Ya Jelly?

 I know I am super jelly of how adorable this jellyfish stamp is!

Ya Jelly Stamp set was created by our very own Sandy! Check out this adorable card Sandy made using the Ya Jelly stamp set. She colored in the image using Copic Markers and then did this incredible oxide background with the Water Mandala Stencil. To finish off she used some of the adorable Sweet Mermaid Sweet Sequins.

Well I’m off to fix another cup of coffee so I can make it through cooking dinner! Toodles! 

MerMay Mondays!

 Try saying that 5 times fast! 

To continue celebrating MerMay we thought it would be fun to showcase some of our awesome design team members projects using the new You are Magical stamp set. I can’t wait to show you how adaptable this stamp set is. These projects are so incredibly different that your mind is going to be blown!

To kick off our first week of MerMay Mondays I wanted to showcase two stunning cards made by Sandy and Meghan. I felt this truly showed how versatile this stamp set truly can be.

Hope everyone had a MerMayzing Monday! Toodles!

Winter is coming

Welcome to Day ONE of our November Krafty Peeks at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps! 

This is our FINAL stamp release for 2017 at KKS, and we've got FIVE fantastic new sets for you!
This month we've got a mixture of holiday, winter and....COFFEE! Because.... well, winter is coming! 

Today we have a fun winter wonderland stamp set by artist Annie Rodrigue and it's called WINTER WHITNEY!

This gorgeous clear stamp set features a funny main image featuring a snow shoveller with her freshly made snow-cat! The set also comes with three awesome sentiments!

...and.... here's my creation!  I decided to go with a whimsical color pallet.  I mean, the pinks and blues and lime splashed in there, and who can color up this fun girl without some purple as well?!?!?!  I'm not gunna lie, I sorta want pink hair too! Maybe if my hair ever gets this long again I'll do something crazy like that. 

Oh, and P.S., this card is an easel card! Gasp!

I use the adorable set called "Shake it Up - Polar Bears" and some of the sequins I mix. The paper is from Echo Park and the ribbon is from SU! I also used two of my distress inks, the antique linen and the broken china, to add some color to the Kraft card stock.  I hope you love it!

Well we all know that Saturdays equal new challenges over at Kraftin Kimmie Stamps... this one isn't any different! DUHHHhhhhh!!!! hehehehe As I'm sure you can guess from the title of this post the challenge this time is "Sequins!" So here's the details.... use sequins yo! No, really, that's it.... you can use them however you want, be they real, or drawn or implied.... whatever's clever!

Here's what I did..... I happened to do a live color along in the Kraftin Kimmie Friends FB group last week, and I wan't sure what to do with the image once i colored it... so I made it into a shaker card and used Sequins as the "shaker" part...... check it out.....

I used some DSP from like eons ago, and it's got velvet swirls on it.... super cool!  The ribbons are again from my friend Leah in Canada! The flowers are all Wild Orchid Crafts and the sequins are from Cartwright.  The image I used is Carly Cupcakes from Kraftin Kimmie Stamps and I just stinking adore her!  

Ok... so the fine print.... here ya go: We always enjoy your creations so be sure to submit them so you can have a chance to WIN a $20 gift card to the Shop!! Show us your stuff!!

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 Angie, Hoppy 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!!!! 

Kraft Peeks Day 2!

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

We've got a super sweet stamp set to share with you today! This one is from artist Becky Pearce and it's called DARLING DRAGONS!

These chubby little dragons are ready for some magical creations! The set comes with several main images, lots of cute accessory stamps and four fabby sentiment stamps for a total of FIFTEEN stamps in the set!

You'll see the new stamps in action and featured in today's blog hop with the Krafty Krew and Guest!! Their links are below and be sure to leave some love at each stop ecause one lucky stamper from all the comments this week is going to WIN a gift voucher to go shoppin'! 

I chose to make a shaker card today!  I mean, these adorable little dragons needed something fun to play in right?  Why not a bunch of sparkly sequins?!?!?!  The rainbow polka dotted paper is from doodlebug "Take note" 6x6 paper pad, and the sequins are just a mix I made from my extensive collection of sequins! I used 2 pieces of acitate to put that little orange dragon and all of his sequins between and create the "shaker."
