I'm sharing another project I created with the Air Mail set!

This month our challenge themes for you are:

Drinks/Fruits/Veggies and/or Farm

I kept the off cut strip from the border edge and adhered along the bottom of the card front.

So today we have an adorable new Halloween stamp set for you by artist Sabrina van Vloten called

SWEET & SPOOKY!

AND check out this scrumptious new coordinating stencil!

It's called HERE FOR THE CANDY!!!

It's a set of TWO layering stencils to create this colourful and delicious background! 

I combined Lovely Lagoon and Designer Denim Hybrid inks on the first layer of the stencil and Pumpkin Patch and Pink Pizazz on the second layer.

The super cute ghosts are coloured with Copic markers and then layered over the edge of the stenciled card front with foam adhesive. I stamped the butterfly spiderwebs & sentiment with Wicked Black hybrid ink. The white butterflies are stamped with white pigment ink.

Happy hoppin' and see YOU tomorrow for our final day of awesome goodies!

from artist Neda Sadreddin called 
Air Mail!

Such cute and fluffy little characters in the sky!!

The Out of This World stencil is truly out of this world when used with Solar Paste and Lunar Paste! I combined Golden Hour Solar paste and Bee Sting Lunar paste on black card stock. Prior to stenciling the card stock I sprayed it with Distress Spritz in Twisted Citron and Wilted Violet.

I Copic coloured the images and popped them up on an inked galaxy background which I matted on brushed gold card stock.

Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps August Krafty Peeks! Day ONE...S'more Fun!

Who's ready for some brand NEW Krafty Goodies?

It's time to bring you NEW stamp sets and layering stencils
from Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps!

In case you haven't heard, we have moved the releases to every other month but the same number of wonderful products!

So we will be sharing FOUR new stamp sets (including an Autumn Krafty Komeback) and TWO new sets of stencils over the course of this week!

Today we are SO excited to kick things off with a sweet and toasty stamp set from artist Neda Sadreddin called S'MORE FUN!!  

I Copic coloured the image, die cut with my Brother Scan 'n Cut and layered with foam adhesive over the die cut card front. The card front is comprised of 3 layers, the inked layer is a scrap piece of white card stock I applied "leftover" ink to. I just continued to ink the card stock with my ink blending brush until I wasn't able to get any more colour off the brush. 

I used the Mama Elephant Into The Woods Die set to cut the forest background, on layer cut from kraft card stock and the top layer cut from 49 & Market Vintage Artistry Ledger paper. I layered some elements from the Nature Study Mushroom and Foliage Laser Cut Elements within the die cuts and "grounded" our adventuring girl on a Laser Cut Element branch. 

As you head out on today's Krafty Hop you'll get to enjoy lots of amazing creations from our Krafty Team featuring S'MORE FUN and our totally unique new OUT OF THIS WORLD stencil in combination with some of our other incredible products such as our Krafty Kolours Hybrid Inks!

I was able to demo the awesome Altenew Dreamy Daylilies 3D Embossing Folder & Simple Colouring Stencil during a recent live for Scrap Shotz and used the bright colours from the Altenew July Inspiration Challenge!

I hot foiled the sentiment with the Altenew Essential Sentiments Hot Foil Plate and die cut with the coordinating die, then inked with Tangerine Dream Fresh Dye Ink.

Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps July Skrappy Challenge!

 

 Good morning krafty friends! 

It's JULY, and that means it's time for a brand new

SKRAPPY CHALLENGE

with Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps!

 The theme of course is ANYTHING BUT A CARD!

For this challenge you can make anything that strikes your fancy....except a card!
So design a new scrapbook page, bookmark, tag, altered item, planner page, art journal, ATC cards...whatever you like!

Just make sure to include some Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps products and make sure it's a new creation!  

I stamped images from Gear Up to colour with the 4 Copic grey colour families and die cut with a Pinkfresh tag die to create a set of swatches featuring grey.

I labelled each image with the marker colours I used for the image.

I also included a swatch showing how to add shading/shadows with just one grey marker and one colour of marker.

I'll keep this swatch tag with my Copic makers for future reference! As the Gear Up set was used for a Kolour Along it'S on SALE at 40% off right NOW.
