Well, we are back with MORE fun stuff!

Today we are spotlighting a new stamp set from artist Michelle Houghton called FRUITY FUN!

Who doesn't love fruit?
  And fruit plus puns.....equals tons of FUN!

I created some fun little gift tags for today's project!

I coloured the images with Copics and found some fun coordinating papers from my stash!

I just love these punny sentiments! I added each coordinating sentiment to my tags and tied on some pretty ribbon and twine!

KKS April Krafty Peeks Day 1 - Fruity Favourites!

 Who's ready for some brand new Krafty Goodies?

It's time to bring you NEW stamp sets and layering stencils
from Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps!

In case you haven't heard, we are moving to release every other month but the same number of wonderful products!

So we will be sharing FOUR new stamp sets and TWO new sets of layering stencils over the course of this week!

Today we are excited to kick things off with a super SWEET stamp set from artist Sabrina van Vloten called FRUITY FAVOURITES!!  You may remember her design called Fall Favourites from last autumn!  You loved it so much that we expanded on this yummy theme!

ALSO we have a coordinating set of layering stencils which is super FRESH!

It's called FRESH FRUIT!

I have coloured up the sweet ladybugs sipping lemonade for this card! I used Copic Markers and found some fun lemon paper from my stash!

I used the new Fresh Fruit stencil to create some embellishments for my card. I blended the images with Charming Chartreuse and Soft Sage inks to create limes and fussy cut them out to add around the sentiment, stamped with Ruby Red ink! I added a few yellow dew drops from The Robin's Nest Creative and Ranager Stickles to the bubbles in the lemonade to finish things off!

As you head out on today's Krafty Hop you'll get to enjoy lots of gorgeous creations from our Krafty Team featuring FRUITY FAVOURITES and FRESH FRUIT in combination with some of our other incredible products such as our Krafty Kolours Hybrid Inks!

Something Old, Something New

It's a Choose Your Own Krafty Adventure!

I'm using the sweet new Fairies and Furries stamps from last month's release - so maybe you could say they're new and old! And I've got a beautiful background that includes blue using the Swirling Stars stencil, again from the March release. I used texture paste on a watercolour cardbase through the stars and moon on the stencil and then added Lavinia Dinkles powder to create a burst of colour! A bit of gold Lunar Paste highlights the raised areas.

I coloured this adorable image in with alcohol based markers and stamped the lovely sentiment from the set. A few dew drops from The Robin's Nest Creative and some gold thread finish it off!

We also have a new Ink Of The Month, which will be on sale all month long!! This month features the gorgeous Glorious Grapefruit Ink Pad, Ink Cube and Reinker! Grab it now to add to your collection..

I'm using the adorable new You're Stu-pandous stamp set and Wonderful Wildlife stencil! 

I coloured up these sweet friends with Copics on a diecut panel edged with Incredible Indigo Krafty Kolours ink. I cut various panels using lots of stitching dies to layer that on and even used a black pen to add faux pen stitching. 

I used Solar Pastes with the Wonderful Wildlife stencil on black cardstock. The Solar Pastes are so shiny, especially on a dark background and look so super cool with this amazing stencil! I used the Incredible Indigo ink again to stamp one of the awesome sentiments!
