I've used the new Mermaid Melody ink to sponge this background with this wavy stencil. I think it's the perfect blue for this kind of things.

The octopus and the whale are first coloured with my Copic markers, but I wasn't happy with the results, so I added some pencil above them. I'm esspecially happy with the whale now.

Hello! Larisa here sharing a fun card for this week's challenge. With summer and Father's Day just around the corner, I thought I would challenge you guys to use BLUE on your cards!

For my card, I combined the adorable Keep Swimming and Oceans of Love sets.

I chose some blue cardstock and die cut a wave background out of navy blue cardstock. Then I glued them together and added a sand bottom using kraft cardstock. I die cut lots of sea elements and added them to my scene. Then I stamped out my images, colored them up with Copics and fussy cut them out. I popped them on top using foam tape and finished it off with my sentiment in the corner.

Thanks so much for stopping by! I can't wait to see what you guys create!!!

Inspirational Wednesday - Electric Evelyn!!

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, Larisa is sharing a fabulous creation featuring the super fun clear stamp set,
ELECTRIC EVELYN!

Hello! My absolute favorite holiday is Halloween so it only made sense for me to share Electric Evelyn for my inspirational post. I absolutely LOVE this stamp set! She's so much fun to color up because you could use so many different colors for her skin. For my card, I decided to color her up green. I used Copic Colors YG21, YG25, and YG67. My favorite lime green combo. Once I had her all colored up, I fussy cut her out using my Scan N Cut 2. then I die cut several pieces of patterned paper and layered them all together. I really wanted this card to pop so I pulled out some striped ribbon from my stash and tied it into a bow. Then I popped my image on top with some foam tape and added a few faux black rhinestones. I just love how this turned out~ So creepy but cute!

Here's a look at the inside:

And guess what??!! Kimmie has put the

ELECTRIC EVELYN stamp set on SALE!

Inspirational Wednesday - Dino-Mite Pals!

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, Mindy is sharing a fabulous creation featuring the super fun clear stamp set,
DINO-MITE PALS!

Hey everyone ! Mindy here and I'm back again today with some more inspiration from Kraftin Kimmie Stamps!

Today's card is shining a spotlight on the Dinomite Pals set. I'm going to start off with my background. I'm using a piece of Bristol Smooth cardstock and ink blending the colors Spiced Marmalade and Squeezed Lemonade Distress Oxide inks. Then splattering with water and dabbing up with a paper towel.

Next, I die cut some mountains using the Kingdom Trio die and some grass from the Land Borders die.

I layer up my panel and add to an A2 sized cardbase.

For my image, I'm using the amazing Dinomite Pals stamp set. I stamp in the NEW Wicked Black ink onto Neenah white cardstock and color with my copic markers. This ink is fabulous as it's great for copic markers, watercoloring and pencils. I tend to be heavy handed when coloring with copics and this Wicked Black stood up to the test! Then I fussy cut my image out and add to my card with foam squares.

I hope this inspires you with YOUR Dinomite stamp set and if you don't have it yet, you can head over to the website to grab it.

Inspirational Wednesday - Made With Love!

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, Alexis is sharing a fabulous creation featuring the super fun clear stamp set,
MADE WITH LOVE!

Most of you who know me know that the kitchen is my 2nd happy place after my krafty area that is.

I feel in love with this set even before I had seen it. Kim had mentioned she was going to have Cheryl do up a baking kids set. Once I heard that I was totally sold!

The first card is a new one I made up for this inspiration post. I used copics on my image, but in my opinion the best part is the icing on the cupcakes! I used liquid applique with some glitter and then heated it to make it look like realistic icing! Super fun!

The second image is one you have probably seen before as we coloured the boy in a colour along awhile back. I think this is a great way to showcase the set as I do generally include tags on any baked goods I send to family/friends.

We've also got a fun sketch for your inspiration for the rest of April! 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!

And guess what??!! Kimmie has put the

MADE WITH LOVE stamp set on SALE!
