Turtley Awesome...an Inspirational Wednesday Card for Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps

 

It's INSPIRATIONAL WEDNESDAY at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps,
the day we provide you with a bit of extra inspiration
to help you get creative with your krafty stamps!


This week it's my turn to share a card and I chose to feature Turtley Awesome . I stamped this adorable little turtle in our Wicked Black ink on Neenah cardstock and coloured him with Copics. I fussy cut him out and placed him on a banner with a die cut sentiment. The background panel was created to mimic the watermelon in the stamp by first sponging white cardstock with Raspberry Rose Ink topped with Wicked Black ink sponged through our Sprinkles Stencil. I also used some Halloween Krafty Dots  and a bit of Stardust Stickles around the paper edges for a finishing touch.




If you want to add the  Turtley Awesome stamp set to your collection,

and find it at 40% OFF this week!

Happy Kraftin'

Flying or Swimming...a Kraftin' Kimmie Challenge

fabulous and fun Saturday Challenge


This week our challenge theme is: 

FLYING or SWIMMING!

I pulled out our Beach Blanket Bingo set and stamped the surfer bunny in Totally Taupe ink on Arches cold pressed paper. I watercoloured the scene and used a bit of Dr. Ph Martin's Bleed Proof White for the highlights. I paper pieced the surfboard with some of the fun design paper.

June 2021 Release Peeks at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps...Day 4

 

   Today is our final day of Krafty Peeks for the June Release

 at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps!




We are so excited to share a fantastic set

by artist

Michelle Houghton called...

LOOKIN' SHARP!


This set of potted plants will have your projects looking green and serene! The sentiments are so wonderfully fabulous and sure to bring a smile to even the most prickly friend!!


I absolutely love this set. The succulents are gorgeous and the sentiments are perfection...they make me chuckle every time I read them. I created a background panel by embossing some white cardstock with the Bouncing Bubbles Stencil. While the stencil was still in place, I sponged over it with our brand new Ocean Opulence ink in combination with Precious Pink and Soft Sage. I then stamped two of the plants in Totally Taupe ink on Arches watercolour paper and painted the images. The sentiment was stamped in Wicked Black ink.

I created a bookmark featuring this little swashbuckler sitting on her treasure chest. I stamped the image in Wicked Black ink on craft cardstock and coloured her with a combo of copics and coloured pencil. I used our new Rugged Rope stencil with Sandy Shores and Marvelous Mocha inks. I also used some products from our June Add-On Bundle including the chipboard coins and anchor, and the embossing powder for the sentiment.

June 2021 Release Sneak Peeks at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps...Day 1


It's time for our June Release Peeks to begin 


Today's featured set is a Krafty Komeback set by 
Emilie Goulet
called.....
SHELL-O!

This was originally released in rubber,
and we're so excited to bring it back in clear!

This set is perfect to kick off your summer projects with three very cool characters who can't wait to say "Shell-o"!

I used the adorable turtle for my card today. This stamp holds a special place in my heart as I was published in one of the Copic Colouring Guides with a card featuring this sun-loving guy several years back! I stamped the turtle in Totally Taupe ink on Neenah cardstock. I then drew in a kiddie pool and used our Krafty Scenery 3 stencil to complete the background by tracing the palm tree, leaves and umbrella. The scene was coloured in copics and I paper-pieced the umbrella in some fun design paper.
