Kraftin’ Kimmie Stamps June New Release Sneak Peeks- Day 1- What's The Scoop?!

The weather is getting warmer and sunnier! So how about a New SUMMERTIME Release?! The JUNE Release at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps begins NOW! Welcome to Day ONE of our June Krafty Peeks! We are ready to celebrate and inspire you with THREE new stamp sets, TWO new stencils, a brand new INK colour and some new Krafty DOTS! Who's ready to PAR-TEE!!!?!

We're kicking off the krafty fun with an ADORABLE set from artist NEDA SADREDDIN and it's called..... WHAT'S THE SCOOP?! These sassy gals are ready for the sunshine by the ocean or by the pool!  And check out their 'crabby' pal!  It's a 4x6 stamp set featuring several main images, some accessory stamps and some awesome sunshiny sentiments!

As you hop around the Krafty Team's blogs today you will see the WHAT'S THE SCOOP? stamp set in action in combination with our all of our other awesome new JUNE Kraftin' Kimmie products! I decided to use the adorable girl and crab floating on inner tubes for my card today! And I figured they would look super cute in this beach scene with matching donut floaties!!

I ink blended the background using Krafty Kolours Inks in Summer Sunshine, Pretty In Pink and Sparkling Sapphire, adding extra inky layers at the bottom using the waves on the NEW KRAFTY SCENERY 3! This scenery stencil is definitely going to be a go-to!! I used the sun part of the stencil to add Gina K Iridescent Glitz Glitter Gel for a sparkly sunshine! Some Glossy Accents add a bit of shine to the glasses and ice cream scoops too.

I used patterned paper to paper piece the floaties, sunglasses and the cute bikini, and then I popped up the images with foam dots. Then I added an embossed sentiment from the set - how cute is that?!! and some coordinating NEW SEASHORE DOTS.

And, of course you can check out the New Release Video here-

You will spot our newest addition to the Krafty Kolours Hybrid Ink rainbow!  It's a beautiful warm brown named SANDY SHORES! As always it will be available in full sized ink pads, mini cubes and ink refills! 

We've got TWO brand new Krafty Stencils for this month's release to help accessorize your creations! They are called KRAFTY SCENERY 3 and NAUTICAL NETTING!

And of course, we are adding the perfect new coordinating Krafty Dots for this release! The package includes enamel dots in varying sizes in 6 different colours! These ones are called SEASHORE DOTS!

You'll get to see all of our brand new goodies in action over the next few days of June Krafty Peeks and everything will be released at our LIVE Online Release Party in the Krafty Friends facebook group on Saturday, June 13th at 2 pm EST!

FCCB #333 - Beach!

 Happy Monday and welcome to another Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog Monday challenge!

Challenge #333-Beach
Make a project using anything Beach related. But there has to be a least one cut from the Cricut Library!

This Weeks Sponsor is-

https://www.printablecuttablecreatables.com/

And the prize is-

$25 Virtual Wallet!!!!

To qualify for the prize, be sure to use at least 1 Cricut cut on your project and if it's not obvious, let us know what cartridge you used. If you use a Cricut Explore machine, at least one cut must be from the Cricut catalog of images. If it isn't a card, you will get two entries into the drawing!

For this challenge I created a double page scrapbook layout using lots of Cricut cuts as well as SVG files from our fabulous sponsor, Printable Cuttable Creatables (see below for a list of files and cartridges used).  I always like to check to see what's free each week in Cricut Design Space, and I really loved the Photo Play Paper Happy Glamper files, which were print and cut. I figured while I had my Explore hooked up to my printer I would flatten all the cuts I was using and print & cut them all at once. I love using diecut ephemera packs, so this was awesome - I could cut as many as I wanted and size them just so!

We take a yearly camping trip to a campground in Alberta with a bunch of other families, and it was so cool to look back on 2012 to see how little the girls were on this trip. I realized after I took photos that I forgot to add the date and some journaling, but I will go back and do that! I have these in an album with the rest of the trip that year, so there is already a lot of journaling, and well... it was a busy weekend so I decided not to retake photos!

The PCC Sandbucket file was coloured so nicely that it matched my colour scheme perfectly! I love the shadows that come with the cutfiles and make it look so nice if you decide to print & cut.

