So here's my take on the cloud challenge..... ready???? 
This set is called "Make a Splash!" and is one of my absolute favorites of all time!  Coloring all of those petticoat layers is so much fun.  It gives me plenty of time to just check out and color.... I love it!  I used R85, 83 and 81 to color them.  The yellows were Y17,15,13,10, and 00, her hair is BC59, E37, 25 and 33.  I used like 5 colors on the water along with two different wink of stella pens to get that shimmer. The papers are from Doodlebug of course and the pop dots are Echo Park Summertime. The dies I used are from Gina Marie. 
Ok Krafty People..... 
Pull out those fabby stamps and play along! Have some krafty fun and join us this week!!

I colored her up with my trusty Copic markers and added bright papers from my scrap bin.  I wanted to try a different fold, so I went with a gate fold this time.  I found a few wooden accents in my embellishment bin and thought they went perfect with Brigitte.  I colored her hair in wild colors because she looks to me like a girl that has lots of personality!

Okie dokie.... with all of that business out of the way..... the challenge this week is "Things with Wings!"  I thought to myself that this would be a super fun challenge and immediately went for one of my fairy stamps..... you, YOU KNOW ME TOO WELL FOR THAT!!!!!!!  So, I promptly put Rosie fairy back in her place and I tapped my fingers on my desk thinking.... thinking... thinking..... well, I guess it's time to put away the stamps from this months' release..... and we all know that my OCD demands that I alphabetize my stamps... so as I was labeling them... I noticed that the new Hoppy Friends happens to have some sweet little birdies in it.... and birds have wings!!!! OMG I need a cup of coffee and I need to get coloring..... coffee, ohhhh ANGIE!!!!!!! ......and then a card was born.... well the idea for one.... here's how It came out. 
I went with a St. Patty's day theme here as well and I made it into a shaker card.... because, well, yeah, why not?!?!?!? I used AngieHoppy Friends, and the sentiment is from the new Tweetie Birds set. 

Ok, I've talked your ear off enough, Hope you make a card with us and play along this week!  Happy Krafting!!!! 

Wednesdays are Wonderful!

It's Wonderful Wednesday time!! We hope you can play along!! As always....it's ANYTHING GOES!! Break out your Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps and get krafty!!

At the end of the month one random winner will be chosen from all the submissions for the whole month and will receive a $20 Gift Card to the shop!!! What do you think.....wanna WIN?? Let's see your krafty stuff!!
So, who else is excited for Beauty and the Beast coming out on the 17th?  I'm losing my mind over here!!!!! Naturally, I decided that my Wonderful Wednesday card HAD to be Beauty!!!! 

I used a few DSP from Bo Bunny because I wanted that vintage and soft feel to the card.  I used a sponge and "Vintage Photo" and "Tea Dye" Distress inks to age the edges of the papers.  The flowers are mostly Wild Orchid with a few others from the Recollections line.  I colored Beauty with my Copic Markers, of course! 

In addition to the great Krafty Challenges & Wonderful Wednesday, each month we will post a Sketch.

Okie dokie, so here's my card for your inspiration.... 
I found a piece of paper from a graphic 45 stack that I thought would be a soft and vintage sort of feel for this fuzzy little guy.  I stamped him with versamark ink and embossed him with black detail embossing powder.  I then made a frame using dies and matted him with kraft paper.  The background paper is from a stack that I bought a hobby Lobby, but I can't remember the name. I used some satin ribbon to tie a simple bow and a handful of roses, buds, and leaves from Wild Orchid. I think he's perfect for Easter, or just any springtime card. 
I hope you can join us for all the fun and excitement and prizes this morning beginning at 11am EST!! You can come hang out with me and Krafty Team at our LIVE ONLINE RELEASE PARTY!
All of the Krafty Krew and Guests listed below have lots of super FUN designs to show you featuring these awesome new stamps!

Who's Up for an ADVENTURE?!?!

Welcome back to Day THREE of our September Krafty Peeksat Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps!
Are you lovin' the new release so far? We are only half way through!! This is going to be a super sweet springtime release....you have no idea!  ;)
Today we are sharing TWO AMAZING new stamp sets by our incredible artist, Annie Rodrigue! I know a lot of you have been waiting for a new BACKGROUND stamp set....and here it is!


First is ADVENTURE MOM!
Such a fabulous stamp set featuring today's active momma with her new little bundle of joy! She's a busy gal!
And doesn't Adventure Mom go perfectly with the new FOREST BACKGROUND stamp set?!!
SO many of our fabulous stamp sets will pair up with this amazing set!
So; would you like to see what I created with these two AMAZING sets? 
Ok, we all know how much I love Annie stamps right?  Well, Adventure Mom is no different, I just ADORE her and her cute little cherub here.  I decided that I was going to try and work with black and white and sepia tones.  I used a bunch of E series copic markers, ok well... 7!!! Yeah I used 7 markers in all!  I did this to show everyone that you don't need a bunch of markers to achieve something neat and also to do the "no lines" coloring technique.  For the background, I used W0,1,3,5,7,9 and the colorless blender pen!  That's it!  Can you believe all of the different shades that you can make?  Super cool!!! The paper I used is from the Doodlebug 6x6" stack called "Happy Campers" and the tree dies are from Tim Holtz. 
Be sure to join us at the LIVE Online Release Party on Saturday morning at 11amm EST! We'll be checking out ALL SIX new clear stamp sets, sharing fabulous creations, giving away prizes and having tons of springtime fun!

Welcome to Day ONE of the March Release at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps!

Today we're going to knock your socks off with a super sweet set of lovely ladies from artist Emilie Goulet!  It's called TWEETIE PIES!!!
I'm super excited to share this one because.....some of you have seen it already! That's because it was the Super Secret Krafty Klub stamp set for January!!! So those who preordered it already have it in their inky little fingers!
I used DSP from Doodlebug "Happy Camper" 6x6 pad.  I just adore this piece of paper so I colored this sweet little girl to match the paper.  I made a gate fold card, which is something that I NEVER do, but I just love how it turned out! Of course I used my copics to color her up, ties a little bow with some bakers twine and used some enamel dots also from Doodlebug.  I hope you love it as much as I do!
