Saturday Challenge #588 - Surf's Up!

Good morning and welcome to another

fabulous and fun Saturday Challenge

at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps !

Are you ready for another fun and krafty challenge to inspire you and help get your creative juices flowing?

We've got some fabulous ideas for you 

and can't wait to see what you create!

This week, I'm your hostess and my challenge theme for you is: 

Surf's Up!

Create a project that is beach, ocean, sandy themed, etc!

I decided to create an underwater scene card this week using the adorable Keep Swimming stamp set along with the newly restocked Splish Splash stencil that is perfect for sooo many backgrounds! 

This fun background was one I had already made using the negative image of that fun  Splish Splash stencil and some Dina Wakley Gloss Spray. Because this spray is an acrylic paint, its perfect to create a resist and I was able to sponge on Krafty Kolours Inks in Amazing Azure, Ocean Opulence and Purple Pansy. I pulled out my sewing machine and stitched a line all the way around the edge before attaching it to the cardbase. I used some foam tape to pop up the sweet Copic coloured images and created a little cluster of diecut hearts and a sentiment sticker.

I stamped a sentiment with one of my fav inks - Stormy Sky and created another cluster of embellishments with the punny message! I added in those cuuute little Fish Tank Sprinkletz from the June Add-On Bundle for one more pop of colour and fun!

Inside I added the cute whale from this set, and now my card is ready to make someone else smile!!

Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps May New Release Hop & Shop!

  Woohoo!!! Today we are celebrating all the new fabulous goodies in our May Release that are NOW available in the Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps Shop!

All four of our new stamp sets, plus two new stencils and a new hybrid ink colour were released yesterday along with our exclusive ADD-ON BUNDLE, 

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

Today, I'm sharing the sweet underwater set LIFE IS THE BUBBLES along with the beautifully coordinating fish from DEEP SEA PALACE and some goodies from the awesome ADD ON BUNDLE.

I stencilled a fun under the sea background with the New KRAFTY KALEIDOSCOPE Stencil by first spraying with Dina Wakely Gloss Sprays, then adding colour with Vicki Boutin Gel Crayons and finally adding inky areas using Krafty Kolour Inks. I used this technique in the Krafty Friends FB Group in this video HERE if you want to check it out! 

I coloured all the images in with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers on Bristol Smooth Cardstock.  I used the New DESIGNER DENIM Ink to stamp this sweet sentiment from LIFE IS THE BUBBLES and added some white gel pen and stardust highlights to the images.

The New ADD ON BUNDLE has the perfect elements to complete my card, including pretty papers from the P13 Sunshine paper pad, Denim Rick Rack and the exclusive Hello Sunshine chipboard sun! I finished it off with some pretty Pastel Krafty Dots!

Mixed Media Birthday Card!

Hello! I hope you are all doing well. I'm over on the Gerda Steiner Designs Blog today with a cute mixed media birthday card using the Cat With Balloons digital stamp from the Gerda Steiner Designs Shop! I had fun with Dina Wakley Gloss Spray paints and Distress Oxide Mists to create an awesome background before adding this adorable kitty coloured with Copic Markers. I added some cardstock stickers with a birthday sentiment that arrived in the latest SCT Sampler pack! And, in case you're wondering - that fabulous blue splattered paper in the background is from my friend, Nicole Wright's newest collection from Wild Whisper - Fanciful Florals!

Thanks so much for stopping by! Be sure to head over to the Gerda Steiner Designs Blog to get closeups and details - and check out the Shop for all kinds of fun clear and digital stamps!
