Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps - Challenge #663 - Santa or Mrs. Claus!

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!

I get the pleasure of being your hostess this week and my challenge theme for you is:

CHRISTMAS!

I immediately thought of Santa Claus for this challenge.

Pretty soon - if you've been good this year - you might be getting a visit from the jolly ol' elf himself. Or...maybe the elves will send you coal.

Here comes Santa in his train - whoo hoo!

I had so much fun creating this card using the

Santa's Ride stamp set. I colored all the images

with copic markers and added some fund

glitter to the lights with Stickles glitter gel.

The sentiment (that works so perfectly with

this Santa set) comes from the

NEW Holiday Sentiments stamp set.

There's another sentiment in the set that says

"you're getting coal". I think I'll put that on the

inside of the card and send it to my brother-in-law

this year. He will get a kick out of that!

Here's an up close look at the pretty shine and the

cute little enamel dots on the wheels

So fun - right? And, just in time for Christmas!

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 can't wait to see what you make and share with us!

These must be new creations and you are welcome to use any stamp, however, using Kraftin' Kimmie Stamp products will earn you double entries!

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

Woohoo! There are two ways to enter: you can link up your creation on the Kraftin’ Kimmie blog page and if using KKS products,

you can upload your photo to the album in our

Krafty Friends FB group.

And don't forget about this weekend's Frugal Friday Specials!!

We've got a selection of gorgeous stamp sets on SALE 40% OFF this weekend while supplies last!!

Be sure to check out all the fun projects the Design Team has come up with in the links below! Happy kraftin'!

Krafty Advent Kalendar wrap up event!

Hello friends!

We've just spent the last 12 days of December bringing you a special daily reveal from the 2022 Krafty Advent Kalendar!

I hope you enjoyed all the inspiration that me and the DT team shared with you. Today we have a special wrap up where we combine the MIX N' MATCH SENTIMENTS set from yesterday with one of the other stamp sets from days 1 - 11!

Here's my card to share with you

I couldn't resist another reason to use the little bears from

Beary Wishes. I just love how there's one that peeks

over things. Once again the individual words and

partial sentiments were so perfect to make my

very own sentiments. The Mix N' Match Sentiments are also

perfect to use on tags and in journals or on scrapbook pages.

I hope we've inspired you to use your special surprises (if you were one of the lucky ones who took advantage of this opportunity)!

Today there will be a wrap up Live by Krafty Girl Keri at 7 pm EST! You can find that EVENT here!

Merry Christmas and Happy Krafting from all of us at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps!

For the 12th day of December Kraftin' Kimmie gave to me...

MIX N' MATCH SENTIMENTS!

I used several of the sentiment pieces to create

my own special message. I love how there are

different font types and sizes! The background

was made with the Frozen Fractals stencil and

foiling. Kind of a fun and different style that

one of my friends in particular with absolutely love!
