{SPD} Coffee solves everything



Hey there! I have a fun card to share with you today! I used various brown tone distress inks and then using water and a piece of plastic, I 'smooshed' the inks around and used my heat gun to push the 'coffee' around! This was really fun to do. Of course I used watercolour paper as my base. I cut the 'coffee' die and beans from espresso CS using the SugarCuts set, Coffee Words. I stamped the sentiment from Caffeine Addict in black at the bottom. Simple stuff. The cup is a wooden accent that I thought would be the perfect addition for this card :) 

Check out more inspiration from our SugarPeas HERE!

HAPPY NEW HOME! and WELCOME TO THE NEIGHBOURHOOD!
And lastly we have two fun new sets from artist, Becky Pearce called YOU ARE MY SUNSHINE! and BUTTERFLY DREAMS!


Here's my car using Butterfly Dreams. I stamped the butterflies and used my Zig Clean Color brush pens to watercolour them, and sponged around them with TH Distress ink. I cut a circle and mounted onto another watercolour panel that was also sponged. The sentiment was stamped with Versafine black ink. I love the vibrance of this card! 

You will get to see ALL of the new sets in action as you sit back and enjoy the hop! Then head on over to the Krafty Shop because ALL of the new stamp sets are NOW AVAILABLE!

{KKS} Butterfly Dreams

Welcome Krafty Friends to Day FIVE of our
March Krafty Previews!!!
We're back today with our final set of the new release of clear stamps! We've got an absolutely stunning set
from artist Becky Pearce!
This beautiful stamp set is called BUTTERFLY DREAMS! and has so many gorgeous elements to get creative with plus a bunch of lovely sentiments for a total of THIRTEEN stamps!
Wait 'til you see in action in the hop.....you won't believe all the amazing things you can do with it!


I stamped the butterflies and sentiment onto watercolour paper and heat embossed with black EP. I then sponged TH distress ink in various oranges, reds and yellows. I gave the whole thing an overall light spritz with my mini mister, and when that was dry I used a paintbrush dipped in water and 'flicked' clear water drops onto the paper. Heat gun dried that, and repeated with some distress inks mixed with a bit of water to get the ink specks. I added some iridescent white sequins for extra umpf! I will be trying this technique again soon- It was lots of fun and this was the perfect set for it!

{SPD} Love You Tons


Hey there! I have a simple and cute birthday card to show you today! Stamps and dies are by SugarPea Designs: Zig Zag Stitched Circle die, Gift Tag die, and Tons of Fun stamp set.

I attached the balloon with a little piece of hemp cord, using a paper piercer to poke holes to make the string appear to be held under his truck. The image was coloured with copics after being stamped in a light ink to give it a softer look.


Head over to the SPD blog for more inspiration from my fellow peas!

We have two for you today- Rosie Fairy and Teacup Fairy! I've used Rosie on my card today :) There are some great sentiments that go with the set, but I used a circle die to cut out a sentiment from the DP pad that I used.


Here's a bit of a close up of Rosie :) Check out the crafty awesomeness along the hop this morning!

I've used the new Spring Krafty Kard Kit! Everything you see on my card is available in the kit- along with so, so much more! Card bases that come in the kit are 6x6, but I trimmed my base to the standard A2 card size, because I just wanted to focus on the rubber boot image. I thought size-wise, a smaller card would be a bit of a better fit to showcase the boots :) I LOVE the hot pink twine you'll get in this kit!! And that purple damask paper has a velvety feel!!

Be sure to check out the KKS Blog to see what the other Krafty Girls have for you today!

{SPD} Hello, Friend


Just a quick spring card to share with you today!!

The card base was made using the Stitched Flags. I then embossed the whole card with a leafy EF.  The flowers from our sweet incentive set 'Spring Wreath' last release, were all stamped and fussy cut, mounting them onto a Zig Zag Circle diecut, which was stamped with the sentiment and some green leaves. I added some enamel dots and clear wink of stella glitter pen. 

Check out the SugarPea Blog for some more designer inspiration!

{KKS} Wonderful Wednesday!


Hey there! Time for another instalment of Wonderful Wednesday's at Kraftin Kimmie Stamps! I've made a cute and fairly simple card just using some awesome birthday paper (October Afternoon), enamel dots, a button, twine, and some dies that I have kicking around....And of course one of our amazing sentiments from our Birthday sentiment set, Make a Wish. I used an ombre ink pad for a nice effect when stamping with coloured ink. 

We'd love for you to play along with us this week, using any theme or stamp you'd like! We also have a great new March sketch for you to try out if you need a jumping point~ Also, don't forget about our GUEST DESIGNER contest going on over at our Facebook Page.

{SPD} 2nd Birthday Bash!

Hey there! We are so excited to be celebrating SugarPea Designs 2nd Birthday with you today! My very dear friend, Wendy, had a dream to start her own stamp company and I'm so glad she did! I've been around from the beginning and I'm so honoured to have tagged along for the ride! It's been a slice! I LOVE SugarPea stamps and dies and they are such a joy to work with! Aren't I lucky that I get to play with these gorgeous products every month?! I could just pinch myself ;)



Of course, to celebrate I had to make a cheery birthday card! I combined a few sets to create my birthday dino! The balloons and hat are from the set Tons of Fun and the dinosaur and sentiment are from the set Prehistoric Pals. I used the Zig Zag Stitched Circles SugarCuts die for the centre circle. 



Now, hop along with the SugarPeas and Guests, cuz we are offering up some freakin' awesome prizes for some lucky commenters!!
