Bog Hop - February Krafty Previews!

It's finally here!!! The RELEASE of our February 2016 clear stamp sets!!! Did you have fun at the party yesterday! I know I did even though we are battling mother nature and her idea of a snow storm. These "spring" stamps sure made everything better.

We've released ALL the new clear stamp sets that we've been previewing all week and we're celebrating with an amazing krafty HOP! So grab a nice hot beverage and put your feet up because you will need a few relaxing minutes to enjoy all the gorgeousness by our design team!!

We've got a be-EWE-tiful new set by artist Emilie Goulet called EWE ARE AMAZING! It features some fluffy new friends for spring!

We have two beautiful sets from artist, Annie Rodrigue called LOOK FOR RAINBOWS! and MAKE A SPLASH!

There's a sweeeeeet new set by artist Cheryl Grant called MADE WITH LOVE!

Lastly we have two fun new sets from artist, Becky Pearce called HELLO SPRING! and BUDS & BLOOMS!

For my hop card I used BUDS & BLOOMS. This is such a great set and super versatile! It can be used for birthday, wedding or even sympathy cards! Seeing as today is valentines I went a more traditional route and did a love themed card. I stamped the flowers in black in and used different colors with the filled in flowers. The paper is MME Jubille and i just accented the flowers with little jewels and DONE - fast, easy and such a simple card to pull together and the look is awesome!

You will get to see ALL of the new sets in action as you sit back and enjoy the hop! Then head on over to the Krafty Shop because ALL of the new stamp sets are NOW AVAILABLE!

Day Five - February Krafty Previews!

Welcome Krafty Friends to Day FIVE of our February Krafty Previews!!!

This beautiful stamp set is called BUDS & BLOOMS! and has so many gorgeous elements to get creative with plus a bunch of lovely sentiments for a total of FIFTEEN stamps!

I know I say it all the time but this is really a versatile stamp set! I started with a blank piece of paper and masked a lot of the flowers so it looked like a huge bouquet! The flowers are colored with watercolour (been on a kick with them lately!). The paper is by Heidi Swapp called Favorite Things. I also decorated the flowers with some very tiny jewels I had.

It's also Challenge Day and our hostess is JENNY! The challenge is Anything Goes (as it always is during release week) so create a card, altered item, scrapbook page with any stamp BUT if you use a Kraftin' Kimmie Stamp, you'll double your chances to WIN!

Day Four - February Krafty Previews!

Welcome Krafty Friends to Day FOUR of our February Krafty Previews!!!

We're back with another day of fabulous previews featuring lots of springy sweet inspiration!

Today we are sharing a sweeeeet new set by artist, Cheryl Grant! It features our favourite kiddos, Lulu and Lucas and of course, a couple of little animal pals! It's called MADE WITH LOVE! and has the two main images PLUS FOUR super fun coordinating sentiments!

 I was so excited to see lucas as a baker for this release - as I am a baker myself!!! and don't get me started on those great looking cookies he has - YUMMY!!!! Are any of you cookie fanatics too??

I did both the outside and inside again on this card. I used Basic Grey Hopscotch and combined that with a ribbon. I choose this paper because of the browns which kinda reminded me of chocolate!

Day Three - February Krafty Previews!

 Welcome Krafty Friends to Day THREE of our February Krafty Previews!!!

Have you been enjoying our new springy previews?? So far we have seen some pretty awesome sets and so many more still to come!

Today we are previewing TWO gorgeous new sets by artist, Annie Rodrigue! I know you'll agree that Annie's creations have so much life and are so much fun to colour!

The first set is called LOOK FOR RAINBOWS! and features the sweet main image PLUS FOUR fabulous coordinating sentiments! I just love umbrellas, don't you?

And the second set is called MAKE A SPLASH! and features the super SASSY main image PLUS FOUR fun coordinating sentiments!

Not only did I decorate the outside of my card but the inside as well!!!

So here is what I used for my card - Bella Blvd (blueberry strands), Bo Bunny (wasabi double dots), twine, ribbon, doodlebug doilies (blue jean) minis, Bella Blvd enamel dots (bell pepper)!!!!

I decided to use the cute sentiment on both the inside and the outside of the card so it seemed to flow well between the two.

Do any of you have stories about jumping in puddles??? I was so drawn to this stamp because one day outside of my local michaels (of course on a wet and dreary day) i was in my wellies and decided for the heck of it to splash in the puddles...yes a total kid moment but sometimes we just need one I think. Well this cute little lady comes up to me and comments that it looks fun, of course I said it was and told her to try it....off she walked giggling and smiling.

You'll see both stamp sets featured by our amazing Krafty Girl Design Team in today's blog hop! Below you'll find links to all the gorgeous creations and while you're visiting the blogs, be sure to comment and leave some love for our designers because one lucky krafty person is going to WIN a gift card to the shop!
