Fall Activities and/or Halloween

I chose the fall activities theme. 

Picking a pumpkin from a pumpkin

patch and walking through crunchy

multi-colored leaves are two of my 

favorite fall activities. 

The beautiful pumpkins in a row are 

from the AUTUMN PUMPKINS 

stamp set. The sparkly leaves in the 

background are from a KKS stencil

called Falling Leaves,which is 

now retired, but the gorgeous 

Leafy Mandala stencil is available.

I added a large, lovely die cut 

sentiment from Lawn Fawn. 

The tiny leaves that are added to the

sentiment are from the 

Leaves are Falling! stamp set. 

I hope that you will join us this month!

August/September Release RECAP! Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps

 

This weekend we are having a very special

RELEASE RECAP EVENT!!

In case you missed it, our most recent release featured
FOUR brand new stamp sets and TWO sets of layering stencils and we're going to celebrate them today!

We have a blog hop that starts at the Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps blog and the Krafty Design Team has all new projects featuring the latest krafty goodies! You can also find links to each of their blogs below. 

So grab a beverage and sit back to enjoy all the inspiration!  The team will also be sharing them in the Krafty Friends Facebook Group and on other social media channels!

Every year the fall releases are my favorite

and this year that is still true.

My hop card features the newest Krafty Komeback

stamp set called HEY THERE, PUNKIN!

The background panel of this card 

was made by inking the  

base layer of the Pumpkin Patch stencil

(this is a 2 piece layering stencil)

with KKS Pumpkin Patch ink   

and then lightly spritzing it with a spray

made with water and the 

KKS Pumpkin Patch reinker 

 before gently placing a piece of 

cardstock down on it to absorb the ink. 

The sentiment is from Pumpkin Kisses 

that I masked and stamped twice to get 

the two colors (Wicked Black &

Fresh Fields).

Here's a close up of the colored image. 

I used copic markers and popped the image 

on the card with some foam dots.

 I hope that you enjoyed my card today.

Please go visit the other DT members 

and see what they have created too.

PLUS we have something very special as well!! 
Krafty Girl Patti will be doing a LIVE on Sunday morning at 11am ET featuring our S'MORE FUN stamp set so we hope you can join us!!

We hope you'll join us and help us celebrate!

Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps - September Monthly Challenge

Good morning and welcome to our 
New Monthly Challenge
at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps!

Are you ready for another krafty challenge to inspire you and help get your creative mojo going? We've got some fabulous prompts for you and can't wait to see what YOU create!

This month our challenge themes for you are:

Back to School/Primary Colours and/or Circles

You can choose one theme or combine them!
Enter as many times as you like all month long!
It's a Choose Your Own Krafty Adventure!

I've chosen theme of Primary Colours 

(Red, Yellow and Blue) for this month's challenge. 

AHOY SAILOR! is one of favorite stamp 

sets and I felt it's nautical theme would

be perfect for these colors.  I'm also

channeling a back to school vibe (more

for college level) with the sentiment.

 

The sky was made with the 

Krafty Scenery 4 stencil and some

Designer Denim ink. I used the

Krafty Scenery 3 stencil for the ocean

(filled in with copic markers in B26 & B24).

The subtle texture in the background

is the Rugged Rope stencil used

as an embossing panel. 

I hope you like my card and that I've

inspired you to grab some of your 

crafty stash to join the challenge.

Remember, you can choose just one,

or two or all three of the challenge themes.

Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps - Skrappy Challenge - September 2024

Good morning, my Krafty Friends!

It's September and that means it's time for a new
Skrappy Challenge
at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps!  

The theme of course is ANYTHING BUT A CARD!

For this challenge you can make anything that strikes your fancy....except a card!  So design a new scrapbook page, bookmark, tag, altered item, planner page, art journal, ATC cards...whatever you like! 

Just make sure to include some Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps products and make sure it's a new creation!  

*NEW - Our Challenges are now combined with the 

Saturday Challenge and the Christmas Challenge in the Krafty Friends FB group! So feel free to enter any or all of these - the monthly prize is a $20 voucher to the Krafty shop!!!  Woohoo!  To enter, be sure to upload your photo to the September album in our Krafty Friends FB group.  

I love the KKS Skrappy Challenges because 

it's so fun to use my stamps, stencils and inks

in different ways.  More inky playtime and projects

means more krafty happiness!

This month I used the Fruity Fun! and

Our Farm! stamp sets as added embellishments

on a scrapbook page.  

The watermelon stamp was transformed

into a honeydew melon by masking off

the seeds and stamping in Totally Taupe

ink.  Copic markers in E40 and YG21

were used to color the outside rind.

I added the little farmer stamp because this

page is about a new and very delicious

find at the Farmer's Market.

This paper has been sitting my stash

for ages - I thought it was perfect for this page!

   

Thanks for stopping in to visit my blog today.

I hope that I've inspired you to play along

This month our challenge themes for you are:

Drinks, Fruits/Veggies and/or Farm

I loved the challenge prompts so much that 

I decided to use TWO of them. 

My first card uses the Fruits/Veggies theme

This sweet little baker is from the newest 

Krafty Komeback stamp set 

(releasing later today) called 

Hey There, Punkin'!  

I'm so excited that this stamp has been re-released! 

All the images are so very cute, but 

I think this might be my image from 

this set.  I love to make pies

and they are my favorite dessert treat. 

