Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps - Oct 2019 NEW Release - Sneak Peek and Anything Goes Challenge

The Sneak Peeks of the October 2019

NEW Release from Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps

continues!  I'm super excited about the 

stamp set we have to show you today!

It's called Caroling Cuties by artist

Neda Sadreddin.  Love, love, love it!

It's also time for a new challenge theme

ANYTHING GOES

(as it always is during release week).

Just look at this adorable new set of
singing critters!  Wayyy tooo cuuuute!


Here's my card using this group of adorable

animals and the NEW Brick Wall stencil.

Oh I had so much fun making this card!  I added a couple

drops of the Wicked Black and Marvellous Mocha inks

to some embossing paste and put it through the stenciled 

background (made using Totally Taupe & Berry Bliss

KKS hybrid inks).  The texture IRL is awesome.

The singing critters were masked, colored with 

Prisma Color pencils and fussy cut. As a final touch 

I dotted some snow all around using a puffy paint pen.  

We sure do hope you play along with us for
the ANYTHING GOES CHALLENGE. 

We LOVE to see what you create with your

Kraftin' Kimmie stamps and other products.
You have until October 31st to enter your
own creation (must be a NEW creation)
for a chance to win some krafty kash to spend in the
the Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps store.   

Oh and don't forget that today at 2pm EST is the
LIVE ONLINE RELEASE PARTY with
Kimmie.  It's always a fun time with  Kimmie
and your krafty peers.  All the new products will
be released shortly after the Partay!

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

Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps Challenge #502 - Autumn Colors

Hello crafty followers and friends.

Pardon my excitement but... IT'S THE WEEKEND!!!

We are going to watch some college football

and will get to see both my kiddos.  

Today is the start of Challenge #502 at 

KRAFTIN' KIMMIE CHALLENGES

and the theme this week is "AUTUMN COLORS".

Here in Montana we seem to have skipped right by

the beautiful season of Autumn.  The leaves had

barely started to change colors and two nasty snow

storms plunked upon us.  I don't mind winter but 

I LOVE Autumn and am really sad to have missed
all the beautiful colors and cool mornings with
warmer days and sunshine - especially the colors. 

My DT card for this challenge features a gorgeous
gourd  that symbolizes autumn for me
(I LOVE pumpkins) - take a peek

The background is created with the Beautiful Burlap stencil

and Yummy Yellow, Totally Taupe and Pumpkin Patch inks.

Then I added some stems, leaves and a pumpkin from 

Grateful Pumpkins (on SALE this weekend) and a 

sentiment from Pumpkin Kisses right over the top of

the stenciled background.  Hope you like it!

Thanks so much for visiting me today. Hugs!

CAS Christmas Card

Hello!  Thanks for visiting me today.

Last weekend was World Card Making Day.

 I colored the beautiful and sweet image on

my card below that day, but didn't get the 

card finished until Wednesday.  

I very seldom make CAS or one layer cards, but

felt a calling on this one to give it a go.  The main image 

is from Santa Paws and the sentiment is from 

Holiday Wishes (both by Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps).  

  

A big bold sentiment and a colored main image = viola!

I really love how it turned out.  Hope you do too.

I'm entering this card in the following challenges:

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenges - CHRISTMAS (10/9/19)

Winter Wonderland Challenge - Merry and Bright

Addicted to Stamps and More! Challenge #362 "Make Your Mark"

Try it on Tuesday - Animal Magic

I also sent this in to Scrapbook and Cards Today for the WCMD 

 4:00 pm Challenge  - CAS.  

Thanks for sharing with me today! Have a lovely weekend. D 

Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps Challenge #501 - Black & White Only

Good happy weekend crafty friends!

Today is the first challenge of October

for Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps 

(where has the year gone?) and the theme for 

CHALLENGE #501 is "BLACK & WHITE ONLY".

I was intrigued and pushed a bit by this challenge

as I love color so much.  But hey...that's what 

challenges are for, to help us stretch our creative

muscles and try something new.  So, I looked 

through all my KKS stamps and realized that 

there were many that would work nicely for 

this theme but I settled on an image from 

POLAR PALS.  Take a look:

 The whole image is colored with copic markers in different

series of the blacks/greys.  The polar bear is colored with

the T series, the penguin bodies are colored with the

N series.  It actually looks very striking IRL. 

As a last touch I added 3 black dots from the 

SPOOKY DOTS series (also from KKS). 

I am also entering my card in 

The Rainbow Card Challenge 10 - Brazenly Black

October is a very special month at KKS

as you might see by the banner below.  TEN 

awesome years to celebrate.   This weekend

we have some awesome deals for you ! Hope you

find some krafty products you've been wishing 

for in this SALE.  

I hope you will join us this week for the challenge.

I can't wait to see how you interpret the B&W only theme!

Thanks for visiting me! Krafty hugs! D
