We've got some super exciting NEWS to share with you today!

You may have heard that we've been working on something top secret for the last few months and ...it's FINALLY time that we can share it with everyone!!!

Today we are introducing you to.....
Krafty Kolours Inks by Kraftin’ Kimmie Stamps!


We are thrilled to introduce a brand new product to the Kraftin’ Kimmie Stamps line…..KRAFTY KOLOURS INKS!

These new inks are a Hybrid ink that combines the best of both dye ink and pigment ink!
- These beauties are acid free, archival and non-fading!
- This ink dries almost instantly on paper and non-porous surfaces and requires a heat set on glossy surfaces and fabric
- They have a raised felt pad that let you stamp any size stamp!
- They give a crisp, bright, non-bleeding impression!
- They come in full sized pads, mini cubes and ink refills!
With these inks you can ink directly, sponge, stencil, watercolour, you can do all sorts of techniques with them AND most exciting….the Krafty Kolours Inks are safe to use with pencils AND alcohol based markers!!
 

To showcase these inks, I did a cloud tutorial that will be posted on the Kraftin Kimmie YouTube Channel later today.  I just love how versatile the inks are!  You can use them for so many things!!

For my card below, I used the Darling Dragons set to create a fun little scene.

To create my card, I chose some farm themed patterned papers, colored my images to match and then cut them out using my Scan N Cut 2.  Then I die cut a farm background using a die I had in my stash and pieced it all together.  Then I popped my little farm animals on top using foam tape.  A fun little sentiment finishes it off.

Kraftin Kimmie April Release Peek #3

 

It's Day #3 of the Kraftin Kimmie April Release Peeks! 

Today we are sharing a very special stamp set!
Unfortunately, a lot of us have been touched by a severe illness of some kind. And while it's difficult to know what to do during those times to help someone dealing with these situations, there's one thing we can do as crafters and that's send an uplifting an encouraging creation!

We are thrilled to introduce a beautiful scripture sentiment set by artist Melissa Baker-Nguyen called ENDURING LOVE!
This gorgeous set features seven lovely scripture verses in a combination of sweet fonts and will look beautiful as the focal point of your card or as an addition to an image.
We are pleased to say that a portion of the sales from this stamp set will be donated to the Canadian Cancer Society.

For my card, I decided to create a little night-time scene using die cuts.  I stamped my image on navy cardstock and heat embossed it with white fine detail embossing powder.  Then I layered on some die cut trees and rolling hills.  A big moon and stars finish it off.   

here's a look at the inside:

 For my card, I used the very spring-like Hoppy Friends set.  I created a background with various dies and inked them up to create more dimension.  Then I used some distress inks and a cloud stencil to create the background.  My bunny was already colored up from my color along video a few weeks ago so I popped him on top with some foam tape and stamped my sentiment in the corner.  Then I added a blue border to the whole thing and glued it to my card base.
