 and it's called.....

STONE AGE FRIENDS!


Thirdly, is an adorably sweet chipmunk set
from artist Sabrina van Vloten
 and it's called.....

CHEEKY CHIPMUNKS!


And lastly, we have a fantastic, cuddly panda set

by artist

Becky Pearce called...

PANDA-MONIUM!


We have a gorgeous new ink colour called 
As always it will be available in full sized ink pads, ink cubes and ink refills!


We've got TWO new Krafty Stencils for this month's release to help add some funky flair to your creations!  They are called....
We've again carefully curated an awesome ADD ON BUNDLE featuring several amazing products which coordinate beautifully with our new goodies!!


You'll be all set to start your
crafting with this month's Add On Bundle, which includes:

  • 3 pack of Photoplay Wiper Cards to customize
  • 12 beautiful Jewelz Mix containers
  • Baby Rickrack perfect for adding colour to or using as is!

And don't forget our awesome Stamp Of The Month!! We have the beautiful A Spring Hello stamp, which is FREE with your order of $75 or more before shipping/tax!  (while supplies last!)


For my hop card, I used the adorable Panda-Monium set and coloured three of the little pandas in copics. I created the background by covering a piece of white card stock in our new Luscious Lemon ink. The next step was to block out some sections using the solid cutouts from the Semi-Circles stencil which were taped in place. I then laid the new Tiny Triangles stencil over top and applied Lucky Limeade Ink. I removed all the initial stencils, then applied the main part of the Semi-Circles stencil, leaving the yellow Luscious Lemon semicircles exposed. On top of that I applied The Vines and Leaves stencil and then brushed on a combination of Charming Chartreuse and Lucky Limeade Inks over the yellow areas. While the Semi-Circle stencil was still in place, I used a black multi-liner to trace around the edges of those areas and brush on some additional ink to shade the edges. After removing the stencils, I adhered the fussy cut pandas in place and added one of the sentiments from the set.





Now head on out on today's celebration blog hop and check out all the new products in action as the Krafty Team shares their incredible designs!  Then jump on over to the Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps shop and grab some of these fabulous goodies for yourself!

Happy Krafting!
