This week the theme is: 
AT THE BEACH!

Hello! Larisa here!  Now that summer is in full swing, I thought I would challenge you all to create something beachy!! 

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. 

I can't wait to see what you guys create!  Be sure to submit your krafty design for your chance to WIN!  You have until Friday, July 6th to enter this challenge!  Keep in mind, all entries are welcome but you must use a

 Kraftin' Kimmie Stamp in order to win.

Each Saturday we post a new challenge and you can enter as many times as you like!!!  And each submission during the month will enter you into the monthly prize which will be....

a $40 gift voucher to spend in the krafty shop!!!

What do you think?  Worth playin' for?  ;)

We've also got a fun sketch for your inspiration for July!  You don't have to use it but if you need a little extra kickstart in your mojo, feel free to use it any time!

The random winner for the month of June is....
CHRIS DAYTON!

This week Krafty Girl, Delphine is sharing a fabulous creation featuring the super fun clear stamp set,
BEACH BLANKET BINGO!

Hello everyone! Today I'm sharing a card featuring one of the super cute images from the BEACH BLANKET BINGO stamp set! I chose to use the sweet cat and stamped her in our Wicked Black ink. I coloured her in Copics and did some fussy cutting. I wanted to create a background for her using DPs, so I picked a combination of BoBunny DPs and a piece of sand kraft which I tore. 

And guess what??!!  Kimmie has put the 

BEACH BLANKET BINGO stamp set on SALE!

Sabrina here for today's challenge! I have been playing with the Krafty Kolours inks and the adorable Oceans of Love stamp set!

I made a sponged background with Mermaid Meloday and Lovely Lagoon and added some Liquid applique for the foam of the waves! For the shape of the waves I just used the other side of the paper from a cloud die cut.

I colored up the Dolphin with RV69, 66, 55, 63 and the Turtle with Y38, 35, 21 and some YR04 in the shell.

For the sentiment I used WOW opague white embossing powder, added some enamel dots and all done :)

Inspirational Wednesday - Darling Dragons!

Good morning, krafty friends!
And welcome to an Inspirational Wednesday post!

Each week one of our amazing design team members will be here to inspire you to get creative with your krafty stamps!

This week Krafty Girl, Melanie is sharing a fabulous creation featuring the super fun clear stamp set,
DARLING DRAGONS!


Hey there Krafty friends! Happy Wednesday. :)  Today
I'm sharing a card featuring the DARLING DRAGONS stamp set and our amazing new KRAFTY KOLOURS INKS! Some of you may have seen this card during a live video from Kimmie's house on the day we launched the inks. I stamped the dragon on watercolour paper in our Wicked Black ink and used a combination of Purple Pansy, Lovely Lagoon, Mermaid Melody and Raspberry Rose reinkers to watercolour the background (if you don't have the reinkers, you can easily use the pads to watercolour by swiping them across a non-stick craft mat, or on an acrylic block). I also splattered a little Wicked Black reinker on the background to add texture. The adorable little dragon was coloured with my Koi watercolour paints. I love that our inks are compatible with a variety of mediums from paints, to markers to pencils! The sentiment is also from the Darling Dragons set...and of course was stamped in Wicked Black Ink!

And guess what??!!  Kimmie has put the 

DARLING DRAONGS stamp set on SALE!

Be sure to scoop it up today at a SPECIAL price!

Happy kraftin'!

We want you all to play along and we love to see you join in the krafty fun and share your creations! 

This week it's all about.....MERMAIDS!

Jessie here with this weeks challenge for you all. I love colouring mermaids, tails are always so fun and they can be any colour your little heart desires! I coloured up Treena Twinkles for today's card. Remember once these Annie images are gone they are retired, so if you don't have her yet you should pick her up!  

I coloured her up with my copic markers, and then created a splashy watercolour background for her to sit on, after I fussy cut her out! I love created these cards where the image has tons of the detail and the backgrounds and loose and suggestive of what it is suppose to be. 

Pull out your markers, and your mermaid stamps and play along!

Submit your krafty design for your chance to WIN!  You have until Friday, June 8th to enter this challenge!  Keep in mind, all entries are welcome but you must use a
