Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps March New Release Sneak Peeks Day 1 - Party Time Sentiments!

Hello and welcome to all our Krafty Friends! Are you ready for our MARCH Release at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps!? We are ready to CELEBRATE with a huge PARTY this month! We've got three new stamp sets, two coordinating stencils, a fabulous new hybrid ink colour and new krafty dots! Are YOU ready to party? We are kicking off the festivities with the perfect new stamp set from artist, MELISSA BAKER-NGUYEN called....PARTY TIME SENTIMENTS!

Check out this versatile set of totally functional birthday wishes! It's a 4x6 stamp set with images, sentiments, accessories and trinkets! It's great for kids & adults, guys & girls! Use it as the focal point of your creations or in addition to coloured images....make cards, tags, gifts and lots more!

I decided to use a couple of the solid round sentiment stamps as focal images on my card, along with the awesome balloon stamp! I used the brand NEW Morning Marigold Ink, which is a delicious bright yellow and Sparkling Sapphire Ink to add bright pops of colour and then coloured in the balloons with Copics and added Glossy Accents.

I created a fun background with the NEW Confetti Stencil, using Deco Foil Transfer Gel Duo and Rainbow Foil, which you can run through your diecutting machine to add pressure instead of using a laminator! So fun!! The NEW Party Time Dots are such great fun colours (you can see them below) and add another pop of colour and texture.

Inside, I stamped another sentiment and added some of the stars from the set. Stars are something you can always use for many different occasions! I love how many different and amazing fonts are included... this is going to be a go-to set for mixing and matching for sure!

Here's a look at the Sneak Peek Video where you can see all these images stamped out & up close!

As you hop around the Krafty Team's blogs today you will see the PARTY TIME SENTIMENTS stamp set in action in combination with our all of our other awesome new March Kraftin' Kimmie products!

We've got TWO brand new Krafty Stencils for this month's release to help accessorize your creations! They are called CONFETTI and PARTY TIME BANNERS!

And of course, we are adding the perfect new coordinating Krafty Dots for this release! The package includes 54 enamel dots in varying sizes in 6 different colours! These ones are called PARTY TIME DOTS!

Kraftin' Kimmie Saturday Challenge #515 - Love/Friendship!

Good morning and welcome to another Saturday challenge at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps. This week the challenge is LOVE/FRIENDSHIP! Since Valentines Day is fast approaching I wanted to make a sweet Valentine using the adorable You're Gnawsome images along with a tree stump from the Whimsical Gnomes set. These cute beavers are one of the New Releases for January - and they sold out in record time - so thank goodness they are back in stock!!

Each and every Saturday we post a brand new challenge for the week and you are welcome to enter as many times as you like! These must be new creations and you are welcome to use any stamp, however using Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps and products will earn you double entries! The monthly prize is a $40 gift voucher to the krafty shop!!! Woohoo! There are TWO ways to enter....you can link up your creation on the Kraftin' Kimmie Blog AND you can upload your photo to the album in our Krafty Friends facebook group!

I started off by stamping my images with Wicked Black Krafty Kolours Ink and then colouring with Copic Markers. I added a few white gel pen dots and dashes for highlights and fussy cut them out. This beautiful paper is designed by Nicole Wright and just released by Wild Whisper! I couldn't wait to use it on this card!! I love the way the sun turned out, stamped with Yummy Yellow Ink for an almost no-line look!

I used both Krafty Scenery Stencils to create grass, trees and clouds (sponged with Enchanting Emerald, Green Goblin & Bubbly Blue) on this fun textured paper that I cut into a heart shape with a Sizzix dotted die. The dots made it easy to add some neat stitching around the edge. The Tim Holtz Valentine Side Order dies worked great with the fun mixed media look papers, and the little envelopes were perfect to add a few stamped love notes to.

I tucked one of the cute love letters under this guy's tail and added glittery Stardust gel pen and Glossy Accents to various areas. I embossed the cute, punny sentiment with white embossing powder and added Pastel and Lovey Krafty Dots for even more embellishment!

Inside, I cut a banner from more of Nicole Wright's paper and stamped another sentiment from the set. This is such a great set and would be totally cute for Anniversaries, Birthdays, Woodland Themes and Friend Cards too!

We also have a sketch to inspire you for the month of January! Feel free to use it any time you like when you need a little kickstart to your creative process!

Gerda Steiner Adventure Bunny!

Hello! I hope you all had a lovely weekend! I had some time to colour up a cute little critter from Gerda Steiner Designs -  Bunny With Camera Digital Stamp. I decided to go with some Neutral Grey's, but I think he'd look sweet in lots of other colours! I picked out some papers from the Scrapbook & Cards Today Woodland Grove Kit and matched his cute camera to the teal blue's in the kit. He looked like he was on an adventure, so this sentiment from one of the cut apart pages worked perfectly. I even found a little Doodlebug Design puffy sticker (I think I'm obsessed with puffy stickers right now!) that simply had to go on!

You can catch more details and closeups on the Gerda Steiner Designs Blog, and find lots of awesome clear and digi stamps in the GSD Shop! I hope you have an amazing, crafty week friends!

Kraftin' Kimmie Saturday Challenge #514 - Happy Birthday!

