KKS Kine Krafty Peeks Day 4 - Good Times and Tan Lines!

 Good morning and welcome to our FINAL day of June Krafty Peeks!

Today we are revealing our last stamp set which will be releasing tomorrow afternoon at 3pm ET!

This one is from artist Neda Sadreddin and is called

GOOD TIMES & TAN LINES!

It's the perfect summer stamp set with these adorable kiddos!

Who wants to hang out at the beach or the pool??

Let's go splish splashing!

 

I watercoloured these super cute images and fussy cut them to create a fun beach scene!

I added some gold Lunar Paste through the She Sells Seashells stencil on kraft cardstock for the top of the card, and used some patterned paper for the bottom of the card. I love the sentiments in this set and the awesome beach accessories!

KKS June Krafty Peeks Day 3- Sum-Sum-Summertime!

Good morning and welcome to Day THREE of our June Krafty Peeks! 

Today's set is called SUM-SUM-SUMMERTIME!

This set is a KRAFTY KOMEBACK stamp set!

I watercoloured the delicious treats in this set using Tonic Nuvo watercolor pencils! Then I used KKS inks in Festive Fuchsia, Tempting Tangerine and Summer Sunshine with the Summer Sunbeams stencil to create a bright summer background! 

I added some Stickles glitter gel and Touch Of Gloss to add some sparkle and shine to my card.

I stamped the sentiment, popped it up on my background and finished it off with a few matching sequins!

For those who are new around these parts, Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps will be celebrating 15 years this fall so we have a lot of retired images most people have never seen before!  (And there are lots of requests for past stamp sets!) So once in a while we bring a set back and this one will be back this weekend!

AND check out this scrumptious new coordinating stencil!

It's called I SCREAM, YOU SCREAM!!!

It's a set of TWO layering stencils to create this colourful summertime background!  Yummy!

Happy hoppin' and see YOU tomorrow for more awesome goodies!

 Who's ready for some brand new Krafty Goodies?

It's time to bring you NEW stamp sets and layering stencils
from Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps!

In case you haven't heard, we are moving the release to every other month, but with the same number of wonderful products!

So we will be sharing FOUR new stamp sets (including a summer Krafty Komeback) and TWO new sets of layering stencils over the course of this week!

Today we are excited to kick things off with a stunning and elegant stamp set from artist Michelle Houghton called 
FLORAL FUN!!  

I created a pretty traveler's notebook featuring this beautiful stamp set in the last virtual Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps retreat. I layered on the Butterfly Bounty stencil and used Festive Fuchsia and Designer Denim inks. I watercoloured the pretty tulips with Zebra Pen Clickart markers, adding some extra length to the stems and fussy cutting out.

Here I watercoloured the daffodil and iris flowers and used coordinating KKS inks in Mellow Mustard, Luscious Lemon, Soft Sage and Designer Denim. I added some details with the Pattern Parade stencil as well.  I stamped the sentiments in the set in various areas and now I have a pretty journal to add photos and memories to!

As you head out on today's Krafty Hop you'll get to enjoy lots of gorgeous creations from our Krafty Team featuring FLORAL FUN in combination with some of our other incredible products such as our Krafty Kolours Hybrid Inks!

KKS May Skrappy Challenge!

 If you missed Saturday's post, I've been busy scrapping some old pics of my girls on a camping trip back in 2012!! For this pocket page, I grabbed some photos of my middle daughter at a splash park near our camping spot. She could seriously have stayed here all day!

I had a background I created with the Fresh Fruit layering stencil using lots of different Krafty Kolours Inks. This was perfect to use for a large journaling card pocket! I added some fun elements from Studio Calico and together with the fruit it added a bright summer feel.

I used some sentiment stamps from Fruity Fun with Fresh Fields Ink and added stenciled fruit images that I fussy cut to create customized embellishments. 

I added some journaling and was so excited to get these photos scrapped and into my album!

KKS Saturday Challenge #680 - Flowers, Reminders of Mom and/or Bright Colours! And iNSD!!

 Good morning and welcome to our new 

Monthly Saturday Challenge

at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps!

Are you ready for another 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 month our Saturday Challenge themes for you are: 

Flowers,
Reminders of Mom

and/or Bright Colours!

You can choose one theme or incorporate all themes - whatever inspires you!
It's a Choose Your Own Krafty Adventure!

Happy iNSD friends!! Be sure to head over to the Krafty Friends Facebook Group for iNSD challenges! Today just happens to be the May Challenge post as well! So I thought I'd combine these two things and make a cute scrappy project! Be sure to check out the challenges happening in the Krafty Friends Facebook Group!

I'm using flowers and bright colours on this cute pocket page layout with photos of my youngest daughter, who is now 12! This was her first camping trip, and being a non-sleeper, we both didn't get much sleep, but we still had a great time! And I just love these photos of her - especially the sweet hat that used to be her sister, Amie's!

I stamped images from the Look Out World stamp set and coloured them with Zebra Mildliners and used them to decorate the pockets of this page. I added in some stickers from Studio Calico and Pinkfresh Studio.

I used rub-ons, which were so old they actually wouldn't come off the sheet, so I simply cut the sheet and glued both it and the rub-on to the project life cards. I feel really great about using so much of my stash up! I added stamped sentiments from the Look Out World, Hello Little One and the May Stamp Of The Month - OH Baby!

We also have a new Ink Of The Month, which will be on sale all month long!! This month features the stunning

TRANQUIL TEAL Ink Pad, Ink Cube and Reinker! Grab it now to add to your collection..

Every month we post a brand new challenge with a choice of themes to choose from, and a mid month inspiration post with even more creative ideas! 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!

*Our Challenges are now combined with the 

Skrappy Challenge (first Tuesday of the Month)

and the Christmas Challenge In the Krafty Friends FB group! So feel free to enter any or all of these - the monthly prize is a $20 voucher to the Krafty shop!!!

Woohoo!

Here's OH Baby!

This adorable stamp set is FREE with a $75 or more purchase at the

 Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps Shop

This adorable OH Baby! stamp set was perfect for a sweet baby card! My oldest daughter is pregnant right now and I've been having fun making lots of baby themed projects!! I coloured up this cute image with Zebra Pen Zensations Colored Pencils. It is a quick image to colour and if you're ever in need of a last minute baby card... just sayin'!

I used the New Baby Layering Stencil to add stars to the background and stenciled the bottle and rattle images with Blue Bay, Mostly Melon and Glorious Grapefruit Krafty Kolour Inks. I added the Special Delivery sentiment to finish it off!

May Stamp Of The Month as much as we do!
