Mahalo!

I haven’t been to Hawaii since I was about 7 years old, but it’s amazing how many vivid memories I still have of that trip (and that is saying something because I seem to have a hole in my brain when it comes to remember details of trips I took when I was younger).  Hawaii I remember!!!

So when I saw this new release from Kraftin’ Kimmie stamps, I fell in love with this beauty!  So many great details, and some much fun texture to colour!  Looking at Leilani now, I think she needs more of a tan, but perhaps the lighting was a just a bit overexposed, right (work with me here people)???

Make sure you check out all the other fun “kreations” the Krafty gals have in store with this new release.  There are two other amazing stamp designs by artist Annie Rodriquez that you do not want to miss.  And remember, if you take the time to leave a comment, you could be rewarded with some free stamps from this release!  Trust me – it’s worth your time!

Something is a bit fishy…

Can something be fishy in a good way?  All I know is that this new set of stamps from Kraftin’ Kimmie called “Shell me a Story” is all sorts of fun!  The set comes with three adorable mermaids and a number of fun sentiments – they are a blast to colour and make a great addition to any summer themed card or layout!

I decided to tackle a double side step card, mostly because I wanted a fun way to show off more that one of the mermaids from this set.  This was not a fold I had tried before, but I found a great tutorial here.  I modified the dimension a bit to better suit the stamps, but other than that the tutorial worked perfectly for this card.  The paper and sticker embellishments are all from Echo Park’s Splash collection – my all time favourite summer themed paper collection!  A few pearl embellishments, some Stickles, a bit of glossy accents for the crabs eyes, and some fun May Arts ribbon and I was all set.

Don’t forget to check out all the other fun creations the Krafty gals have cooked up today!  Leave some comments for you chance to win this new release!  There is even another stamp set by artist Cheryl Auger that you do not want to miss!

The weather outside’s delightful!

And I am so excited to share with you some new Kraftin’ Kimmie stamps this week that are not only delightful as well, but celebrate all the fun things that summer weather brings with it!

First up is this fun new set called “Summer Lovin“‘.  I decided to team up the fun sandcastle, bucket and shell stamps from this set for a bit of a graduation card!

This set would make great embellishments for a beach themed layout as well as summer cards!

This second set is one of my favourites from the new releases:

This set, called “Good Vibrations” is full of sweet treats!  I teamed them up with some awesome Doodlebug paper from the Flowerbox collection.  These stamps look awesome on their own or teamed up together.  I have a few ice cream photos of the girls that I could definitely scrap with them as well!

We have lots of inspiration from the Krafty Girls, so hop around….and be sure to comment at each and every stop because one lucky stamper is going to WIN BOTH of the new GOOD VIBRATIONS and SUMMER LOVIN’ sets!!! {All of this week’s winners will be announced at the online party on Saturday night!}

It’s official!

When I first started crafting, one of “the” names I got to know was “Jinger Adams”.  At the time, I had just received a Cricut for Mother’s Day, and Jinger was the “face” of Cricut for me!  So about a month ago, when I got an email asking if I would consider being part of Jinger’s Design team as she works on promoting her own personal line of paper and crafting supplies, I thought it was a joke.  Yup – I hit Google and tried to find out all I could about this “new line” and whether someone was just pulling my leg.

Well, as it turns out, they were serious.  Even when I mentioned that I was in Canada (now let me be clear, us Canucks rock the crafting world, but shipping product back and forth across the border can really be a pain in the behind)! Jinger and her team said they loved Canada and were excited to have a presence up here too.  A couple of weeks later, I received a fun box of crafty supplies, and today, I get to share the good news and fun products with you!

This was a layout that I put together recently of my youngest daughter.  I teamed up papers from the adorable All Occasion Card Kit (it’s not just for card making!!!), for this bright and cheerful 12X12 layout!

I can’t wait to share more projects with you in the weeks to come!  Hopefully, you will be inspired to get crafty too!

And, since every good new release has giveaways, make sure you pop on over to Jinger’s blog and say hello!  You don’t want to miss out on your chance to win!!
