Mid month Challenge Inspiration Post, July Release Recap, and Reading is lit release!

 Good morning, krafty friends!

I cannot believe it's the middle of the month already! We have quite a few exciting things going on this month! 

Starting with a reminder that you have just a few weeks to join us in our monthly challenges as a reminder the themed challenges for August are make a Children's card (think birthday, congrats, back to school, encouragment etc), and the second theme is 3 or more colours! 

The Christmas challenge is Snow men/ buddies! 
As always you can participate in the Anything but a card challenge (think bookmarks, ATC, Tags, Journals, calanders etc). Feel free to just use one challenge prompt or combine them!  

For some creative inspiration check out some of our DT girls projects!

First up we have a funky super fun card by artist Melanie!

She used the Dino Mite stamp set, Nautical Netting stencil, and our gorgeous Soft Sage ink.

Next up we have a bright and summery look from Dalis featuring Sum Sum Summertime (note this stamps set is not in stock at the moment but we do have another sand castle in the Good Times and Tan Lines stamp set)

Next up Patti gives us a nautical card using Ahoy Sailor stamp set. Lulu looks so cute in some retro nautical colours! 

And one more from Danielle featuring an image from the Zoodles stamp set. 

She used the Lucious Leaves stencil with Soft Sage and Fresh Fields hybrid inks. Soft Sage is the ink of the month special. 

Today we are celebrating a new stamp set Reading is lit and Bookshelves laying stencil. A few of the krafty girls will be hopping on live in the Facebook group showcasing this special release. Both the stencil and stamp set has limited numbers in stock, and once they are gone they are gone! Grab yours now while supplies last! 

We are also recaping July's release with some new projects! 

First we had two new stamp sets Light it up, and Gopher it . We also have the new stencil Leafy Geo. Here are some samples featuring these new products.

Lastly if you haven't heard we are having a fall virtual retreat next month! 

Dont forget to pre-order is open now, and Kim will start sending out the kits ASAP. Get yours before the sell out. 

We are super excited for this retreat and would love to have you join us!

Hope everyone has a fabulous rest of August. Happy Krafting! 

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!

Dalis (AKA Stamprgrl) got her groovy vintage vibes with this adorable card perfect for Easter! I love the added burlap and strings for an eclectic look!

Melanie mixed and matched the month long challenge with the Christmas Challenge this month. I love the Ethereal feel of her watercolouring! 

Sasha grunged up her background to add more vintage feel for this wonderful birthday card! I love her monochromatic cards! 

Alexis got her wonderfully perfect paper layers on! I love the little added birthday hat!
