I used the Starburst Stencil with the Marvellous Mocha and also stamped the Llama from the Llama Drama stamp set in that color.

I also used the stencil to deboss the stars on the kraft paper and highlighted a few with a white pen.

The sentiment is from the Let Your Light Shine stamp set and stamped in Yummy Yellow and Purple Pansy.


I added glitter to the llama's fur the sentiment and some star with my Wink of Stella pen.

Challenge #478 - TEXTURE

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


Today our hostess for theme for Challenge #478 is
Krafty Gal Danielle and she is challenging you 
to use TEXTURE on your creation(s).  

Hi Krafty Friends!  Danielle here...I'm delighted to 
be your hostess this week!  I've been obsessed lately with
glitter paste and stencils which is an awesome way to 
add texture to a creation.  But there are also lots
 of other ways that you can add "texture".   You can 
add texture paste, expanding mousse, enamel dots, ribbons
sequins, metal elements.  So many options really.  It's much
easier than you might initially think. 
My card adds texture with glitter paste, die cuts, coloring techniques, 
and lots of layers. I used the STARBURST stencil and 
 the uber adorable YOU GIVE ME WINGS stamp set. 


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 sketch to inspire you for the month of April!  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!



Also don't miss this weekend's CUSTOMER APPRECIATION EVENT!  Make your own SALE by using coupon code BESTCUSTOMERSEVER to receive 20% OFF all regular priced items in the shop!!  That includes clear stamps, rubber stamps, stencils, inks and dots!

Inspirational Wednesday - Darling Dragons!

Hello krafty friends!  
Today is INSPIRATIONAL WEDNESDAY -
the day we provide you with a bit of extra
crafty inspiration to help you get creative
with your krafty stamps!
This week Krafty Girl, Danielle is sharing her
creation using the sweet DARLING DRAGONS stamp set!

Hello sweet friends, Danielle here! 
My card today features an adorable 
set that for some silly reason I didn't buy 
right away when it came out.  I finally
couldn't stand it any more and had
to add it to my collection!  It's such a
fun and versatile set.  I LOVE it!! 
The background was created with
the Krafty Scenery stencil and the
Bubbly Blue hybrid ink. I also used
one edge of the stencil for the grassy
hill and then filled it in with my copics.
If you don't have this stencil you should! 

And guess what??  This awesome stamp set is on SALE in the Krafty Shop all week long! 
So hop on over and grab it for your very own!
You can also add the stencil
to your shopping cart while you're at it.
 You know you want it (smiley face!)!  

Happy Kraftin' !

Today is INSPIRATIONAL WEDNESDAY -
the day we provide you with a bit of extra
crafty inspiration to help you get creative
with your krafty stamps!
This week Krafty Girl, Keri is sharing her
creation using the sweet Unicorns & Rainbows stamp set!

Hello sweet friends, Keri here! 
My card today features the adorable Unicorns & Rainbows set.   


I sprayed the background with handmade Kraftin Kimmie Sprays!  I used Charming Chartreuse reinkerMermaid Melody reinker and Raspberry Rose reinker and added them to a spray bottle with distilled water and spritzed to create the background.


I held the spray bottle about 12 inches away and sprayed my three colors.  I sprayed on Ranger Glossy finish paper.

I then cut out a panel for my card and matted it on black cardstock.  I then added cloud and rainbow die cuts to the card.

I colored the Unicorns with Copics:
Pink: RV29, RV25, RV23 and RV21
Lime: YG09, YG07, YG05 and YG03
Blue: BG09, BG07. BG05 and BG02
Gold: E08, YR24 and YR23
Grey: W3, W1 and W00 and T3, T1 and blender

I stamped the sentiment directly on the ink spritzed panel.

And guess what??  This awesome stamp set is on SALE in the Krafty Shop all week long! 
So hop on over and grab it for your very own!
You can also add the stencil
to your shopping cart while you're at it.
 You know you want it (smiley face!)!  

Happy Kraftin' !
