Hammin' It Up...March 2021 Sneak Peeks at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps

 

  Today is our third day of Krafty Peeks for the March Release

 at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps!



Today we are 'peeking' a fabulous set 
from artist Neda Sadreddin
called.....

HAMMIN' IT UP!!



I absolutely LOVE this set! I'm aging myself here, but it brings back fond memories of watching Hammy Hamster in the mornings before school lol. This card is really simple to make...no design paper used at all! I started with an A2 sized card base and used our new Radical Rectangles stencil to create these layered colour blocks...I love that the stencil includes the "cut outs" from the rectangles that can be used as masks for layering! The inks used for the blocks include the new Rich Rust along with Soft Sage, Sandy Shores and Magical Midnight. I used a multiliner to doodle around the rectangles. I then stamped the little accessory stamps all around the white areas, coloured them with coordinating polychromos coloured pencils and added some random dots with the multiliner. I stamped the sentiment and hamsters in Wicked black ink. The hamsters were stamped on kraft paper and done in coloured pencil (mostly polychromos with a white luminance for highlights).



Here's a look at the stencil:

My Hero...March 2021 Sneak Peeks at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps

 

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





Introducing a new sentiment set from 
Melissa Baker-Nguyen called.....

MY HERO!!



This amazing set of sentiments matches perfectly with the fabulous Dragon Flight stamp set previewed yesterday!

I used the "Be Your Own Hero!" sentiment from the set and paired it with some fun design paper from Doodle Bug. This scene was a sheet of 6x6 paper that I cut apart in layers and popped on on foam dots for some dimension. The sentiment was stamped in our Wicked Black Ink. I also used three elements from the chipboard included in the March Add-On Kit and coated them in stickles. The little Shimmerz stars beside the sentiment are also from the Add-On Kit.




Here is a look at the products in the March Add-On Kit:

Glitter...a Kraftin' Kimmie Challenge

  Good morning and welcome to another

Saturday Challenge



This week it's my turn to play hostess and my challenge theme for you is: 

GLITTER!

I used the recently restocked LOVE BUGS stamp set for my shaker card today. I started by creating a background panel for the shaker portion of the card using our Summer Sunbeams Stencil and three of our inks (Yummy YellowSummer Sunshine and Morning Marigold). Before removing the stencil, I added a coat of glitter paste to the sunbeams. I assembled the shaker and fussy cut the flowers from the design paper to frame the shaker window. I stamped the ladybug couple in Totally Taupe ink, coloured their heads in copics, paper pieced their backs with the design paper (shaded with copics) and added some stickles to the heart dots. The sentiment was stamped in Wicked Black ink and I added some Stardust Stickles to all paper edges.




Every Saturday we post a brand new challenge for the week and you are welcome to enter as many times as you like with new creations. You are welcome to use any stamp, however, using Kraftin' Kimmie Stamp products will earn you double entries for the monthly prize of a $25 voucher to the Krafty shop!

March 2021 Skrappy Challenge at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps

    Good morning krafty friends!

It's March and that means it's time for a brand new
SKRAPPY CHALLENGE

with Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps!


 The theme of course is 

ANYTHING BUT A CARD!

For this challenge you can make anything that strikes your fancy....except a card!

Make sure your project is a NEW creation that includes some Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps products.  As soon as we have at least five people playing along, we'll be giving away a $10 gift voucher to the krafty shop as the monthly prize!  

I made a bookmark for this month's challenge. I started by stamping this avid young reader from My Happy Place, masked her, then stamped the tower of books from Save My Place. Both images were stamped in our Wicked Black ink and coloured with Copic markers. I then made a background using a combination of several Krafty inks (Granite Grey, Ruby Red, Marvellous Mocha, Wicked Black) and our Brick Wall stencil. I added some additional texture to the bricks with coloured pencil. I then added a tassel and a little canvas tag stamped with a sentiment from Save My Place in Wicked Black ink.
