We hope you'll join us and help us celebrate!

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.

Everything is available in the shop. https://www.kraftinkimmiestamps.com/

I love this challenge format, so much to spark one's creativity!

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

These inks stamp so beautifully.

I'm looking forward to seeing your challenge creations!

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!

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.

It's called LOOK OUT WORLD!

Sooooooo cute....and the sentiments are just the best!

This stamp set is so adorable.  I just love Neda's images.  I couldn't choose a favourite so I just had to colour them all up.  

I used pink and a doily to make a little girl version of this image. 

 

I used yellows and some clear acrylic stars and coloured up a version that would suit a boy or a girl.  AND, I changed the bear to make it look like a panda-of course!
