Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps April Skrappy Challenge!

 Good morning krafty friends!

It's April, 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!

I’m sharing a cute Easter tag today using the adorable Buns & Peeps stamp set and the awesome Wonderful Weave stencil! I created the background on a white tag using Bashful Blush and Mostly Melon Inks for a soft, ombre look.

For the pretty diecut butterfly, I used Mostly Melon, Summer Sunshine and Lavish Lilac Inks to colour the wings before adding Stickles for a bit of shimmer!

I paper pieced the cute bunnies from the Buns & Peeps stamp set using some pretty Easter papers and added in a cute scene with some Doodlebug stickers! I stamped the Hoppy Easter sentiment at the bottom, gave them some pompom tails and added a few sequins to finish it off!

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!  

You have until Monday, May 2nd to enter, and you can submit as many new creations as you like for more chances to WIN!  Also be sure to share your designs on the Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps' Krafty Friends facebook page because we love to see your stuff!

Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps March New Release Hop & Shop!

 Woohoo!!!

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

 Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps Shop!

All FOUR 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!

I had so much fun creating a cute slimline Easter card using the New BUNS & PEEPS Stamps! I cut out three circles from a slimline panel and watercoloured the sweet spring images. 

I added some light stenciling behind the cut out circles using the New FLORAL FANTASY Stencil and MOSTLY MELON Ink. 

I added in some pretty gingham grass using the Easter paper pack and coloured the chipboard flowers (both from the ADD ON BUNDLE) with glitter markers. A cute little sentiment is stamped on the front and I added a fussy cut Easter basket beside my chocolate bunny. I finished off the card front with some sequins from my stash and the Doodlebug Enamel Dot Sprinkles, which you'll also find in the ADD ON BUNDLE!

Inside, I added an Easter sentiment cut from a cut apart sheet in the Easter Paper Pack!

Mini Easter Milk Cartons with Video!

Hello! I'm so happy to share a cute little tutorial with you today using the adorable images from the Gerda Steiner Designs Easter Bunny Bundle and some Lawn Fawn cardstock. These cute little cartons are just perfect to slip in a few little chocolate eggs for your sweeties on Easter morning!

You can find the Video HERE where you can see the exact measurements to make these cute milk cartons yourself and watch how I coloured up these cuties. I originally found these on the ChicnScratch channel, so feel free to check out Angie's video there too!

I tied on some cute little carrot buttons and used a Pretty Cute Stamps Easter Stamp to add a sentiment on the signs. These would also be great as place cards if you're having an Easter Dinner!

Kitty Bee Designs #140 - Easter!

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 #140 over at the Kitty Bee Designs Challenge Blog - Aloha Friday!

Challenge #140

Easter!

Super big thanks to our sponsor for this challenge

The Paper Shelter - http://www.thepapershelter.com

For my project this week I'm using the super cute Little Easter Bunnies digi stamp from The Paper Shelter. I decided to grab my coloured pencils to colour in this sweet image that I cut out with a stitched circle die.

I heat embossed a Lawn Fawn Happy Easter sentiment on black cardstock and cut the ends to create a banner before layering it over the circle. I think it looks a bit like a snow globe! Seeing as it is actually snowing... boo... here, maybe that's fitting, lol. I'm really hoping we get some lovely warm spring weather soon. Maybe these bunnies will bring it 😉

Inside, I stamped another Lawn Fawn sentiment in black ink. I've really loved using this sentiment this year!

I used Distress Oxides on the cardbase to create a rainbow effect and then layered a Your Next Stamp looped stitched die across each colour cut with Tim Holtz Metallic Confection Cardstock. I love this stuff!! A few pretty sequins and gems from a Buttons Galore mix finish off the card, and it's ready to pop in the mail.

Emerald Creek Craft Supplies - Easter Canvas and DIY Enamel Embellishments!

Hi friends! I'm so excited to bring you my first Design Team post for the Emerald Creek blog!! Emerald Creek is an amazing Canadian company who ships internationally with fabulous stamps, metal embellishments and more, but one of their most amazing products is the embossing powders they make! Our theme this month is Easter, so I decided to create a gorgeous Easter Canvas using the beautiful stamps and powders and some diecuts and stenciling.

Today I'm sharing two videos - the first is a look at how to make some beautiful DIY Enamel Embellishments using the Baked Texture Vintage Beeswax Embossing Powder. This is part of a new release at Creativation in January and is a collaboration between Emerald Creek and Seth Apter of the Altered Page. You will not be disappointed when you play with these powders!

Here's a look at the video where you can see the process I use to create several DIY Enamel Embellishments that would be perfect on any type of project!

I coloured the stamps with Prismacolor and Hobby Color Markers, both alcohol based before adding the Vintage Beeswax Embossing Powder. 

This little raccoon is so sweet!!

I love how the the embossing powder creates such a cool coating on top and on the edges of the stamped images.

Here's the video where I show you the process of how I create the full Easter Canvas-

The embossing powders come in such a wide variety of colours and textures. I love the glossy effects!

I used the Distress Resist Spray and a sunray stencil to adhere the Charred Gold embossing powder - so fun!

One of my favourite things about this canvas is the way the Easter eggs turned out using an embossing folder, different coloured powders and covering them all with Fractured Ice embossing powder!

And, I love the little fairy tucked in ;) This beautiful Lily stamp would be the perfect addition to any Easter and Spring card as well!
