Inspirational Wednesday - Autumn Pumpkins!

 

 Good morning Krafty Friends!!  

Welcome to another Inspirational Wednesday,

the day of the week that we provide you with a little extra

inspiration for your krafty projects!! 

This week the featured stamp set is...Autumn Pumpkins!

For this card, I stamped the image with Kraftin Kimmie Wicked Black ink and coloured it up with my Copic markers.  After fussy cutting, I matted the image with ovals, stamped the sentiment and then splattered a little gold glitter ink over top.  The kraft cardstock was dry embossed and the card was assembled after adding a couple of orange glitter gems.  

Make sure you grab this featured stamp set for 40% off in the shop!! You need this set for your fall and Thanksgiving creations.  

Happy Canadian Thanksgiving everyone!

Happy Fall everyone!!  I chose Fall Activities for this challenge, and the "Leaves are Falling" stamp set.Leaves are Falling! – Kraftin Kimmie Stamps

  

I thought that I would shake things up a bit with this card.  I stamped the image using Kraftin Kimmie Wicked Black Ink Wicked Black Ink Pad! – Kraftin Kimmie Stamps and coloured it up using Copic markers that I matched to my patterned paper choice.  I made a shaker card using tiny leaves that were cut from some patterned leaf paper in my stash.  I also added a few sequins in fall colours.  I used some Sandy Shores Ink Sandy Shores Ink Pad! – Kraftin Kimmie Stamps for the sentiment and ink blending around the brown cardstock of the card base to give some depth to the plain cardstock.  

A few small leaf die cuts and this card is finished!  I hope that you like it.

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.

August 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 Neda Sadreddin called 
Air Mail!

Eeeee!  Such cute and fluffy little characters in the sky!!

Head out on today's krafty hop and you'll see so many fun creations from the Krafty Team that are just.....plane amazing!

I used the rocketship image from "Air Mail" to make this card today.  I coloured this image with my copics after stamping with Kraftin Kimmie Wicked Black Ink.  I also dry embossed with the stencil for the inside of the card.  The 'moon' die was used to create a hole in the front of the card that I made into a clear peek a boo using clear acetate in between the card base and the front patterned paper of the card.  I cut another moon shape from matte silver cardstock for the moon and added a few stars.  You can now see the moon behind the images that are on top of the acetate.  

Be sure to come back to the blog again tomorrow to see new products from our August Release and then join us on Saturday, August 17th at 2pm ET in the Krafty Friends Facebook Group for our

Krafty Girl, PATTI is our Hostess with the Mostess this week!

I chose to use, "My Happy Place"

 for this challenge.  I like a good cup of coffee every once and a while. I made a larger 5 x 7 card to showcase the larger image and stamped it up with Kraftin Kimmie Wicked black ink and coloured it with Copic markers.  The little coffee beans were cut from the paper and I added some liquid glass to them, for a very simple embellishment.  The sentiment is stamped using Kraftin Kimmie Marvelous Mocha ink.  My Happy Place! – Kraftin Kimmie Stamps  The accents match the ink of the month, Tempting Tangerine.

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!

I love this stamp set.  The images remind me so much of fun times in the summer.  Great for cards or scrapbook pages too.  I used the little boy to make a card with this set.  I used some of the accessory stamps, which are awesome, to create a scene at the beach.  I added a little bit of embossing powder to the bucket to make some sand as well

June Krafty Peeks....Day THREE!

  Good morning and welcome to Day THREE

of our June Krafty Peeks!

It's called SUM-SUM-SUMMERTIME!

Today we are sharing a KRAFTY KOMEBACK stamp set!

For those who are new around these parts, Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps will be celebrating 15 years this fall so we have a lot of retired images most people have never seen before!  (And there are lots of requests for past stamp sets!) So once in a while we bring a set back and this one will be back this weekend!

This is a new stamp set for me and I love it.  All of the images are so summery.  I chose to make a centre opening card and combined several images to make this card.  I stamped my images in Sandy Shores ink and coloured with Copic markers.  I fussy cut the images, used the sand castle in the centre and the flip flops along with some other die cut images were used for the closure.  So fun!!

AND check out this scrumptious new coordinating stencil!

It's called I SCREAM, YOU SCREAM!!!

It's a set of TWO layering stencils to create this colourful summertime background!  Yummy!

Happy hoppin' and see YOU tomorrow for more awesome goodies!

    I used this cute stamp to make a mini slimline card. The image was stamped in our incredible Kraftin Kimmie Wicked Black and coloured with Copic markers.    I used Kraftin Kimmie Granite Grey and Kraftin Kimmie Summer Sunshine and Kraftin Kimmie Ocean Opulence Inks with our amazing stencil.   I added some Stickles on top of the wings to give it that glitter that I love.  These bee images are a great size too.
