Inspirational Wednesday - Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps

Good Morning and Happy Wednesday Friends!!!
Welcome to an Inspirational Wednesday post!

Each week one of the amazing design team members from Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps posts a creation to inspire you to get creative with your krafty stamps!

This week its my turn to share and I decided to use the Heavenly Holiday clear stamp set!

Coloured with Copic makers, background is created using Krafty Kolours Inks in Yummy Yellow, Ruby Red, and Marvellous Mocha 

I stamped out the image with Wicked Black ink and coloured it up using Copic markers.

The background was created by masking off the image then ink blending using a stencil with Ruby Red and Yummy Yellow Krafty Kolour inks. To achieve that vintage feel, I ink blended the edges with Marvellous Mocha ink.

As an added bonus Kimmie has put the 

Heavenly Holiday stamp set on SALE! 

Be sure to scoop it up today at a SPECIAL price!

Happy Kraftin'!

Introducing Grab and Go by Stamp AnnieThing

Hi and welcome to our first ever Grab and Go! Release Hop!

What is Grab and Go!?

It's a well thought out (and jammed packed) themed subscription box!

We pulled out all the bells and whistles for this Wizard inspired theme box to get us all in the mood for the soon to be released Fantastic Beasts 2 movie!

If you are anything like me, and love anything Harry Potter related - than this box is for you!

~*~*~*~*~Because LOVE is a well stocked subscription box!~*~*~*~*~

Check out the LISTING here to see a list of all the goodies the box contains!

Valued over $165, its quite a steal considering all you get inside!

Take a peek at the projects I made using the new release items and make sure to visit the other team members below too!  Meg and Stephen used ONLY items from the box, so you can see what you will be getting!

`~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

When Ann told me about the Grab and Go box concept I was so pumped...I couldn't wait...I just knew it was going to be FANTASTIC. When I finally got this amazing box in my hands, I was seriously FLOORED by the amount of wonderful items that are inside. When she says it's a well stocked subscription box, she isn't kidding. Never in all my years of crafting have I seen a box with this many incredible goodies.

I created all of these projects using only what was inside the box...and let me tell you, I DIDNT even make a dent in the contents of this collection. I worked on all these cards while I was travelling...I actually coloured all the images while I was on a plane ride to California and completed the cards in my hotel room. There is literally everything you could ever need (aside from markers and your die cutting machine) to make piles and piles of amazing witch and wizard themed projects. 

I hope you like my card creations...I certainly had a blast brewing them up and its been killing me to have had to wait to share them with all of you. I'm certain they will cast the same spell on you too.

Creating a card using a stencil

Hi Friends! Today I created a quick card that requires no colouring whatsoever!! The moment I had the Build A Cactus 1 stencil in my hands, I just knew I had to make a clean and simple card using only it.

All I used on this card was the amazing Stamp AnnieThing Hybrid ink cubes, the Build A Cactus 1 stencil, the Thanks die from Stamp AnnieThing and a few sequins. This card is quick and simple but so much fun to make.

I hope you liked my card creation for today!

Until next time - Stephen

Stamp AnnieThing - Have A Lovely Day

Hi Friends!

Today I have a quick and simple card using Stamp AnnieThing stamps.

As you may have heard, Stamp AnnieThing has released their own line of Hybrid Inks and I cannot begin to express how awesome they are. 

I coloured up one of the images from the Lemonade Stand theme set but decided to have colour her as if she was holding a glass of orange juice. 

I created the background by masking off a rectangle shape and then ink blending using the new Hybrid Inks in the colours Tangerine and Aspen Gold. After I finished the ink blending, I decided to use an embossing folder on the background to give it more texture and visual interest.

I hope you liked my card creation for today!

Until next time - Stephen
