Krafty Girl Rosie is hosting the mid-inspiration post today!

I chose birthday for my inspirational card today! 

I was in the mood to colour a bigger stamp when making this one, and I was drawn to Birthday Lulu and her big cupcake! 

I also was inspired by Kendra’s card challenge 13- Sketch 4.

It was so nice to spend some time with my Copics. 

Every month we post a brand new challenge with two themes to choose from, and a mid month inspiration post with even more creative ideas! You are welcome to enter as many times as you like.

I wanted to create a little scene for today’s card. 

I started by making a pink swan (got to admit it looks more like a flamingo without legs), then I coloured the lily pads and bull rush in some neutral colours.

I added a moon behind my swan and cut out a banner and sentiment.

My design was inspired by Kendra’s card challenge 13- Sketch 3! 

I hope you enjoy my little night scene featuring You-re Swanderful! 

PS. You can see everything up close in the Live Release Replay on Facebook!!

Kraftin Kimmie January Release: So Punny 2

 Today is our final day of Krafty Peeks for the January Release 

 at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps!

We are so excited to share a fabulous new set 

by artist Michelle Houghton

 called...

So Punny 2!

These cute foodie images are going to be awesome to use on your cards and scrapbook pages! But then add the adorably cute eyes and a punny sentiment for even more fun! If you love this set, be sure to check out the original So Punny in the shop for even more fun!

Check out So Punny 2 in so many amazing creations today as you hop around the Krafty Team's blogs!  You'll also see our beautiful new stencils, Falling Hearts along the way! 

I love these easy to colour stamps. Today's project features the Peanut Butter and Jam jars. 

I layered my elements based on the sketch 2 from Kendra's card challenge. 

I inked up 1 layer of the falling hearts stencil for a more simple pattern, as this card was already a little busy. I cannot wait to make more valentines/ galentines/ palentines cards! 

Everything will be released after our LIVE Online Release Party TODAY!  All the fun takes place in the Krafty Friends facebook group beginning at 2 pm ET!  See you there!

January Kraftin Kimmie Stamps Release: You're Swanderful!

January Krafty Peeks... Day TWO! You're Swan-derful! Sat Jan 20 @ 7 am EST

    Welcome back to Day TWO of our January Krafty Peeks!

Are you excited about what you've seen so far!?  Are you ready for more?

I hope your answer was yes because we've got more fabulous fun for you today!

The stamp set we are 'peeking' for you today is from 

artist Neda Sadreddin

 and it's called.....

 You're Swan-derful! 

These sweet swans and their accessories are going to be perfect for so many occasions! Mother's Day, Anniversary, Valentines or a special, swan-derful friend! 

 Check out  You're Swan-derful and our new stencil in so many awesome creations today as you hop around the Krafty Team's blogs!  

I decided to add some drama to this stamp release, with a black swan! 

It was so much fun colouring her up in dark blue/ black combo to match the pattern paper. 

Of course she is a queen so she needed a crown, which is also part of this stamp set! 

My project was made using sketch 1 from Kendra's card challenge! 

I'm going to be trying to make a whole bunch of cards with the sketches for my inspiration the next 1-2 months. 

I hope you love this little drama queen! 

You'll see more of our January goodies all weekend, and then everything will be released after our LIVE Online Release Party on SUNDAY at 2 pm ET in the Krafty Friends facebook group!  

For now, check out all the fantastic goodness in today's hop!

See you tomorrow!

January Stamp of the month: I Woof You!

  We are so excited to share our newest 

Stamp Of The Month -

I Woof You!

This will be FREE with a $75 or more purchase at the

 Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps Shop (before taxes and shipping)

during the month of January!!

*while supplies last

Here is some inspiration from our Design Team using the adorable I Woof You stamp set!

This stamp set warms up my heart! My username on social media use to be Candihearts a nickname given to me by my friends.

I started with repeat stamping my background with the cute Candihearts in Aqua Adventure, Precious Pink, Raspberry Rose and Yummy Yellow.

I then coloured up the cute little pupper, and curved the sentiment! 

We hope you're as excited as we are about the 

January Stamp Of The Month - I Woof You!!

Happy Krafting!
