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!

April 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 Michelle Houghton called FRUITY FUN!

Who doesn't love fruit?
  And fruit plus puns.....equals tons of FUN!

As you head out on today's Krafty Hop you'll get to enjoy lots of gorgeous creations from our Krafty Team featuring FRUITY FUN and the FRESH FRUIT stencil in combination with some of our other incredible products such as our Krafty Kolours Hybrid Inks!

I used the grapes image from the Fruity Fun stamp set (purple grapes of course!) along with the Fresh Fruit stencil inked up with so many fresh colours of Kraftin Kimmie Inks.  I used Ruby Red, Luscious Lemon, Summer Sunshine, Purple Pansy, Lucky Limeade, Pumpkin Patch and Wicked Black to ink up the stencil.  All of these amazing inks are a must have for your crafting and can be found here Krafty Kolours Inks – Kraftin Kimmie Stamps 

I used the stamp set "Birthday Bash" for the sentiment.  Birthday Bash Sentiments! – Kraftin Kimmie Stamps

March Krafty Peeks... Day TWO! Fairies & Furries!

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

 at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps!

We are so excited to share a fabulous new set 

by artist Sabrina van Vloten

 called...

Fairies & Furries!

These fairies and their furry friends will bring a smile to everyone's face! And they are so awesome for your spring creations!

Check out Fairies & Furries in so many amazing creations today as you hop around the Krafty Team's blogs!  You'll also see our beautiful new stencils, Swirling Stars and Wonderful Wildlife along the way! 

I love the larger image of this fairy holding the little mouse.  The larger image definitely makes a statement on this card.  The white panel was stenciled using Luscious Lemon ink and then Glitter paste on top.  The sentiment was stamped in Wicked Black.  The copic coloured image was attached with foam tape to the white panel.  

I hope you like the layers of this card!

Everything will be released after our LIVE Online Release Party TOMORROW!  All the fun takes place in the Krafty Friends facebook group beginning at 3 pm ET!  See you there!

Happy Krafting!

It was so hard for me to choose ONE stamp set to feature on this Blog Hop...  But, I have to admit that the Krafty Komeback set, You've Got Game, is so cute and I was quite happy with the cards that I made using this stamp set and my Cricut!  

The boys can be coloured to match whatever team you are cheering for.  The basket ball card is an easel card,  which is easy to do with the circle card, and I embossed the 'dots' for texture.  

I hope that you like these cards that I made using this set.  

PS. You can see everything up close in the Live Release Replay on Facebook!!

Krafty Girl Heather is up first, and we will be back later in the month with a mid-inspiration post!

I chose the sweet stamp set, "Birthday Lulu" for my card.  She is carrying gifts and I used multiple layers (and multiple colours too)   I also couldn't find the correct colour of cardstock to match my patterned paper but I solved that by inking up my white cardstock with Aqua Adventure-the ink of the month.  

This is a perfect stamp set for all ages. We all need birthday cards and this is perfect for them.
