KKS July Hop & Shop!

 Woohoo!!! 

Today we are celebrating all the new fabulous goodies in our July Release that are NOW available in the

 Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps Shop!

and we're excited to share it ALL with you in a fabulous krafty HOP!

I'm sharing a pocket page layout I created with photos from our trip to Emma Lake in Saskatchewan last year. Pocket pages are fun because  you can treat each little pocket as a small 'card' and decorate accordingly, adding photos as desired! 

I stamped the BAREFOOT BEACH  image on watercolour paper and used various sprays and watercolour mediums to colour it in. I added some brown Krafty Dots for coconuts and added the sunshine from the MERMAID KISSES stamp set. I love all the accessories in the sets by Neda! I coloured the mermaid and crab (from UNDERWATER PALS) in with Zebra Clickart Markers and popped them up with foam dots for a bit of dimension.

I stamped sentiments from the BAREFOOT BEACH stamp set on and below my photos. I love the font and the lovely messages in this set!

I used the SASSY SEASHELLS stencil with Rich Rust Ink over a 4x6 pocket card and added on an area for journaling. You'll notice this adorable seahorse from UNDERWATER PALS as well! Stamps are easy to use on scrapbook pages!! Just add them like you would stickers or ephemera!

Now let's check everything out as we hop around the Krafty Design Team's blogs today!  Grab a drink, sit back and relax while we take you on a krafty tour!

KKS July Krafty Peeks... Day FOUR! Relaxalotl!

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

 at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps!

We are so excited to share a fabulous new set 

by artist Michelle Houghton

 called...

RELAXALOTL!

These adorable axolotl friends fit right in with our underwater theme this month!! And of course we have lots of punny sentiments to go with them!

Check out RELAXALOTL! in so many amazing creations today as you hop around the Krafty Team's blogs!  You'll also see the beautiful new stencils, SASSY SEASHELLS and the UNDERWATER SCENERY Layering Stencil along the way! 

I'm sharing a closeup look at the beautiful stencils we are releasing this month!! I love sitting down to play with stencils and just seeing what kind of backgrounds I come up with! Of course, Kimmie's stencils are always fabulous, and I end up having lots of pretty backgrounds that inspire my projects!

I first started out using the Sassy Seashell Stencil. I had the Simon Hurley Solar Pastes on my desk and decided to mix them with some Krafty Kolour Ink Refills.

The Solar Pastes give a fun shimmer to whatever colour you add them to. First, I used Amazing Amethyst mixed with both colours of the Solar Pastes, adding each mixture to the stencil separately and then blending lightly over the top. 

You get a really cool effect, especially when you turn the finished piece in the light. The Golden Hour paste gives a golden tint and the Beluga has a blue tint!

I did the same thing with Amazing Azure, (our ink of the month - on sale) mixing a scoop of each paste with a drop of the reinker and applying to the stencil.

I used this background for my Day ONE Krafty Peek with the sweet Mermaid Kisses stamp set! You can see the finished card HERE!

Next, I pulled out the Underwater Scenery Layering Stencil! I love all the different combinations that are possible with this set! I decided to combine all the layers, but I love how many different ways the Design Team used this and I plan on using that fun bubbles layer for lots of things by itself!

I used Goblin Green, Lovely Lagoon and Salty Sea for the seaweed and bubbles. There are lots of different combos I can't wait to use though!!

I added the texture and gloss to the bubbles by going over them with Ranger Translucent Texture Paste, which is clear and dries shiny.

After that dried, I used Simon Hurley Lunar Paste to add a shiny layer of fish through the other part of the stencil! I added a sandy bottom with a diecut layer of kraft cardstock. 

You can see the finished card I created for Day TWO using the Underwater Pals stamp set HERE!

Everything will be released after our LIVE Online Release Party TODAY!  All the fun takes place in the Krafty Friends facebook group beginning at 12 noon ET!  See you there!

KKS July Krafty Peeks... Day THREE! Barefoot Beach!

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

 at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps!

Today we are 'peeking' a beautiful scenery set 

from artist Michelle Houghton

 and it's called.....

BAREFOOT BEACH!

We now have a new seaside landscape to add to our collection!! If you're a fan, you'll also want to check out the beautiful Majestic Mountains scenery and Desert Landscape sets!!

This is my favourite project of this release! I ended up creating a postcard and I love how it turned out!! I watercoloured in the beach scene with Clickart Markers, creating a sunset in the sky.

I used a snow marker that you heat to create a puffy effect for the waves and then stamped the sentiment with Stormy Sky Ink. I feel relaxed just looking at this scene!

Then, I turned the card over to create the postcard back. I used the Snail Mail set to stamp Krafty Mail! along the top and created a stamp with the sunshine from the cute Mermaid Kisses Set from Day ONE. I even added the 'To' using one of the Krafty Advent Kalendar Stamps. I love mixing and matching my stamp sets! 

Check out BAREFOOT BEACH! in so many creations today as you hop around the Krafty Team's blogs! You'll also see the new stencils along the way!

You'll see more of our July goodies tomorrow, and then everything will be released after our LIVE Online Release Party on Saturday at 12 noon ET in the Krafty Friends facebook group!

KKS July Krafty Peeks... Day TWO! Underwater Pals!

Welcome back to Day TWO of our July 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 Neda Sadreddin

 and it's called.....

UNDERWATER PALS!

This fun and fabulous set perfectly coordinates with the beautiful Mermaid Kisses set we shared yesterday!! Just think about the awesome underwater scenes you'll be creating!

I love the cute little faces on these fishies!! I watercoloured with Zebra Clickart Markers and added a few white gel pen highlights.

There are so many ways you can create with the new Underwater Scenery Stencil! I first layered on the seaweed, then added bubbles with my Krafty Kolour Inks. Then, I went over the bubbles with Ranger Translucent Texture Paste for a glossy effect. And lastly, I used Simon Hurley Lunar Paste to add the stenciled fish! 

 

I added the bubble accessory stamps and coated them with Nuvo Crystal Glaze for a glossy look and finished off the card with a heat embossed sentiment and The Robin's Nest Dew Drops!

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

Today we have a beautiful underwater set to start off the week

designed by Neda Sadreddin,

MERMAID KISSES! 

You'll find three enchanting mermaids ready to share their magic and of course, in true Neda style, so many fantastic accessories!! 

This is such a fun set to create with, and so perfect for summer!! I started by watercolouring these adorable mermaids and their sweet accessories with Zebra Clickart Markers.

I mixed the Amazing Azure Ink refill, our Ink of the Month - on sale!, with Simon Hurley Solar Paste for a beautiful shimmery paste to use with the New Sassy Seashells Stencil. You can see how the light reflects off the paste!

I white heat embossed a sentiment and added a sandy bottom to my card, finishing it off with The Robin's Nest Dew Drops and Nuvo Crystal Glaze!

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