Or you can buy them individually too! I've also just posted a NEW RELEASE videowhere you can check out all the new sets and see some fabulous samples to inspire you!!
I used one of the cute stamps from the new You're A Rockstar! set that was released this month. Included in this set are three adorable young musicians and several coordinating sentiments. I used some older Bo Bunny paper, but make sure you check out the paper pads at the KKS store...Kimmie just added some brand new pads!! The image was stamped in Memento Desert Sand ink and coloured with Copics. I paper-pieced her pj's and added some shading with my markers. The music paper was cut and matted with Spellbinders Circles and Lacey Circles. The pearls were made with a Viva Decor Pearl Pen in black.

My hop card today features one of the sassy Oh, Snap! girls. I used some gorgeous Graphic 45 papers called Botanical Tea...this 8x8 pad is in stock and on sale at the KKS Shop right now!! I LOVE the patterns and vintage feel of this paper pad. It's definitely one of my favourites! All paper edges were distressed and sponged with Walnut Stain Distress Ink. Antique Linen and Walnut Stain Distress Inks were used on the paper doily to antique it. I added some crocheted trim and pearls to finish it off. The Oh, Snap! photographer was stamped in Memento Desert Sand Ink and coloured with Copics. The polka-dotted portion of her dress was paper-pieced with some of the Graphic 45 papers. I added some shading to the paper-pieced part with Copics.

Good morning everybody and welcome to another challenge at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps! This week, our hostess is Miss Kraftin' Kimmie herself and she's created a fun sketch to play along with! We hope you participate in the challenge for your chance to win...just make sure to use a Kraftin' Kimmie Stamp on your submission!
I used one of the adorable stamps from the new Lil' Swashbucklers set. The sentiment is also from the set...I just stamped the words individually to have them in their own circles to fit with the sketch layout. I stamped Lucas in Memento Desert Sand ink, coloured him with Copics, fussy cut him out and adhered him to the map patterned paper...what pirate doesn't love a good treasure map?! Oh, and speaking of patterned paper, make sure to check out all the gorgeous paper pads at the KKS Shop...you'll find them HERE. I added a couple of buttons and some twine to finish it off.
Make sure to pop on over the KKS Blog to see what the other Krafty Girls and Guests have created for today's sketch challenge. You can also link up your submission there...we hope you play along this week!!

I'm so excited and very honoured to be participating in this awesome release at Little Miss Muffet Stamps!! These new Fearless Fairy Tales stamps are amazing. I LOVE colouring fairy tales images, and I love them even more when they're just a little edgy ;) It's such a privilege to be playing along with this very talented group of colourists. Their work always inspires me and leaves me in awe of their skills. You're in for quite the treat today as you visit their blogs to see what they've created with the Fearless Fairy Tales.
My card today features Rapunzel from the Fearless Fairy Tales. It's hard to choose a favourite from this collection, as they are all incredible images...which is why you will likely want each stamp. ;) I love all the details in this image: the folds in the fabric, the intricate stonework of the tower, those gnarly hands of the witch and of course that hair!! I used some old papers from a DCWV stack and distressed them quite heavily with my scissors followed by Walnut Stain Distress Ink. The birdcage is from Dies by SCACD and the flourishes are an MFT die that I cut up and added in small bits. I added a few Prima flowers centred with a pearl. I'm not sure where I picked up that metal filigree flower...I added a bit of ink with my Copics to antique it as it was way too shiny and new looking for my taste. ;) Rapunzel was coloured with Copic markers. After finishing with the markers, I added a touch of white coloured pencil to the dress. I also added some additional shading with a black Conte Crayon applied with a paper blending tortillon.
Skin: E000, E00, E11, RV95 Hair: E50, E31, E33, E37, E59, BV29 Dress: B91, B93, B95, B97, B99, BV29, C9, V01, V15, V09, C9 Witch's hands: YG00, G20, YG91, YG95, W7 Witch's cloak: C1, C3, C5, C9 Curtains: V01, V15, V09, C9, BV29...I also went over the curtains with BV00 to try to tone down the contrast in order to "push" then further into background Stone/Marble: W00, W1, W3, W5, W7, E40, E42, E43 Sky: BG000, BG70 Clouds: BG70, BV31, C00, C1, C3, Blender

Just wanted to say thanks again to Barbara for inviting me to participate today!
Hi there! I have loved art since I was a little girl and you could often find me with a pencil and sketchbook in hand. As an adult, I enjoy experimenting with various mediums including paint, coloured pencils and markers. This blog is primarily focused on stamping and papercrafting. I am so grateful for this community and the friendships I have formed with other crafters from around the globe. Thanks for visiting!
