Baby Love

Welcome to Day ONE of our February release of 2018

at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps!

Today we're kickin' off the party....or should I say shower....

with a sweet new set from our fabulous artist, Melissa Baker-Nguyen!

You'll notice there is a theme this month and it's all about BABIES!! So we're having a shower instead of a party! Aren't I funny? ;)

This versatile set is called BABY LOVE!

This gorgeous set comes with lots of large images, smaller accessory stamps, scenery stamps and awesome words & sentiments!! You'll be able to design shower invitations, birth announcements and baby cards not to mention gift tags, bags and boxes and amazing scrapbook pages! Think of the possibilities!

I've designed 4 cards with the same layout in 2 different colours with 2 different images. How cute are they?

This cute elephant is my favorite image of this whole stampset, I think he is so adorable! I've used Glossy accents to add some details to the hearts and a white gelpen on his eyes to let sparkling his eyes.

On this image I used a white gelpen to add some dots and used the Wink of Stella clear brush to give some sparkle. I did it on the pink and blue one.

And here's a picture from all 4 together!

All of the Krafty Krew design team members and Krafty Guest listed below have lots of great designs to share with you today featuring the BABY LOVE stamp set! Be sure to hop around and leave lots of love at each and every stop because one lucky commenter will WIN a $10 gift voucher each day this week to the krafty shop! Plus we're doing a GIVEAWAY of the ENTIRE release on the Krafty Friends facebook page!

The winners will be announced at the party so don't miss it!

You'll get to see all the incredible creations for February as we share them each day this week! Be sure to join us at the LIVE Online Release Party on Sunday morning at 11am EST! We'll be checking out ALL of the THREE new clear stamp sets, sharing fabulous creations, giving away prizes and having tons of krafty fun!

This week our theme is MOVIE INSPIRED!

Krafty girl Deborah here, I'm this weeks hostess. I don't know how about you but I get inspired during watching movies. Lately I saw the animation movie "Gnomeo and Juliet" and I thought about the movie while making this card. It's such a fun movie with the blue and the red gnomes. The stampset "Whimsical Gnomes" are perfect for this card. I hope you'll have fun with the challenge!

Use any one of our stamps to tie into any movie or tv show for your creation!  How fun is that??

Create a card, scrapbook page, altered item etc. with a movie/tv theme and submit your design for your chance to WIN!  You have until Friday, February 9th to enter this challenge!  Keep in mind, all entries are welcome but you must use a Kraftin' Kimmie Stamp in order to win.

Each Saturday we post a new challenge and you can enter as many times as you like!!!  And each submission during the month will enter you into the monthly prize which will be....

Hi everyone!

 I just want to share this card I made. I made it for a friend who’s getting hopefully her last chemotherapy against her breastcancer. I want to let her know that I still think of her and encourage her. She was so strong and did it so well.

• skin: E04, E13, E11, E00, E000
• hair: Y21, E59, E37, E35, YR23
• red: R59, R46, R24, R22

Furry Angels

Hi everyone!

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

We all have lost furry friends over the years and know friends and family who have also been through such a devastating ordeal. It's hard to know what to do in these situations but I think sending a sweet handmade creation with warm thoughts and hugs is so helpful.

And so we have the new FURRY ANGELS stamp set!

And here's the card I've created using the new stampset. I sponged some clouds using a die from Lawn Fawn and some Distress Ink. The sentiment is embossed with white Wow! embossingpowder on black cardstock. Some sequins completes the card.

I've coloured this beautiful dog with my Copic markers.

Here are the colours I've used:

fur: E29, E25, E23, E21

wings: C3, C1, C0

blue collar: B18, B05, B02, B00

You will see these adorable images in action as you hop around the Krafty blogs! You'll see the list of Krafty design team members and Krafty Guests below and be sure to leave some love at each stop because one lucky commenter is going to WIN a $10 gift voucher to the krafty shop EACH DAY this week!!

Classy Olivia

Hi everyone!

I wish you a very happy New Year, may all your dreams come true! I just want to show you the card I’ve created for the new skin challenge. I know it’s hard sometimes but I have 1 big tip for you all: clean your markers before you start to colour! It depends from your colourcombination, but my E11, E04 or E13 are starting to be tacky really fast.  Rub on your nibs with some alcohol and make sure your marker contains enough ink.

For this card I’ve used  the gorgeous new Classy Olivia Digi Stamp. She was awesome to colour! She’s one of the new teen stamps, so I decided to use some trendy haircolours: a greyish brown and a purple ombre and purple lips.

Here are all the Copic colours I’ve used to colour her up:

• skin: E04, E13, E11, E00, E000
• hair: E79, E77, E74, E71, V28, V25, V22, V20
• dress: BG78, BG18, BG13, BG11, BG10
• purple: V09, V17, V15, V12
• eyes: YG67, YG63, YG61, YG11

stamp: Classy Olivia Digi Stamp

Let your dreams take flight

Hi everyone!

I just want to wish you a very happy New Year!

Today we're kicking off the Krafty year with a new challenge at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps. The theme of this week is "Sentiment", so you just create a card using a sentiment.

I sponged paper with Distress Ink, splattered some water on it and stamped with some small daubers white ink on it.

When it was dry I stamped the sentiment and the butterflies from the stampset "Butterfly Dreams" by Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps. I've glued it to a black cardbase, added some sequins and the card was finished.

Hope you'll find some time to play along!

Deborah

Ginger castle

Hi everyone!

 Did you already see the new and huge Candyworld release at Make it Crafty? There’s so much to choose from and the images are awesome! You can your own candybackgrounds or you can play with the original backgrounds. For my card today, I’ve used the Ginger Castle Digi Stamp but I cropped the image to the front part of the castle. Isn’t this fun?

I think this is just the perfect image for on a Christmascard, I love it so much! I printed the image a bit lighter and softer than black, so you don’t get the hard black lines. I also added the Christmas word chipboard and stamped the wishes word on the bottom.

Here are the Copic colours I’ve used:

• Sky: B00, B000/ C3, C1, C0
• grass: G28, YG09, YG06, YG03, YG00, YG11
• orange: E08, YR07, YR04, Y38, Y35
• pink: RV06, RV04, RV02, RV000, RV32
• blue: B05, B02, B00
• yellow: Y38, Y17, Y15, Y11
• red: E29, R46, R24, R22
• brown: E59, E37, E35, E33, E31