I pulled out an older My Mind's Eye collection, Jubilee, that I had in my stash and used the pretty papers together with some background papers from another stash. I used a bit of watercolour pencils to add colour to the black and white cardstock below. The printed sentiment banner was from the Cricut Photo Play cut and I added a cute pink flamingo from an Echo Park sticker pack.

I wanted to bring some of the same colours in the photo and papers to the top left corner so I used some Distress Oxides and Inks and a pretty Vicki Boutin butterfly stencil along with lovely matching SpiegelMom Scraps Sequins. (Be sure to use the code KARLA15 to save 15% off at the SMS Shop!)

I layered some of the diecuts and created a title, using some twine to add to the banner effect.

For the second layout I brought in some of the same papers and used the butterfly stencil again. I just love looking back and seeing how adorably cute Erica's little chubby legs were! And Amie is the same age in the photo as Erica is now! That's one of the most important reasons I love scrapbooking - remembering all those little things just makes me happy :)

The PCC castle turned out really neat, and I added some glittery gel pen to the window and flags. I love the Echo Park brad and the printed sentiment layered along with bottom of the page.

Another cute flamingo brings in some more pink colour to the layout, layered beside the PCC beach ball and wave.

I popped up the sunglasses with foam tape and added some Glossy Accents to the Sunny part of the diecut title. Adding the black gel pen around the edge of the title just helped it stand out on top of the yellow background.

Supplies Used:
Cricut: Photo Play Paper Happy Glamper, Paisley, Create a Critter
PCC files: Sand Bucket & Shovel, Sandcastle, Beach Ball & Swirly Ocean Wave

Hi there! I am so super happy it is summer - and feeling like summer!! I'm posting over on the Emerald Creek Craft Supplies blog today with a beachy layout for our theme this month - Beach! Think sea shells, water, sand.... These photos are from a camping trip where we spent some time at the beach and it was fun to reminisce while I created! I always try to get a Selfie in while Mike and I have a minute to ourselves. Of course, there are always lots of kiddo pics, but I think it's important to get those shots of us too!

Canvas Corp Brands - To The Sea June Challenge Layout!

Hello! I hope you're having a great week so far! I volunteered on a field trip with my youngest daughter's kindergarten class today - it was very busy, but lots of fun! Hard to believe we are into June already and on our way to the end of the school year. We go to the end of June here... and before you know it it'll be beach weather!! Woo-hoo! I was so excited for this month's Canvas Corp Brands challenge - To The Sea and found these photos of myself at the beach last year on a camping trip. I love how they matched up with the sentiments and fun beach themed supplies I pulled from lots of fun CCB products, which include Canvas Corp, 7gypsies and Tattered Angels. The new Tattered Angels Color Wash Paints were a dream to watercolour with! I also added in some Emerald Creek Dirty Sand Embossing Powder and SpiegelMom Scraps sequins.

Here's a look at our mood board for June. We would love for you to link up as well!! Just by including one of our fabulous CCB products - that's Canvas Corp, Tattered Angels or 7gypsies - you'll be entered to win a fantastic prize pack! You can link up at our main post HERE.

Be sure to head over to the Canvas Corp Brands blog - The Creative Studio - for a step by step tutorial on how I created the layout, see closeups (the canvas looks so cool up close!) and get a supply list! We can't wait to see what you come up with for this challenge! Wishing you a fantastic week ahead. 💕

Today I'm sharing a scrapbook layout from a day we spent at the beach a couple years ago using the Cricut cartridges Pack Your Bag (beach ball), Summer Love (beach sign) and Dude! (Just Chillin title).

I used the new August sketch from the Creative Scrapbooker Magazine Sketchy Challenge and a CTMH circle cutter to cut my photos to fit. I even used some of the leftover photo of the sand to punch circles in. The typed sticker is from a Tim Holtz sticker book. I just love the sayings in it!

The background and title is cut from a watercolour paper pad I just picked up from Michaels. I love that it easily cuts with the Cricut and has a slight variation in the colours to add interest to the diecuts.

The awesome new Seashell Sequin Mixes from SpiegelMom Scraps were perfect to add to this beachy page! (And if you use the code KARLA15 you'll save 15% at the SMS Store 😉)

I even used some sequins to decorate the beach umbrella after shading the edges of the cuts with Distress Inks.
