KKS February Mid Inspiration Saturday Challenge #677 - Love/Hearts and/or Things That Hop!

 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 our Saturday Challenge themes for you are:

Love/Hearts and/or Things That Hop!

You can choose one or both - whatever inspires you!


I stamped the adorable little bunny painting an egg from the New Beginnings stamp set and coloured with Prism Studio coloured pencils. I created the background using the Layers Of Eggs layering stencil by colouring the eggs in and using a black marker to colour in all the negative space! 

I added some Touch Of Gloss and Stickles accents to create a fun effect on the egg! I stamped one of the pretty sentiments included and layered on some pretty patterned paper!

You can check out the closeups of this stencil on Instagram and join in the KKS February New Release Hop HERE!

KKS February Krafty Peeks... Day ONE! New Beginnings!

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

It's time for our February Release Peeks to begin 


Today we have a sweet spring set for you,
designed by Sabrina van Vloten,
 and it's called.....
New Beginnings!


Spring hasn't quite sprung yet, but it's right around the corner! These cute animals will help you celebrate!!


I just love this sweet egg stencil! And I love making Easter cards!! I first stencilled a background with Krafty Kolours Inks in purples and blues. There are so many options when creating with the new Layers Of Eggs layering stencils!


Then I coloured the adorable images with Nuvo Alcohol Markers and created a cute little scene on my card, accenting with Stickles and Dew Drop embellishments. These images could not get any cuter!!


Here's a look at the background I created live in the Krafty Klub private group - very similar to the one I created above!


I sponged on Purple Petunia and Purple Pansy inks using the first layer of the Layers Of Eggs stencil, and then added Sparkling Sapphire ink using the top stencil layer. I then went back to the first stencil layer and went over the whole thing with Royal Flush Solar Paste for a fun shimmery effect!



As you hop around the design team's blogs today you'll be able to check out New Beginnings in action in combination with our other new 
January Kraftin' Kimmie product!  

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

It is called....
Layers of Eggs!

(a 2 piece layering stencil!)



It's 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 17th at 2 pm EST in the Krafty Friends group

KKS February Skrappy Challenge!

 Good morning krafty friends! 

It's February, and that means it's time for a brand new
SKRAPPY CHALLENGE

with Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps!

 The theme of course is ANYTHING BUT A CARD!


I'm sharing a couple of Valentine tags I made for my two youngest girls! I usually give them a little candy and a book, and I thought it would be nice to include a handmade tag as well! 

I used stamps from both the Mini Mews and Together Is Better stamp sets.


I added some stenciled clouds in the background using the Chubby Clouds stencil and Blue Bay Ink (which is the ink of the month on sale!)


I paper pieced the cute balloon stamp and stamped sentiments on both the front and back of the tags! 


For this challenge you can make anything that strikes your fancy....except a card!
So design a new scrapbook page, bookmark, tag, altered item, planner page, art journal, ATC cards...whatever you like!

Just make sure to include some Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps products and make sure it's a new creation!  

*Our Challenges are now combined with the 
Saturday Challenge and the Christmas Challenge In the Krafty Friends FB group! So feel free to enter any or all of these - the monthly prize is a $20 voucher to the Krafty shop!!!
