Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps - Challenge #656 "Winter"

  Good morning and welcome to another

fabulous and fun Saturday Challenge

at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps !

Are you ready for another fun and krafty challenge to inspire you and help get your creative juices flowing?

We've got some fabulous ideas for you 

and can't wait to see what you create!

This week, Krafty Girl Delphine is your hostess and her challenge theme for you is: 

WINTER!

Winter arrived in Montana for a few days last week and I was not ready! It was just enough to give us a warning and tell us to get ready, LOL.  I don't mind snow but only if it's close to Christmas!!  

I have fond memories of playing in the snow with my kiddos and making snow people with my siblings.  It's fun, but I'm just not ready...yet! 

This fun stamp set called FROSTY FRIENDS with the WOOLY WINTER stencil helps me get in the mood though - and it's perfect for this week's theme!  

I guess you could call this a mixed media card.  There's snowtex on the bottom section (it has great sparkly texture).  There's some stickles and some white gel pen.  To make the background, I used a tone on tone effect by using Purple Pansy ink on purple cardstock through the stencil.  Then, I traced around each of the icons with a white gel pen to give it more dimension. I'm kind of digging how fun this turned out.  It (almost) makes me want to go build a snowman! 

BONUS - this stamp set and stencil that I used are on SALE right now until Kimmie gets back from her vacation.  Scoop it up and be ready for making lots of winter cards while you are warm and toasty inside. PLUS there are LOTS of other stamps, stencils and inks on sale too! It's like an early Christmas present to yourself.  I promise I won't judge hahahaha!

Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps Challenge #655 - Inspired by a Song or Movie

  Good morning and welcome to another

fabulous and fun Saturday Challenge

at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps !

Are you ready for another fun and krafty challenge to inspire you and help get your creative juices flowing?

We've got some fabulous ideas for you 

and can't wait to see what you create!

This week, Krafty Girl Patti is your hostess and her challenge theme for you is: 

INSPIRED BY A SONG OR MOVIE!

 My card is based off both a movie and a song (really two songs).  I love the Santa Clause movies starring Tim Allen and rewatch them every season.  A couple songs that inspired me were "Jolly Ol' Saint Nicolas" and "Here Comes Santa Clause".  Take a peek at what I came up with to share with you today:

The background panel was made with the newly released 2 piece layering stencil called GIFTS GALORE.  I inked through the first layer with Lucky Limeade KKS hybrid ink and then used decofoil duo gel and red foil (with the minc machine) to create the shiny second layer.  The adorable Santa is from the Santa's Village stamp set (released in September).  The tiny little ornaments are from a coordinating stamp set called North Pole Helpers (released this month) and the sentiment is from Believe in Your-Elf!  So what do you think?  Where you able to guess my inspiration?  

I can't wait to see what you come up with this week!!

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.

I used the Pawsome Holiday stamp set along with a couple of the gorgeous papers and one of the tags from the Add-On bundle.  

I'm loving the gold shimmer on the paper - and added my own to the 

star on top of the puppy tree with decofoil gel and a leftover scrap of gold foil.  The puppy tree is 

popped up on foam to give it more dimension.

Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps October New Release Peeks DAY THREE!! Plus a Challenge!

  Today is our final day of Krafty Peeks for the October Release 

 at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps!

We are so excited to share a wonderful set

by artist Sabrina van Vloten called...

NORTH POLE HELPERS!

This amazing Christmas stamp set features two sweet helper elves, fun shops and accessories - and it coordinates with the Santa's Village set released last month!!

EEEEE don't you just love it when new releases coordinate with a previously released set SO PERFECTLY?  There are lots and lots of ways you can use this darling set to create sweet Christmas scenes!

I combined a couple of the images from the stamp set with the new GIFTS GALORE layering stencil.  This is our 3rd layering stencil released this year and it's just as fabulous as the other ones!! I used inks on the first layer and then used some yellow neon glitter paste through the second layer.  I was really pleased with it!

The sentiment is from Shake it Up Christmas! stamped with Tranquil Teal ink.  Although the photo doesn't show it very clearly, there is some glitter on the wrapping station building (why is glitter so difficult to photograph?!)  I traced around the packages with a white gel pen to give them an extra pop.

As you hop around the design team's blogs today you'll be able to check out NORTH POLE HELPERS! in action in combination with a lot of our other new October Kraftin' Kimmie products!

World Card Making Day! and Challenge #652 Embossing

This week, Krafty Girl Rosie is your hostess and her challenge theme for you is: 

EMBOSSING!

Embossing is one of my favorite techniques and yet

one that I often forget to do!  When I learned how

to emboss with stencils, it created a whole 

new love of embossing for me! 

My card today features dry embossing with 

the Holly stencil and heat embossing for the berries

of the holly leaves and sentiment. 

After running the stencil through my Big Shot

die cut machine to get this awesome raised image, 

I put the stencil back on the panel and used the 

NEW Original Olive ink to brush over the

top of it.  It creates kind of a 3D effect.  

I masked off the little berries while I was inking

the leaves and then used VersaMark clear

embossing ink through the stencil and added

some glittery red embossing powder.  

 I love how it has kind of a vintage feel

with a bit of bling!

Here's a closer look at the embossing:

 I hope that I've inspired you to join our challenge 

this week and share your own creation 

using the theme of embossing. 

And guess what??? This is also one
