Party Animal...A Kraftin' Kimmie Challenge

Good morning and welcome to another Saturday challenge 


This week's theme is "Party Animals"!

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 and products will earn you double entries for the monthly prize of a $40 voucher to the Krafty shop!

There are two ways to enter... you can link up your creation on the Kraftin’ Kimmie blog page AND you can upload your photo to the album in our Krafty Friends FB group.

I used a combination of three sets for my card. I stamped one of the adorable beavers from You're Gnaw-some and coloured him with copics. I also stamped the hat from Party Piggies and positioned it on the beaver's head. These images were both fussy cut and put onto a background made with our Sprinkles stencil and Mermaid Melody ink (I also added a bit of sparkle by adding Stardust Stickles while the stencil was still in place). The sentiment (stamped in Wicked Black ink) is from Party Time Sentiments (this set is currently out of stock, but you can add your email address to the store page for notification when it restocked). Finally, I edged the panel in turquoise stickles.

I used the adorable PARTY PIGGIES for my hop card. I decided to have another go with my polychromos coloured pencils. Despite having these pencils for a few years, I have not played with them much as I have yet to find a paper I really love for this medium. I stamped this little piggy on canson mi teintes paper  (not in love with this paper, but felt like I wanted to give it another shot) in our Totally Taupe ink. The blending is all done dry with just layers of pencil (no gamsol). I fussy cut him (forgetting to follow my own rule about colouring the edges to conceal the white paper core...oops) and adhered him to the paper with my favourite tombow mono glue. I used Raspberry Rose to ink the sentiment panel and paper edges then stamped a sentiment from the set in Wicked Black ink. Finally, I added stitching and some PARTY TIME DOTS




Time to visit our other designers! 

Happy hoppin' and happy shoppin'!

For my card, I started by making a background with the CONFETTI Stencil and several Krafty Inks including the new MORNING MARIGOLD (Ruby Red, Pumpkin Patch, Sparking Sapphire, Goblin Green). All sentiments and the balloons were stamped in Wicked Black. The main sentiment panel was inked in Morning Marigold. The balloons were coloured with copics (highlights are from a Posca pen). The papers were edged in Stardust Stickles and I added a few PARTY TIME DOTS.

March Skrappy Challenge at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps

Welcome to the March Skrappy Challenge

at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps!




For this challenge, you can make Anything BUT a Card...
bookmarks, gifts, scrapbook pages, journal art, planner pages, tags, boxes...pretty much anything that includes a Kraftin' Kimmie Stamp 

Make sure it's a NEW creation and as soon as we have at least five people playing, we'll be giving away a $20 gift voucher to the krafty shop!

You have until Monday April 6th to play along AND you can join as many times as you like. Be sure to share your creations on the Krafty Friends facebook page because we LOVE to see your stuff!

I made these mini watercolour palettes as gifts for the girls at Kimmie's birthday/late Christmas party last month. We often do a "favourite things" gift exchange, so I wanted to share my favourite watercolour brand, Daniel Smith. This palette consists of the split primary set (warm and cool shade of each primary colour) that was my first Daniel Smith purchase...so many mixes possible from this little set! I used empty gum packages to pan the six paints. I then cut and scored a little folder (similar to a match book) from plain cardstock to house the palette and added a velcro closure. To decorate the cover, I used a combination of our inks (Pretty in Pink and Raspberry Rose) with our Happy Hearts stencil. I spritzed a bit of glimmer spray over the stencil for just a wee bit of sparkle. The sentiment,stamped in Wicked Black ink, is from our Let's Get Krafty set.
