Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps - Krafty Komeback and a Challenge

Hello my crafty peeps! Thanks for popping in to visit my blog today.

Today is World Card Making Day! What a great way to start a new month!

As  you can see by the graphic above,  Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps 

will be celebrating this awesome occasion with some live 

videos, tutorials, a special challenge AND a SALE!! 

I hope that you will join us in the 

Krafty Friends Facebook Group for the fun. 

The challenge theme  for this week is GIRLY AND SPARKLY!

And this theme is absolutely perfect for this week 

because...... we are also announcing a Krafty Komeback

that is awesome for the upcoming Christmas Season!

A Krafty Komeback is a previously loved and retired stamp 

set that has been returned from the vault in the fantastic

clear photopolymer stamp format. 

You might remember this one from 2012 (wow!) 

it's called CHRISTMAS IS LOVE! 

Isn't it AWESOME?1 I was so excited because I missed 

out on it previously - and I LOVE it!

Here's my Girly and Sparkly card using one of the stamps

The look on her face is priceless - lol!

I hope that you'll join our challenge and 

a couple of the special events that will be happening

in the Krafty Friends Facebook Group too!

There is a monthly prize of $25 to spend in the 

Kraftin' Kimmie Shop for participating in the 

challenges (you can enter on the blog or in the

Facebook Group albums section).  Each and every

new creation you share for the challenges counts

entry counts as double!  Wanna Win - then come play!

OH and before I go...I mentioned a SALE above.

This is only good through the weekend - 30% OFF

a large selection of Fall, Halloween and Christmas

Made by Elves - December 2019

Hello friends!  Today I'm sharing a card I 

made with an image I colored during 

The Daily Marker 30 Day Challenge in November.

I actually finally got two of the colored images on a card

and I'll be sharing the other one on Saturday.

One of my all-time favorite stamp sets is called Made By Elves

by Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps.  It's just so fun and whimsical!

I absolutely love when I find papers in my stash that so perfectly 

work with the stamps I'm using!  I also found this adorable button 

in the bottom of a bin that was so fun for this card.  

Last night we watched ELF and this image makes me think

of Papa Elf for some reason LOL.  

Since I finally got this on a card I thought I'd share it

by entering in the following challenges.

Kraftin' Kimmie Challenges #479 Rainbow/Bright Colors

Hello friends! Hope you're having an awesome day!

This week we have a new month of fun challenges at

KRAFTIN' KIMMIE CHALLENGES.

The theme for Challenge #479 is to use Rainbow or bright colors.

I love to use bright colors on my creations. I googled colors of
the rainbow because I couldn't remember for sure how many there
were and found that some sources say there are 6 colors
and some say there are 7 colors which would be
ROYGBIP - Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo and Purple.

Some sources discussed whether indigo is truly a separate color,
or if its a combination (or blurring) of the blue and purple colors.
Very interesting stuff! I'm pretty sure that when I was in
school there was not indigio as a color (but that was a
very loooonnnnggg time ago LOL).

I chose to color up the super sweet duo from Troll Trouble

in the seven rainbow colors (my indigo is a tiny amount
in the boy troll's hair). I also used some of the fun
KKS rainbow enamel dots on my card.
Supah Supah cute - hope it makes you smile!

I'm also entering this card in these great challenges too:
Jo's Scrap Shack Fun Friday Challenges #FFC280 - Always Anything Goes
Cute Card Thursday Challenge #580 Anything Goes
Time Out Challenges #134 - Playful
(What's more playful than a couple of colorful trolls with candy?)

Hello! So happy you're here

to visit me for DAY ONE of the

We are starting off with not one but two

super cute camping stamp sets by the

fabulous artist Cheryl Grant. 

There's GOOD IN THE WOODS

and GOOD IN THE WOODS, ACCESSORIES

Oh my goodness I just love these two 

fabulous sets! They're perfect for spring & summer. 

I used a stamp from each set on my card today as well as

the Starburst Stencil with Bubbly Blue hybrid ink.
This card reminds me so much of my
daughter-in-law who loves camping and sitting 

around the camp fire (especially if there's smores).  

The layout for my card is based on the April KKS Sketch

(below) which I flipped and changed the main shape.

I'm also playing along with the following challenges

Try it On Tuesday - Use a Stencil or Two

Addicted To Stamps And More! Challenge #336 - Anything Goes

I hope you'll come back to visit me tomorrow and

A CUPPA THANKS

Happy Wednesday crafty friends!

I'm sitting here sipping on my first cup of coffee

and getting ready for the work day.  

Feeling especially grateful to the wonderful

person that came up with coffee - what a lifesaver!

I made a coffee related card to espresso my

love of coffee (see what I did there?) 

The sweet stamp set is called 

Sprinkles - Coffee and Tea by Your Next Stamp

Sometimes I feel like that's how I want to drink

my coffee - just dive right in LOL.

I'm sharing this card in the following challenges. 

Your Next Stamp Fun Friday Challenge #110 - Pastel Colors

Guest Designer - Krafty Chicks Challenges #446 - Shades of Green Only

Howdy!  Hope you're having a wonderful day!

This is my second week of Guest Designing for

the Krafty Chicks Challenges.  Such an honor

to be playing with the talented Chicks!

The theme for this week -  Challenge #446 

is Shades of Green Only.

My brain literally went straight to shamrocks and

St. Patty's Day because of the holiday (there is not

one tiny little bit of Irish in my DNA), but you could 

also interpret this as Spring or nature (trees/grass etc.)

The trick is that we ONLY want to see shades of green

- no other colors except neutrals and skin tones. 

I found this Doodlebug Designs paper in my stash

and colored and die cut some adorable Silly Monsters from 

Your Next Stamp for my Shades of Green card.

I stamped each image in a light grey ink instead

of the traditional black for a no-lines look.  

Aren't they funny?!

I'm also entering this card in the following challenges:

Your Next Stamp (YNS) Fun Friday Challenge #109 - Patterned Paper

Jo's Scrap Shack Fun Friday Challenges FFC#272 Always Anything Goes

Crafty Gals Corner: Challenge #187 Add a Shamrock/Clover

I hope that you'll decide to play along with us this 

week and show us how you interpret the

Shades of Green Only challenge. 

The Krafty Chicks DT have some

really awesome green creations to share

with you so go check them out too!  

Thanks for visiting me today!  Hugs! D  

Kraftin' Kimmie Challenges #471 -- Use TWO stamps

Hi there and thanks for stopping in to visit my blog today!

We have a new theme challenge for you this week at

KRAFTIN' KIMMIE STAMPS.

For Challenge #471 we want to see you use two main

stamped images  on your creation.  These can be from 

the same set or two different sets.  

Pull out your Kraftin' Kimmie stamps and pick two
to use on your creation.  We can't wait to see what
you make to sure with us.  It doesn't have to be a
card.  Your creation could be a scrapbook page,
an altered item, a 3D project or an ATC (just to
name a few options).  Just follow the theme
and you're eligible to be entered into the monthly
draw for a fabulous $40 gift card to the KKS Shop!

For my DT card today 

I picked two of the adorable main images from 

CUDDLES THE PUPPY for my card - take a peek:

The images are colored with copic markers.  The fun, bright 

papers and doily are from  Doodlebug Design.  

The enamel dots are from KKS RAINBOW DOTS collection.  

My favorite embellishment to add to cards most

definitely has to be enamel dots.  What's yours?

I'm also entering my card in the following challenges:
