Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps August New Release Hop & 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!

All five 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!

There were just too many cute options to choose from, so I grabbed a bunch of images I had already coloured and used them on my card today! 

I started off by stencilling a soft background using the New COOL CANTELOUPE Ink with Summer Sunshine Krafty Kolours Ink and the New TIRE TRACKS Stencil. I love this fantastic bunny on a scooter image from the JUST DRIVIN' BY Stamp Set, and I coloured him up with Copics to match the colours in the P13 Paper Pack and Tags from the ADD ON BUNDLE. 

That BEEP Sentiment is awesome, and I think it looks like he's zooming through the Fall leaves from the HAY YOU Stamp Set. I stamped the leaf in several colours of Krafty Kolours Inks and coloured them in with coloured pencils, adding some shimmer with the pretty Opal Blaze Polish from the ADD ON BUNDLE. I added some of the cut aparts from the paper pack and stamped a fun sentiment that's actually in the FALL BREEZE Stamp Set! I added a partial Tag at the top of the card and finished it off with various Krafty Dots.

Inside, I stamped a leaf and sentiment from the FALL BREEZE Stamp Set using the New COOL CANTELOUPE and Berry Bliss Inks. I'm going to give this card to my hubby for our Anniversary next month!

Your Next Stamp June New Release Preview!!

Hello friends! I'm super excited to be guest designing this month for the fabulous Your Next Stamp!! I absolutely love working with this company and I'm always wowed by their fun and creative stamps, dies and accessories. Today is a special Sneak Peek Preview Day where you get to see what all the designers are doing with the awesome new stamps - before the big reveal Blog Hop on Thursday! Today, I'm using the super sweet Card Buddies stamp set to create three different cards. This stamp set is so versatile with so many different accessories!

The first card is a cute teacher thank-you card using the bunny and puppy in the set. I coloured all the animals and accessories in with Copic Markers and then mixed and matched them to fit each card. I thought the glasses, bowtie, book and apple were just perfect to set the scene for a teacher card! I used a thanks sentiment from the YNS Whatnot Sentiments Set Four stamp set and embossed with Emerald Creek Glacier White embossing powder on black cardstock. The stars are from a new set Cool Tees stamped with Distress Oxide Ink. (I'll be using the Cool Tees set on Thursday!!)

I used various papers and embellishments from the Scrapbook & Cards Today Sampler Packs from the last couple months. These are always fun to dig through to create something! I added a little Glossy Accents to the bunny's glasses - I love those glasses!!

For the second card I decided to create a wedding or anniversary card, using some soft floral paper in the background and the bear and pig stamps. I cut out the stitched frame border using the YNS Photo Booth Panel Die.

I added layers of foam tape to the animals and their arms and accessories to give them dimension. A bit of white gel pen adds detail to the images at the end.

And for the third card, because I just had to use all the images... I used the raccoon and cat to create a birthday card. I again used the YNS Photo Booth Panel Die, but instead of layering it on top of a full background piece, I used to the die to cut out focal cake images and placed them into the diecut on the cardbase. I added sequin embellishments from some Wild Whisper Designs sequin packs by SpiegelMom Scraps.

I added some Distress Oxide Inks to the Hooray For Cake diecut ephemera piece and popped it up with foam dots. I just love these little guys, and I still have so many more accessories to create with!

Thanks so much for stopping by! Be sure to head over to the Your Next Stamp Blog to see what all the other designers have come up with using this month's New Release goodies, and don't forget to pop back Thursday morning at 11 am EST for a fantastic and fun blog hop with a special sale code, a giveaway and lots of inspiration!

Have a wonderful week my friends!!

Happy Anniversary!

My anniversary is coming up in a couple months and it will be our 10th! Holy cow, time does fly! I was sorting through some CTMH Picture My Life cards last night and came across some of the Skylark collection cards from my friend, Sheri Ballantyne - and I just had to stop and make this card. It seriously only took me about 20 minutes to put it all together!

I layered a small 3x4 journalling card on top of a 4x6 one after sponging the edges with Distress Ink. Then I layered a piece of cardstock and ribbon diagonally following the sketch over at Mojo Monday this week.

I stamped the typewriter stamp from the April Stamp Of The Month with the Happy Anniversary type inside the paper and popped it up on foam dots.

My daughter felt the photo needed a little shot of her Superhero popsicle stick craft ;) I love that these cards look like they are layered with papers and stamps and sentiments already!

I used Crystal embossing powder to add some glittery shimmer to the wet Distress ink before cutting it out. I love that Distress Ink stays wet a little longer so I can add embossing powders to it!

Thanks so much for joining me today! I hope you're having an awesome Friday and get to enjoy a little crafty time this weekend! You can check out the special goodies Sheri has at her CTMH site and start making your own projects!
