Kraftin' Kimmie Stamp May Release Hop!

Welcome to the KRAFTIN' KIMMIE STAMPS May release blog hop. Let's get comfy, grab your favourite drink and enjoy the hop.

Today on the hop you will see amazing Krafty Creations featuring all of the stamps from this month's release. We started off the previews with the whimsical Moonlight Whispers set called CHASE YOUR DREAMS.

With mother's day past we start looking ahead to June and Father's Day. The WILD & CRAZY GUYS will be a must have for many of those special men in your life.

Our next set is tiny, but is makes such a BIG impact on your crafty creations. The ITTY BITTY FRIENDS includes seven cute Moonlight Whispers images in miniature form (approximately 1.5 inches). The tiny images are great for tags, small note cards and other fun projects.

Finally we have our HAPPILY EVER AFTER stamp set for those weddings and bridal showers that will soon be filling up your calendar. It is wedding season!

Yesterday, I shared my decorate box (Boitatou) using Lexi and Lucas from the HAPPILY EVER AFTER stamp set. Today I have the card that will go inside the box.

This box is great for those square cards with lots of layers and embellishments.

Here is a look at my card featuring sweet Lulu the Flower Girl. The paper is from Lilybee Designs Buttercup collection.

I hop you are enjoying all of the projects featured in our May Release blog hop. Remember to leave a comment on each of the blogs in the hop. One lucky Krafty stamper will win a gift card to the shop.

If you haven't already done so, head over to the Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps store shop. All of the new images are available. If you just love it all (like me), check out the Gimmie Kimmie Kits which feature all of the images from the May release at a discount. These are for a limited time only. You will want to check out the store and see all of the other goodies (paper, mounting supplies, embellishments) you can get.

Little Red Wagon # 242 - Wedding

It's time for another wonderful challenge over at Little Red Wagon.

This week Joanne is hosting our challenge and she would like to see projects with a WEDDING theme.

Although I don't have any weddings yet for this year, it is nice to have these cards ready in my stash. For my card I went with a simple design and chose a colour scheme that will work for most weddings.

Black and white with a pop of red.

The background is embossed with the Cricut D'vine Swirls embossing folder. The "Love" was cut with a great die from Your Next Stamp called the Journal Card Bracket Insert Die. The set also comes with the words smile, family and today.

Using a die from My Favorite Things, I cut out the heart in my white card stock. I also cut a heart from red card stock to layer behind the white. The red heart I ran through my Xyron and then applied Glitter Ritz microfine glitter to the sticky side.

When it was time to finish off the card, I quickly realized that I did not own any sentiment stamps related to weddings. Of course I could have used a simple congratulations, however I did find a sentiment in a stamp set from Your Next Stamp's called Dance Fhiona that worked rather well .

I hope that you will join this weeks WEDDING challenge over at Little Red Wagon. While you are there check the other Girlfriends projects to see more fabulous wedding inspiration. You will not be disappointed.

Have a wonderful Wednesday and happy crafting everyone!
