May Mid Month Challenge Inspiration!

  

Good morning, krafty friends!

Welcome to our Mid Month Inspiration post for our May challenges! Get ready to have some fun getting krafty this month!  If you haven't had a chance to play along yet, you still have a couple of weeks!

The themed challenge for May is The Colour Orange and/or Flowers or Foliage!

We also host a monthly Christmas card challenge (for those who like to get cards made early!) Our theme this month is Winter Activities +/- Sketch.

And as always we have the Anything but a card challenge (aka as the Scrappy Challenge) 

Our Dream Team has been busy busting out some beautiful floral and foliage cards to inspire you!

Heather has this sunny and beautiful card featuring our previous new release stencil Pretty Posies. I love her colour palette! 

 Dalis also used our new stencil from last release! I love her large sentiment and how it contrasts nicely with the soft oranges! 

  I can always tell when Sasha submits a card without even looking at the name! She is the queen of a classic monotone look.

She combined the Pretty Posies stencil with our beautiful Fairies and Furries Stamp Set

Melanie has created a lovely scene card using the Orange and Foliage prompts for our challenge! 

She used the Underwater Scenery Stencil and Shell-o Stamp Set!

You can catch the replay of last Thursday's Throwback Video to watch her create this stunning card!

Lastly, we have this fun Folio created by Lindsy using our new stencil Fancy Feathers! How much fun is this! I love the sparkly soft look with the feather stencil in the background! Great inspiration for our Scrappy Challenge! 

We hope you join us at 11 am EST for our new release! We just love colouring up these tropical birds and we hope you will have fun as well! They are perfect for a Summer bash! 

We hope you have a great Krafty Weekend!

May Challenges and Inspiration!

  Good morning, krafty friends!

We are posting all of our May Challenges today so get ready to have some fun getting krafty this month!  I hope the sunshine and longer days in May help you get your Kraftin Mojo On! I know it sure has helped me!

The themed challenge for May is Florals/ Folliage, and/or the colour Orange!  Here are some samples from our talented DT members using one or both prompts! 

I openly squealed when I saw this beautiful colourful project from the lovely Danielle! I love how she used the Love Bugs stamp set, and the new Pretty Posies Layering Stencil with different coloured paste. 

I don't know if you heard the exciting news, but we have a new 

DT member Lindsy! 

Her card is rocking the Floral Fun stamp set where she added a touch of glitter. I also love how she used the Perfect Posies for a subtle touch! 

Patti has a vibrant card also using the Floral Fun. Her background is made with a gel plate print of Stained glass stencil. She also used the sketch for this month!

For our Christmas challenge we would like to see projects featuring Winter Activities and/or use this month's sketch! 

Please interpret the sketch however sparks your creativity! Patti used the sketch with stamps as above, and kept it more simple with pattern paper as below! 

She used the Orange from the May challenge, and added the most Oiler inspired Hockey player from the Have An Ice Day stamp set! 

As always we also have our Scrappy Challenge (which is anything but a card) 

Luggage tag mix media wooden tag created in this past Throwback Thursday! Using Perfect Adventures. 

Dont forget that Kimmy will be sharing the new super secret stamp set today! all will be revealed at 10 am EST in our Kraftin Kimmie Friends Facebook Group! after the reveal we will have a celebration this weekend for International Scrapbook Day with some free classes! 

We hope you will join us this weekend as we celebrate our new release, and that you feel inspired to post in our Facebook group your projects! 

Happy Kraftin!
