KraftIn’ Kimmie February New Release HOP & SHOP!

WOOHOO! Today we are celebrating all the new goodies that will be available this afternoon from our FEBRUARY Release at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps! All THREE new clear stamp sets will be available over at the Krafty Shop, along with our new MAGICAL MIDNIGHT ink, TWO new Krafty Stencils and our new Heavenly Krafty Dots right after our Release Party in the Krafty Friends Facebook Group at 2 PM EST!  Yaaaay! Today, you'll get to see all the creative ways the Design Team has come up with to share these new products from the February Release again - if you missed inspiration from Day 1, Day 2 or Day 3 be sure to check it out, along with the VIDEOS! 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:

First up we have a gorgeous new set from artist, Sabrina van Vloten called....HAPPY HUMMINGBIRDS!

Krafty Kimmie Stamps February New Release HOP - Day 3 & Anything Goes Challenge!

Wow! It's Day THREE day of the February Krafty Peeks at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps!! If you missed Day 1 or Day 2 be sure to check them out! It's our FINAL day of peeks and everything you've seen us share this week will be in the online shop on Sunday afternoon! We are closing things out with a brand new adorable stamp set from artist Neda Sadreddin called.... THAT'S A WRAP!

Check out this calm and relaxed lady!  How wonderful to make a peaceful creation for someone who deserves a break! There are some main images, a lot of extra accessory stamps plus some fabulous sentiment stamps!

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 🤭

You can see the video HERE with closeups of the new goodies and That's A Wrap Stamp Set! Don't forget to like, subscribe and hit that notification bell if you want to see more!! Let me know if you liked seeing the images stamped out each day.

Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps February New Release HOP - Day 2 Pretty Fly!

Hello friends, and welcome back to Day 2 of the fabulous February 2020 Release Sneak Peeks from Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps!! Did you enjoy yesterday's previews of all the amazing new goodies?? Are ya ready for MORE? Be sure to check out the VIDEO below for closeups over everything!

Today we have a sweet new encouragement set by fabulous artist Cheryl Grant! It's called....PRETTY FLY! What a sweet little family of tweeters! There is one main image with an extra birdie stamp plus some wonderful and uplifting sentiments!  These little sweethearts make my heart soar!

I just love the way the little bird looks like he's getting ready to fly, so I decided to play on that and create a flip card showing him spreading his wings! This card would be perfect for Graduation or Congrats, and I love how many other occasions you could use this lovely spring set for - there are lots of options with these sentiments!

 I created a background on Yupo Paper with Ranger Alcohol Inks and used a Sizzix die to cut out an oval. I used the Mama Elephant Flip Slider die to create a little flip effect showing the baby bird spreading his wings to fly!

I used one of our NEW stencils - Chubby Clouds to lightly stencil in fluffy clouds in the background with Bubbly Blue Ink (on sale this month!!)

Our NEW ink Magical Midnight is a wonderful stony blue, which I used to stamp the sentiment on the pull tab.

 I used Copic Markers to colour in the images. You could use so many colour combinations for these cuties! I added three of our NEW Heavenly Dots on the bottom left of the card for a touch more of texture and colour!

Inside, I stamped the cute stand alone birdie and a cheerful sentiment, and I used the NEW Fabulous Feathers Stencil with Bubbly Blue, Lovely Lagoon and NEW Magical Midnight Inks.

Here's a look at the VIDEO where you can see everything included in the Pretty Fly stamp set along with the interactive card I created in action!

Check out PRETTY FLY in action as you hop around the Krafty Team's blogs today!  You'll also see new stencils, new ink and new dots!!  Be sure to leave some love at each stop because Kraftin' Kimmie is going to give away some krafty $$ to a lucky commenter!

Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps February New Release HOP - Day 1 Happy Hummingbirds!

Hello! Boy am I excited to show you the February Release at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps!? I'm also super excited to let you know I've joined the Kraftin' Kimmie Design Team!! I'm so honoured to be part of this amazing group of talented ladies - sharing these fabulous products with you. I'm so impressed with the quality and service of this company and so proud to be part of it!

