Challenge #492 - Shabby Chic!

Hello and welcome to our very first
Saturday Challenge of 2019!
Are you ready for some krafty fun?
We can't wait for you to play along and share your amazing krafty kreations!

This week your challenge theme is....
SHABBY CHIC!

Hi Friends!
I hope you all had a wonderful Holiday season and finally are able to sneak in some time to get krafty!!
I pulled out the Eskimo Pals stamp set and coloured it up with Copic markers. Next I masked off the image and created a cool galaxy background using my inks. I also added texture using ink splatter and the Beautiful Burlap stencil with white pigment ink.
I hope you play along and I can't wait to see what you create!

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! These must be new creations and you are welcome to use any stamp, however using a Kraftin' Kimmie Stamp will earn you double entries! Each submission will enter you into the monthly draw of a $40 gift voucher to the krafty shop!

We've also got a fun sketch to inspire you for the month of January! You don't have to use it but it's there for you to use if you need a little kickstart....feel free to use it any time!

There are two ways to enter our challenges! 1) you can link up your entries at the bottom of this post and 2) share your KKS creations in our Krafty Friends facebook group! We can't wait to see what you create!

Inspirational Wednesday - Gingerbread Kisses!

Good morning and welcome fellow krafters to another Inspirational Wednesday post!

Each week one of our incredible Krafty Design Team members is here to inspire you to get creative with your Kraftin' Kimmie goodies!

This week, Krafty Girl Delphine is here with a wonderful design featuring our

GINGERBREAD KISSES stamp set!

Hello everyone! Krafty Girl Delphine here to share some Christmas inspiration, with Christmas being just around the corner! There are lots of adorable Christmas stamps in the shop and I chose GINGERBREAD KISSES. I used the two characters from the set, did some fussy cutting and coloured them in Copics. For the "kisses" idea, I used a Doodlebug DP with hearts and die cut it with a circle die. I also added a piece of glitter tape - it is Christmas after all ;)!

And guess what? This fabulous stamp set is on SALE this week in the Krafty Shop!
You can find GINGERBREAD KISSES here!

Inspirational Wednesday - Angel Voices

Good Morning and Happy Wednesday fellow krafters!!!Welcome to another 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, Keri is sharing her creation featuring
Angel Voices

I am so excited to be able to share a new creations with you today.

I colored the cute carolers with Copics:
Skin: E04, E11, E21, E00 and E000 with R20
Hair and Fur: E29, E25 and E21
Red: R59, R29 and R22
Green: G28, G24, G21 and YG03
White: W5, W3 and W1
Black: W9, W7, W5 and W3
Jeans: B99, B97, B95, B93 and B91
Caroles: E35, E33 and E31

I used a music Hot Foil plate to foil the pattern paper in matte black to create my own pattern paper.

I added some white glitter paste around the circle and the top edge of the Christmastree strip. I added Ruby Red ink to the edges of the sentiment to give it a matted look and then matted it on glitter paper.

I finished it off with an Angel and music note buttons.

I just love these carolers and I hope you do too.

Happy Stampin!

And I'm up today featuring the month of NOVEMBER!!

I'm super excited to be sharing a brand new creation featuring the new POLAR PALS stamp set! I finally got to play with both the images from the set this past week and it was SO much fun! For my creation I used the polar bear and penguins stamp from the set and coloured it up with my Copic markers! I made a quick watercolour background which I feel really makes the image pop! The card base is black and I added a flag with one of the sentiments from the set and some enamel dots!

In November we released:

PERKY PENGUINS, KRAFTY LOVE
