If you are a Maker & like the design that I use for my project, follow the link that I share & I earn just a little bit of commission straight from HoopMama!

I LOVE HoopMama's designs & am really excited about this opportunity! I look forward to sharing more of my creations & sharing with you the link to the design! If you would like to check out HoopMama Designs now, please feel free to follow this link!

Sloth Designs - sloths are an obsession of our daughter & HoopMama just released some really awesome sloth designs!
Summer Designs - believe it or not, summer is just around the corner! I'll have some designs for kids & adults.
Hats - I've now done a couple of practice hats & am ready to get some done to sell to ya'll!
Cards - I'm going to start actively selling some of the cards that I've created (and continue to create) for different contests & design teams.

Kraftin' Kimmie New Product Launch!!

I am blessed to be apart of Kraftin' Kimmie's new product launch--Krafty Kolours!! I have to say, this is some pretty AWESOME ink! I love that not only is it permanent but it's also perfectly "juicy"! Because of the "juiciness", you get a wonderful fully inked image every time! And, even though it's permanent ink, it's still able to be used to get a watercolor effect!

I hope you enjoy these cards!





To use Krafty Kolours as watercolors, I recommend stamping the ink pad several times on something plastic like an acrylic block. Then, use a paintbrush or watercolor brush to pick up the color & apply it to your project.




On the top card, I used the new stamp set Magical Friends & colored it with my PrismaColor pencils. This is my first time ever creating my own background. I'm pretty pleased with how it came out! On the bottom card, I used the new stamp set Beautiful Blooms. I stamped with Stampin' Up Craft Ink in Elegant Eggplant & embossed with clear Ultra Thick Embossing powder. I then used my watercolor brush pen to pick up the Krafty Kolours ink from my acrylic block to apply it over my embossed image on the card.



We've got some super exciting NEWS to share with you today!
You may have heard that we've been working on something top secret for the last few months and it's FINALLY time that we can share it with everyone!!!
