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!

Drinks/Fruits/Veggies and/or Farm

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!

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. 

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!

*Our Challenges are now combined with the 

Skrappy Challenge (first Tuesday of the Month)

and the Christmas Challenge In the Krafty Friends FB group! So feel free to enter any or all of these - the monthly prize is a $20 voucher to the Krafty shop!!! Woohoo! 

We also have a NEW Ink of the Month which will be on SPECIAL all month long!  August features the gorgeous TEMPTING TANGERINE ink pad, ink cube and ink refill! Grab it now to add to your collection!

Happy kraftin'!

I started out my crafting journey as a scrapbooker. Saturday was National Scrapbook Day.  Recently, I have began to scrapbook again and I am enjoying using Kraftin Kimmie stamps and stencils for my layouts.  In this layout I used Krafty Tools Layering Stencils! – Kraftin Kimmie Stamps  for the scissors that I stenciled .  I used lunar paste and granite grey ink.  The other stencil, Splish Splash Stencil! – Kraftin Kimmie Stamps I used for colour splashes with lunar paste.  The splish splash stencil is not just for water splashes.  

Have you tried using stencils on your layouts?  They are so versatile and can be used with just about every medium.  Stencils are a great way to add pizzaz to a simple layout like mine. 

Check out some awesome creations from the Krafty Team below and be inspired to get skrappy!

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!

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!

I coloured the little critters up with Copics and added them to the skating rink image that I made using Kraftin Kimmie ink in Ocean Opulence. I used the stencil to ink blend and then stamped over the image and finished off with a final coat of transparent gloss paste.  It made for the perfect skating rink.  I also added an image to the inside of the card too.  We all know that after a skating adventure, hot chocolate is the perfect finish!
