Kennedy Grace Creations Grand Opening + Blog Hop


Hey folks! Wow it has been a long time in coming but today is our official GRAND OPENING!  We are so exited for today!! We have been planning this for a very long time and can't wait to show you.  We have lined up some of the MOST AMAZING talented ladies in the crafting world on our hop today!  We hope you will enjoy all the amazing projects they will be sharing!

Our Newest release is now available in the Kennedy Grace Creations Online Store.




 I am here to show off the brand new Beautiful Blooms Sweet Rose stamps set. It's such a GORGEOUS set with amazing detail and comes with lots of different sentiments.

For my card today, I stamped my image on watercolor paper and heat embossed it with white embossing powder. You could use any watercolor you wanted, but I really wanted the heavier feel of Gansai Tambi Watercolor. I thought pinks and teal would be fab, so I went with that! I kept the colors pretty loose and let the water do most of the work. Easy peasy.


Instead of black, I used a grey ink on the sentiment and diagonal strip background. I wanted to make sure the focus stayed on that fabulous flower. Also, because shiny things make me ridiculous happy, I added some silver heat embossed cardstock at the top and bottom of my panel.

To finish off my card I added a couple of the clear sequins from the new At The Beach and Vintage Tea Cup Sequin Mixes. Both of these mixes are great peeps! Although I just used the clear ones in each, the color combinations in them are awesome!

To celebrate our GRAND OPENING - Kennedy Grace Creations will be giving away 3 random winners $25.00 gift certificates to our Online Store.
