Wonderful Wednesday


Hello everyone! It's Wonderful Wednesday and it's ANYTHING GOES at Kraftin' Kimmie! Break out your Kraftin' Kimmie stamps and get krafty!

We want everyone to be able to play along so your submission can use ANY stamp and can be any theme, any style but it must be a NEW creation! At the end of the month, one random winner will be chosen from all the submissions for the whole month and will receive a $20 Gift Card to the shop!

In addition to the great Krafty Challenges and Wonderful Wednesdays, each month we will post a sketch. The sketch will last all month long and if you use it in ANY of our Challenges or WWs during that month, you will get an additional chance to win a store gift card! You do NOT have to use the sketch, it's just a little extra boost for your mojo if you need it!

Here is my card for today :)


Stamps: Kraftin' Kimmie Bugs & Kisses, Bo Bunny Doodle Flowers
Colouring: Copics on Make it Colour Blending Card
Die: MFT

Yes, I know... can you spot a severe addiction to the Bugs & Kisses set ;)? So, yes, indeed, I've made another card with these adorable little bugs! I stamped some Bo Bunny Flowers on my card base and die cut it with an MFT die. I coloured my flowers and added a hill in Copics. I coloured 3 bugs and 2 hearts form the Bugs & Kisses set, fussy cut them and put them on foam squares. Lastly I stamped a sentiment from the set too.

Thank you very much for your visit, have a lovely day! Hugs,

Krafty Komeback!


Hello everyone! It's time for a Krafty Komeback! As you know lots of the rubber stamp sets at Kraftin' Kimmie have long retired and are not available for purchase anymore. Well we've decided to switch some things up and rerelease a few of our faves in clear! And today we're announcing a new one!

This GORGEOUS spring stamp set features one of our most popular images from artist Annie Rodrigue! It's sweet little DANDY LION! Such a gorgeous design that's perfect for friendship creations, thinking of you cards and lots more! And look at that fun skirt... so many fun ways to colour it!


Here is my little card for today:


Stamp: Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps Dandy Lion
Colouring: Zig Clean Color Real Brush on Canson Montval

I couldn't bring myself to add anything to this image, I really like it just by itself so made a super CAS card :)

The Krafty Krew DT members listed below have created some beautiful creations to inspire you so be sure to hop around! Then hop over to the shop because DANDY LION is NOW AVAILABLE!

It's also Frugal Friday and we've got FOUR sets on sale 40% OFF! But only for the weekend and only while supplies last! So be sure to check them out!

Happy hoppin'! Hugs,
Delphine xx

Love love love!


Hello everyone! Today I'm sharing a card full of love! I used one of the Sweet Valentine Girls digis by Make it Crafty called Marcy's Full Of Love - of course ;)!


As always, I coloured skin first using E000, 00, 04, 11 and a bit of R20 for the cheeks and mouth.


Next I coloured part of her dress white - using C Copics. I left a lot of white to give the impression of white with shading and coloured using C4 in the places meant to be the darkest, then C2 and C0.


I continued with the reds. To give a bit more depth, I used T5 in the darkest spots, then R39, R37 and R35.


For her black hair, I chose my favourite combo of 100, C9, then C7 and BV04 in the highlights. So all the colours I used for my image are as follows:

Skin: E000, 00, 04, 11
Hair: 100, BV04, C7, 9
Eyes: BG000
White: C0, 2, 4
Red: R35, 37, 39, T5

And there she is on a card:


I matched her with love DPs by MFT and added 4 little Make it Crafty Mini Hearts Chipboard Tinklings coloured in R35 and R39.

That's all from me today, thank you very much for your visit, have a great day! Hugs,
Delphine xx
