Time for a Spooky Krafty Komeback - and a Challenge!

Hello all! What an exciting day it is at KRAFTIN' KIMMIE STAMPS!

Today we are bringing back a super cute Halloween stamp set

by artist Cheryl Grant that was first introduced in 2013 and has

not been available for several years.  I was one of the lucky ones

to have purchased this in the original rubber form but now

it's available in the awesome clear photopolymer stamp version! 

Not only is this stamp set back in the shop there is also a 

special promotion going on this weekend called

MYSTERY MADNESS.  Everyone who participates in this 

will WIN A PRIZE! There are lots of good ones to win. 

One lucky winner will win their entire order for FREE.

To participate you must first purchase the  

YOU'RE A SCREAM stamp set (separately

or as part of an order - such as your FRUGAL FRIDAY purchase).  

Once you've placed your order 

at www.kraftinkimmiestamps.com

head on over to the KKS Krafty Friends Facebook Group

to find this graphic and claim a number.  Everyone who has 

a number will be a WINNER.  But be quick because

there are only 30 spots available!!!

Remember everyone with a number is a winner.  

  

Are you ready to see it???  It's called YOU'RE A SCREAM! 

I cannot express how very happy I am that this set is back!

I made two cards to share with you today.  Here's the first

using Lucas the Mummy and the new Gorgeous Gauze stencil

(and some of the new Halloween dots).  I colored him with 

prisma color pencils on kraft paper.  Inks used are the

NEW Tempting Tangerine and Purple Pansy hybrid inks 

My second card features Lexi the Spider.

That big ol' purple spider web around her is 

made with foil and the Creepy Cobweb stencil.

This is my first attempt at using foil with the 

Duo Transfer gel (no heat required).  I learned a couple

things in the process but am happy with how it turned out. 

I also used the new Halloween dots and Tempting Tangerine ink.

We've put together a fun krafty hop for you 

featuring this Komeback set and  promotion. 

There's also a new challenge this week and the 

theme is ANYTHING GOES!  Playing along in 

our challenges gives you a chance at the monthly

$25 gift voucher to spend in the KKS Shop! 

Come play along and show us how you're using 

your KKS goodies!  We love to be inspired by you too!

Thanks for stopping in to visit! Enjoy the rest of the 

inspiration from the krafty krew below! Hugs! D

Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps Challenge #545 - PURPLE!

Happy happy weekend! I hope it's a good one for you.

It's time for another weekly theme challenge at

KRAFTIN' KIMMIE STAMPS!

Challenge #545 is PURPLE!

Use a lot or a little - just make sure we can 

see some of the color purple on your creation. 

I LOVE the color purple but for some reason 

it's not the first color I reach for.  

As I started thinking of ideas all of a 

sudden lots and lots of them flooded my brain.

So....I might be using purple more often!

Have you seen the NEW Gorgeous Gauze stencil?

I am a little bit obsessed with this stencil and used

it for the background on my card.

That lovely gal is from the stamp sets Trendy Tees

and Trendy Tees Icons ("BFF"). 

This card is going to my BFF named Karen

(who by the way loves Purple).

The Purple Petunia KKS hybrid ink worked 

perfectly for the tone on tone look. 

 I added some of my favorite embellishments -

the Krafty Dots.  I'd love to tell you which ones

I used but I have so many of them and I lost track

of labeling them (oops).  But...you can find 

lots of of them in the KKS Shop while you are

shopping the Frugal Friday Specials - wink wink!

Please come play along with our  PURPLE

challenge this week.  We love to see what you make with 

the KKS goodies you purchase. And don't forget

that your creations often inspire us too!! 

Every month Kimmie selects a random winner 

from all the weekly challenges (a $25 gift code to use

in the KKS Shop).  If you wanna win you gotta play! 

Thanks for stopping in to visit! Hugs! D

 Hello crafty peeps! Today is DAY ONE of 

the sneak peeks previews for the August NEW RELEASE

from KRAFTIN' KIMMIE STAMPS!

I'm especially excited about today's stamp set because I've been 

wanting a Thanksgiving themed set with pilgrams and a turkey. 

I finally got my wish!! Whoo Hoo! 

Artist Neda Sadreddin has outdone herself with this one! 

Take a look for yourself at "IT'S TURKEY DAY!"

Crazy CUTE - right??!

I couldn't decide which image to use so all of them had

to be on my card LOL. 

You will get to see LOTS more awesome samples if you

go visit the links of the other Krafty DT down below. 

Make sure to leave a comment at each stop because

we do keep track of that and one lucky person will be randomly

August Skrappy Challenge

Hello and happy Tuesday! 

Can you believe it's August already?!

Truthfully I'm kind of wondering how the heck

that happened so fast LOL! But I'm not complaining

really as I love the hot days of August and I look

forward to fall being right around the corner. 

Oh but I digress because what I really wanted to share 

with you is that we have a new challenge for you at 

KRAFTIN' KIMMIE STAMPS.  

At the start of each month it's the SKRAPPY CHALLENGE.

What's this you might ask? 

Well...it's an opportunity for you to 

create and share with us a project that 

is really anything but a card.  

You can make and share a 3D project such as a 

tag, bookmark, box, ornament, or maybe some

ATCs or a scrapbook or planner spread.  

We love to see you use your Kraftin' Kimmie goodies and 

stretch your creative muscles to inspire us and others!

If we get at least 5 people to participate in the challenge this

month there will be a $10 prize to the Krafty Shop offered to

one lucky random winners. You have until August 31st to enter.

I am one of those people that still prefers real books over 

electronic versions.  Something about the weight of the 

book in my hands, the sound of the pages turning and the smell. 

To me that's just heavenly!  And I also hate to turn the corners of

my pages to mark my place and love to use bookmarks! 

So I collect those (kind of like I collect coffee mugs). 

I had this idea to make a book wrap/sleeve with a removable 

bookmark as a fun way to gift or share a book.  

The main image is from GIRL POWER.  The sentiments

scattered around the sleeve are from several other stamp sets

that feature readers, reading or bookworms.  

If you would like to get some more inspiration just pop

on down to the links and go visit some more of the krafty

krew.  We love when you visit us and let us know if you like

our creations!  So say hi while you're visiting!  

And then go get krafty and share w/us in the blog

or in the Krafty Friends Facebook Group.
