KKS September Hop & Shop!

 Woohoo!!! 

Today we are celebrating all the new fabulous goodies in our September Release that are NOW available in the

 Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps Shop!

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

I'm using the awesome GNOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS today! This sweet sets has holiday sentiments, but lots of images and accessories that could be used all year long! I watercoloured the stamped images up with Zebra Clickart Markers, using Vicki Boutin Foundations paper. I added some white gel pen highlights and paper piecing on the gnome hat and tree!

I sprayed the MERRY MISTLETOE stencil with Tim Holtz Mica Stain and then pressed the stencil with leftover spray onto another piece of cardstock to create the negative impression that you see below on my cardbase. I used a piece of ephemera from the Vicki Boutin Evergreen and Holly collection and then added a sentiment stamped with Crisp Crimson Ink. I finished off the card with some dew drops from The Robin's Nest Creative.

So let's check everything out as we hop around the Krafty Design Team's blogs today!  Grab a drink, sit back and relax while we take you on a krafty tour!

First up we have a magical winter fairy set

 and it's called.....

SNOW FAIRIES!

artist Neda Sadreddin

We've got TWO new Krafty Stencils for this month's release to help add some funky flair to your creations!

MERRY MISTLETOE!

KKS July Krafty Peeks... Day THREE! Barefoot Beach!

 Today is our third day of Krafty Peeks for the July Release

 at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps!

Today we are 'peeking' a beautiful scenery set 

from artist Michelle Houghton

 and it's called.....

BAREFOOT BEACH!

We now have a new seaside landscape to add to our collection!! If you're a fan, you'll also want to check out the beautiful Majestic Mountains scenery and Desert Landscape sets!!

This is my favourite project of this release! I ended up creating a postcard and I love how it turned out!! I watercoloured in the beach scene with Clickart Markers, creating a sunset in the sky.

I used a snow marker that you heat to create a puffy effect for the waves and then stamped the sentiment with Stormy Sky Ink. I feel relaxed just looking at this scene!

Then, I turned the card over to create the postcard back. I used the Snail Mail set to stamp Krafty Mail! along the top and created a stamp with the sunshine from the cute Mermaid Kisses Set from Day ONE. I even added the 'To' using one of the Krafty Advent Kalendar Stamps. I love mixing and matching my stamp sets! 

Check out BAREFOOT BEACH! in so many creations today as you hop around the Krafty Team's blogs! You'll also see the new stencils along the way!

You'll see more of our July goodies tomorrow, and then everything will be released after our LIVE Online Release Party on Saturday at 12 noon ET in the Krafty Friends facebook group!  

For now, check out all the beautiful projects in today's hop!

See you tomorrow!

KKS July Krafty Peeks... Day TWO! Underwater Pals!

Welcome back to Day TWO of our July Krafty Peeks!

Are you excited about what you've seen so far!?  Are you ready for more?

I hope your answer was yes because we've got more fabulous fun for you today!

The stamp set we are 'peeking' for you today is from 

artist Neda Sadreddin

 and it's called.....

UNDERWATER PALS!

This fun and fabulous set perfectly coordinates with the beautiful Mermaid Kisses set we shared yesterday!! Just think about the awesome underwater scenes you'll be creating!

I love the cute little faces on these fishies!! I watercoloured with Zebra Clickart Markers and added a few white gel pen highlights.

There are so many ways you can create with the new Underwater Scenery Stencil! I first layered on the seaweed, then added bubbles with my Krafty Kolour Inks. Then, I went over the bubbles with Ranger Translucent Texture Paste for a glossy effect. And lastly, I used Simon Hurley Lunar Paste to add the stenciled fish! 

 

I added the bubble accessory stamps and coated them with Nuvo Crystal Glaze for a glossy look and finished off the card with a heat embossed sentiment and The Robin's Nest Dew Drops!

 Check out UNDERWATER PALS! and our new stencils in so many awesome creations today as you hop around the Krafty Team's blogs!
