Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps September Krafty Peeks... Day FOUR! Perfect Poinsettias! Plus a Challenge!

 Today is our final day of Krafty Peeks for the September Release 

 at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps!

We are so excited to share a wonderful set

by artist

Michelle Houghton called...

PERFECT POINSETTIAS!

This amazing stamp set is filled with beautiful florals and foliage to add poinsettia images to your holiday projects! Imagine lovely layers of goodness! Plus the sentiments included are fabulous!!

I absolutely love this beautiful set!! It is so traditionally Christmas and there are so many beautiful ways to use it! I started off by stamping the images on Bristol Smooth Cardstock and watercolouring them in with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers.

I used our New Pretty Poinsettias layering stencil with Krafty Kolours Inks, including our New Original Olive Ink, to create a lovely festive background. 

I layered one of the Ephemera pieces and washi across the stencilled panel and added some puffy stickers, all from the Add-On Bundle, and then layered and popped up my flowers and greenery.

Inside, I stamped a sentiment from the set with Original Olive!

Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps - September Stamp Of The Month!

     We are so excited to share our newest

Stamp Of The Month - Love Ewe!! 

Designed by Michelle Houghton

This sweet little lamb with a cozy toque will be

FREE with a $75 or more purchase at the

 Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps Shop (before taxes and shipping)

during the month of September!!

I stamped her up with Totally Taupe Ink on watercolour paper and coloured her in with Zig Clean Colour Real Brush Markers. I love the P13 Stitched With Love paper pack and used it for the card background and for her sweet little toque! 

I pulled out my sewing machine and used some stitched dies to add even more stitching effects. I stamped the sweet sentiment in Purple Pansy Ink and added on some diecut ephemera pieces from my stash. A few Krafty Dots finished things off!

We hope you're as excited as we are about the September Stamp Of The Month - Love Ewe!

Happy Krafting!

Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps Challenge #582 - Plants & Trees!

 Good morning and welcome to another fabulous and fun Saturday Challenge at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps! Are you ready for another fun and krafty challenge to inspire you and help get your creative juices flowing?

We've got some fabulous ideas for you 

and can't wait to see what you create!

This week, I'm your hostess on the Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps Blog, and my challenge theme for you is: 

PLANTS AND TREES

I created a no-line watercolour look by colouring the stamp lines in with markers using Tombows, Distress Markers and Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers, which are all waterbased, and stamping on watercolour paper. After I stamped the 'inked' images I used a paintbrush to pull the colour in from the edges to shade each element! 

I stamped the blossoms from the Spring Scenery set to add colour around the branch and then took a wet paintbrush to soften the flowers for a pretty effect. I added some fun stickers and ephemera from the Doodlebug Fairy Garden collection and used Tonic Crystal Glaze for a 3D look. 

I used the Krafty Scenery Stencil and Salty Sea Krafty Kolours Ink to add in some soft fluffy clouds and stamped the wonderful sun and sentiment using the New Hello Sunshine Stamp Set!

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.

These must be new creations and you are welcome to use any stamp, however, using Kraftin' Kimmie Stamp products will earn you double entries!

The monthly prize is a $25 voucher to the Krafty shop!!!

Woohoo!  There are two ways to enter: you can link up your creation on the  Kraftin’ Kimmie blog page and

Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps May Krafty Peeks Day TWO! Life Is The Bubbles!

  Welcome back to Day TWO of our May 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 Sabrina van Vloten

 and it's called.....

LIFE IS THE BUBBLES!

These wonderful sea creatures are ready to make your summer projects spectacular! You can add them into so many ocean scenes and the fun accessories included bring it all to life! I started out by making a center picture window card which opens up to showcase a fun scene inside! It's a little thicker, so I used the Denim Rick Rack and Chipboard sun from the ADD-ON BUNDLE to create a belly band. I used the P13 paper pad, from the ADD-ON as well and stamped the fabulous sentiment from LIFE IS THE BUBBLES! with the New DESIGNER DENIM INK.

There are so many amazing images to choose from in this set! I used Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers and Bristol Smooth Cardstock to watercolour this awesome scene and layered the images inside the picture window.

I used the New KRAFTY KALEIDOSCOPE Stencil with the DESIGNER DENIM again for a fun, bubbly background. Some white and stardust gel pens give each sea animal a bit of highlighting and shimmer.

On the back of the card I added a bit more paper from the P13 paper pad and stamped the second sentiment included in the set. I added one more cute sea creature and left a little spot for a personalized message!

 Check out LIFE IS THE BUBBLES! in so many gorgeous creations today as you hop around the Krafty Team's blogs!  You'll also see the new stencils, Add-On bundle and hybrid ink along the way! 

 Be sure to leave some love at each stop on the hop because there will be a giveaway of some krafty $$ to the shop! 

You'll see more of our May goodies all week, and then everything will be released after our LIVE Online Release Party on Saturday afternoon at 2pm ET in the Krafty Friends facebook group!  

For now, check out all the fantastic goodness in today's hop!

See you tomorrow!
