Cool Kids - Winter Fun!

 Hello! Thanks for stopping in to visit my blog!

Today I have a winter card to share with you. 

I'm not a huge fan of winter (especially as I get older)

but I know lots of you are. 

This card was made for the current January Challenge 

at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps with a special young man in mind.

The theme prompts at KKS are Winter/Blue/Monochromatic.

I used Winter and Blue and added Adorable - lol.

The stamp set I used is Cool Kids.

The stencil is Cool Crystals (with Designer Denim ink)

and I added some fun sparkly snowflake die cuts

 -because snow is sparkly.

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

Simon Says Stamp - Anything Goes

Sweet Stampin' Challenges - Cards for Kids

Stamping Sensations - January Challenge "Add some Sparkle"

613 Avenue Create - Anything Goes w/Optional Twist of Winter

Thanks so much for popping in!  Enjoy the rest of your day.

Crafty hugs. D

Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps - January 2023 Challenge - Mid Month Inspiration

   Good morning and welcome to our  

Monthly Saturday Challenge Mid Inspiration Post

at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps!

Every month we post a brand new challenge with three themes to choose from, and a mid month inspiration post with even more creative ideas! You are welcome to enter as many times as you like.

We are back today with an inspirational post showcasing more ideas to inspire you and help get your creative juices flowing!

We can't wait to see what you create!

This month the challenge themes for you are: 

WINTER,

BLUE,

or

MONOCHROMATIC

You can choose any or all - whatever inspires you!

I decided to really challenge myself and use all THREE of the challenge themes. Here's my card...

YETI OR NOT! is such a fun stamp set for winter themed cards. It has sat in my stash for far too long waiting to be brought out and shown some krafty love.  This challenge was the perfect reason to do that.  I used the gorgeous ink of the month "Designer Denim" and the brand new released stencil - Geo 1 for the wintery sky in the background. The sentiment is stamped a light pressure of Ocean Opulence and then Designer Denim on top of that.  

I'm entering this card in the following other challenges as well:

Cardz 4 Galz #190 CAS (Clean and Simple)

Krafty Chicks Challenges #647 - CAS

January 2023 NEW Release Sneak Peeks - Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps - DAY THREE!

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

 at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps!

We are so excited to share a funny, punny set 

by artist

Michelle Houghton called...

SO PUNNY!

This set is filled with adorable images and sweet puns - perfect to send to a friend anytime! And think about how cute they would be for Valentines Day!! 💓You can even add little faces for even more fun!

I had such a difficult time deciding which of these stamps I wanted to feature in today's peek.  They are all SO CUTE! 

Ultimately I was inspired to use the ear of corn and the coordinating punny sentiment.  My husband is the king of corny jokes - so it's perfect for him (and not too mushy to use as a valentine's card).

I also used the absolutely awesome NEW  Geo 1 Stencil as the background  for my mini-slimline card.  Here's your peek:

I used the Summer Sunshine KKS hybrid ink for the background. 

You'll notice this awesome set coordinates with the YOU'RE A DOUGH-ABLE stamp of the month set! 

 

Check out SO PUNNY in so many amazing creations today as you hop around the Krafty Team's blogs!  You'll also see the beautiful new stencils, GEO 1 and KRAFTY TOOLS (a layering stencil!!) along the way! 

Everything will be released after our LIVE Online Release Party TODAY!  All the fun takes place in the Krafty Friends facebook group beginning at 2 pm ET!  See you there!
