I used my top note die for my card shape and pulled out Nicole's Hip, Hip Hooray! set.  I just love these balloons!  I paired them with some Echo Park Here & Now papers that I got from KKS, and added some ribbon and twine.  I kept it pretty simple as I didn't have a lot of room left on my card!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

I pulled out Nicole's new Hip, Hip, Hooray set and decided to step out of my box a little.  I'm not really a technique person - they scare me quite honestly!  But I've been dying to try the chalkboard technique and I figured this would be a great set to try it with.  I decided to make a whole set of cards.  I used the same supplies and layout for all 3 cards.

I pulled out my black cardstock and Versamark, white embossing powder, white chalk ink, and my prismacolour pencils.  I used the Doodlebug 6x6 Fruit Stand paper pad and matching cardstocks from my stash.  I die cut some scallop borders and added some buttons and twine.

They were actually super fun and pretty fast to make!  I forgot how much fun it is to heat emboss!

Ack!!  Isn't this little cutie adorable?  I have been a RAM fan for quite a while and am so super EXCITED that she's joining KKS as an artist!  I've used Dance for Joy and paired it with some Echo Park Bundle of Joy (girl) papers.  The layout is from the Deconstructed Sketch and I've added some rose trim and pearls for embellishment.  There's also some Sakura Stardust pen all over her ribbon, but I'm not sure if you can see it well in the picture.

Krafty Peeks - Carnival Fun!

Welcome back to day two of our JUNE Kraftin' Kimmie Peeks! Today we are excited to share a supah cute new set by artist Cheryl Alger just in time for summer adventures with the kiddos.  This one is called.......CARNIVAL FUN!!

All the Krafty Girls listed below have lots of super FUN designs to show you, so be sure to hop over to each of them! And while you're there, be sure to leave a comment because we are giving away one of EACH of the new sets!!!

I used this adorable Lucas image from the set and coloured him up in bright colours to match the Doodlebug Take Note papers that I wanted to use.  I used the "out of the box" technique for the balloons and an older sweet Sunday sketch layout.  With all that colour and pattern going on, I kept it simple with just a little bit of twine and a button for embellishment, and grounded everything in black so that it wouldn't appear day-glo!

I coated the balloons with my Sakura Clear Glaze pen so they'd appear smooth and shiny!

Come on back tomorrow to check out MORE new summery stamps we have to share with you! And ALL the new stamps will be available on Saturday night at the KKStamps Shop!

Krafty Peeks - Wine Me, Dine Me!

We are kicking off the *New* JUNE Kraftin’ Kimmie Stamps previews today and we're SO excited to share these new stamps with you from artist, Nicole Aspinall!!! Today we’d like to introduce you to these PARTYTIME image sets ….Hip, Hip Hoory! and Wine Me, Dine Me!

After the success of our awesome Trinket stamps, we're thrilled to share these fun image stamps we've designed!! You can create either clean and simple cards with them or much more elaborate designs!  And you'll see this in the amazing samples today!

We have lots of inspiration from the Krafty Girls, so hop around....and be sure to comment at each and every stop because one lucky stamper is going to WIN BOTH of the new PARTYTIME sets!!! {All of this week's winners will be announced at the online party on Saturday night!}

I've used the new Wine Me, Dine me set and chosen this wine themed image.  I happen to be a big wine lover.  I also happen to be giving my children's teachers gift cards for the liquor store for end of year gifts.  So this card and set is timely!  I stamped the image on Kraft paper and coloured it with my copics.  I paired it with some Echo Park Times & Seasons papers - I thought the pattern with the years was perfect!  The layout is from an older sweet Sunday sketch challenge.

OH YES!! We are having another amazing ONLINE RELEASE PARTY!!! It's happening this SATURDAY evening at our Facebook fan page....and you can get ALL the details HERE!!! ALL the new stamps we're sharing over the next few days will be released on SATURDAY!
