Hooray, it's June Release Day and Krafty Hop!!

Whoopee, it's finally here!! It's June Release Day, therefore time to debut the beautiful Mermaids and Miles the Mouse. As you've probably already 'heard' me or one of the other girls say, we have 6 gorgeous Mermaids, 6 accessory stamps (even a few extra bonus stamps) and a fantastic Kimmie's Beachy Sentiment Set with over 20 sentiments in it. This mermaid kit is only available from Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps and only for a limited time. However, Kimmie is selling the kit for 20% off the regular price. These images were all designed by our wonderfully talented Annie Rodrigue. I think her creations keep getting better all the time!!

The Miles the Mouse line was created by our new artist Steven Leary. We are just so excited to have him join us at Kraftin' Kimmie's. It amazes me how much humour he manages to put into these simple cartoon type images. I just love them.

For my blog hop card, I used Surfboard Miles, isn't he adorable? I coloured him with my Copics, of course. I cut him out using my Nesties, then I cut the next size from Tangerine Tango. I pop dotted the whole layer onto some summer type DP, then matted them onto Taken with Teal. I put some teal buttons on, then some Tangerine Tango ribbon and I tied a starfish charm on the knot with some linen thread. I punched out the sentiment with my small oval punch and that's it.

Now to the blog hop. If you want to start from the beginning, go to Kraftin' Kimmie's Challenge Blog. If you have already done that and you have landed here from Donna's Blog, you are in the right place. Be sure to leave a comment on each of our blogs as some lucky stampers are going to win packages of stamps from the New Release, so the more comments you leave, the better your chances. We have some fabulous guests for this months' Hop too, we even have both of our fabulous artists joining in with us. Oh, did I mention that for the first whole week of this release, every order will have a bonus package of accessory stamps? I know that's true because I helped Kimmie package them up.

Okay, you've put up with me long enough, I'll put you out of your misery, your next stop on the Hop is Annie Rodrigue, the super talented creator of the Moonlight Whispers line.

Happy Hopping,

Diana

Kraftin' Kimmie Peek, Day 4 and Challenge 33!!

Wow, there is so much going on right now with Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps that I have a hard time keeping it all straight. This is day 4 of the Krafty Peeks, so today I have used Arianna. This is one of my favourites as I love Sea Horses, they are so beautiful. I coloured her with my Copics as usual and used some Destination Paradise papers from Me and My Big Ideas. It's a simple layout, but I wanted to be able to see some of the picture on the blue layer. I added the lovely sea horse charm and used the sentiment 'Waving Hello', which is in the Mermaid Sentiments. There are lots of other great sentiments such as 'Eat My Bubbles' , 'Fish You Were Here' and 'Dropping You A Line'. I can't wait to use them all.

Now for this weeks' challenge. Our leader Kraftin' Kimmie is the hostess this week and the theme is --- Beachy Keen! Summer or Water Themed Creations. Well, she gave us Krafty Girls a break, didn't she as we have all these awesome stamps to work with. I'm sure though that you can create some summery or beachy creations and if you are the random winner, you will receive your choice of either Cordelia or Tubing Miles as Kimmie is using both. So then you will have your own water or beachy themed stamp.

So now go and check out all the other creations on the rest of the Krafty Girls' Blogs, that's if you haven't already. Also, be sure and come back tomorrow for our fabulous Krafty Hop. We will have some wonderful guests artists joining in the hop along with our own Krafty Girls. If you leave a comment on each and every stop, you will have more chances to win some awesome rubber from the New Release!!

Hope you are all having a wonderful weekend,

Blessings,

Diana

Day 3 of Kraftin' Kimmie's Krafty Peeks!

Okay, it's day 3 of the Kraftin' Kimmie Previews. Said I'd be back, didn't I? This cute little fella is Tubing Miles, another of the images from Kimmie's new artist, Steven Leary. Only 2 more days and all these awesome new stamps will be available at Kraftin' Kimmie's Stamp Shop.

I made this card A2 size, which is a nice change. These stamps are smaller than our usual ones, so they work well on this size card base. I coloured Miles with my Copics, then cut him out, which was so easy because of the simple lines. I pop dotted him onto some purple 'A Day at the Beach' papers by The Paper Studio, which I had cut out using one of my Blossom Nesties. I used some more of the same papers to set that layer on, I love this one because it has sea horses on. I put a strip of some more of the DP along the bottom, matting it on some Summer Sun cardstock. Then I added a charm, tied with some linen thread and layered everything on some retired Eggplant Envy, then the card base of Baja Breeze.

Make sure you come back tomorrow to see what else I have for you and also remember to go and check out the awesome creations of the other Krafty Girls. It's also Challenge day, so come and see what challenge our fearless leader Kimmie has come up with.

See you tomorrow,

Diana
