Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps - Challenge #687 - Snow and/or Stencils

Good morning and welcome to our 

New Monthly Challenge

at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps!

 Are you ready for another krafty challenge to inspire you and help get your creative mojo going? We've got some fabulous prompts for you and can't wait to see what YOU create!

This month our challenge themes for you are:

Snow and/or Stencils

You can choose one theme or combine them!
Enter as many times as you like all month long!
It's a Choose Your Own Krafty Adventure!

Oh boy what fun challenge prompts this month!

I love playing with the KKS stencils, so I made

two cards this time to share and inspire.

My first card actually combines both of the

challenge prompts because I used the 

gorgeous Let It Snow! layering stencil. 

The cute little critter and sentiment is 

from the November Stamp of the Month

called You Make Everyday Cool!

This adorable stamp set is FREE when you spend $75CAN before shipping and tax on an order in the Krafty Shop during November while supplies last!

The second card features the newly released 

HOLIDAY ORNAMENTS layering stencil

with some gorgeous, glittery, Astro Paste 

and a very cute critter.  

This card uses three different stamp sets too. 

I started by shading a piece of white

Hammermill cardstock with Purple Pansy

and Tranquil Teal ink.  Then, I used the

first layer of the stencil to color in the ornaments

with the same colors and added Gorgeous Grape 

to make the tops of the ornaments. 

To get the sparkle, I used the second layer

of the stencil with Astro Paste in 

Tropical Tango and Prom Queen. 

Swoon! I love the sparkle!

That ADORABLE racoon is from the

Snowball Fight stamp set and the gift

that its holding is from Pawsome Holidays.

The middle panel has a stamped pattern 

using two of the little accessory stamps 

from the Snowball Fight stamp set (I used 

Gorgeous Grape for the stamping).  

 And last but not least, the sentiment 

is from Mix and Match Holiday Sentiments. 

I hope you liked my creations and that 

I've inspired you to play along with our

November challenge!

Every month we post a brand new challenge with a choice of themes to choose from, and a mid month inspiration post with even more creative ideas! You are welcome to enter as many times as you like.

These must be new creations and you are welcome to use any stamp, however, using Kraftin' Kimmie Stamp products will earn you double entries!

Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps - Oct 2019 NEW Release Sneak Peek -DAY ONE

Hello! Welcome to my blog!

I'm happy to be sharing a card I made today

for DAY ONE sneak peeks of the October 

NEW RELEASE at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps.

Winter is coming (are you a GOT fan)? and that

means snow - lots and lots of snow - in Montana.

I'm a total sucker for snowflakes even though 

I don't like to be out in the cold.  I love to watch the

snow drifting down while I'm snuggled up warm & cozy.

This new stamp set called SNOWFLAKE KISSES 

by artist Melissa Baker-Nguyen is simply stunning!

To make this card, I first created the background

with Pretty in Pink and Bubbly Blue inks sponged

through the NEW Perfect Plaid Stencil.  Then I 

randomly stamped a variety of the snowflakes all 

over it using the NEW Stormy Sky ink (this is 

going to be one of my all time favorite blue inks!), 

and added one of the sentiments from the set.  

I absolutely LOVE how it turned out.  Hope you do too!

Thanks for visiting me today.  I'll be back with another
sneak peek on Saturday.

I hope you will join us on Saturday for the LIVE
ONLINE RELEASE Party with Kimmie!
The fun starts at 2pm EST.

 Hugs! D

Super Cool Pals

Hello friends!  How's the weather in your neck of the woods?

Today was very cold but no snow.  I'm hoping that the

snow holds off for a couple more weeks until both my

kiddos are home for the holidays.  I'm generally not a fan

of snow UNLESS it's at Christmas AND I can build a

snowman.  Speaking of snowmen check out this adorable

fella from the UBER Cute stamp set called SUPER COOL PALS

from Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps.  I LOVE this set!

Those sweet sparkly snowflakes were made using the brand 

spankin' NEW Sparkling Snowflake Stencil  and some 

 BoBunny glitter paste in Torquoise.  The strip of snow along 

the bottom was made using Liquid Applique (all can be found in    

the Kraftin' Kimmie Shop  - follow the links to get your own).   

I'd like to enter the following challenges with this card:

We have our decorations up and I've done a little on-line
shopping but still need to do more and will be making

Kind of sad really - but so looking

Whimsical Gnome Santa

Hello friends and followers! Happy Sunday!

Whimsical Gnomes was one of my favorite stamp sets

released this year from Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps. 

I decided to color one of the adorable gnomes up like

a Santa gnome and make a fun Christmas card.

I was kind of proud of myself because I used two 

die cut trees and the snow hills that I had laying on my 

table from a previous card.  I love when I actually use 

some stash and/or extras laying on my craft desk!  

One of the trees has an embossed pattern on it which I

was going to leave just as it was and then somehow I

got black ink on my finger and on the tree.  So...

then I grabbed a sponge dauber and added a little green

ink to cover up the black boo boo.  Crafters are so

good at thinking of plan b :o).  The sentiment

is from "Shake It Up!" also by KKS.

This card is being shared on the 

KRAFTIN' KIMMIE STAMPS BLOG

as my DT card for 12 days of Christmas.  

I would also like to enter this in the following challenges:
