Kraftin' Kimmie July 2023 Challenge- What's the Scoop?

  Good morning and welcome to our new 

Monthly Saturday Challenge

at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps!

Are you ready for another krafty challenge to inspire you and help get your creative juices flowing?

We've got some fabulous ideas for you 

and can't wait to see what you create!

This month our Saturday Challenge themes for you are: 

Ribbon/Twine, Summer and/or Blue!

You can choose any or all - whatever inspires you!

I went with the summer theme and used the "What's the Scoop stamp set"! That crab in the floatie is just so fun!! I stamped my images, colored them with copics and then fussy cut them out. I thought a mini slimline would be a great card size for these images so I found some patterned paper and created my little floatie scene! To finish things off I added some glossy accents to the floaties to make them shine!! I do have a video sharing this card! You can see it HERE!(after 8:00 am CST)

Our Ink Of The Month, which will be on sale all month long, just happens to be a lovely shade of blue!! This month features the gorgeous Amazing Azure Ink Pad, Cube and Reinker! Grab it now to add to your collection.

MerMay 2023- Harmony Mermaid

Today's mermaid card for MerMay uses a digi I've had for years!! It's from the artist, Michelle Perkett. I don't think she's even around anymore. This one is called Harmony Mermaid.

The sentiment says, "A woman in harmony with her spirit is like a river flowing. Maya Angelou". I kept the card simple to showcase this wonderful mermaid!

Have a fabulous day!

Let Your Dreams Take Flight Wiper Card

Today I have a card using the Kraftin' Kimmie April 2022 Add-On Bundle! I just LOVE the wiper cards that come in this bundle so I just had to create another wiper card!

I also made a video showing how easy it is to use these wiper card kits!! Check it out HERE!!

I used the Kraftin' Kimmie Leaves and Vines stencil for the background with several great Kraftin' Kimmie inks! I paired the beautiful stenciled background with the Kraftin' Kimmie Butterfly Dreams stamp set. 

I love how the butterfly comes up and pairs with the sentiment, "Let Your Dreams Take Flight on Soaring Wings". 

I can't wait to make more of these wiper cards, they are kind of addicting! Thanks for stopping by and be sure to check out my video!!

Made With Love!

Today I have another card for a challenge in the Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps Krafty Friends Facebook Group. This one was to use non-traditional Christmas colors.

I chose the Christmas is Love stamp set. I went with one of my favorite color combos, pink and orange! I just love the way this color combo looks.

Since I had her so colorful I went with a very simple layout and background so she would stand out. 

I have been slacking on finishing the insides of my cards so I took some time today to finish this one. Amazing how just a few little touches finish it off so nice.

This turned out so fun and I know it will bring a smile to someone this holiday season!!

Have the best day ever!

Digi Choosday- Walking the Dog

It's time for another Polkadoodles Digi Choosday Challenge!! Be sure to visit the blog for today's discount code and to see the other fabulous creations from the design team.

The challenge is "Anything Goes" but the design team was challenged to create a card with the theme of Summer, Bright Colors and Something Cheerful!

I chose Winnie Walking the Dog from the Starfish/Sandcastles Collection. She just seemed all summery with her big hat on and the cute dog just melted my heart with the sunglasses on. 

I used the digital papers from the Winnie Sunshine Delights Paper Pack 2 for my papers. They probably aren't quite as bright as I could have gone but they just made me smile and think of summer!

Thanks for stopping by and have a fabulous day!

There's a Stamp For That-You're gnome-azing!

It's time for a new challenge at my group, There's a Stamp For That! Challenge #24 has the themes of Unicorns or Sparkle or at least 3 layers! 

My card today follows the theme of having at least 3 layers. I love this Butterfly Gnome from Polkadoodles! He just makes me happy!

My papers were printed from the Polkadoodles Winnie Sunshine Delights Paper Pack 2. I really am enjoying the digital papers! so nice to be able to just print out what you want.

I printed my sentiment from Polkadoodles Gnome-tastic Sentiments just a tad too big to go on the outside of the card so I added it on the inside. 

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you'll come join the fun at There's a Stamp For That!

Lady Dragon

I was recently asked to be a guest designer for Sweet Escape Digis and I happily said yes! They have some wonderful digital stamps and I can't wait to showcase them!!

For my card today I used a digital stamp from the set, 4 Fantasy Digital Stamps. I have been watching Game of Thrones (for the first time) with my hubby and I may be a bit obsessed with dragons at the moment so I thought the Lady Dragon was the perfect image to color up!!

Be sure to check out Sweet Escape Digis and also come join the Sweet Escape Digis Facebook Group for inspiration!!

Have a wonderful day and share your smile and dream your dreams!
