Day Three - August Krafty Previews!


We are back with Day THREE of the Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps AUGUST KRAFTY PREVIEWS!!!

Today we have a witchy new set by artist, Annie Rodrigue!! I think you'll agree that it is FA-BOO-LOUS!! The set is called MY BEST FRIENDS ARE WITCHES! and it has two gorgeous main images plus FIVE coordinating sentiments!



Annie's witches are totally awesome in this set. I am so lucky to get to play with some pretty awesome stamps!!! For my card I used the no lines technique and it turned out absolutely amazing! I really do find this technique challenging however it is really great to use it and the images look fantastic!

For the cauldron and the smoke I pop dotted them from a second image which I had fussy cut out, this was to provide a bit more depth to the image. I used a black Doodlebug Doily in the bottom right hand corder as well. This doily is one of the minis.


I also decided I wanted to decorate the inside of the card with one of the cute sentiments from the set. I placed several flags, one of which with the sentiment on top of  a puff from the smoke which I strategically stamped and coloured.

I hope you enjoy all the great work from the girls today!

Don't forget that ALL of our AUGUST stamps will be available on Saturday night at the Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps Shop!!! Not only will you be able to purchase the NEW spooky stamps but we are also releasing a Limited Edition HALLOWEEN KARD KIT!!!

Day One - August Krafty Previews!

Welcome to our SPOOK-tacular release week!!!

Today is Day ONE of the Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps AUGUST 2015 previews!!!

 

We are kickin' things off with a BOO-tiful new set featuring some awesome large sentiments in beautiful fonts from artist, Becky Pearce!! The set is called....SPOOK-TACULAR SENTIMENTS!!


I am such a Halloween person! I know it's only a day but I LOVE LOVE LOVE Halloween. On my card I used some older Basic Grey paper I had in my stash. I am a sucker for green on Halloween cards so I inked around my image and then I distressed all the papers up to give it that vintage look.
I also got to play with some of our new Terrific Twine while I was at the Krafty Kave at Kimmie's!!! I think it works extremely well on this card and ties all the colours and papers together.
 
You'll find so many amazing creations on today's hop featuring this stunning set! We know you are just going to LOVE these creations and you'll be inspired as you check them out today!! There are EIGHT sentiments in the set!! Below you will find links to the blogs of all the Krafty Girls and Guests who have goodies to show you today and while you're visiting their blogs, be sure to leave some love at each stop because one lucky stamper from all the comments this week is going to WIN some $$ to the Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps Shop!!
