Inspirational Wednesday - Valiant Vikings!

           Hello Krafty Friends!

It's INSPIRATIONAL WEDNESDAY,

the day we provide you with a bit of extra krafty inspiration

to help you get creative with your krafty stamps!

 

Hi everyone, It's Krafty girl Heather here and this week we are featuring the fabulous Valiant Vikings stamp set, which you'll find on sale at 40% off all week!

I used the girl image from this adorable set and coloured her with Copics using the E70's for the browns and R80's for the pinks to match the paper I chose.  The paper only needed some gold splatter added. I coloured up some chipboard from the shop with the same Copics and then glittered it up with gold glimmer .  The chipboard is such an awesome addition to the stamp set. 

 

Add Valiant Vikings to your cart while it's 40% off and let's see what you have made.  Use it for one of the monthly challenges and win some Krafty cash.

Inspirational Wednesday : Polar pals

 Hello Krafty Friends!

It is INSPIRATIONAL WEDNESDAY!

the day we provide you with a bit of extra krafty inspiration to help you get creative with your krafty stamps!

Krafty girl Anna here! 

Today I have decided to make a special Christmas card 

with the lovely clearstamps set 

designed by Emilie Goulet called polar pals .

This set can actually be used for various occasions ,

and besides this super cool  polar bear and penguins 

it also has a fun racoon and some lovely sentiments .

Anyway I love to make Christmas cards ,

not only in November but during the whole year :) 

as  I do not like to  make them in a rush just before Christmas.

Did you know that at Kraftin Kimmie's group on facebook 

 we have a weekly Christmas challenge folder with a theme?

 

A special shaped card, I think I will add a little holder on the back so that it can be hung / attached to the wall or a door as decoration too.

I have stamped the stamp with wicked black ink onto Copic paper 

( Perfect Colouring Paper ), 

the poinsetta was coloured withsome 

 whimsical wisteria ink and salty sea ink and water * .

* The ink was put on my Tim Holtz glass mat 

and after having sprayed some water onto the ink

 I have pushed the poinsetta 

cutted out of watercolour paper on top.

 Copic colours;

polar bear and penguins :

N 0, N 1, N 3, N 6

YR 61, YR 65

background :

BG 70, BG 72, 

V 0000, V 000, V 01, V 12, V 15, V 17, BV 08

This background was inspired by a lovely blogpost of Faye..

it is easy to do and I love the effect.

The dies I have used are from 

Studiolight ( cardshape )

, Joy ( ovals )

, Marianne Design ( poinsetta )

,I-crafters ( alphabet ) , 

MFT ( letter tags ) .

The designpapers and the fabric flower with strass are from Action .

The plain papers are from Avec.

If you do not have this fab stampset called 

 polar pals 

 it is now the right time to grab it! 

They are on sale at 40% off this week

visit the Kraftin' Kimmie Stamp Shop!

Happy Kraftin!

Challenge #543 Use A Sketch!

 

Good morning and welcome to another

fabulous and fun Saturday Challenge

at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps !

Are you ready for another fun and krafty challenge to inspire you and help get your creative juices flowing?

We've got some fabulous ideas for you 

and can't wait to see what you create!

This week, krafty girl Karla is your hostess and her challenge theme for you is:

....Use A Sketch! - you get to choose the sketch!

Hello friends! 

 It's Karla here today with a fun challenge for you! I love starting with a sketch - I always find it takes me in different directions than I would have gone if I just sat down with my supplies. For today's card, I'm using the August Kraftin' Kimmie Sketch you can see below and I used  fun backgrounds I created with Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps Stencils.  

I coloured up the adorable NEW Be A Mermaid Stamps with Copic Markers and popped them up on foam dots over the background. 

You can see the Summer Sunbeams Stencil peeking out from the first layer, which I created with Dina Wakley Gloss Sprays and then embossed one of the sweet sentiments from the Be A Mermaid. (You can check out fun Sunbeam Stencil techniques in this video HERE!) Next I layered a watercoloured background that I created in this video HERE with the Nautical Netting Stencil and Distress Oxide Sprays. For the third layer I added part of a background created with the She Sells Seashells Stencil (try saying that 5 x's fast!) and Kraftin' Kimmie Inks. And for the bottom layer I took an inky background I had in colours that matched and stamped seashells from the Be A Mermaid Stamp Set with Sandy Shores Ink. I added in some pretty NEW Summer Krafty Dots and my card is finished!

Each and every Saturday we post a brand new challenge for the week and you are welcome to enter as many times as you like.
