These new sets are all so amazing, it was hard to choose which one I wanted to use today! I decided on the gorgeous LOOKIN' SHARP Stamp Set and layered on some pretty papers along with a dry embossed panel using the New BOUNCING BUBBLES Stencil!

I heat embossed with white embossing powder on watercolour paper and used some of my Jane Davenport Mermaid Markers to create this pretty watercoloured scene!

Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps June Krafty Peeks... Day FOUR! Lookin' Sharp! And a Challenge!

   Today is our final day of Krafty Peeks for the June Release

 at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps!

We are so excited to share a fantastic set

by artist

Michelle Houghton called...

LOOKIN' SHARP!

This set of potted plants will have your projects looking green and serene! The sentiments are so wonderfully fabulous and sure to bring a smile to even the most prickly friend!!

I started out by taking some black and white floral paper and giving it a pop of colour by stenciling with Kraftin' Kimmie Krafty Kolour Inks, including the gorgeous New OCEAN OPULENCE and the New BUBBLES STENCIL. I layered on some coordinating succulent paper matted with green cardstock and used a punny sentiment from the set. The matching buttons included in the JUNE ADD-ON BUNDLE was so perfect as a pretty embellishment! 

I coloured in the images with Copics and used some white gel pen for highlighting. These plants are so awesome and I'm so excited for this set!! You could coordinate the pretty pots so many ways! I added a few Krafty Dots for a finishing pop of colour!

SpiegelMom Scraps - Motivational Card Set!

Howdy friends! I'm posting over on the SpiegelMom Scraps blog today and wanted to share a motivational retro card set with you! Our theme this month is 'Take Us Back June' and the Design Team has been working hard to find lots of 80's and 90's inspiration! These adorable animals from the Work It clear stamp set from Pretty Cute Stamps totally reminded me of the '20 Minute Workout' program from the 80's. I may or may not have dressed up with a headband or bodysuit and danced around my living room while that show was on....

Pretty Cute Stamps - Donut Fun!

Hi crafty friends!! How is your week going so far? Mine has been full of snow! I can't believe we've still got snow and are almost at the end of April. Well, I guess I need to be thankful for all the wonderful things I do have right now :) And this cute donut card using the Donut Worry, Be Happy stamp from Pretty Cute Stamps made me feel happy too! My 10 year old daughter, Amie went to a friend's birthday party on the weekend at a doughnut shop called Jelly Modern Doughnuts. The kids had a blast decorating donuts! Of course, I thought it only fitting that her little friend got a 'Donut' card ;)

This sentiment, included in the set, is one of my favourites!

I stamped these happy donuts on watercolour paper and coloured them with Jane Davenport Mermaid Markers. I love these markers for watercolouring!

Inside, I used two sentiments from the Wish Big Pretty Cute Stamps set.

I really love decorating the envelope, even if it's with a quick sentiment and image stamped with coloured ink! I added some fun You Are My Sunshine sequins from SpiegelMom Scraps - perfect in keeping with the 'sprinkled' theme.

Here's a look at the amazing donuts Amie decorated at her friend's birthday party. She did a great job, and they were very yummy too!

Here are the two stamp sets I used today:

Donut Worry, Be Happy

Wish Big

Thanks so much for stopping by today! You can find lots of inspiration at the Pretty Cute Stamps blog, and be sure to check out the Pretty Cute Stamps Store to find these and so many more awesome stamps!
