Kraftin' Kimmie Saturday Challenge: At the Beach

Hello!  It's Saturday and that means it's time for another fun Krafty Challenge at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps!

This week the theme is:
AT THE BEACH!
 For my card, I chose this sweet little cutie from the You're Sun-sational Stamp Set.  I colored him up using my Copic markers and fussy cut him out.  Then I used a die from my stash to create this sunshine background, added a blue sky, a palm tree, and some clouds.  I popped my image on top with some foam tape and stamped my sentiment on a banner strip.  Some punched flags finish it off.

Another Kraftin' Kimmie Rubber Rerelease!!!

Since you enjoyed last weekend's rerelease of the World of Wonder stamp set at Kraftin' Kimme Stamps, we decided it's time for another Rubber Rerelease!!...

As you know, Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps has been going strong for 8.5 years and we have produced hundreds of amazing stamp sets but we can't keep them all in stock forever! So sometimes we have to retire them....but once in a while, it's super fun to bring back an older stamp set in red rubber!!
We are SO excited to be bringing back the adorable
TOTALLY TUBULAR stamp set by artist Cheryl Grant!
 

 

This super sweet summer stamp set is fabulously fun to use to create cards, scrapbook pages, tags, altered items and more!

TOTALLY TUBULAR includes three adorable main images featuring those kiddos.....Lulu, Lucas and Lexi.....plus SIX summer sentiments! And this set comes in high quality unmounted PRETRIMMED natural red rubber for beautiful crisp images! You can use these stamps with double sided tape and an acrylic block OR we also carry EZmount foam sheets if you prefer to mount your rubber with that little bit of extra cushion!

 

For my card, I kept things pretty simple.  I found some cute beach paper, colored my image to match and fussy cut it out.  Then I popped it on top of some striped paper, added some punched flags, and stamped out my sentiment at the bottom.  Some scattered enamel dots finish it off.  Easy-peasy!

I'm featuring SASSY SOPHIE!

 

 

For my card, I found some vintage papers and colored up my image to match.  Then I fussy cut it out and started layering my papers together.  I really wanted the image to pop so I chose a black and white background with only a couple of colorful patterned papers.  For the most part, it's a pretty clean and simple card, but I just love how it turned out!
