July 2018 Release Hop at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps!

Welcome to the July Release Blog Hop at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps! Yesterday all 3 of the adorable new July sets were released for purchase at the shop!




Included this month are:

1. Blast Off by Cheryl Grant

3. Manatee Pals by Melissa Baker-Nguyen!

You'll get to see all 3 sets in action as you hop around today. If you haven't scooped them up yet, make sure to pop on over to the shop to place your order! For those of you who have to have it all, make sure to check out the July Gimmie Kimmie Kit...you'll get the full release in a bundle at a discounted price, but only while supplies last!

Kimmie has also added some fun new embellishments to the shop...check out the selection of sequins now available!

There's also the SECRET KRAFTY KARD KIT! You're going to love this one...it's Halloween themed and jam packed full of krafty goodness! Additionally, you'll be invited to a private facebook group and asked to join us as a Special Krafty Guest to help release the new stamp set along with the Krafty Design Team!

This weekend only our AMAZING Krafty Hybrid Inks are 15% off...make sure to put some in your cart. I can honestly say that these inks have become my go-to regardless of which medium I'm using. No other ink has ever given me such clean crisp images. I highly recommend them! Sale ends Monday morning. 

For my release hop project, I used the fun BLAST OFF set by Cheryl Grant. I got together with Kimmie a couple of weeks ago and we spend some time getting creative in the Krafty Kave. We decided to try painting some galaxy backgrounds on canvas...we had a lot of fun playing with acrylic paints! We figured they would be perfect for this new set. I stamped Lucas and the dog on Neenah paper and coloured them with Copics. They were fussy cut out and adhered to the painted backdrop. These are little 4x4 canvases that I found at the dollar store...just the perfect size for a little space scene!

Here's the list of designers participating in today's hop:

I made a bookmark featuring one of the adorably chubby manatees and the ocean bottom stamps from the MANATEE PALS stamp set. The images were stamped on to cotton watercolour paper and then I painted the scene with a combination of Daniel Smith and Koi watercolour paints. I absolutely LOVE this sweet set! I also added a handmade tassel (learned how to make these from my lovely friend Krafty Girl Alexis). 

Here's a look at the full stamp set:
