Kraftin’ Kimmie Stamps September Skrappy Challenge!

Good morning krafty friends!

It's September and that means it's time for a brand new
SKRAPPY CHALLENGE

with Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps!

 The theme of course is ANYTHING BUT A CARD!

Today I'm sharing a sweet Autumn gift box, perfect for wrapping up a little gift for someone special! I used the We R Memory Keepers Explosion Board to create the XS gift box and lid with some pretty fall papers. Then, I diecut a square and added some lovely fall leaves using the New Falling Leaves Stencil along with Krafty Kolour Inks, including the New Cool Cantaloupe!

I stamped a leaf from the fabulous New Fall Breeze Stamp onto a teal paper from the P13 Paper Pad included in the amazing August Add-On Bundle! 

I coloured up this sweet squirrel and her pumpkin from the New Squirrel Friends Stamp Set with Copics and used a sentiment from the set on a kraft tag covered with Opal Polish for a shimmery golden effect. I finished off the box by tying some hemp twine around the box and adding this amazing Prima leaf charm, also included in the August Add-On Bundle!

For this challenge you can make anything that strikes your fancy....except a card!

So design a new scrapbook page, bookmark, tag, altered item, planner page, art journal, ATC cards...whatever you like!

Just make sure to include some Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps products and make sure it's a new creation!  As soon as we have at least five people playing along, we'll be giving away a $10 gift voucher to the krafty shop as the monthly prize!

Explosion Boxes with Wild Whisper Paper and WRMK Explosion Board!

Hello friends! I'm over on the Wild Whisper Blog today sharing some fun explosion boxes!! These are seriously so awesome to make with the New We R Memory Keepers Explosion Board! I got out some of the beautiful bright Pam Bray Sensations and Simplicity Paper Collections along with some Play In The Dirt Ephemera and Sequins. I originally filmed this Live on the Creative Scrapbooker Magazine Facebook Page and decided to share it today here!

I used some of the cut apart elements in the paper packs for the lid and added ephemera and sequins. I love the sentiments that come in the ephemera pack!

You can create boxes & lids in 7 different sizes, explosion boxes with instructions for flaps for pockets, gatefold cards and squash cards with the Explosion Board! I decided to go with a motivational/nature theme for these boxes. You could add photos and many more embellishments.

Here's a look at one more explosion box I created with these same supplies!

I just love the bright colours and how the different Wild Whisper collections can mix and match!

Here's a look at the VIDEO where you can see exactly how to put an explosion box together and get a closeup look at both these pretty boxes!

Kraftin' Kimmie March Skrappy Challenge - Sweet Bee Punch Board Box!

Hello stampers and krafty friends!! Welcome back to another month of Skrappy Fun at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps!! We challenge YOU to make Anything BUT a Card!! I'm sharing a cute little gift box made with the Sweet As Can Bee Stamp Set and my We R Memory Keepers 123 Punch Board.

I really love the versatility of the punch board - I created the bow you see on top and this box very quickly - but you can also create various sizes and shapes of other boxes, envelopes, file folders and more. I just got this adorable Sweet As Can Bee Stamp Set and wanted to decorate the sides of the box before putting it together.

I used Copic Markers to colour in the images - Y17, Y15 and Y21 for the yellow layers, N4, N6 and N8 for the darker areas and a bit of BG10 for the wings and BG32 added in for the honey pot. I added a few highlights with a white gelly roll pen pen and a bit of stardust pen for glitter.

I love using navy for stamping, so I grabbed the Magical Midnight Krafty Kolours Ink to stamp the sentiments and images and I used Yummy Yellow to sponge the edges of the bow. A bit of Bubbly Blue Ink added a light stamped ink for the little dotted line image.

For this challenge you can make anything you want to....except a card! So that means bookmarks, gifts, scrapbook pages, journal art, planner pages, tags, boxes...pretty much anything that includes a krafty stamp!! Just make sure to include a Kraftin' Kimmie Stamp and make sure it's a NEW creation! As soon as we have at least five people playing, we'll be giving away a PRIZE!!! yep! One lucky krafter will WIN a $20 gift voucher to the krafty shop!

Thanks so much for stopping by! You have until Monday April 6th to play along AND you can join as many times as you like as long as they are new creations!

Watercolour Gift Card and Bag Set!

Hello my friends! I'm so happy to be over on the Wild Whisper Designs blog today to share a card and gift bag set using the beautiful new Pam Bray - Watercolor 12x12 Paper Pack, Floral 4x6 Stamp Set and Pine Dreams Embossing Powder from the Wild Whisper Shop. This was such a fun gift set to create! I love watercolouring with my Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers, so I started out by using them to colour in the flowers from the stamp set, matching the colours to the lovely Watercolor Papers which are designed by the sweet and talented Pam Bray together with Wild Whisper. I used the DIY Gift Bag Cricut Pattern in Design Space to quickly diecut the gift bag - I love that I was able to showcase both sides of the 12x12 paper with the fold over edge design! I even pulled out my We R Memory Keepers Foil Quill to add a quick Enjoy sentiment to the matching gift tag.

Thanks so much for stopping by! Be sure to head over to the Wild Whisper Designs blog to see lots of closeups and details, and don't forget to use the code DTKARLA to save 10% in the Wild Whisper Store. I hope you have an amazing weekend!!

Kitty Bee Designs Challenge #96 - Congratulations!

Hi Friends! I hope you've been having a lovely week so far! I've had lots of fun creating projects lately and here's one more for you!  It's time for the midweek inspiration for Challenge #96 over at the Kitty Bee Designs Challenge Blog - Aloha Friday!

Challenge #96 - Congratulations!

Super big thanks to our sponsor for this challenge

KaDoodle Bug Designs - http://kadoodlebugdesigns.com/shop/

and

Scrap N' Dipity - http://scrapndipity.com

For my project this week I used this adorable Magic In Every Cup digital stamp from Kadoodle Bug Designs! They include a coloured image as well in case you want to simply print and use the image - and you can find the cut files for this sweet image on their site too! I printed this cutie out on white cardstock, coloured him with Prismacolor and Hobby Colour Markers and then used a Spellbinders Nestabilities die to cut out the panel and a coordinating mat. A bit of white gel pen adds highlights and some Glossy Accents added a gloss look to the beans and the unicorn's horn.

I love the Congrats sentiment from the Whatnot Sentiments Five stamp set from Your Next Stamp. I first stamped it on a white cardstock background with grey ink and then used a pretty Tim Holtz embossing folder from Sizzix to emboss this gorgeous background. A bit of Distress Oxide Inks sponged over top highlighted the beautiful leaves and flowers.

I used some new Kaisercraft Wildflower paper (my fav right now!!) to create a bow with the We R Memory Keepers 123 punch board and added some sequins and a cork heart from SpiegelMom Scraps.

Inside, I used a sentiment and images from the Perk Up stamp set by Your Next Stamp. I thought it matched the theme perfectly! A few matching sequins from SpiegelMom Scraps decorate the inside.

Thanks so much for stopping by! Be sure to check out the Kitty Bee Designs Aloha Friday Challenge to see all the inspiration from the other awesome Design Team members - and enter your own project HERE for a chance to win!! Have a wonderful weekend!
