Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps Challenge #570 - Something Yummy!

Happy Saturday crafty friends!

It's time for another weekly theme challenge at 

KRAFTIN' KIMMIE STAMPS!

For Challenge #570 we'd like you to use the

theme of "SOMETHING YUMMY" .

Each and every Saturday we post a brand new challenge 

for the week and you are welcome to enter as many times as you like.

These must be NEW creations and you are welcome to use any stamp, 

however, using Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps products will earn you double entries!

The monthly prize is a $25 voucher to the Krafty shop!!!

We can't wait to see what you come up with!

There's so many images that have food, cooking, baking

drinks (coffee, tea, wine) to choose from. 

My card features the newly released 

Baking Bonanza stencil and one of the images

and sentiments from Happiness is Homemade! 

I used the stencil to make an embossed background.

Then I added some Cosmic Shimmer in Sunset Orange

with the touch tip applicator through the stencil on top 

of the embossed areas.  After that dried I sponged

some Sandy Shores KKS hybrid ink over the top of the

entire panel.  The shimmer still shows through but it's 

much more subtle (see photo below). 

You can see that I also used the stencil in the usual

way to ink another layering panel.  The image is 

colored with a combo of copics and Prisma color pencils

(and a touch of white Sharpie paint pen). 

So that's all from me today. Now it's your turn to 

create something with our theme and join

the challenge.  Full details can be found on the 

Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps main blog (click here). 

Don't forget the new Frugal Friday Specials are loaded

in the KKS Shop too. Some great deals to be found!

Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps - February Hop and Shop!

Hello friends! Happy Valentine's Day!

Today is the Blog Hop celebration for the

February NEW RELEASE at 

KRAFTIN' KIMMIE STAMPS!

What a great month of new goodies it's been.

If you've been following us each day, I'm sure

you'd agree!  Do you have a favorite stamp set

or other product? I'd love to hear which one!

My favorite is ALL of it!! 

ALL the new goodies are now in the KKS Shop

and ready to hop on into your shopping cart.  

But before you shop we'd love for you to hop along

with us today and see some more krafty inspiration.

 So make yourself comfy and cozy and hop along with us!

My hop creation features another of the super cute images

from LULU AND FRIENDS - which is our 

krafty komeback feature set this month - 

and a couple of the KKS exclusive baking chipboard 

goodies (from the February ADD ON Bundle).

I have several photos to show you of my 

Peek-A-Boo Window card.    

The sentiment in the peek-a-boo circle is part of the

LULU AND FRIENDS set.  The sentiment on the 

bottom is from the new HAPPINESS IS HOMEMADE

stamp set.  I used Stickles glitter glue and Liquid Pearls

in Hot Chocolate to decorate the chipboard cupcakes. 

The next three photos show images from 

HAPPINESS IS HOMEMADE in the top cut out.

A One... 

And a TWO...

and a THREE. Ta-Dah! It's like magic. 

This sweet little baking Lulu goes so well 

with the Happiness is Homemade stamp set,

the Baking Bonanza Stencil and the baking

chipboard pieces and washi tape in the 

February Add On Bundle!  

There's another adorable little Lulu stamp that you

might also want to know about. It's called TUTU Sweet! 

She's our special freebie this month with any order 

that is over $65 CAN before taxes and shipping).

Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps New Release Peeks Final Day & Anything Goes Challenge

Hello friends! Happy weekend to you!

I sure hope wherever you are is warmer than

what we are experiencing in Montana.  

Thursday evening it was -36 degrees F w/wind chill. 

It's supposed to be warmer today but barely above 0. 

The cold weather makes for a great excuse to stay 

inside and get crafty!  Speaking of which...

it's the final day of the February release sneak peek 

previews for KRAFTIN' KIMMIE STAMPS 

and the start of a new weekly challenge. 

The theme is ANYTHING GOES (as it always

is during release week).  So link up and join

us this week - we love to see what you make!

I can hardly wait to show you the stamp set for the final 

day of our peeks.  It's by our own Krafty Gal artist 

Allison Cope and it's called FUNNY FISHES

Just look at all these fun images and punny sentiments!!!

As soon as I saw this set my brain immediately went

to an aquarium.  Never having made such a thing

before it was quite a crafty trial and error endeavor

but I'm happy with how it turned out.  

I used some silver foil card stock around the edges 

and a piece of window sheet to create the front panel

of the aquarium.  I colored the bottom piece with a 

black copic marker for the base. 

The scene inside was created with the new 

Aqua Adventure hybrid ink.  I splashed a few drops of

the ink refill on my gelli plate and then smooshed my

paper on that.  When that dried, I sponged over the

Rocky Road stencil (released last month) toward

the bottom and lightly about half way up the panel. 

