Gifts Galore for Christmas! - Stencil Fun

 Howdy! Thanks for popping in to visit my blog today. 

I'm sharing a card I made recently using a fab two piece layering

stencil from Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps called GIFTS GALORE.

I used the Cozy Christmas Kids stamp set and

the Ruby Red and Fresh Fields hybrid inks. 

The child image is actually a little girl stamp

with pony tails but I trimmed off the pigtails

before coloring the image with my copic markers. 

I love how it turned out and hope you do too!! 

I'm entering this card in the following challenges:

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge - Stencil It!

Stencil Fun Challenge - November Stencil Fun

Challenge #659 - A Recipe (Glitter, Stencil & Sentiment) - Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps

  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 Melanie is your hostess and her challenge theme for you is: 

A Recipe Challenge:

Glitter, Stencil & Sentiment!

Ohhh the possibilities on this one! 

I had a dickens of a time making up

my mind on which stencil to use. 

There are so, so, so many to pick from!

Here's what I finally came up with...

for the first card

I used the Frozen Fractals stencil for 

this lovely rainbow background.  Then

I added coordinating Stickles to what is

the white area after you lift the stencil

from inking.  The sentiment from the 

NEW Holiday Sentiments was just

perfect for this theme and the background

I created.  It's stamped on acetate with the

KKS Wicked Black ink.  

Now for the second card.  Haha, I told

you...I had a terrible time making up my

mind. So...I made two!! 

This card features the Falling Leaves stencil

with several different colors of glitter gel. 

I’m entering this card in the 

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge where the theme this week is “Stencil It”. 

There's also a fun new challenge I just found out about

called Stencil Fun Challenge.  I'm entering my card in 

the November Stencil Fun challenge too. 

Here's a closer look at all that beautiful glitter

I didn't have any fall colors of glitter gel,

so I used a clear gel and added drops of 

the KKS ink refills in Tempting Tangerine,

Mossy Meadow and Rich Rust.  

So now it's over to you! Have I inspired you

to pull out your stencils and some glitter? 

Can't wait to see what you make!!

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 Stamp products will earn you double entries!

2022 Fall/Winter Coffee Lover’s Blog Hop

 Hello! 

I finally found some time to make a coffee 

themed card for the 

2022 Fall/Winter Coffee Lover’s Blog Hop!

 

This is always such a fun and inspiring hop.

Even if I’m not able to participate I

still enjoy seeing all the amazing creations 

and getting tons of ideas! 

My card features my love of a coffee

that only comes around once a year

PUMPKIN SPICE! 

I look forward to it every year 

and it disappears too fast

(as does the beautiful fall weather). 

To create this card I used several products 

from Super Sponsor Kraftin’ Kimmie Stamps -

 two stamp sets, stencil, enamel dots and inks. 

The background panel is made by using 

Original Olive and Pumpkin Patch

Hybrid ink refills as a spray (mixed with

water in a spray bottle) over the 

Darling Dashes stencil. After the

panel dried I sprayed a few more 

“blotches” of the olive ink on it

for more texture. 

The adorable coffee cup is from the 

Coffee and Chocolate stamp set. 

I masked off the existing pattern when 

I stamped the image. Then I stamped a 

bunch of the little pumpkin stamp from

Purr-fect Halloween to make a fun fall

pattern (inspired by 

the fun patterns you get from Starbucks). 

I made the cup cardboard band with cardstock 

And scored it to look like a cardboard sleeve. 

The sentiment is from The Greeting Farm

stamp set called Pumpkin Spice Anya. 

Thanks for stopping by! I hope that

 you liked my card and that I inspired 

you in some way. 

Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps November Release Blog Hop!

 Woohoo!!!

Today we are celebrating all the new fabulous goodies in our November Release that are NOW available in the

 Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps Shop!

and we're excited to share it ALL with you in a fabulous krafty HOP!

So let's check everything out as we hop around the Krafty Design Team's blogs today!  Grab a drink, sit back and relax while we take you on a krafty tour!

First up we have a funny and festive holiday sentiment set

designed by Sabrina van Vlotten

 and it's called.....

HOLIDAY SENTIMENTS!

Next, is an adorable winter set by

artist  Neda Sadreddin

 and it's called.....

SNOWBALL FIGHT!

Third, we have a wonderful set of coordinating images 

by artist Neda Sadreddin called...

SKATING FRIENDS!

 

We've got TWO new Krafty Stencils for this month's release to help add some funky flair to your creations!  

They are called....

COOL CRYSTALS!

and KRAFTY SCENERY 4!

We've again carefully curated an awesome ADD ON BUNDLE featuring several amazing products which coordinate beautifully with our new goodies!!

 

You'll be all set to start your

crafting with this month's Add On Bundle, which includes:

• 49 and Market Artoptions Holiday Wishes Chipboard Set
• Teal Raspberry Opal Polish Blaze
• Pinkfresh Holiday Vibes Die

And don't forget our awesome Stamp Of The Month!! We have the very cute Sleddin' By stamp, which is FREE with your order of $75 or more before shipping/tax!  (while supplies last!)

I'm just in love with the snowperson and that adorable squirrel that's helping with the nose from SNOWBALL FIGHT! My card features this duo and has a bunch of mixed media elements. 

I used the Sweet Snowflakes stencil (one of my favorites for winter scenes) on the background. I had previously made a panel with gold luster paste and then flipped the stencil over to use the paste on the reverse side of the stencil.  It didn't all transfer as smoothly as I thought it might - but I love the funky look of it.  That beautiful snow at the bottom is from a product called SnowTex (a little goes a long way). Does it make you feel like you're out in the snow with them?  It does me!  

Now head on out on today's celebration blog hop and check out all the new products in action as the Krafty Team shares their incredible designs!  Then jump on over to the Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps shop and grab some of these fabulous goodies for yourself!

Happy Krafting!

HOLIDAY SENTIMENTS!

You'll find lots of funny, punny and traditional holiday sentiments in this set! Really, something for everyone - even the
naughtiest! 

Here's my creation to share with you. This is a mini slimline card which is my current favorite size to make.  I used two of the sentiments from this fun stamp set AND the beautiful new Cool Crystals stencil.  

Did you notice the ombré shading of the background? It’s a fun technique to use with a delicate stencil like this. The post office from North Pole Helpers was so perfect to combine with this sentiment. So cute!

Hello! 

A quick post today to share the card 

I’ve made for the MFT 2022 Superstar Contest. 

I’m cutting it close to the wire as I’ve debated 

for three days whether I should enter. 

Finally I decided that I just need to go

for it and share my card! 

My card is entered in the

Clean and Simple Genius category.

This is BB SUPER BOY. 

Wish me luck!

Fingers and toes crossed!
