February Saturday Challenge #677 - Love/Hearts and/or Things That Hop!

  Good morning and welcome to our new 

Monthly Saturday Challenge

at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps!

Are you ready for another krafty challenge to inspire you and help get your creative juices flowing?

We've got some fabulous ideas for you 

and can't wait to see what you create!

This month our Saturday Challenge themes for you are: 

Love/Hearts and/or Things That Hop!

You can choose one or both themes - whatever inspires you!

We also have a new Ink Of The Month, which will be on sale all month long!! This month features the gorgeous Blue Bay Ink Pad, Ink Cube and Reinker! Grab it now to add to your collection..

For this challenge I chose Love/Hearts and made a tag/bookmark using the Beary Love stamp set and dry embossing with the Happy Hearts stencil.  I love the little bears on this set and enjoy making Valentines and Love You themed cards with them.  This tag could be incorporated onto a card or used as a blueprint to make a card, full size or slimline, you choose

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!

February Krafty Peeks... Day ONE! Flirty Foxes!

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

It's time for our February Release Peeks to begin 

at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps!

Today we’re featuring an adorable set of cute and crafty foxes

designed by Neda Sadreddin

 and it's called.....

FLIRTY FOXES!

There are so many great sentiments to use with these awesome foxes as well as accessory stamps perfect to mix and match with your other sets! 

As you hop around the design team's blogs today you'll be able to check out FLIRTY FOXES! in action in combination with a lot of our other new 

February 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....
GEO 2 STENCIL

and FUNKY FLORAL

(a 2 piece layering stencil!)

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

I coloured up this cute little fox from the new release and paired it with the sweet layering stencil, Funky Floral.  Using clear gloss paste over the top of the flower layer gave the flowers some shine. These colours are perfect for spring which is hopefully just around the corner! 

  

And don't forget to decorate the inside of your card too.  It makes it so unique.  

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

I chose Blue and Monochromatic, although I couldn't quite bring myself to make the cow blue too, lol.

I inked blue cardstock with the Crazy Cow Stencil and Blue Bay, Amazing Azure and Designer Denim Ink. The card front and sentiment are matted on navy blue cardstock to keep the monochromatic theme going!

I chose the challenge of Monochromatic and used Blue too.  

For those of you who know me, and now for those who don't I just love pandas and this stamp set Panda-monium spoke to me!!  For this challenge, I used the Panda-monium stamp and sentiment, Bouncy Balloons stencil and the Ink of the Month, Designer Denim.  

I chose monochromatic for my second card as well, well except for the little bow.  I also used the stamp set , Panda-monium for this card as well.  This card will be a special Valentine for a little someone in my life.
