Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps - January 2018 Sneak Peek

Hello sweet friends and followers! 

Welcome to Day ONE of the first release of 2018

at KRAFTIN' KIMMIE STAMPS!

Before I tell you about this amazing stamp set being featured 

today I'd like to digress just a tiny bit and share some other 

news with you.  After four years of being a Krafty Girl

I decided to step down for a while and catch up on 

all the other things in my non-crafty life that have been 

needing more of my attention.  This was such a difficult

decision for me because I love, love, LOVED being a 

Krafty Girl and my wonderful Krafty teamies - but

sometimes real life has to take precedent and 

that doesn't mean I can't still sometimes play along!!

I'll always be one of Kraftin' Kimmie's biggest fans!

 So...back to this new release.

I'm delighted to be a guest designer for today's release peek

 which is an amazing winter set by artist, Annie Rodrigue

called STACEY SLAPSHOT!  I just adore her!

I'd love to enter this card in the following challenges:

KRAFTIN KIMMIE STAMPS NEW Release Feb 2017 BLOG HOP

Happy Sunday and Hello!

Today we have a really fun BLOG HOP 

for you showcasing the awesome NEW Release 

this month at KRAFTIN' KIMMIE STAMPS! 

Woohoo! It's finally here!
ALL of the FOUR new clear stamp sets for February
are now in the Kraftin' Kimmie Shop and

we're celebrating with a Krafty HOP!
So grab a nice hot beverage, sit back and relax while you hop
around and enjoy all the amazing creations from the
Krafty Design Team and Guests!!

Such a terrific month - especially for those who like masculine

images.  I think Kimmie and her artists have knocked it out of the park!

My card today features another fantastic guy image from

"SPORTY BOYS" which I've colored up like my

best friend's son's uniform so I can send it to him.

I didn't have any baseball papers so I made my own

using this terrific die cut panel (Your Next Stamp) as

my guide.  I cut the sentiment into individual words so 

it would fit on the large baseball (Simple Stories "So Rad" collection).

I did some more doodling to make the baseballs and added 

my favorite embellishment to use on cards - enamel dots.

Kinda fun huh?!  

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

Crafty Creations Challenges #334 - Anything Goes

Penny's Paper-Crafty Challenges #315 Anything Goes

Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps NEW Release PEEKS Feb 2017 and ANYTHING GOES CHALLENGE

Hello Hello Hello! 

Today at KRAFTIN' KIMMIE CHALLENGES

we have the ANYTHING GOES theme for
this week AND another PEEK at the awesome 

NEW RELEASE stamps for February 2017.

AND the  LIVE Online Release party is this afternoon!

Aren't you just loving the peeks so far? 

Today we have another awesome set for the boy atheletes
by artist Emilie Goulet called "SPORTY BOYS".

An awesome set with two boys and some
very fun sentiments!!!

Such a great set to use for boys - but I'd love to receive a
with one of them on it too!  I absolutely adore this set!

Here's my peek card to share with you today
 

This is my year of trying things that push me a bit

out of my comfort zone creatively.  I love the look

of doodling but always struggle with it.  I decided 

to just go for it and not to try and  make it "perfect".

It is, after all, doodling :o).

The other thing I don't do a lot of is CAS and leaving a 

a borderless card base.  With this card it was easy because 

I used a panel of patterned paper sized was 4 1/2" x 5 1/2" 

(Your Next Stamp) that looks very much like a card stock base. 

I popped up the main panel with a foam sheet (SugarPea Designs)

for more dimension.  I really do love how it turned out <3.

I'd like to enter my card in the following challenges:

Jo's Scrap Shack Challenge #175 "Anything Goes"

Crafting with Friends Challenge #36 - Anything Goes

Crafting from the Heart Challenges #145 "Anything Goes"

Sweet Stampin' Challenge Blog (2/11) - "Masculine"

As I mentioned above the challenge this week (and every Saturday 

during release weeks) is ANYTHING GOES! So create a card, scrapbook 

page or altered item with any stamp but if you use a Kraftin' Kimmie 

stamp you'll double your chances to WIN! 

Have some krafty fun and join us this week!

Please plan to join us for all the fun and excitement and prizes 

this afternoon beginning at 2pm EST! You can come hang out Kimmie  

and the Krafty Team at our  LIVE Online Release party! 

So enough from me for now.  Hop on down and go visit the 

rest of the Krafty Krew and Guests to see their peeks and

then come join us with your own creation for the 

ANYTHING GOES CHALLENGE this week! 

See you tomorrow for the Blog Hop! D
