Challenge #574 - Pink & Green!

Good morning and welcome to another fabulous and fun Saturday Challenge at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps ! Are you ready for another fun and 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 week, our challenge theme for you is: 

PINK & GREEN!

I've created a bright spring card for this challenge using the adorable Hoppy Friends Stamp Set! I just love the sweet bunnies included in this set as well as all the friends - perfect for all your spring cards! 


I created a fun kite fold and placed it on a slimline panel. I chose the Welcome Spring sentiment and stamped with Kraftin' Kimmie Krafty Kolours Ink. I coloured in the images with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers on Bristol Smooth cardstock.


I used the 'must have' Krafty Scenery Stencils 1 & 2 to add cloud and grass details to the background before adhering the kite. 


I used a magnet inside the kite for a fun closure and added the Easter sentiment inside. The Shimmerz that were included in the awesome March Add-on Bundle were perfect to finish off this card with a bit of shine! You can find the instructions for the kite fold on YouTube.


Each and every Saturday we post a brand new challenge for the week and you are welcome to enter as many times as you like.

Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps March Release Hop & Shop!

Woohoo!!! Today we are celebrating all the new fabulous goodies in our March Release that are NOW available in the Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps Shop! I am using the beautiful New WILDFLOWER WONDER Stamps to create two simple, but elegant cards!


I used some backgrounds I had created on my gelli plate and white heat embossed these gorgeous florals over top. This is an easy way to use these stamps if you don't feel like colouring them in.


I used the New RICH RUST Ink to stamp sentiments from the set onto a banner layered on some twine that is included in the awesome March ADD ON BUNDLE!


I created my second card the same way, using the second flower in the set. The Dream Drops, from the ADD ON BUNDLE were a lovely embellishment. They are iridescent, and I love that they look a little different depending on the colour background you add them to.


I layered the RADICAL RECTANGLES Stencil negative mask on top of my flower and layered the ROYAL Stencil on top of that. I spritzed with water to create some droplets and if you look carefully you can see the slight outlines of the various shapes from the Royal Stencil! 


All four of our new stamp sets, plus two new stencils and a new hybrid ink colour RICH RUST were released yesterday along with our MARCH ADD ON BUNDLE, 
and we're excited to share it ALL with you in a fabulous krafty HOP!

Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps March Krafty Peeks Day FOUR! Wildflower Wonder plus a challenge!

Today is our final day of Krafty Peeks for the March Release at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps!

We are so excited to share a beautiful floral set by our newest artist (and Design Team Member) Michelle Houghton called...

WILDFLOWER WONDER!!

I decided to create two mixed media tags with these beautiful flowers as the focal point! I coloured them with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers after stamping with the New RICH RUST ink. 


This gorgeous set is perfect for your Spring projects,

and the sentiments are so wonderful and full of hope!

Here's a peek at a quick little video to check out these tags close up!

I started off by using some pretty papers to cover parts of my tag, tearing some of the edges for a soft look. I used texture paste through the New ROYAL STENCIL and once that dried I sponged over it with Krafty Kolours Inks. 


I found a diecut in my stash that I had cut with my Cricut Maker and glued that down to the background. 


I used some small accessory stamps from the New HAMMIN' IT UP Stamp Set to add a few details and added Dream Drops, Sparkletz sequins and Twine from the awesome MARCH ADD-ON BUNDLE for bling!


I finished the tags off with a beautiful sentiment from the WILDFLOWER WONDER Stamp Set and used the New RADICAL RECTANGLES Stencil to create an outline!

As you hop around the design team's blogs today you'll be able to check out WILDFLOWER WONDER in action in combination with a lot of our other new March Kraftin' Kimmie products!  

Of course today is also challenge day and as always during release week, it's Anything Goes!  So create a card, scrapbook page, altered item, planner page....with some Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps products for your chance to WIN the monthly prize!

Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps Krafty Peeks Day THREE! Hammin' It Up!

   Today is our third day of Krafty Peeks for the March Release

 at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps!

Today we are 'peeking' a fabulous set 
from artist Neda Sadreddin
 and it's called.....

HAMMIN' IT UP!!

I thought these guys would make a fabulous birthday card!! I coloured them up with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers in some fun hamster colours after stamping with the New RICH RUST Ink! 


These cuties are having so much fun!! 

And you're going to have a blast creating with them!

If I'm ever not sure how to colour images, I'll often search for 'cartoon....' and that will give me some ideas. I added in some white bellies, spots and stripes to give them each their own look! 


I decided to create an interactive card using the Swish'n Pop Pull tab allowing the hamster with balloons to float across the card. 


I love the accessory stamps included in this set - small stamps are always great to use in a planner or journal or to create custom backgrounds! I stamped with various colours of Krafty Kolours Inks and added Stardust and White Gel pen details. 


I used the ADD-ON KIT to add chipboard stars, Dream Drop embellishments and sequins to the background. The Dream Drops are iridescent and added a shimmery effect to the top of the chipboard!


Here's a quick little VIDEO showing you my card up close! You'll be able to see how this adorable hamster floats across the card! 

Check out HAMMIN' IT UP in so many precious creations today as you hop around the Krafty Team's blogs!  You'll also see the new stencils, Add-Ons and hybrid ink along the way!  Be sure to leave some love at each stop on the hop because there will be a giveaway for some krafty $$ to the shop! 


You'll see more of our March goodies tomorrow and then everything will be released after our LIVE Online Release Party on Saturday afternoon at 2pm ET in the Krafty Friends facebook group!  




For now, check out all the adorable goodness in today's hop!
See you tomorrow!
