Kraftin' Kimmie October Release Sneak Peeks Day TWO - Christmas Cheer

Oh hello again! I'm glad  you're here today as it's
 Day TWO of the October NEW Release Sneak Peeks
at KRAFTIN' KIMMIE STAMPS!


Today we have another fabulous sentiment sentiment set
by artist Becky Pearce and it's all about "CHRISTMAS CHEER".
The set features EIGHT amazing sentiments that can be used as the
focal  point of your creations or they can be an addition to another
 image and also for the insides of your holiday cards!

Here's my Krafty Girl card to share with you today:
  I paired the cute little elf from last month's release called 
"Made by Elves" with one of these fabulous NEW sentiments.
I thought it was a good idea because it made me think of the 
movie "Elf" almost instantly (one of my favorite holiday movies).
The base paper (Sugarplum) and enamel dots/sprinkles are by
Doodlebug Designs (one of my favorite lines).

I'd like to enter this in the following challenges:
Papertake Weekly - Anything Goes
Penny's Paper-Crafty Challenges #248 "Anything Goes"
The Outlawz Challenges - Tuesday Color
(used red, white and green - twist is Christmas)


Thanks so much for stopping by to visit me today!
I'll be back tomorrow with another sneak peek for you
so stay tuned peeps! Hugs D

Kraftin' Kimmie October Sneak Peeks Day ONE - Happy Winter Days

Hello friends and welcome to a new month of 
clear stamp release peeks at 

If you thought last month's new release was great then
this month is going to absolutely blow your mind!! 
Seriously these NEW Releases are just that awesome!
In fact we have an extra day this month because of this!
Can you tell I'm excited by all those !!!!! - LOL? 


Day ONE of the October peeks features an adorable
little fox which can be used for winter or Christmas
called "Happy Winter Days"  by artist Becky Pearce.
This sweet little set features two main image stamps....that fabulous
fox  and pretty wreath....two Christmas ornament accessory stamps
 plus three coordinating sentiments!!


Here's my card to share with you today using this fabulous
set and the October KK sketch (which I flipped just a bit):

 Isn't this fox just the cutest?  
The papers are from Echo Park's "The Story of Christmas"
(which can usually be found in the KKShop but is out of stock currently).
I decided to leave the sentiment off the front because I was having a 
hard time deciding which one I wanted. So I put one inside instead :o). 

ALL of the NEW CLEAR October stamp sets will be available on
 Saturday night at the Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps Shop. 
 Be sure to join us for an hour of celebrating the new stamp sets, fun
 and prizes on Saturday evening at our LIVE ONLINE RELEASE PARTY
 Come hang out with Kimmie and the Krafty Girls!

The sentiment is from the NEW clear stamp set
called "Magic of Christmas" at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps.
It's just of several wonderful sentiments in the fabulous set.
I used a scalloped edge die to make the layers of my tree
and added ink distressing to each piece.  I also added some 
ink to the other panels and roughed them up a big (aka distressed).
This fun little wooden reindeer I found at my local craft store 
in the button section - wayyy tooo cute!!
