Our  Krafty DT will take a bit of a break to enjoy 

the rest of the holiday season and

Good thing I'm good at keeping secrets - winky face!

12 Krafty Days of Christmas - Day SEVEN - Trendy T's and Trendy T's Icons

Hello - so happy you've stopped by to visit me today.

It's DAY SEVEN of the 12 KRAFTY DAYS OF CHRISTMAS

at KRAFTIN' KIMMIE STAMPS!

 

I get the pleasure today of sharing two of the fabulous

clear photopolymer stamp sets from July 2020 - 

TRENDY TEES and TRENDY TEES ICONS!

Here's the first card 

Isn't it fun how the icons can be used to customize the 

shirts and personalities of the adults and kiddos?  

The icons can be used in really fun way to make 

interesting backgrounds too (or tags)!

I also used one of the panels from the Pattern Parade stencil

for the main background (with Granite Grey ink). 

My second card uses the same stamp sets & images but this time

it's a Christmas version (the little snowglobe is from

Shake it Up! - Polar Bears. The snowflakes are from the icon set).

Once again I used one of the panels from the Pattern Parade stencil

and the Fresh Fields hybrid ink (also introduced in July) 

with Crisp Crimson hybrid ink (the December ink of the month). 

I love these two colors together for traditional Christmas. 

The main sentiment is from Holiday Wishes stamp set. 

and although the back isn't as exciting as the front

I wanted to show you how I finished it with the 

Handmade Sentiments stamp set (released in Nov 2020).

Each and every day  during the 12 Days Event, you can 

comment on our blog posts for a chance to WIN some

prizes - including some krafty $ to spend in the KKS Store!

You can also enter your own creation using one or more 

of the July 2020 products on the main blog for additional

chances at prizes.  So fun!  

 

Thanks for stopping in to visit me!  

Have a great krafty day!

KRAFTIN' KIMMIE STAMPS!

Challenge #560 is to use Sepia OR Black & White only. 

My card features the super cute Perky Penguins stamp

set w/a sentiment from Solid Holiday. 

That's not patterned paper in the background - I used 

three of the snowflakes from the stamp set to make it. 

I like how it turned out - hope you do too!

Maybe you'll decide to join us this week and share

your own fab creation using Sepia or Black &White.

You can enter as many times as you like - but remember

December Skrappy Challenge

Good morning krafty friends! 

It's December and that means it's time for a brand new

SKRAPPY CHALLENGE 

with 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! 

As soon as we have at least five people playing along, 

we'll be giving away a $10 gift voucher to the krafty shop as the monthly prize! 

You have until Monday, January 4th to enter and you can submit 

as many new creations as you like for more chances to WIN! 

Also be sure to share your designs on the 

Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps' Krafty Friends facebook page 

because we love to see your stuff! 

Do you love to journal?  Maybe you don't love to journal

but you love lists?  I love lists - there's just something so

satisfying about making a list for me. It seems to put

structure around my world if I have something concrete

to look at - especially if I can check things off as "DONE".

Kimmie recently started a journaling group and I've 

really been enjoying taking my list making to the next 

level of memory keeping and some journaling.  

Here's a page I made last night using the super cute

(and brand new) SAVE MY PLACE stamp set.

If this sounds like something that you would like to learn 

more about - here's the link to the 

Krafty Journaling Fun facebook group. 

But for now there's some more inspiration from 

the Krafty Team below. Click the links to be inspired!!

Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps Challenge #559 - Red & Green OR Purple & Blue

Welcome to my blog on this last Saturday of November 2020.

Does that sound as odd to read as it did for me to type?!

Saturday always brings a new weekly theme challenge

at KRAFTIN' KIMMIE STAMPS!

Our hostess this week is krafty gal Allison and she has

chosen a fun color combo theme for you. 

Challenge #559 is to Use EITHER 

Red & Green OR Purple and Blue. 

For my DT card I went with the Red & Green combo

and used the super CUUUUTE BELIEVE IN YOUR ELF

clear stamp set (colored with copic markers).

I so adore the look on this mischievous elf's face.

And the reindeer seems to be thinking "oh boy we're 

in for some ride" LOL.  This image is as fun to color

as it is to use on Christmas cards!  The photo 

doesn't show it very well but there's red foil 

cardstock around the base and on the word die. 

If you have been doing some Black Friday shopping 

you can also take advantage of a super sized 

FRUGAL FRIDAY in the KKS Shop.  LOTS 

and LOTS of great bargains for  you.  

Here's a link to help you get there - you're welcome! 

We sure do hope that you'll join us this week and 

enter your own Red & Green OR Purple & Blue

creation.  Maybe you'll make one of each!  You

can enter as many times as you wish - just link up a NEW 

creation each time.  There's a monthly prize of $25

for those who play along.  You might be the lucky

one who has some Krafty $$ to spend on yourself! 

So off I go for now! Hope you are having a great

weekend and enjoying some peace and good health

going into the Christmas month. 

Thanks for stopping by! Cyber hugs! D

Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps Challenge #556 - Fall or Winter Creations

Hello to all who are popping in to visit me today!

Happy weekend to you - hoping it's a good one!

It's time for another weekly challenge for 

KRAFTIN' KIMMIE STAMPS and I have

the honor of choosing the theme this week.

For Challenge #556 the theme is...

FALL OR WINTER CARD/CREATION. 

I love Fall and all the beautiful colors, hiking, college football

and of course Thanksgiving.  Winter also though has it's own

sort of beauty and is right around the corner (as is Christmas). 

I just couldn't decide at first which theme I really wanted 

so I'm leaving it up to you as to which one inspires you the most!

Our family will not be having the big turkey day celebration this

year due to COVID so I'm sending out more Thanksgiving cards

than usual to stay in touch.  What awesome time it was to

have the super adorable IT'S TURKEY DAY! stamp released

this year.  I've wanted a stamp set like this for while!

My card today is an easel card.  Here's the front

using a sentiment from Pumpkin Kisses

 and here's the card open

So now it's your turn. What season will you pick?

I can't wait to see your creations in the blog or in

the Kraftin' Kimmie Friends Facebook Group folder. 

You can enter as many times as you want - but each

creation must be a NEW and different creation. 

There is a monthly prize offered and every time you

enter it give you a shot at it.  Using KKS products 

doubles your chances.  Go get Krafty!!! 

Oh and before I go... check out the FRUGAL FRIDAY

specials for this weekend and the ink of the month

(which is my favorite - Salty Sea)!

Check out the other creations from my lovely Krafty DT teammates

too by clicking the links below!  Hugs! D

Challenge #555 and a Krafty Komeback - Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps!

Hello friends! Happy Halloween and last day of October 2020!

It will definitely be a different Halloween here thanks to COVID.

But...I'm not going to focus on that!  Instead I'm going to focus

on the FUN News that there is another Krafty Komeback happening

this weekend and I'm super excited about it!!

Before I get to that though - I also want to tell you about 

the new weekly challenge theme that is starting today too.

Challenge #555 theme is CUTE or SCARY! 

I'm not a Scary Halloween type person at all but 

I do love me some CUTE HALLOWEEN images/decorations.

My card features the TOO CUTE TO SPOOK! stamp

set and Ghoulish Ghosts stencil. Take a look

I used the KKS hybrid ink in Purple Petunia with the stencil. 

AND NOW!!!!! Here's a look at the KRAFTY KOMEBACK

stamp set called BELIEVE IN YOUR ELF!  

This particular stamp set made it's debut in 2012

in the rubber format.  It's been in the KKS retired 

vault for the past few years but now IT'S BAAACK

and in the fabulous photopolymer clear stamp version.

I love the look on the face of these elves.

Pure Joy and Pure confusion hahaha. 

This awesome Christmas stamp set will be in 

the KKS Shop for purchase this morning at 10AM EST!

You are gonna want this one - sooo much fun to color!  

Here's my card to share with you

This is literally how I feel every year as I untangle

the lights from the tree LOL!  

Hope you enjoyed my card - you can hop on down to 

the links below and see more inspiration from 

the krafty krew using this stamp set.

Did I mention it's in the KKS Shop now
