Tonic Studios New Release! Good Times Ahead! with Video!!

Hello friends! Karla here today to share an exciting release from Tonic Studios! Their new Monthly Stamp & Die Set, called Good Times Ahead, includes a 6x8 stamp set full of 26 clear stamps and coordinating dies! You can find it in the US Shop HERE and The UK Shop HERE. I had so much fun playing with this set and created a video with ideas, tips and tricks for using it HERE or watch below! The first set I created with Nuvo Watercolor Pencils, stamped on Craft Perfect Watercolor Paper. These pencils are so smooth and wonderful to blend and colour with!


I layered the stamped and diecut images on Tonic dies from my collection and used some fun tone on tone patterned papers. 


The sentiments are so uplifting and inspiring! I stamped with Nuvo Inks, which come in a large variety of colours, and added lots of pretty Nuvo Drops.


The dies create such a delicate cut around these beautiful images.


You can use the sweet smiley face to add a grin to several of the images!


For the next set I used Shimmer Powders for a fun, shimmery background effect! Be sure to watch the video to see how to apply them! 




And, for the last project, I used some of the smaller projects in my planner!


I coloured these in with the smooth Nuvo Colored Pencils!


Check out the video HERE or watch below to see how I used this beautiful new release Good Times Ahead and how to's for watercolouring, Shimmer Powders and more!
You can find Good Times Ahead and the products I used in the US Shop HERE and The UK Shop HERE.


Thanks so much for stopping by! Have a wonderful, crafty week ahead!!

Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps February Saturday Challenge #665 - Mid Inspiration Post - Red, Birthday or Create A Scene! Plus a Sale!

 Good morning and welcome to our  

Monthly Saturday Challenge Mid Inspiration Post



We are back today with an inspirational post showcasing more ideas to inspire you and help get your creative juices flowing!
We can't wait to see what you create!


This month the challenge themes for you are: 

RED,

BIRTHDAY

and/or

CREATE A SCENE!


You can choose any or all - whatever inspires you!

I've created a scene card with the sweet Stone Age Friends Stamp Set and the Krafty Scenery 4 Stencil! I made this background for a Live Kolour Along Video in January and it's been sitting on my desk waiting for the right stamp set!! 


I used various Krafty Kolours Inks and the cloud part of the stencil to create layers of fluffy clouds! I added a Snow Marker on the top of the mountains, which puffs up when heated and, because the ground is brown, I felt like this really had a stone-age feel. Plus, my youngest daughter and I watched The Croods last weekend and I think prehistoric times were on my mind 😉I coloured the images with Copics and stamped the fun, punny sentiment directly on the background!


You can watch the replay on how I created the background and more ideas using the Krafty Scenery 4 stencil HERE, or click below!

Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps February Krafty Peeks... Day TWO! Namaste!

 Welcome back to Day TWO of our February Krafty Peeks!

Are you excited about what you've seen so far!?  Are you ready for more?

I hope your answer was yes because we've got more fabulous fun for you today!

The stamp set we are 'peeking' for you today is from 

artist Michelle Houghton
 and it's called.....

NAMASTE!


This fabulous set features adorable animal friends reminding us to take time for ourselves, relax and breathe!  


I love the calming energy in this set! I can definitely use the reminder to take it slow and relax sometimes..! 


I coloured this adorable llama with Copics, and as you can see it was super quick and easy with a little grey shading! Of course, you can colour your animals whatever your favourite colour combo is!  


I used the new Geo 2 Stencil to add another layer of colour, using Bashful Blush Krafty Kolour Ink, over a patterned paper background. To make that design pop, I added white gel pen details! I stamped the breathe sentiment and addd some clear gems to finish off the front of the card.


Inside, I added a tag diecut from the Paige Evans paper pad I was using and put it onto the pop up insert from the Photo Play Maker's Series Pop-Up Card. Isn't this sentiment just perfect for this stamp set?!! 

 Check out NAMASTE and our new stencils in so many awesome creations today as you hop around the Krafty Team's blogs!

Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps February Krafty Peeks... Day ONE! Flirty Foxes!

 Who's ready for lots of brand new Krafty goodies?!

It's time for our February Release Peeks to begin 


Today we’re featuring an adorable set of cute and crafty foxes
designed by Neda Sadreddin
 and it's called.....
FLIRTY FOXES!


There are so many great sentiments to use with these awesome foxes, as well as accessory stamps! Perfect to mix and match with your other sets! 


I started off by stenciling the gorgeous Funky Floral Layering Stencil with Krafty Kolours Inks. Seriously, how amazing is this stencil?!! You could add a sentiment to a stenciled card front and have a quick, easy and beautiful card! 


I decided to cut it up, however, to use in place of patterned paper for this fun pop up card which folds flat to mail and then pops open for a 3D effect! 


I coloured these adorable foxes with Zebra Zensations Coloured Pencils and arranged the sweet accessory stamps to create a cute scene!


I stamped the You're Foxy sentiment on the front of the card and added some Nuvo Crystal Glaze to the cute eyeballs and Glitter Drops to the flowers! 


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

We've also got TWO new Krafty Stencils for this month's release to help add some funky fun to your creations!  

They are called....
GEO 2 STENCIL


and FUNKY FLORAL
(a 2 piece layering stencil!)


Both designs are perfect for all your cards, scrapbook pages, mixed media and more!


You'll get to see all of our brand new goodies in action over the next few days of the February Krafty Peeks and everything will be released at our LIVE Release Party 

on  Saturday, February 11th at 2 pm EST in the Krafty Friends group!
