KKS August Hop and Shop!

 Woohoo!!! 

Today we are celebrating all the new fabulous goodies in our August 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 had so much fun with this month's release and decided to combine some of these fun sets! I coloured up some of the book images from LOST IN A BOOK, the mermaid from STORYTELLERS and the beach scene from last month's Barefoot Beach with Copic Markers.

I tucked the reading mermaid into the surf and created a little scene by adding the books onto the sand.

I stamped a sentiment from the LOST IN A BOOK set and added in some Dew Drops from The Robin's Nest to finish it off.

So 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 August Krafty Peeks... Day THREE! Fall Favourites!

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

 at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps!

We are so excited to share a fabulous new set 

by artist Sabrina van Vloten

 called...

FALL FAVOURITES!

Sabrina's sweet critter friends are back with their favourite Fall treats!! If you're a fan of Fall, this is going to be a must have, and if you love these cute animals, be sure to check out more of Sabrina's sets!

I started off by stenciling the AMAZING Perfect Pies Stencil with Krafty Kolours Inks. Can I tell you how much I love this stencil?!! 

I then looked up a tutorial for an Impossible Card Fold - don't worry, it's not impossible... YouTube has lots of tutorials! I pulled out some fall papers and cut them to fit the fold along with a panel of the stenciled pie images. I love stenciling a full background and then using it as I would patterned paper!

I coloured the sweet bear from the Fall Favourites set with Copics and used some Nuvo Crystal Glaze for the yummy pie filling!

The flap opens on this card fold and will actually stand up which is so cool to display! I found a Tim Holtz Ideaology fork and knife and placed them on the card so it looked a little like a place setting.

Inside, you can see more of the delicious Perfect Pie stencil! I stamped a thankful sentiment and added some of the tiny accessory stamps.

This will be a lovely Thanksgiving card and was so fun to make!! 

Check out FALL FAVOURITES! in so many amazing creations today as you hop around the Krafty Team's blogs!  You'll also see the beautiful new stencils, LEAFY MANDALA and PERFECT PIES along the way! 

PLUS!!

  Welcome back to Day TWO of our August 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 Sabrina van Vloten

 and it's called.....

STORYTELLERS!

This set has amazing and magical friends, sharing their love of reading - with so many fabulous sentiments!! 

I started off by watercolouring the adorable dragon with Tim Holtz Watercolor Pencils.

This was a card I created for our Spring 2023 Retreat. If you were in that event you'll still have access to the printable PDF with complete instructions on how to create this card! 

I used an older Kraftin' Kimmie Study Buddy Stencil with various Krafty Kolour Inks over a text paper background. You might already have this stencil in your collection, but if not there are sooo many amazing stencils in the shop and two more will be released on Saturday! You can see those - Leafy Mandala and Perfect Pies, in yesterday's post! 

I added some tickets and enamel dots and stamped one of the awesome sentiments on the background paper!

KKS August Krafty Peeks ... Day ONE! Lost In A Book!

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

It's time for our August Release Peeks to begin 

at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps!

Today we have an amazing book and tea lover set

designed by Michelle Houghton,

 and it's called.....

LOST IN A BOOK! 

You'll find lots of book images as well as a sweet teapot and cup and several awesome quotes in this set! 

I started out by stenciling one of our beautiful new stencils, Leafy Mandala, with Blue Bay, Designer Denim and Stormy Sky Inks. I love sitting down with my stencils and just creating - and then I have premade backgrounds to use on my cards! 

I then coloured all these amazing images with Copic Markers and even did some paper piecing with some pretty fall paper! I love how you could customize the plant pots, teapot and cups however you like! 

I stamped the Tea For Two sentiment on a banner strip and added it to the top of my card.

I used banner dies to cut 'bookshelves' for my little scene and handcut shapes to create a table for my tea party! I even created a little tablecloth with some leftover background paper, cut into a triangle, and stenciled with yellow ink.

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

August 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....
LEAFY MANDALA

and 

PERFECT PIES

(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 August Krafty Peeks and everything will be released at our LIVE Release Party 

on  Saturday, August 19th at 2 pm noon EST in the Krafty Friends group! 

For now, hop around and check out some amazing creations from the Krafty Team! Our fabulous designers can't wait to share their inspiration with you!

Come on back tomorrow for some more krafty fun and goodness!
