It’s saturday and we have a challenge for you over at Kraftin’ Kimmie Stamps!
Here is my card with the shrinked flowers as I promised monday when I had my Shrink Plastic tutorial. This is what it become. I added a small ring to all the flowers (as I made holes in them), and then placed them on green sewing thread and put on my card. A small dot of glue behind every flower to hold them in place.
We always enjoy your creations so be sure to submit them so you can have a chance to WIN a $20 gift card to the Shop! In keeping in line with the rest of our challenges (Wonderful Wednesday and our NEW Krafty Scrappy Challenge), we will be drawing one winner per month from all Saturday Challenge entries to win a $20 gift card! You can enter as many times per month as you’d like. Now create a card, scrapbook page or altered item with a Kraftin’ Kimmie Stamp or any other stamp and be sure to use our THEME Flowers as a starting point for your creation. You will have one week to get your entries in at Kraftin’ Kimmies blog.
Have you joined the Kraftin Kimmie’s Krafty Friends fb group? It’s the best place to keep up with all of the goings on as well as sharing YOUR creations and getting inspired by other Krafty Friends’ creations.
Som jag utlovade i måndags när jag visade min tutorial på Krymmplast så har ni här mitt kort som jag gjorde sedan. Eftersom jag gjorde hål i alla blommor kunde jag sätta i en ring och sedan trädde jag upp dom på grön sytråd som jag vek fyrdubbel. För att hålla blommorna på plats så sitter en liten limdutt bakom varje blomma.
Häng med på veckans utmaning – temat är Blommor! Du kan använda vilka stämplar du vill, men givetvis dubblas vinstchanserna om du använder stämplar från Kraftin Kimmie Stamps. En vecka har du på dig att länka in ditt bidrag i Kimmies blog.
ENG: Hi! Today I have made a tutorial about Shrink plastic for Kraftin’ Kimmie Stamps.
It’s a fun and easy way to do tiny decorations matching your stamped image!
You’ll find shrink plastic in different colors, but I think most common is white, clear and black. I’ve used white in my tutorial.
SWE: Hejsan! Idag har jag gjort en tutorial om krympplast för Kraftin’ Kimmie Stamps.
Krympplast finns i många olika färger, men jag tror dom vanligaste är vit, transparent och svart. Jag har använt vit i min tutorial.
ENG: First – sand paper your shrink plastic. Especially if it’s really blank. Sand in a criss cross pattern. When you do this it’s easier to get the colors stuck on the plastic if you would like to paint it. As the plastic shrinks LOTS you won’t notice these scratches when you are ready. Sometimes you can find shrink plastic that are pre sanded.
SWE: Börja med att sandpappra ditt krympplastark åt båda håll (korsmönster). Om man sandpapprar så är det oftast lättare att få färgen att fästa på plasten, speciellt om det är en mycket blank yta från början. Vissa krympplastark kan faktiskt vara sandpapprade från början när man köper dom. Du kommer inte märka av reporna eftersom det krymper massor sedan.
ENG: Stamp your images! StazOn is one of the best ink pads for this, as it dries fast even on plastic. But note – if you want to use solvent based pens or markers to color your image, those will also solve the black line so be careful.
SWE: Stämpla dina motiv med StazOn på krympplasten. Den torkar fort även på plast. OBS! Vill du färglägga med alkoholbaserade pennor så tänk på att dessa löser upp stämpellinjerna om du använt StazOn. Man får vara extra försiktig eller trixa lite med en annan dyna eller andra pennor.
ENG: I decided to go for a bunch of flowers too.
SWE: Jag drog till med att stämpla en bunt blommor oxå.
ENG: Fuzzy cut your images. As it shrinks, the white area around it also shrinks so you don’t have to be pitty.
SWE: Klipp ut motiven du stämplat. Du behöver inte vara petig, eftersom även det vita runtom krymper.
ENG: All cutted out.
SWE: Allt urklippt.
ENG: I colored mine with my polychromos pencils.
SWE: Jag färglade med polychromos pennor.
ENG: If you want to hang them up – do holes. And make those bigger then you think looks nice – as the holes also shrinks!
SWE: Om du vill kunna hänga upp dina dekorationer så gör hål i dom nu. Ett hett tips är att göra mycket större hål än du tror och tycker är snyggt, hålet krymper nämligen oxå.
ENG: Use something that can take heat to hold your pice in place when you are going to shrink it. The pink underneith here are a heat mat, so it can take the heat. Make sure you don’t burn something.
SWE: Använd något som du kan hålla fast din bit med. Den rosa mattan jag har under här är en sån som tål värme (typ teflon-bakplåtspapper fast för pyssel). Se upp så du inte bränner något utan använd ett underlag som tål värme.
ENG: A short video showing how fast the piece shrinks if you use your heat tool. The instructions often say you shall use the owen, but this is much faster and you don’t forget about your pieces.
Watch your fingers!
When it shrinks it also curls – don’t worry! Let it be, and continue to heat until it shrinken as much as it can. Then stop the heating.
If the piece is a bit warped just press a acrylic handle on top of it right away when it’s still warm. There you go – shrinked and ready.
(Sorry for my text in the video is in Swedish, but the reason is that there is so many english videos and not so many in Swedish. The text under the video window tells the same in English.)
SWE: Svenska texter i videon så dom behöver jag inte översätta.
ENG: Lots of shrinked pieces! To tell you the secret… my camera went crazy and the first photos was gone, and so was the video. Had to do everything twice!
SWE: Massor av små krympisar. OK – oss emellan, kameran gick bananas och alla mina foton + videon från första omgången försvann, så jag fick lov att göra allt igen.
ENG: Here you can compare how much they’ve shrinked. Pretty much huh!?
The stamp set is: Buds & Blooms from Kraftin’ Kimmie Stamps.
SWE: Här kan du se hur mycket motiven faktiskt har krympt! Ganska mycket va?
ENG: And so did these!
The stamp set is: A Purr-fect day from Kraftin’ Kimmie Stamps.
Woohooo! The new Kraftin’ Kimmie Stamps are out, and we are doing a blog hop!
Today I have a playful layout of my card. I found some buttons and die cuts that matched the beach theme so I added those. I added glossy accent over her eyes to get the glass effect.
Do you remember them all? Look what a lovely bunch of beach themed stamps. All loaded in the webshop. And guess what? Kimmie has launched a brand NEW website! To celebrate the new Krafty Shop, there is gifts for YOU! EVERY order placed this weekend will receive a special little extra something in their package!

Today we have the last peek day for you + a challenge.
Diamonds on your birthday? Yes please! How in earth do you color gems? I had to google some pics and then I just gived it a try. And as they are shiny I added a layer of glossy accent and I think that finished them off pretty well.
