All of KennyK´s rockin´ digi stamps AND clear stamp set are now available under one roof. Lots of newsletter and social media discounts & sales coming your way for 2016.

Here is a question from Kenny & Elena for you card makers: What stamp design or theme do you always seem to be looking for, but can never find? We want to know!

Come on in to the new KennyK Stamps and join the party!

Here are some of the clear stamp sets you can find in the shop. As you can see they all comes with some fun embellishments.

I have started coloring one of these beauties, her name is Team Spirit. As you may already know I love images with a lot of attitude like the steampunk- and gothic girls and the cool guys that KennyK have designed, but this cutie has really won my heart.

My card for today I made using the digi Football, one of KennyK´s cool guys.

I´ve colored him with my Distress Re-Inkers. The sentiment is from Magnolia and the design papers are AllStar from Prima. I´ve cut out the tickets and a banner from the design paper and used die cuts from Tim Holtz, Marianne Design and Cheery Lynn. Also added cheese cloth, ribbons and glossy accent.

Have a nice day!

La Spyda

Happy Halloween

Today I´m showing a Halloween card with La´Spyda from KennyK and you can find this beauty here.

I´ve made a frame like the inside of a book card and then decorated it with cob webs, spooky tree, bats and all other creepy Halloween die-cuts I could find in my stash.  

The background inside the frame is made with a Halloween embossing plate from Sizzix. I´ve used Distress Stain in Barn Door and Ripe Persimmon to color my paper with.

La´Spyda is colored with my Distress Re-Inkers in Ripe Persimmon, Black Soot and Hickory Smoke.

In this pic you can se the frame better.



I´m sure you haven´t missed the on going contest on KennyK Facebook. You can find how to play along and all the DT cards here.

Vicky started yesterday by showing her fantastic Orange and Black masterpiece and today it´s my turn. The theme for today is Vintage/Shabby Chic/Gothic Halloween and I made my card all in black and purple with a touch of metal. I colored up the beauty Lady Raven again, I think she is perfect for my Gothic Halloween card. 

I´ve used dies from Cheery Lynn, Tim Holtz and Memory Box. I´ve colored the image with my Distress Re-Inkers in the colors Dusty Concord and Black Soot.

 Here is a close up

I´ve used embossing powder for the tickets and crackel paint on details like the bat border and the fence. On the spooky tree and the compass I´ve used black embossing powder. The spider web are cut out in black cardstock and then colored with Distress Stain Brushed Pewter to get a silver metallic look. The metal skulls are originaly in a bronze color so I used a little Metallic Lustre to make them more silver metallic. The background behind the image are made with aluminum tape and my favorite embossing plate from Sizzix and black acrylic paint. The cheese cloth is colored with Distress Ink Seedless Preserves.

Tomorrow Lina will show you her fabulous project with a new exciting Halloween theme so don´t miss it.

Black & White

Welcome

This is a card I´ve made for a challenge in an event in my hometown. The local scrapbooking shop Engströms Artstudio arrange this event two times a year and I had the opportunity to participate this time. We were 94 crafters making projects and inspiring each other last weekend. The shop were open with lots of fun stuff to get inspired by and the DT girls showed us news and different scrapbooking techniques. I have also signed up for a Copic coloring class later in October arranged by Engströms Artstudio, I thought I would give it a try.

I´m SO happy because I was voted winner with this black and white card in the Saturday challenge. YAY! 

I will try my luck in the following challenges

Happy Everything

Hello everyone,

It´s time for a new challenge over at KennyKs Krafty Krew and I´ve made a Christmas card using gorgeous Bow (adult) to show you.

The challenge is

Anything Goes

 with the optional twist

Happy Everything

The card is made using dies from Tim Holtz and Magnolia. The sentiments in white on blue paper are stamps and I think they are from Panduro, but I´m not sure. They are embossed in white and cut out by hand. I´ve used white crackel paint on the trees, the snow flurries and the base. 
I´ve colored my image with Distress Re-inkers and embossed the Happy Christmas stamp from Crafty Individuals beside her and than used some white crackel paint again around the edges.

Our fantastic sponsor

Now it´s your turn to show us your best creations and any holiday occasion or cause for celebration would fit the twist. You must use a KennyK image but the twist is optional. The prizes are 3 digis of the random winner choice (5 if twist is included) and one digi each for Top 3 chosen by the design team. My teamies have lots of inspiration for you so welcome to KennyKs Krafty Krew and have a look.

Thanks for stopping by today

Rick St Dennis Pick of the Year Nominee

Hi all,

I´ve great news to share with you. I´m nominated for Pick of the Year at Rick St Dennis MFA. I´m very excited and at first I could hardly believe my eyes, I had to reed it over and over again just to be sure. I was voted Pick of the Week in february this year and now the EDT voted me Pick of the Month for february which makes me a nominee for Pick of the Year - YAY. The competition is hard, there are 12 other nominees, all fabulous, but I´m so happy and honored just to be a nominee. The competition is decided by voting and you can vote for your favorite in the comment section at Rick St Dennis MFA if you like. 

This is my project

You could easily see that I´ve gone crazy with all the metal tape on this one, but you know me by now, I love to work with metal tape on my cards. I´ve used Be Witching from Rick St Dennis, she is a Halloween image and she is colored with my Distress Re-inkers.

Have a great day

Hugs Lisa

Handyman

Hi All
I hope you are having a crafty weekend!

Now I´m going to show you a favorite of mine, Handyman from KennyK. I don´t know how many cards I´ve made using him but I think he is the most frequent used one in my KennyK collection. This card is made for an electrician so I tried to find some electrician stuff to put on my card, like the white cables and the piece holding them together down to the left. 

As usual I´ve used a lot of dies from my collection and I think this time they are all from Tim Holtz except for one Cheery Lynn die. Around the image I´ve used to different colors of embossing powder. Crackel paint is also a frequent used favorite and this card is not an exception. The image is colored with Distress Re-inkers. 

Have a nice day!

Hugs Lisa 

Happy Birthday Mr KennyK - Blog Hop

Welcome

This is a very special day for us at KennyKs Krafty Krew. Our very own and super talented Mr Kenny Kiernan is celebrating his 50th birthday today. My teamies and I like to congratulate him on his special day and honour him with a Blog Hop with our special made birthday cards. So follow the Hop and leave Mr Kiernan and my teamies lots of love. Not only will you see a lot of amazing artwork today, but you can also win awesome prizes. If you comments on all the blogs there is a chance of winning a special prize. You have until the 25th to comment.

Happy Birthday Mr KennyK

I have used Buggin Drummer for my card. The image is colored with my Distress re-inkers. I´ve used glossy accent on his eye glasses and on the big drum. I just had to use a little "metal" on this card as well so the wings and the letters (cut out with Tim Holtz dies) are made of aluminum tape and than colored with black acrylic paint and Metallic Lustre from Deco Art in the color Gold. I´ve used an embossing plate from Sizzix to create the pattern. The papers are from K-Design. I´ve used dies from Tim Holtz, Cheery Lynn, Marianne Design and Magnolia. The star border and the music border are embossed with three different colors of embossing powder. On the red number 50 and the red "k" I´ve used crackel accent. In the black pocket (Tim Holtz die) at the back of my card I´ve put a hand written birthday greeting to Mr Kiernan as well as inside the card. I put an arrow there so he won´t miss it.

Dies from Cheery Lynn, Magnolia, Tim Holtz, Spellbinder
Stamps (the bottles/sentiments at the bottom) from CraftyIndividuals