The brand new products for February are going to make you think of spring....and wings! And peace....and relaxing!! So let's get started because we're so excited to share everything with you! We are starting things off today with a super sweet new stamp set from artist, SABRINA VAN VLOTEN!!

It's called....HAPPY HUMMINGBIRDS! Check out this sweet set of feathered friends! It's a 4x4 stamp set with several gorgeous hummingbirds, some beautiful floral images and of course, some perfect sentiments! How cute!

I've created two cards today with this awesome set and have a VIDEO linked below for you to check out!! I stamped out the beautiful images on Copic friendly paper with Wicked Black Krafty Kolours Ink and used Copic Markers to colour them to match some pretty Pinkfresh paper.

I used Bubbly Blue Krafty Kolours Ink (on sale this month!) to brush on the Chubby Clouds Stencil in the background - keep reading to see this awesome stencil up close!

I just love the sentiments included in the set, and I stamped this one with our NEW Magical Midnight Ink (see below). I based this card on February's sketch, which you can see in this post here. 

 

For the second card I used the same papers and colour scheme and, just as I did for the first card, I stenciled the awesome new Fabulous Feathers Stencil with some glittery paste I had in my stash. I am definitely going to be using these stencils a lot!!

I added a hello sentiment, diecut with my Cricut Maker and coloured it with the new Magical Midnight Ink. I seriously love this colour!

I added some of the new Heavenly Dots (see below) to accent my cards - be sure to grab these quick once they're in the shop!!

Inside, I added another sentiment from the set. How awesome is this card going to be to send to someone special?!!

Here's a look at all the images stamped out and closeups and details of the cards I created in the video below!

As you hop around the Krafty Team's blogs today you will see the HAPPY HUMMINGBIRDS stamp set in action in combination with our all of our other awesome new February Kraftin' Kimmie products! You will spot our newest addition to the Krafty Kolours Hybrid Ink line! It's a gorgeous new dark stone blue named MAGICAL MIDNIGHT! As always it will be available in full sized ink pads, mini cubes and ink refills!

We've got TWO brand new Krafty Stencils for this month's release to help accessorize your creations! They are called CHUBBY CLOUDS and FABULOUS FEATHERS!

And of course, we are adding the perfect new coordinating Krafty Dots for this release! This is an exclusive set featuring new sizes and will not be available once sold out so be sure to grab some! These ones are called HEAVENLY DOTS!

Kraftin' Kimmie Saturday Challenge #516 - Combine Your Stamp Sets - and a SALE!

Hello!! I'm so excited to be back today with a fun new Saturday Challenge from the Kraftin' Kimmie Blog. This week we are challenging you to Combine Your Stamp Sets. It's always fun to pick up new goodies, but when you can combine them with other sets you have - bonus! *Be sure to check out the code below for an awesome sale in the Kraftin' Kimmie Shop!!

I pulled out 5 different sets to use on this card!! On the front I'm using Snowflake Kisses- I embossed the snowflakes with Stampendous Shabby Blue embossing powder and used a sentiment from the set stamped in Crisp Crimson Krafty Kolours Ink, the adorable Jolly Happy Snowmen -coloured with watercolour markers (PS You can check out the colouring video for that HERE) and Solid Holiday to stamp the yummy cup of hot cocoa! I used Rainbow Krafty Dots to add three pops of red at the bottom of the card. 

I coordinated the stamped images to match colours in the Crate Paper Snowflake Collection and added some puffy marshmallows and bits of snow on the sentiment strip with a snow marker, which puffs when heated.

Inside, I stamped a sentiment and another cup of cocoa with the 5th set - Beary Big Hugs using the Crisp Crimson and Marvelous Mocha Inks.

Of course you don't need to use more than 2 stamps, but I wanted to challenge myself, and I had fun mixing and matching sentiments and stamps!
