I pulled out my Krafty Kolours Inks and the fun Party Time Banners Stencil for some party decorations - finishing everything off with some sparkly Dazzling Dots! Now, let's get this party started!! 

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.

DIY Travelers Notebook Book Journal with Wild Whisper Designs!

 Hello friends! I'm back today to show you a project I'm sharing on the Wild Whisper Designs Blog. I recently did a Facebook Live Video for Scrap Shotz, showing how to make a DIY travelers notebook with Wild Whisper products and the We R Memory Keepers book binding tool. I decided to create a book journal for my daughter who loves to read, and I know she'll love to fill this with all the books she's reading and keep little notes on each one! It was so easy, I may just have to make one customized for all my family and friends!

Here's a look at the first page I did, and you can see the rest on the Wild Whisper Designs Blog!

Here's a look at the video showing you lots of NEW Wild Whisper goodies and the exact dimensions to cut your paper to create the journal!

Fancy Floral Watercolour Card!

Hello! I hope you're all doing well. I'm over on the Wild Whisper Blog today with a beautiful watercoloured card that looks like it was a lot more work than it actually was - due to the beautiful mixed media papers from the Fanciful Florals Collection by Nicole Wright! She has again come up with a gorgeous collection, and this time she has handdrawn florals on the back of each paper - so beautiful!! I used some Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers to watercolour the fussy cut florals and coordinated them with this pretty paper - and even incorporated an embossed background created with her stencil! You'll definitely going to want to check out the Blog for details!

Foiled Hanging Tag!

Hello! Happy Monday! I'm over on the Southern Ridge Trading Company Blog today with a fun foiled hanging tag using a chipboard tag, Primitive Stars set and a 6x6" Star Stencil.

Spring Chicken Card!

Hello friends! I'm over on the Gerda Steiner Designs Blog today with a cute chicken card. This Chick with her Mom will soon be in the Digital Stamp section of the shop, so be sure to watch for it! I decided to make a little Hello card for a friend and printed my own sentiment off of my computer - this stamp would work for so many occasions! I layered this cute pair on a stenciled background using the Fence Stencil from Southern Ridge Trading Company and some Granite Grey Krafty Kolours Ink. I added some sparkly Studio Katia gems to match the pretty gold thread!

Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps Saturday Challenge & New Release - Day 3 Hedgehogs!

Hello again! It's Day THREE day of the fabulous January Krafty Peeks at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps!! (Be sure to check out Day 1 and Day 2 to see closeups of all the new release goodies!) It's our FINAL day of peeks of our first release of 2020, and everything you've seen us share this week will be in the online shop this afternoon! We are closing things out with a brand new adorable stamp set by Melissa Baker-Nguyen called.... HAPPY HEDGEHOGS!

Check out these sweet little chubby creatures!! I'm so in LOVE! So many ways to mix and match them or use them on their own! You QUILL have so much fun creating with them!

Oh my goodness, these guys are just so adorable!! I had to make two cards - I just couldn't decide which images to use! I coloured up the stamped images with Copic Markers, first stamping with Wicked Black Ink, which is Copic Friendly. I then grabbed some BoBunny Summer Mood paper from my stash and got busy crafting! I love making Valentines Day Cards - they just make me happy!

I diecut some ovals, scallops and hearts and stamped the adorably cute Quill sentiment with the new Crisp Crimson Ink. You can see a closeup of the beautiful flower stencil I used over the black patterned paper. I used the Tonic Nuvo Moonstone Paste and it has an almost iridescent shine to it!  

For the second card I coloured up these two cuties and cut them out with a heart diecut. I used a similar layout for my card, adding the stamped sentiment on the heart - using the Crisp Crimson ink again. It is a gorgeous red! I just love these adorable Heart Dots!! They are new and will only be available while supplies last, so you'll definitely want to grab some of them.

I added some more diecuts and some Little Birdie Crafts flowers, and now I have two more Valentines ready to give to some very special people!

*** Of course, today is also Challenge Day and as always, during release week the theme is Anything Goes! So create a card, scrapbook page, altered item.....with a Kraftin' Kimmie Stamp! Use any sketch, design, colour scheme you want!

Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps - Day 2 You're Gnaw-some!

Hello and welcome back! I hope you enjoyed yesterday's previews! Today we are back with more inky goodness for our JANUARY 2020 release at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps, and we have a sweet new valentine set for you designed by our amazing artist Neda Sadreddin! It's called....YOU'RE GNAW-SOME!

What a fun set of sweet little beavers! There are several main images and accessory stamps plus some super awesome coordinating sentiments! These little sweethearts make my heart happy - and are sure to make your sweetheart happy too 💗

I couldn't resist making two cards using these guys! I coloured up the images with Copic Markers, adding some white gel pen highlights and got to work. I added the heart-sunshine (brilliant!!) and cut out the images with a Sizzix heart die. I thought the Echo Park Little Lumberjack papers were just perfect for these images! I white heat embossed the sentiment and added a couple of the awesome Heart Dots (shown below). I also pulled out some Krafty Basics Dots to add to the top of the card. I added some of the new Crisp Crimson Ink through the new Petite Posies Stencil (both shown below) on top of the red cardstock, giving a subtle tone on tone effect.

Inside, I stamped this fab sentiment with the new Crisp Crimson Ink (shown below) and added a little flower from the set stamped with Wicked Black Ink.

For the second card I again stamped with the Wicked Black Ink, which is Copic and watercolour friendly, and coloured with Copic Markers. I just love how 'in love' these two look 💓 I added a frame from the Little Lumberjack ephemera pack and stamped another funny sentiment, cutting a banner shape. I added a Heart Dot and a few more of the Krafty Basics Dots to embellish the card front. Again, you can see the tone on tone effect from stenciling with the new ink & stencil on the red cardstock!

I love this sentiment, and I'm totally giving this card to my hubby! 

Here are some more new goodies:

The perfect coordinating Krafty Dots for this release are, of course, heart shaped! 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!

There are TWO brand new Krafty Stencils for this month's release to help accessorize your creations - PETITE POSIES and TRIPPY TRIANGLES!

The newest addition to the Krafty Kolours Hybrid Ink line is a gorgeous new rich red named CRISP CRIMSON, available in full sized ink pads, mini cubes and ink refills!

You can check out YOU'RE GNAW-SOME in action as you hop around the Krafty Team's blogs today - linked below! You'll also see the new stencils, new ink and new dots!! Be sure to leave some love at each stop because Kraftin' Kimmie herself is going to give away some krafty $$ to a lucky commenter!

You'll see MORE of our brand new goodies over the next couple of days of Krafty Peeks and everything will be released at our LIVE Online Release Party in the Krafty Friends Facebook group on Saturday, January 11th at 2pm EST! For now, hop around and check out some incredible designs from our Krafty Team and start thinking about all the krafty things you can make with these goodies!!

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.
