May Release Day Three - COW'S IT GOING & JUST CHICKEN IN


Welcome to Day THREE of our May Krafty Peeks at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps!

What's springtime like down on the farm?? Lots of FUN according to these kiddos and animals! Here are TWO new sets from artist Cheryl Grant! First is COW'S IT GOING!!!
Secret Krafty Klub members will recognize this set as they received it in their mailbox back in March! And it will be available to everyone on Saturday! It features a large main image, an extra little puppy pal and four fun sentiments!

The second set is JUST CHICKEN IN!!! How sweet are these??? There's a main image featuring Lexi feeding her chicks (with a lending paw from her kitten), and two additional animal images with a mother hen and a gorgeous pony! And there's four coordinating sentiments!


This set is very near and dear to my heart as my grandpa was a dairy farmer and would tell us stories about growing up on the farm and the cows. My mom even has a few good stories that we all love to hear. The cows had such personality and spirit. I can imagine my grandpa lucas as just feeding the cows in the fields! 

You will see both of today's sets in action as you hop around the Krafty blogs! You'll see the list of Krafty design team members and Krafty Guests below and be sure to leave some love at each stop because one lucky commenter is going to WIN a gift voucher to the krafty shop!

May Release Day Two - Summer Aviva



Welcome to Day TWO of our May Krafty Peeks at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps!

We are so thrilled to share some gorgeous artwork from one of our amazing design team members!!! Today's stamp set is from artist, Jasmine Turandar! It's called SUMMER AVIVA!


This sweet set features a beautiful main image with a lovely summer dress with lots of folds to colour up! And there are also two fabulous coordinating sentiments to go with her!


Isn't Jasmine very talented!!!! I had this cute paper from quite some time ago and since teal is one of my fav colours I decided I wanted to use it with Aviva. I wanted the image to be the main focus and the sentiment to be inside the card.


All the Krafty Team and Guests listed below have lots of beautiful creations to share with you today featuring the SUMMER AVIVA stamp set from Jasmine!

You'll see her in so many different colours and designs!! Be sure to hop around and leave lots of love at each and every stop because one lucky commenter will WIN a gift voucher to the krafty shop!

I was plenty excited when I heard Melissa was joining us as a designer. Her stamps are just awesome!!! I knew when I got this that I wanted to make a card, which I made in the CAS style, but that I also wanted to try tags with this. I made a shaker tag with little heart sequins! It's darling! Next I want to try bookmarks!!! Wouldn't that look awesome with the mason jar??

Saturday Challenge - Buttons


Hi everyone! Welcome to another challenge at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps! This Saturday challenge was to use buttons on your project, card or scrappy layout!

On my card I used BUTTERFLY DREAMS! I just love playing with this set! I stamped the butterfly image on watercolour paper and used my sprays to die the white parts in similar colours to the papers. I then stamped the sentiment directly on the papered paper, added my embellishments and was done the card!



We always enjoy your creations so be sure to submit them so you can have a chance to WIN a $20 gift card to the Shop!! Show us your stuff!!
