Skrappy Challenge at Kraftin Kimmie Stamps

Hidee ho, good stampers!!!
Welcome back to another month of Skrappy Fun at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps!!!


We challenge YOU to make Anything BUT a Card!!!

For this challenge you can make anything you wanna....except a card! So that means bookmarks, gifts, scrapbook pages, journal art, planner pages, tags, boxes...pretty much anything that includes a krafty stamp!!

Just make sure to include a Kraftin' Kimmie Stamp and make sure it's a NEW creation! As soon as we have at least five people playing, we'll be giving away a PRIZE!!! yep! One lucky krafter will WIN a $20 gift voucher to the krafty shop!

You have a whole month to play along until Monday, May June 25th at midnight EST!

Also be sure to share your creations on the Krafty Friends facebook page because we LOVE to see your stuff!

I used Cuddles the Puppy and made a 6x6 layout


My Great Dane Ziva loves to put her head out my sunroof, but it is so hard to get her photo because when ever you put the phone up, she drops back down into the car.  I managed to catch this picture , you can see Zeus in the passenger seat, so I knew I wanted to create a layout.    I colored the logo stamp from Cuddles the Puppy and used the You are my Bestie sentiment.  I created the background paper by spraying Krafting Kimmie Hybrid inks (I made into sprays) in Charming Chartreuse, Mermaid Melody and Ruby Red.  I finished it off with assorted sequins.

Check out some incredible inspiration from the Krafty Design Team below, then join us for all the fun!!

Happy Kraftin'!

Kraftin Kimmie Sneak Peek Day Three! - Berry Sweet

May Krafty Peeks...Day THREE! Berry Sweet....plus a Challenge!
Welcome back to our third and FINAL day of May Krafty Peeks!


Today we have another fantastic stamp set from our
amazing artist, Melissa Baker-Nguyen!
It's called BERRY SWEET!


This delicious set has so many possibilities!! It features lined images and solid images for inky stamping! You could create lemons, limes, oranges, grapefruit....red raspberries, black raspberries...such fruity fun! Plus there are so many fun coordinating sentiments!

I created two cards for you today:


For the first one I stamped the lemons on watercolor cardstock, embossed with white and then created a spray with Yummy Yellow reinker and water.




I sprayed a lot of yummy yellow for a heavy inky look.


For the second card I did the same thing, except that I used the new Pink Pizzazz reinker to make the raspberry spray and then used a green copic to color the stems.


The Pink Pizzazz spray.


I also added pink pizzazz reinker to texture paste and then pushed through the polka-dot stencil.  I then cut some circles to add as embelishments to my card.  Remember, you don't have to use the entire stencil. I finished off both cards with the new Fruity dots.  I love the bright colors in these new dots!

Of course, today is also Challenge Day and as always, during release week the theme is Anything Goes! So create a card, scrapbook page, altered item.....with a Kraftin' Kimmie Stamp! Use any sketch, design, colour scheme you want!

We can't wait to see your creations and you have all week to play along (until May 17th) and we'll announce the winner at the end of the month!  You could WIN a $40 gift voucher to the krafty shop!

You'll get to see all sorts of sweet creations as you hop around the Krafty Team blogs today! PLUS you'll see some of the other goodies in action....like our new stencils, new ink and new Krafty Dots!
