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! You can link up on the Kraftin' Kimmie blog, and we'd also love to see your creations on the Krafty Friends facebook page !

You'll find many ways to inspire you to use these awesome sets.  Today, I've chosen to use the adorably sweet Pretty Fly Stamp Set and create an interactive card!

I used Copic Markers to colour up this adorable family of birdies in a rainbow of colours and added them to a background of Pinkfresh Just A Little Lovely 6x6 paper. I love the mixed media look of this! I used the Lawn Fawn Let's Toast Pull Tab to add an interactive element to the front of the card. When you pull the tab, out flies the little birdie!!💜 🐦

This is such an adorable set! I love how many ways you can create with it. I stamped one of the sentiments included in the set on another watercolour background paper with the NEW Magical Midnight Ink and created a little banner.

 A few of the NEW Heavenly Krafty Dots placed on the bottom right of the card add just a few more pops of colour and dimension! Of course, I had to add rosy cheeks to my birdies. They look so happy, and I'm definitely feeling the Spring vibe now!

 Inside, I used the NEW Fabulous Feathers Stencil and sponged on Charming Chartreuse, Green Goblin and the NEW Magical Midnight Inks. Now the card is ready to personalize with any sentiment I need!

Here's a recap of all the amazing new goodies:

I decided to make a Spa-cial 😉 relaxing card using this amazing set! Wouldn’t this be perfect to give to a friend for their birthday - or to a teacher with a little gift card tucked in?!! I glammed up this cute card with Stardust glitter gel pen and used white gel pen for highlights. I love the Gellyroll #10 pen! I added some of the NEW exclusive Heavenly Dots, which ended up matching my colours perfectly!

Inside, I stacked the various images in the Center Picture Window Card opening. I love all the accessory stamps that come with this! I used Zig Real Brush Clean Colour Markers on Bristol Cardstock to colour in the images, stamped with Kraftin' Kimmie Wicked Black Ink, which is Copic and watercolour friendly. You can see the NEW Chubby Clouds Stencil inside that picture window, sponged with Bubbly Blue (on sale!!) and the NEW Magical Midnight Krafty Kolour Inks.

On the very back I added one more sweet and serene image and left a spot to write a heartfelt note! I think someone will feel very relaxed and pampered after receiving it... Hmmm, I may just need to give it to myself 🤭

I used a Your Next Stamp die for the white stitched border layered over the pretty Fall Fling Lawn Fawn Paper as my background.

Copic Markers made quick work of colouring all the adorable images. I just love the peek a boo "Boooo" sentiment!

Inside a fun greeting!

13 Days Of Halloween - Day 11 - Lawn Fawn Caramel Apple Shaker Tag!

Howdy! Wow, Day 11 already! My girls are getting really excited about Halloween, and it's only 9 days away now. For today's project I'm sharing two fun shaker tags - perfect for adding to a loot bag full of candy! These are definitely not on the spooky end of Halloween, and could definitely be used for fall and even Thanksgiving. If I ever got around to making caramel apples, these would be awesome... but that's not going to happen this year!

I used two layers of fun foam to create the shaker walls and added some pretty Studio Katia Sequins. I thought the cute Mama Elephant mini message was perfect!

I matched the Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers to the fall colours in the Fall Fling Lawn Fawn Paper Pad. I like the fun, bright feel!

I added some yummy treats to dollarstore paper bags with a doily folded over. On the back is a sweet message from the Caramel Apple set stamped with Tim Holtz Archival Mini Inks.

Here's a look at the video where you can see how this project comes together! If you've missed any of the 13 Days Of Halloween be sure to check out the full playlist HERE.

Have a Holly Jelly Narly Christmas!

Hello! I hope you all had a fantastic weekend! We went to a Christmas Market here, which may seem a little early, but if you're a crafter you've probably been making Christmas cards for a while now 😉🎅🎄 - and speaking of Christmas cards I'm sharing two over on the Scrap Shotz Blog today! I pulled out my old and new Lawn Fawn Stamps along with some fun Lawn Fawn Paper, Distress Oxide Sprays (love!) and a cool stencil from Southern Ridge Trading Company and had fun creating.

Inside, I stamped a sentiment from the Winter Narwhal set - gotta love the puns...!

I love how the new and old stamp sets coordinate so well together! I really love feeling like I'm not forgetting my older sets.

I switched up the sentiment inside the second card with a greeting from Christmas Fishes... too cute!

I absolutely love the soft blue watercolour look with the gold in the logo, so that I what I was drawn to when I created three Christmas cards and two tags using the new Stamping Village Holiday Seals stamp set. I had so much fun mixing and matching papers and elements from my stash to coordinate with this look! I used Copic Markers to colour in all these sweet images - there are 12 seals in all to choose from and they are all so awesome! You can use them on envelopes, to coordinate with other images with each company they are designed by, cut out as smaller elements, or as tags and cards like I did... 

For this first card I used paper from the Simple Stories Heart 6x8 Paper Pad on my background and to create a faux polaroid frame. Then, I backed the frame with the pretty boca paper from the Lawn Fawn Snow Day Remix collection. 

All 12 companies came together to create this gorgeous stamp set. This image is by Avery Elle, and is so adorable. I added some white gel pen highlights and some silver gel pen to the string of lights. I used a Versamark Pen to trace around the outside of the image and added Emerald Creek Mirror Gold Embossing Powder.

For this next card I used a yellow toned woodgrain paper from my stash and a Waffleflower stitched diecut as the base. The stitched circle dies used in various sizes on these projects are from Kaisercraft, and a scalloped Your Next Stamp die features the pretty image by Pink Fresh Studio. 

I added Glossy Accents to the cute little bird and some white gel pen highlights to the leaves. I had some foliage diecuts in my stash, so I pulled them out to use with Tim Holtz Metallic Cardstock and Lawn Fawn Glitter Paper. A few coordinating pearls from Buttons Galore and More finish it off.

The 3rd card uses papers from the Lawn Fawn Snow Day Remix collection again. I especially love the music paper! I coloured in the whole circle from this stamp designed by Studio Katia in various blues, yellow and greens.

I added some Glossy Accents on the berries and a Studio Katia Gold Sparkle Crystal to the center of the flower.

For the tags I used a white cardstock tag with a Your Next Stamp stitched tag die and layered on my elements.

This little Lawn Fawn design is soooo cute! I stamped the Merry Christmas with Gold Embossing Powder from the Lawn Fawn Winter Wavy Sayings set. I didn't happen to have the matching banner die, so I handcut around the sentiment and used a gold pen to line the edges. A small hole punch allowed me to turn this sentiment strip into a little tag too!

This beautiful design by Altenew was very simple to colour with some green Copics. I added some white gel pen highlights and the Studio Katia Gold Sparkle Crystals for bling. I layered it on top of the diecut tag which I watercoloured with Distress Oxides. A few Pretty Pink Posh sequins finish this last tag off!

Thanks so much for 'Hopping' by 😉 I hope you've gotten lots of inspiration to create something beautiful yourself! You can head over to the Brande's blog next, and don't forget to leave a comment for a chance to win! Have a fantastic and very crafty week my friends.