Hello, hello!! I hope you've all been having a wonderful week so far! It's been super cold here in Alberta, Canada, but it's looking like the temp will be a bit more comfortable over the next few days! I've been staying in and getting crafty though for this week's challenge over on the Kraftin' Kimmie Blog - our theme is Happy Birthday! Who doesn't love a birthday card? 💗 I can always use more in my stash, so this was an easy one...

I'm using the brand new Happy Hedgehogs stamp set from the January Release. This is perfect not only for Valentines, but I thought the balloon was great for a birthday card, and how many sweet friendship cards could you also make... and think about a sweet bookmark or bookstore gift card holder with that little book reading hedgehog!

After stamping this cutie on bristol cardstock with Wicked Black Krafty Kolours Ink, which is Copic friendly and waterproof, I made a few masks with a sticky note and added four more balloons. I simply used a black marker to draw in the string. I used a watercolour palette to colour the images in and cut it out with a Sizzix dotted oval die.

I used some coordinating papers, diecut ephemera and stickers from a couple SCT Sampler Packs to finish creating my card after stamping the sweet sentiment from the Happy Hedgehogs set. You'll see the sketch I was inspired by below! I added a few of the beautiful Lovey Dots, some Stickles and used Glossy Accents to create a domed effect over the balloons.

Here are the details:

Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps New Release - Day 1 Love Bugs!

Hello and welcome Krafty Friends! I am so excited to be Guest Designing this month with the Kraftin' Kimmie team - and sharing the fabulous new Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps January Release to kick off the year! The brand new products for January are all about LOVE! So let's get started because I'm so excited to share the Day 1 reveal with you featuring the super sweet new stamp set from artist, SABRINA VAN VLOTEN!! It's called....LOVE BUGS!

Check out this sweet set of little bugs and friends! It's a 4x6 stamp set with lots of little characters, flowers in several sizes for creating scenes and of course, some perfect sentiments! This set is perfect for Valentines, friendship, happy mail and Spring!!

I couldn't resist colouring this adorable ladybug and beautiful flower with Copics to create a scene card to send some special Sunny Wishes to a friend! I used the new Petite Posies Stencil (shown below) along with some Yummy Yellow Krafty Kolours Ink to create a sunshine and stamped the sentiment with Wicked Black.

I tucked one of the small flowers into the ladybug's hand by cutting a small slice for it to fit into. A little Heart Dot - another new fabulous release (shown below) embellishes the sunshine along with some yellow dots from the Krafty Basics pack.

Here's a look at the fantastic goodies that go with this release - 

Of course, we are adding the perfect new coordinating Krafty Dots for this release! This is an exclusive set and will not be available once sold out so be sure to grab some! These ones are called HEARTS DOTS!

Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps Saturday Challenge Use The Colour Blue!

Good morning!  I am so super excited to be joining the Kraftin' Kimmie team as a guest designer this month!! I absolutely love Kraftin' Kimmie stamps, stencils, inks and enamel dots - and am thrilled and honoured to be sharing some of their amazing products with you throughout January. Today is the very first Saturday challenge of 2020 at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps, and we can't wait to see what you create!

This week the challenge is to create something with the Colour Blue, so I decided to grab the Whimsical Gnomes and Beautiful Blooms Stamp Sets, Krafty Kolours Inks in Stormy Sky, Bubbly Blue, Mermaid Melody and Totally Taupe, the Stained Glass Stencil and Krafty Dots from the Polar and Krafty Basics packs and created a blue tone on tone card with a touch of whimsy!

I am absolutely loving the Krafty Kolours hybrid inks! They stamp beautifully, can be used with Copics and watercolours and also sponge wonderfully through the Kraftin' Kimmie stencils. I used the Totally Taupe Ink to stamp the cute images from the Whimsical Gnomes set so I could use my Copics and get a no-line effect. I love how it turned out!

The flowers from the Beautiful Blooms set really are beautiful, and I love the solid image you get. I used the blue inks listed above and then layered them on the card. For the background I used the lightest Bubbly Blue ink through the Stained Glass stencil and then used the Stormy Sky (one of my favourites!) around the edges.

I added a sweet sentiment from the Whimsical Gnomes set, embossed with Emerald Creek Glacier White embossing powder. I added some coordinating dots from the Krafty Basics and Polar packs. 

We also have a sketch to inspire you for the month of January! Feel free to use it any time you like when you need a little kickstart to your creative process!

Each and every Saturday there is a brand new challenge for the week, and you are welcome to enter as many times as you like! These must be new creations and you are welcome to use any stamp, however using Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps and products will earn you double entries!

Warm Wishes Snowman Card!

Hello! I am over on the Gerda Steiner Designs Blog today sharing this cute winter card using the Snowman and Birds Digital Stamp from the Gerda Steiner Designs Shop. I love using snowmen on holiday cards, but this guy would work perfectly all winter long! I printed him out along with a hand-typed sentiment using the Miss Sasha font from Miss Kate Cuttables. There are so many awesome fonts available on your computer or online that you'll never run out of options for sentiments. I coloured the image in with Copics and layered all the pieces on some BoBunny paper from my stash, creating a lovely, wintry card!

Thanks so much for stopping by! Be sure to head over to the Gerda Steiner Designs Blog for details and closeups.

Copic Markers made quick work of colouring all the adorable images. I just love the peek a boo "Boooo" sentiment!

Inside a fun greeting!
