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 
 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 &


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.

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.
And...you can enter as many times as you

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
