 Welcome to Day 8 of the 
Kraftin’ Kimmie Stamps
Krafty Recap for 2024!


Each day from December 1st through 11th Kimmie is posting about several of the stamp sets and stencils that were released this year!  These items will be on SALE until Day 12 so you can grab them each day (some will more than likely sell out). 

Be sure to comment on the post in the Krafty Friends group and also over on the Kraftin’ Kimmie Instagram page for your chance to WIN a $100+ prize package from Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps!  TWO WINNERS during a LIVE in the Krafty Friends Facebook Group on Day 12!

It's Day EIGHT and today I’m sharing two new creations featuring the super fun stamp set called S'MORE FUNand another featuring the fabulous stencil called HERE FOR THE CANDY!

Here’s the first card.

I also finished the inside of the card 
with another of the images and sentiments. 

And here’s another creation. 
This one is a tag/gift card holder. 


The backside of the tag 
is where I put the sentiment 
(and another of the images)

All the images were stamped in 
Marvelous Mocha ink on
kraft paper and then colored
with copic markers. 

The Here For The Candy! stencil
is super fun to play with. 
I used it to make a Halloween card
but, I think it could also be used 
for a birthday party card (or invite)
or maybe even a Christmas card 
or scrapbook layout. 
Here’s what I made

Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps - 2024 RECAP Celebration!


Hello krafty peeps! I'm excited to be sharing
one of the special stamp sets and a 
sweet two-piece layering stencil for the 
4th day of December recap of the 
AHHHMAZING krafty goodies introduced in 2024. 

LOOK OUT WORLD! is definitely 
one of my go to stamp sets for all things
baby - expecting announcements, baby
showers, births, birthdays, scrapbooks,
gifts and tags.  
And...when this uber adorable stamp
set is paired with the super fun
two piece layering stencil called
New Baby, the cuteness is off the charts!!

I made two cards to share with you today.
Here's the first, made for my niece who
recently announced that she is expecting 
a wee little lass. 

The KKS hybrid ink colors that
I used with the stencil are: 
And 
After stenciling the colors, 
I then traced through the stencil
with a black midliner pen. 

I decorated the inside too with
one of the sentiments from the
set and the left over piece of 
the stenciled panel. 

And here is the second card that I made
for my cousin's son who is having a baby boy 
this next year.  


I love how you can use the little icons to
create a custom background and not have
to worry about matching paper colors with
how you want to color the main image. 

Here’s how I decorated the inside too

Guess what? 
and

The sale price is only good until December 12th
(and while supplies last - some of these
will likely sell out).  
Kimmie is holding all packages until
the Canadian postal strike is over.
You'll get all your goodies in one 
package and save the shipping costs
due to the bundling. That's a win! 

Thanks for stopping in to visit me today.
Krafty Hugs!

stencil and the 

This stencil is a two piece layered
stencil which is so fun to 
use a combo of inks and to 
combine inks with pastes and glitter. 
I love how gorgeous and 
elegant this looks! 

The second card features the 
RUGGED ROPE stencil.
 
The fun thing about this card is that 
I used the stencil to emboss the
rope pattern on the panel before

inking through it.

November Skrappy Challenge - Kraftin’ Kimmie Stamps

 Good morning, my Krafty Friends!

It's November and that means it's time for a new
Skrappy Challenge
at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps!  


The theme of course is ANYTHING BUT A CARD!

For this challenge you can make anything that strikes your fancy....except a card!  So design a new scrapbook page, bookmark, tag, altered item, planner page, art journal, ATC cards...whatever you like! 

Just make sure to include some Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps products and make sure it's a new creation!  

I recently had the opportunity to use an old
but "new to me" technique of using shaving cream
to make a unique background. 
Here are the tags that I made with the 
KKS re-inkers and the shaving cream.

Here's the tags featuring three of the
super chill and adorable snow peeps and 
their furry bunny friend from

The sentiment on this tag is
from SKATING FRIENDS! stamp set.

The sentiment on this one is from 
the new HOLIDAY POSTAGE! stamp set. 

And here's the last one that I made
with the tiniest bit of the swirl pattern 
(it was just so pretty I had to find a way
to use it all).
The background of the larger
tag base was made with the 
COOL CRYSTALS! stencil and
KKS hybrid inks.  The sentiment
is another of the fun options 
in the SKATING FRIENDS! stamp set.


That's a wrap for me this time.
I hope that you enjoyed the inspiration
that I've shared with you! 

*NEW - Our Challenges are now combined with the 
Saturday Challenge and the Christmas Challenge in the Krafty Friends FB group! So feel free to enter any or all of these - the monthly prize is a $20 voucher to the Krafty shop!!!  Woohoo!  To enter, be sure to upload your photo to the November album in our Krafty Friends FB group.

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 

I hope you liked my creations and that 
I've inspired you to play along with our
November challenge!
