New Product Release!!!!

TODAY IS THE DAY KRAFTY FRIENDS!!!

The one you have ALL been waiting for!

  You may have heard that we've been working on something top secret for the last few months and it's FINALLY time that we can share it with everyone!!!

Today we are introducing you to.....

Krafty Kolours Inks by Kraftin’ Kimmie Stamps!

We are thrilled to introduce a brand new product to the Kraftin’ Kimmie Stamps line…..KRAFTY KOLOURS INKS!

These new inks are a Hybrid ink that combines the best of both dye ink and pigment ink!
- These beauties are acid free, archival and non-fading!
- This ink dries almost instantly on paper and non-porous surfaces and requires a heat set on glossy surfaces and fabric
- They have a raised felt pad that let you stamp any size stamp!
- They give a crisp, bright, non-bleeding impression!
- They come in full sized pads, mini cubes and ink refills!

With these inks you can ink directly, sponge, stencil, watercolour, you can do all sorts of techniques with them AND most exciting….the Krafty Kolours Inks are safe to use with pencils AND alcohol based markers!!

For the card above I used the large ink pads and stamped all over a baby wipe alternating the colours. I then used a piece of watercolour paper and placed it over the baby wipe.
You need to press into the wipe, I took a large acrylic block and placed it over the paper. I then pressed into the wipe. Peel it up and you get this neat background!!!

 For this card I stenciled the stars using Purple Pansy onto some white cardstock I had. Once this dried I used the same stencil and used clear modeling paste with glitter to create the silhouettes.

This one is really neat!
For "SPARKLE" I inked half with Pansy Purple and other with Lovely Lagoon and then stamped this onto my white base. Once it was dry I then used the glossy accents over top and sprinkled some glitter and VOILA!


Today we are having a big Launch Party over on the Krafty Friends Facebook page with the Krafty Girls and Special Krafty Guests sharing information about the new products, sharing tons of new projects, live videos, youtube videos, we're doing giveaways, challenges and lots more!!

You'll be able to purchase all the large ink pads, mini cubes and refills individually OR in sets at a small discount! PLUS there are TWO brand NEW stamp sets that are from the May release and will ONLY be released as part of the special kits!

Kim has also chosen some amazing coordinating Bazzill Bling cardstocks to match the coloured inks and you'll be able to scoop those up as well!! SO exciting!
So be sure to pop into the group today or hang out with us for all the fun all day long!! 

Let's get INKY!!!

Saturday Challenge - Anything Goes!

Happy Saturday everyone!
We are back again with another fun challenge and we have a 
super easy challenge lined up for you this week!
It's ANYTHING GOES!

For this challenge I used HOPPY FRIENDS!

We had our entire family together this Easter at our place! For our family this is hard as we have several members who work shift work and our family events are usually missing one or two people. 

In honour of this special day (and that everyone was there) I made these cute little easter baskets for everyone!

I used one of the cute bunnies from the set along with one of the sentiments! I think they turned out awesome and everyone loved them!

Submit your krafty design for your chance to WIN! You have until Friday, April 27th to enter this challenge! Keep in mind, all entries are welcome but you must use a Kraftin' Kimmie Stamp in order to win.

Each Saturday we post a new challenge and you can enter as many times as you like!!! And each submission during the month will enter you into the monthly prize which will be....
a $40 gift voucher to spend in the krafty shop!!!

We've also got a fun sketch for your inspiration for April! You don't have to use it but if you need a little extra kickstart in your mojo, feel free to use it any time!

Be sure to hop on over to the Krafty Shop this weekend because our FRUGAL FRIDAY SPECIALS are DOUBLED with EIGHT of our amazing stamp sets on 30-40% OFF! Plus our Inspirational Wednesday featured set is on SALE as well!

for our April release at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps!

Today we are sharing a very special stamp set!

Unfortunately, a lot of us have been touched by a severe illness of some kind. And while it's difficult to know what to do during those times to help someone dealing with these situations, there's one thing we can do as crafters and that's send an uplifting an encouraging creation!

We are thrilled to introduce a beautiful scripture sentiment set by
artist Melissa Baker-Nguyen called ENDURING LOVE!

This gorgeous set features seven lovely scripture verses in a combination of sweet fonts and will look beautiful as the focal point of your card or as an addition to an image.