The background for this card was

made with the Perfect Pies! layering stencil, 

and a sentiment from the Pumpkin Kisses stamp set

(stamped with Marvellous Mocha ink). 

The following copic colors were used on this card:

YR09, YR07, YR04, YR02 and Y06 (pumpkins)

G28, YG63,YG67, YG17 (leaves and grass)

V12 and V15 (dress and apron pocket)

E41 and E43 (shoes)

E53, E31 and E34 (pie)

E04, E21, E02 and E00 (skin)

E27 E25 E23 (hair)

The following KKS hybrid inks were used to

create the pies: 

Creamy Caramel, Mellow Mustard,

Sandy Shores, Pumpkin Patch

Lavish Lilac and Granite Grey. 

I also finished the inside of the card.

Hey There, Punkin'! is being released today

immediately following the  

Live New Release Party at 3pm EST

My second card uses the Farm theme

and here's the inside

Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps - August NEW Release! Final day of the Krafty Peeks! Hey There, Punkin!

 Good morning and welcome to our
FINAL day of AUGUST Krafty Peeks!

Today we are revealing our last stamp set which will be releasing tomorrow afternoon at 3pm ET along with all our other stamp sets and stencils!

Today we are revealing...a Krafty Komeback!!

 It's called HEY THERE, PUNKIN'!

It was originally released in 2014!

For those who are new around these parts, Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps will be celebrating 15 years this fall so we have a lot of retired images most people have never seen before!  (And there are lots of requests for past stamp sets!) So once in a while we bring a set back and this one will be back this weekend!

There are SOoooo many of the Cheryl Grant designed

stamp sets that I love but this one was one of my

absolute favorites.  In fact my cards for this release

were made with the original rubber stamp set. 

I don't think that I'll ever be able to part with it!

I love the new clear version too as it has a couple

different sentiments that are just perfect for the

adorable kiddo images.  So of course, I'll need 

to have the newest one also!  IYKYK!! LOL.

I'm starting off by sharing the first card I made

for this new release peek.  It's my favorite 

trick or treater, Lucas and his trusty pup. 

Take a peek....

The super fun (and not too spooky) background 

was made with the Ghoulish Ghosts stencil

and Purple Petunia and Magical Midnight 

KKS hybrid inks.  Most of the purple got

covered up by the main image (oops!) but 

if you zoom in you can see a little of it

peeking out at the top. 

Fun fact...the KKS hybrid inks can be used

with any medium (watercolors, alcohol markers,

color pencils) and are available in either 

a large pad or an ink cube version (with

refills).  These inks blend beautifully together

and are a staple in my cardmaking collection. 

You can find all these inks and this fun stencil in the shop.

I've provided you with the links above. 

You can save them in your shopping cart until

the new release is available this weekend

to add to your order!  

And...don't forget about the super cute 

Stamp of the Month 

that will be automatically added to 

your package (while supplies last) 

when your single order total is $75 

or more (before shipping)!! Whoo hoo!

Thanks for stopping in to visit my blog today!

Join us on Saturday, August 17th at 2pm ET in the Krafty Friends Facebook Group for our LIVE Release Party! 

All FOUR of the new stamp sets and the TWO new stencils will drop
at 3pm ET in the Krafty Shop!!
See you there!

Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps - August NEW Release Peeks - DAY 3! Sweet and Spooky!

 Good morning and welcome to
 Day THREE
of our August Krafty Peeks!

If you've been with Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps any amount of time, you know that August is always our Fall/Halloween Release so that you have lots of time to order, receive and create your new goodies for the season!

So today we have an adorable new Halloween stamp set for you by artist Sabrina van Vloten called

SWEET & SPOOKY!

Okay so COME ON! how super CUTE is this?!

I LOVE cute (not too spooky) halloween stamps

and decorations!  This on has completely stolen 

my heart.  I made FIVE cards with it almost

immediately after opening my DT package! 

Here's the first one I'm sharing with you today.

To create this card, I started by stamping each

of these images in the designated spaces

and then created a mask with sticky notes 

so that I could ink the background around

them using Purple Pansy and Gorgeous Grape

KKS hybrid inks.  Don't these colors create

a beautiful blend? I love the way it looks

like a spooky night (at least in my opinion lol).

Each of the stamped images were colored with 

copic markers (ghosts are so easy to color) 

and then the entire postage diecut piece

was layered on black cardstock

before adhering it to the white card base.   

Here's another of the cards I made. This time

that haunted house is the star of the card. 

The faces on those little jack o' lanterns 

are so fun!  I added some sparkle to the

webs and the web patterns of the house

but unfortunately it doesn't show up

well in this photo.  

Thanks for stopping by my blog to visit today.

I hope you enjoyed my Sweet & Spooky peeks!

If you like the ink colors I used on my first card,

you can click on the links to go directly to the

KKS Shop and add them to your cart.  You can

save your cart until after all the new release 

goodies are available too.  You are going to 

have so much fun creating with these new 

stamps and stencils!  

And...don't forget about the super cute 

Stamp of the Month 

that will be automatically

added to your package (while supplies last) 

when your single order total is $75 

or more (before shipping)!! Whoo hoo!

 Now head out on today's krafty hop 

to see so many fun creations from the Krafty Team!

The links are down below for you :)

Be sure to come back to the blog again tomorrow to see new products from our August Release and then join us on Saturday, August 17th at 2pm ET in the Krafty Friends Facebook Group for our
