Fawn'd Of You Deer Friend

There is a blog hop at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps today to celebrate all the new goodies from the March Release.

I loved the Fawn'd of You stamp so much I couldn't wait to play with it again :)

This time I went for more of an Autumny vibe and used the deer from the set as well.

The sentiment is actually in a straight line on the stamp, which is what I usually want, but I thought it would work better to cut it up into words for this card.  I just did this by hand and then stuck it on to black card and trimmed around it again.  I then glued it on to the oval in a way that filled the empty space.

This stamp set is so beautiful and there are just so many ways to use it :)

So let's have a fun hop around the Krafty Team and Krafty Guests' blogs and check everything out in action! Grab a nice hot (or cold) beverage, sit back and relax while you enjoy this kreative tour!

First up is the incredible new set from artist,
Melissa Baker-Nguyen called....
LLAMA DRAMA!

Next up is the lovely new stamp set from artist,
Cheryl Grant called.....
FAWN'D OF YOU!

And the last clear stamp set for March is from our newest artist, Neda Sadreddin called.....
YOU GIVE ME WINGS!

We also have a brand new Hybrid Ink in the large ink pad, mini cube and ink refill and it's called....
SPARKLING SAPPHIRE!

We have two new stencils that you will love called....
LEAVES & VINES and STARBURST!

Lastly is our BRAND NEW product in the Kraftin' Kimmie line and that's our new KIMMIE DOTS!!

You Give Me Wings

Welcome back to our third and FINAL day
of March Krafty Peeks!

Today we have a FAIRY sweet stamp set from our
newest artist, Neda Sadreddin!
It's called YOU GIVE ME WINGS!

This adorable set features three lovely fairy images plus a few accessory stamps, a fairy DOOR and several coordinating sentiments! I mean, so FAIRY cute!

I decided to use this fairy from the set and coloured her in very bright fairy colours.  I also used the birds and sentiment from the set.

For the background I sponged on some distress inks and then used the new Kraftin Kimmie Starburst      stencil with some texture paste.

Of course, today is also Challenge Day and as always, during release week the theme is Anything Goes! So create a card, scrapbook page, altered item...with a Kraftin' Kimmie Stamp! Use any sketch, design, colour scheme you want! We can't wait to see your creations and you have all week to play along (until March 22nd) and we'll announce the winner at the end of the month!

Fawn'd Of You

Welcome back to Day TWO of our
March Krafty Peeks at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps!

Today we are sharing a wonderful spring stamp set
from artist Cheryl Grant!
It's called FAWN'D OF YOU!

This sweet set features a lovely lady who's getting ready for the nice weather to begin and the flowers to start growing!
She has two furry friends...a bunny and a fawn....plus four coordinating sentiments!

I love this girl!  Isn't she so sweet :)
I decided to colour her in bright colours to co-ordinate with this cute Doodlebug Design paper that I've been hoarding.
The Thanks sentiment is from the same paper range.
I also used some of the new Kraftin Kimmie Springy Dots.

I really like to have Thank You cards at the ready to show my appreciation and make someones day happier.  I think this Fawn'd Of You set is just perfect for that :)

Don't forget about the MARCH Ink of the Month!
The colour this month is LOVELY LAGOON and you can scoop up the large ink pad, the mini cube and the ink refill
for 15% OFF until March 31st!

You'll get to see ALL the new goodies....stamps, stencils, ink and dots over the next couple of days! Then everything will be released at our LIVE Facebook Release Party on Saturday afternoon at 1pm EST in the Krafty Friends group!

For now, hop around and check out some amazing designs featuring FAWN'D OF YOU from our Krafty Team!
See you back here tomorrow for our final peek day!

Happy kraftin'!

Llama Drama

I am very excited to be Guest Designing for Kraftin Kimmie Stamps this month :)

All the Krafty FUN is about to begin
as we kick off the
March 2019 release for
Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps!

This is Day ONE of our Krafty Peeks and we are over the moon excited to share everything with you!
We've got new stamps, stencils, INK and enamel dots!
Hang on to your inkpads people....here we GO!

The first stamp set we are previewing for you is
called LLAMA DRAMA and is by our fabulous
artist, Melissa Baker-Nguyen!

This hilarious stamp set is just too fun for words!!
It features several main images (heads can be interchanged too), plus accessory stamps and awesome sentiments!


I used Copics to colour this gorgeous Llama and I took inspiration for the colours from the new Kraftin Kimmie Springy Dots.

I also used Copics to colour the background and added some charcoal pencil around the llama for a dark shadow effect.

I decided to use the 'spit happens' sentiment from the set to create a background on kraft card.
And I also added a few doodles and some washi tape.

As you hop around the Krafty Team's blogs today you will see the Llama Drama stamp set in action in combination with our awesome new March Kraftin' Kimmie products!

You will spot our newest addition to the Krafty Kolours Hybrid Ink line! It's a stunning new dark royal blue called
SPARKLY SAPPHIRE!
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 coordinate with our stamp sets!
They are called LEAVES & VINES and STARBURST!

Coffee and Friends

Hi :)  It's day two of the new release at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps.

This Coffee and Friends set is really great!  And if you love to colour, like me, it's a must have!
It was so much fun to colour these two ladies enjoying a cuppa and a chat :)

I wanted it to really look like a cafe so I made a little awning for the card.  All I did was use a scallop edge die (SU) to cut a piece of card and pattern paper and glued them together.  Then I scored two lines and made a valley fold.  It looks quite effective in real life :)

The Coffee and Friends set comes with some great coffee themed sentiments too.  But I just had to use this one from the new Sweet Summer Sentiments set.  It just seemed to be the perfect fit!  It could be used for many occasions of course, but I had a retirement card in mind :)

Ingredients :

Stamps : Coffee and Friends, Sweet Summer
Card : xpress it, black, grey, slate,
Ink : memento black
Other : scallop edge die (SU), copics

The sentiment was just perfect to use on a Sunburst Card.
I used papers from the Glitz Uncharted Waters pad and decided to add a few pink jewels to the rays too.
