Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps May Krafty Peeks... Day THREE! It's About Time!

 Today is our final day of Krafty Peeks for the May Release 

 at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps!

We are so excited to share a 'timeless' new set 

by artist Michelle Houghton

 called...

IT'S ABOUT TIME!

These beautiful clocks and timepieces with fabulous coordinating sentiments will definitely be a go-to stamp set!

I started off by stenciling the beautiful 2 layer Butterfly Bounty Stencil with different colours of Krafty Kolours Inks: Purple Pansy, Alluring Amethyst (on sale!), Flirty Flamingo, Pink Pizzazz, Ocean Opulence, Sparkling Sapphire, Luscious Lemon, Yummy Yellow, Charming Chartreuse and Enchanted Emerald. Then I went over the top area of the stencil with Moonstone Nuvo Glimmer Paste for a sparkly effect!

I cut a panel from the stenciled are and added it to my card base and then stamped one of the fabulous clocks directly onto a piece of text patterned paper.

I paper pieced areas of the clock stamp with more patterned paper and layered it onto my card.

I tucked in some flower ephemera and added some enamel dots, butterfly sequins and a wonderful sentiment from the set! 

Check out IT'S ABOUT TIME! in so many amazing creations today as you hop around the Krafty Team's blogs!  You'll also see the beautiful new stencils, BUTTERFLY BOUNTY, a 2 piece layering Stencil and STYLISH STARS along the way!

There are so many ways to use these beautiful butterflies and the accessory bee and flower stamps! The uplifting sentiments are perfect for any occasion! 

I'm sharing my tag mini album that I taught in the Spring Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps Retreat! The KKS Retreats are such a great way to get together with krafty friends and enjoy a weekend full of creativity and inspiration! If you were in the retreat group, I taught this live, step by step, and provided a PDF with complete instructions as well. There were 15+ classes delivered over the weekend as well as the Flutter High Stamp Set and the Butterfly Bounty Layered Stencil, (plus another super secret set) and a fabulous kit full of goodies! 

Here's a peek at the pages inside the mini album! The images in the Flutter High Stamp Set are stamped over ink blended backgrounds and embossed with gold embossing powder. You can see the Butterfly Bounty Stencil peeking out on several pages. 

There are so many beautiful ways to colour up these pretty spring images! And the sentiments are so wonderful!!

designed by Neda Sadreddin,

MONKEY BUSINESS

These cuties are ready for fun, and might just go bananas if you let them! 

I grabbed a background that already had yellow shimmery mist on it and added green Krafty Kolours Inks through the fabulous Stylish Stars Stencil! Then, I used some Ranger Translucent Texture Paste over top for a shiny effect. 

I watercoloured the super cute images with Zebra Clickart Markers and fussy cut them with my Olfa scissors.

I added a border of patterned paper and some stickers from the Simple Stories Into The Wild Collection, and then popped up my sentiment stamped on a stitched banner.

As you hop around the design team's blogs today you'll be able to check out MONKEY BUSINESS in action in combination with our other new

Kraftin' Kimmie May Stamp Of The Month - Ticky Tock!

    We are so excited to share our newest Stamp Of The Month -

Ticky Tock!

This awesome clock can be set to any time you'd like! And the beautiful sentiment is perfect for a message to someone special! 

I watercoloured this sweet little image up with Nuvo Watercolor Pencils and created a very feminine, pretty card!

I added lots of diecuts and put the clock on an action wobbler for a fun element and an 'alarm' type function! 

You can see some gears peeking out from the embossing folder I used over some pretty Ink Drops paper. A bit of Magical Midnight ink accents the dimension. Finally, I finished the card off with a few  shimmery gems!

Be sure to head over to the Kraftin' Kimmie Blog to see everyone's take on the May Stamp Of The Month! 

This will be FREE with a $75 or more purchase at the

 Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps Shop (before taxes and shipping)
