month features the gorgeous Cool Canteloupe Ink Pad, Cube and Reinker! Grab it now to add to your collection.





I chose all 3 of the challenges for my card. 
I used the stamp set "Hey You" and the Falling Leaves stencil.  I used gilding flakes with the stencil and coloured the images using Prismacolor Pencils which is a change for me, but I am super happy with the way that they turned out.  I needed a piece of orange cardstock for a mat so I ink blended some Cool Cantaloupe ink on my white mat and I have the perfect colour to highlight the card. The dies for the mats are stitched too.

   Every month we post a brand new challenge with three themes to choose from, and a mid month inspiration post with even more creative ideas! You are welcome to enter as many times as you like.

April Krafty Peeks... Day THREE! Dino-mite!

        Today is our final day of Krafty Peeks for the April Release 

 at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps!


We are so excited to share a fabulous prehistoric dinosaur set 

by artist Neda Sadreddin

 called...

DINO-MITE!



These awesome dinos are ready to party and send some sweet wishes out to their friends!


Check out DINO-MITE in so many amazing creations today as you hop around the Krafty Team's blogs!  You'll also see the beautiful new stencils, CHARMING CHEVRON and ON THE GO along the way! 





I just love these Dino-saurs.  The images are perfect for cards for kids or adults. The first card is great for an adult.  Don't forget to decorate the inside of your card too!  I used Cool Cantaloupe ink for the inside and to stamp the little dino in the egg.

The second card is a simple barn door style card.  The sentiment was stamped in black and the Charming chevrons stencil was used with Cool Cantaloupe ink for strategically placed arrows.

Everything will be released after our LIVE Online Release Party TODAY!  All the fun takes place in the Krafty Friends facebook group beginning at 2 pm ET!  See you there!

April Krafty Peeks... Day TWO! Majestic Mountains!

   Welcome back to Day TWO of our April Krafty Peeks!

Are you excited about what you've seen so far!?  Are you ready for more?

I hope your answer was yes because we've got more fabulous fun for you today!




The stamp set we are 'peeking' for you today is from 

artist Michelle Houghton
 and it's called.....

MAJESTIC MOUNTAINS!


This beautiful mountain background would be the perfect backdrop to create a scene for your images - or amazing alone with a sentiment!

 Check out MAJESTIC MOUNTAINS and our new stencils in so many awesome creations today as you hop around the Krafty Team's blogs!  


This beautiful stamp set spoke to me as a great Birthday card.  I made a mask of the mountain and inked up a sunrise behind the mountains.  The scene was coloured with copics and I added a stream.  Using diorama dies, it looks like you are looking at a secret spot.  The trees on the left are fussy cut and popped up overtop of the stamped ones.  


You'll see more of our April goodies all week, and then everything will be released after our LIVE Online Release Party on Saturday at 2 pm ET in the Krafty Friends facebook group!  

*Be sure to join us for our Live Release Party as one lucky Facebook commenter will win Krafty $'s!!



For now, check out all the fantastic goodness in today's hop!
See you tomorrow!

The dot splatter on this card was made with the "Spring Scenery" stamp and Amazing Azure Ink.


These are such sweet travelling critters that I love making them the focal point of my cards. 
This little bunny was coloured up with Brown tone copics.  The background is a piece of newspaper style cardstock that I stenciled over with the "On the Go" stencil using texture paste and Sandy Shores reinker.  This is a great way to use up some of those papers that you aren't overly fond of anymore

Inspirational Wednesday - Love Bugs!

          Hello Krafty Friends!

It's INSPIRATIONAL WEDNESDAY,
the day we provide you with a bit of extra krafty inspiration
to help you get creative with your krafty stamps!

 
Hi everyone, It's Krafty girl Heather here and this week we are featuring the fabulous Love Bugs stamp set, which you'll find on sale at 40% off all week!



This set is just adorable.  To make my card, I stamped the flower in the corner and the "bugs" separately using Wicked Black ink.  After masking the flower and a small border around the white cardstock, I used Blue Bay ink and Krafty Scenery 4 stencil to make a cloud background.  The sentiment, from "Royal Sentiments" is stamped with Wicked Black Ink, Versamark and then embossed with clear embossing powder.  The bugs were coloured with Copics, fussy cut and added on top of the flower.  The card front was layered and some tiny embellishments added (from my stash).  This card and sentiment is perfect for an Anniversary, Wedding or just I love you.  




Make sure you head to the shop and add Love Bugs to your cart while it's 40% off!