Then I took the mini ink cube and just randomly

pressed it down on the panel.  As a last step I 

spritzed a bit more of the ink on the gelli plate

and misted it with water and put the paper back

down on it.  The images and rocks on the bottom

were all stamped in the Granite Grey ink and then

colored with copic markers.  I used some Nuvo

glitter spray in green apple on the chipboard

pieces  (part of the special February Add ON bundle) 

to make it look like the floating greenery in the tank.

It's really shimmery in real life but unfortunately 

just did not photograph well at all - quite bummed!  

Here's a closer look from a different angle.  

Here's a look too at the special February Add On bundle

It's a great compliment to this month's stamp sets and themes. 

ALL the new products and special add ons will be available

later today in the KKS Shop following the 

LIVE ONLINE RELEASE PARTY. 

The fun starts at 2pm Eastern - hope you'll join us! 

Thanks for popping in to visit today.  I  hope you will visit

the rest of the Krafty DT (links below) and see what they've

created too.  Leave us a comment to tell us what you

like about our creations or the new products.  

One lucky person is chosen from each release

comments to receive some krafty $$ to spend in the

Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps - February 2021 Sneak Peeks - Day Two!

Hello again! Welcome back to Day Two of the

KRAFTIN' KIMMIE STAMPS

February 2021 New Release sneak peeks! 

I'm super excited about the stamp set today.

It represents something I love to do - bake sweets! 

It's called HAPPINESS IS HOMEMADE! by

artist Neda Sadreddin.  It's so sweet you'll 

have a very difficult time resisting it!

Here's my card to share with you today.

I started with a slimline die cut panel and 

used the new AQUA ADVENTURE ink and

the BAKING BONANZA stencil.  Then I added

the fussy cut images and some of the awesome

chipboard accents from the February Add On Bundle.

This chipboard is really easy and fun to decorate 

and embellish.  I used a variety of liquid pearls. 

stickles, ink, nuvo drops and opal polish. 

I'm also sharing this card in the following challenges:

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenges - Make a Slimline Card

Happy Little Stampers -February Anything goes with Dies Challenge

Love to Craft Challenge Blog - LTCCB #55 February Anything Goes

Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps - February 2021 Sneak Peeks - Day One!

Hello, hello! I'm happy you're here to visit me today.

Today is the first day of the sneak peeks of

the fabulous February New Release for 

KRAFTIN' KIMMIE STAMPS!

Over the next 4 days we will be sharing peeks of 

the new stamp sets, stencils, ink and bonus add ons.

I hope you're ready to get started because here we go!

Our first stamp set is a Krafty Komeback set by artist

Cheryl Grant called LULU & FRIENDS!

This was originally released in rubber and we are excited

to bring it back in the awesome clear stamp version. 

You are gonna love this super sweet set - take a look!

As you hop around today to all the blogs of the DT

you'll see peeks of the gorgeous NEW hybrid ink color

AQUA ADVENTURE, two NEW awesome stencils

BAKING BONANZA and SMOKIN' SQUARES 

and some peeks of the February Add On Bundle!

Here's my card to share with you today

Do you see that very subtle square shape around

Lulu and her froggy friend?  I first used the solid

largest square from the SMOKIN' SQUARES stencil

to put over the image and then used the 

 Rainy Day stencil  over the top of that to get a 

nice masked off square shape.  Then I used the normal

part of the stencil and very lightly sponged ink

back around the edges.  I think it almost makes the 

image look like it's popped out a bit.  That beautiful

color of ink is the NEW AQUA ADVENTURE.

This and the other new products will be available for  

purchase this weekend after the LIVE Online Release Party

at 2 pm Eastern on Saturday, February 13th. 

Come join us in the Krafty Friends Facebook Group

for the fun with Kimmie! 

Tomorrow I'll be back with another peek for you. 

For now check out the links below for the Krafty DT

and go see what they have to share with you too.

Remember to leave a little love at each stop because

one lucky person could win some Krafty $ just for 

leaving a comment! Plus it makes our day to hear from you!

Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps Challenge #567 - LOVE

Hello friends! Happy Saturday!

challenge at KRAFTIN' KIMMIE STAMPS?! 

The theme for Challenge #567 is.... LOVE!

How timely is that with Valentine's day right around the corner?

Usually I'm scrambling at the last few days to get my cards

done for this holiday.  If you are like me this is a great 

opportunity to jump in and join our challenge.

You can enter as many times as you like (as long as each 

entry is a new creation). We LOVE to see what you make! 

For my creation today I used the Chubby Cloud stencil

(with Bubbly Blue ink) and a sentiment from 

Together is Better! to make two quick, punny love cards.

This was a perfect design to use up some of my

extra die cut hearts that were scattered on my desk. 

I'd like to share my cards in the following challenges too:

Shopping Our Stash SOS 4438 "Love is in the Air"
