Challenge #687 - Snow and/or Stencils

 Good morning and welcome to our 

New Monthly Challenge

at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps!

 Are you ready for another krafty challenge to inspire you and help get your creative mojo going? We've got some fabulous prompts for you and can't wait to see what YOU create!

This month our challenge themes for you are:

Snow/Stencils

You can choose one theme or combine them!
Enter as many times as you like all month long!
It's a Choose Your Own Krafty Adventure!

I used both themes - snow and stencils.  I used the image from 'Frosty Fun'  for my main image. Frosty Fun! – Kraftin Kimmie Stamps After stamping the image in Kraftin Kimmie wicked black ink, I coloured it with my Copics and then fussy cut.  I dry embossed a piece of white cardstock using one of the stencils from the 'Let it snow' layering stencil set.  Let It Snow Layering Stencils! – Kraftin Kimmie Stamps  I found a cute die in my stash with snowflakes that made a perfect shaker card.  The sentiment is from 'Snowball Fight' Snowball Fight! – Kraftin Kimmie Stamps and stamped in Dapper Denim ink.  The shaker fill was in my stash as well.  I am trying to use what I have.

Every month we post a brand new challenge with a choice of 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.

These must be new creations and you are welcome to use any stamp, however, using Kraftin' Kimmie Stamp products will earn you double entries!

Who loves the "Air Mail" stamp set? **NEW Air Mail! – Kraftin Kimmie Stamps  I adore the little image of the bear in the helicopter.  Of course, if you know me, I had to change the bear image and make it a panda. I stamped the image in Kraftin Kimmie Wicked Black Ink and then coloured it up with Copics, in blue, gray and silvers,  to match my papers.  A simple and easy card.

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!

August Krafty Peeks... Day THREE! Fall Favourites!

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

 at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps!

We are so excited to share a fabulous new set 

by artist Sabrina van Vloten

 called...

FALL FAVOURITES!

Sabrina's sweet critter friends are back with their favourite Fall treats!! If you're a fan of Fall, this is going to be a must have, and if you love these cute animals, be sure to check out more of Sabrina's sets!

Check out FALL FAVOURITES! in so many amazing creations today as you hop around the Krafty Team's blogs!  You'll also see the beautiful new stencils, LEAFY MANDALA and PERFECT PIES along the way! 

These little critters are so cute.  I used the Perfect Pies stencil with the bear eating the pie from Fall Favourites and made the bear into a panda. A few glossy accents and a brown crust and yummy--I am craving cherry pie!

I used the squirrel and rabbit drinking a foamy latte for my second card.  The latte has some sparkle and I added some Krafty dots to the sentiment oval.  Yummy--now I want a latte too! 

  

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!

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
