Hello! It's time for another Kraftin' Kimmie Saturday Challenge and this week's theme is FANTASY/MAGIC! So pull out all those magical stamp sets.....fairies, witches, dragons etc., and join in the fun!

For my card, I decided to use the sweet Magical Friends set. I just love how cute these little fairies are! To start, I colored my image with Copic Markers and fussy cut it out.  Then I created a little scene with some metal dies I had on hand.  Then I layered it all together and popped my image on top using foam tape.  I stamped my sentiment underneath and added a little page flag and button.  Pretty clean and simple, but oh so cute!!!

It's called MANATEE PALS!
This adorable new set contains several pudgy little manatees, an underwater background stamp, lots of fun little accessory stamps plus two wonderful sentiments!

For my card, I used the Kraftin' Kimmie inks to sponge an ocean background.  I stamped the ocean floor, masked it off, and sponged the ink on top.  Then I colored everything up using Copic Markers, cut out my little manatees and popped them onto my scene using some foam tape.  I stamped my sentiment out and added that as well as some little fish and bubbles.  To finish it off, I added some patterned paper to the background and there you have it!

CC Designs Summer Fun

Hello!  Hope you are having an amazing summer!  Today, I have two fun summer cards to share with you guys using some of my favorite CC Designs Sets! 

First up is Roberto's Rascals Beachies Stamp Set.  This set features three adorable images and a ton of sentiments.  I've chosen this sweet little boy for my card.  I started with some fun patterned papers, colored my image to match and cut him out on my Scan N Cut 2.  Then I layered my die cut pieces together and popped my image on top with some foam tape.  A simple sentiment and some enamel dots finish it off. 

here's a look at the inside:

For my second card, I used another fun summer set: Roberto's Rascals Ice Scream set.  Again, I used the sweet little boy.  Colored him up with copic markers, cut him out and popped him onto several layers of die cut patterned paper.  Then I stamped out my sentiment and added a few enamel dots.

 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
HAPPY CAMPERS!
stamp set by artist Cheryl Grant!

What says SUMMER more than camping?!  This super sweet stamp set is fabulously fun to use in create cards, scrapbook pages, tags, altered items and more!
