June Krafty Peeks....Day ONE!

  Who's ready for some brand new Krafty Goodies?

It's time to bring you NEW stamp sets and layering stencils
from Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps!

In case you haven't heard, we are moving the release to every other month but the same number of wonderful products!

So we will be sharing FOUR new stamp sets (including a summer Krafty Komeback) and TWO new sets of layering stencils over the course of this week!

Today we are excited to kick things off with a stunning and elegant stamp set from artist Michelle Houghton called 
FLORAL FUN!!  

 This beautiful floral stamp is so perfect for any of your cards.  I chose the iris image for my card today.  I coloured with watercolour pencils and then lightly blended with my waterbrush.  I love how the colours are vibrant but soft too.  

What flower is your favourite?

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

Be sure to come back to the blog each day this week to see new products from our June Release and then join us on Saturday, June 15th at 2pm ET for our LIVE Release Party when all the new goodies will be available!

June Skrappy Challenge!

 Good morning, my Krafty Friends!

It's JUNE and that means it's time for a new
Skrappy Challenge
at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps! 

The theme of course is ANYTHING BUT A CARD!

For this challenge you can make anything that strikes your fancy....except a card!  So design a new scrapbook page, bookmark, tag, altered item, planner page, art journal, ATC cards...whatever you like! 

Just make sure to include some Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps products and make sure it's a new creation!  

I created a gift tag using the new set, Hello Little One.  **NEW Hello Little One! – Kraftin Kimmie Stamps  I stamped the image in Kraftin Kimmie Wicked Black ink and coloured it up with Copic markers. After fussy cutting I added the image to a small die cut circle (the other side of my patterned paper) and then attached them to a die cut tag.  Topped with a ribbon it is ready to add to a baby gift!  This little dog can easily be coloured to match whatever paper you want to use!  I hope that you like it.

  Good morning and welcome to our 

New Monthly Challenge

This month our challenge themes for you are:

Dad/Boy/Masculine and/or Outdoor Activities

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!

This month I chose one of the adorable images from "Farm-Tastic" Farm-tastic! – Kraftin Kimmie Stamps    I created a little scene with Lucas heading out to fish with his dog.  

The image was stamped in Wicked Black and then coloured with Copic markers.  Sometimes I find that the card does not need any embellishment as the image is perfect with out them. (And it is easier to mail as well)  What do you think? 

We will be back later in the month with more inspiration!

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.

I used the stamp set, Look Out World, to create a simple welcome baby card . This set is full of must have baby images for whatever you need.

I used the New Baby Layering stencil in non-traditional colours for the 4 x 4 size cards I made-this size is also perfect for gift enclosures. I used Designer Denim and Lovely Lagoon inks for the first card, and the second card uses Lavish Lilac and Mostly Melon. I popped up a sentiment in co-ordinating ink and my card is done.

I chose to use Bright Colours for this challenge and used the adorable stamp set Life is the Bubbles Life is the Bubbles! – Kraftin Kimmie Stamps The images were coloured in bright colours and then I made a type of shadow box card and created a scene with all of the little sea creatures (I mean who can choose only one of them)  

The sentiment was stamped using Designer Denim Kraftin Kimmie Ink.  Designer Denim Ink Pad! – Kraftin Kimmie Stamps

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.

Yes, I used all of the prompts to make this card. I used something old which was the paper and the Pawprints stencil which I used to dry emboss my background paper.   Pawprints 2 Stencil! – Kraftin Kimmie Stamps  

I also used the adorable stamp set, Furry Angels! – Kraftin Kimmie Stamps Furry Angels.  I have had this set for a while but this is the first time that I have inked it up and used it.  (gasp) This is a set that you need to have.  Pets have become part of our family.   

I also used the stencil, Krafty Scenery 4, for the background clouds  Krafty Scenery 4! – Kraftin Kimmie Stamps  and I used Blue Bay Ink to add the clouds to my image mat. Blue Bay Ink Pad! – Kraftin Kimmie Stamps  Of course I added some glimmer to the wings. I love doing challenge cards.  They certainly make you go through your stash/supplies to find and use what we have.
