Kraftin' Kimmie; Party Time Sentiments!

Hello and welcome to all our Krafty Friends!  Are you ready for our MARCH Release at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps!?

We are ready to CELEBRATE with a huge PARTY this month! We've got three new stamp sets, two coordinating stencils, a fabulous new hybrid ink colour and new krafty dots!

Are YOU ready to party? We are kicking off the festivities with the perfect new stamp set from artist, MELISSA BAKER-NGUYEN!!  It's called... Party Time Sentiments!

Check out this versatile set of totally functional birthday wishes! It's a 4x6 stamp set with images, sentiments, accessories and trinkets! It's great for kids & adults, guys & girls! Use it as the focal point of your creations or in addition to coloured images....make cards, tags, gifts and lots more!

I've made two cards for you today.  First off, I've taken our fantastic "Party Time Banners Stencil" and inked up using a variety of fun and bright KKS inks.  Then I've put some Moonstone Glimmer Paste over all the inking to make it sparkle!  I added in lots of fun dots including some of our new "Party Time Dots".

For my second card I paired our new sentiment stamp set with our "Love Bugs" stamp set from last month's release.  Isn't it adorable?

 As you hop around the Krafty Team's blogs today you will see the Party Time Sentiments stamp set in action in combination with our all of our other awesome new March Kraftin' Kimmie products!

You will spot our newest addition to the Krafty Kolours Hybrid Ink line! It's a gorgeous new sunset yellow called... Morning Marigold! As always it will be available in full sized ink pads, mini cubes and ink refills!

We've got TWO brand new Krafty Stencils for this month's release to help accessorize your creations!  They are called Confetti Stencil and Party Time Banners Stencil!

And of course, we are adding the perfect new coordinating Krafty Dots for this release! The package includes 54 enamel dots in varying sizes in 6 different colours!  These ones are called Party Time Dots!

You'll get to see all of our brand new goodies in action over the next few days of March Krafty Peeks and everything will be released at our LIVE Online Release Party in the Krafty Friends Facebook group on Sunday, March 15th at 11am EST!

Fluttering Butterflies

Welcome to Inspire Me Monday!  I’m the host over on the Power Poppy Blog today.

Today we’re going to color up some clear stamp images and create a fun interactive card (my favorite!).

For today’s project, I used:

• stamps, ink and corresponding dies
• coloring utensils (Copics)
• a few pennies
• 110# white cardstock
• large & small circle dies
• small plastic spin & slide discs
• foam adhesive
• cloud stencil (optional)

Join me in my crafty space while I color in the 3 clear stamps set images including “Natural Beauties”, “Soothing Sympathy” and “Pure Prairie Spirit”.

 Click here to see it in HD.

Here’s a look at the final card.  AS said before, the yellow is so light it’s very hard to photograph.

And here you can see the shimmer pen I put all on the groovin’ butterflies…

 Thanks for stopping by!  I hope your week includes some crafty fun!

This week your hostess is Krafty Girl, Danielle and her challenge for you is ... TAG, You're IT!
 
For my tag card today I thought I’d make a see-through shaker tag element on my card.  I haven’t used the “My Gnomies” stamp set in awhile so I pulled it to use.

I coloured in all of my image today with Copic Markers.

Here is what the inside of the card looks like...

A Wreath of Glory

Happy Friday! Join the Power Poppy designers today on an adventure of coloring.

Today I’m sharing a card using the “Floribunda” stamp set.  I used my Copic air Brush to apply the center and then
I coloured in all of the surrounding flowers with Copics and added the finer details with Polychromos Pencils.

Now go and join the rest of the talented team on their blogs…
