Create with Heather: July 2023

Inspirational Wednesday - All Aboard!

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 All Aboard stamp set, which you'll find on sale at 40% off all week!

This image makes for such a sweet birthday or even encouragement card. For this card I used the stencil "Chubby Clouds" and inked the back of it with "Amazing Azure" ink. I spritzed my cardstock then put the inked up stencil through my embossing machine. The ink stayed in the background and the clouds were nice and embossed. Some die cuts were used for the grass and the rail is a fence die that I cut the points off of. The grey piece is dry embossed using the "Rocky Road" stencil. The image is coloured with Copics, fussy cut and added to the scene. Some glossy accents and enamel dots and the card is ready to go. Full Steam Ahead....

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

I used Underwater Pals to make a cute slimline shaker card. Each of the critters was coloured and glittered up. The slimline die was cut multiple times for dimension and thus no foam tape. Love the little fish shapes for the shaker card too.

And.... if you need it all...

July Krafty Peeks... Day THREE! Barefoot Beach!

Today is our third day of Krafty Peeks for the July Release

at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps!

Today we are 'peeking' a beautiful scenery set

from artist Michelle Houghton

and it's called.....

BAREFOOT BEACH!

We now have a new seaside landscape to add to our collection!! If you're a fan, you'll also want to check out the beautiful Majestic Mountains scenery and Desert Landscape sets!!

Check out BAREFOOT BEACH! in so many creations today as you hop around the Krafty Team's blogs! You'll also see the new stencils along the way!

This stamp set reminded me of a beautiful sunset photo that you would take probably towards the end of a tropical vacation. I coloured it with Copics and using my Cricut made a Polaroid style frame from multiple layers of cardstock that were glued together to give it some dimension. This would be a great image for a scrapbook page as well.

You'll see more of our July goodies tomorrow, and then everything will be released after our LIVE Online Release Party on Saturday at 12 noon ET in the Krafty Friends facebook group!

For now, check out all the beautiful projects in today's hop!

See you tomorrow!

July Krafty Peeks... Day TWO! Underwater Pals!

Welcome back to Day TWO of our July 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 Neda Sadreddin

and it's called.....

UNDERWATER PALS!

This fun and fabulous set perfectly coordinates with the beautiful Mermaid Kisses set we shared yesterday!! Just think about the awesome underwater scenes you'll be creating!

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

For this card I used the stencil, Underwater Scenery and inked the back side with amazing azure ink, spritzed with water and then put the stencil on my cardstock. Leaving the cardstock and stencil in place, the stencil was run through the die cutting machine to emboss the area for the greenery. After the embossing, the greenery was inked up. I love the 3-D look of this technique and it was perfect for the fish in the water.

You'll see more of our July goodies all week, and then everything will be released after our LIVE Online Release Party on Saturday at 12 noon ET in the Krafty Friends facebook group!

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

See you tomorrow!

July Krafty Peeks... Day ONE! Mermaid Kisses!

Who's ready for lots of brand new Krafty goodies?!

It's time for our July Release Peeks to begin

at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps!

Today we have a beautiful underwater set to start off the week

and it's called.....

MERMAID KISSES!

You'll find three enchanting mermaids ready to share their magic and of course, in true Neda style, so many fantastic accessories!!

As you hop around the design team's blogs today you'll be able to check out MERMAID KISSES! in action in combination with our other new

July Kraftin' Kimmie products!

We've also got TWO new Krafty Stencils for this month's release to help add some funky fun to your creations!

They are called....
SASSY SEASHELLS

and

UNDERWATER SCENERY

(a 2 piece layering stencil!)

Both designs are perfect for all your cards, scrapbook pages, mixed media and more!

This is a different W style fold card I made using the sweet combination of "Sassy Seashells" stencil and "Mermaid Kisses" stamp. The Stencil was ink blended with Amazing Azure (the ink of the month), Pink Pizzaz and a little purple pansy. Then I put a little Diamond Stickles on top. The image was coloured with copics and then liquid pearls for the pearls in the treasure chest. The shell image from Cricut was made with glitter paper and then the card was assembled. I am pleased with how it turned out.

You'll get to see all of our brand new goodies in action over the next few days of the July Krafty Peeks and everything will be released at our LIVE Release Party

on Saturday, July 10th at 12 pm noon EST in the Krafty Friends group!
