 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 stencils and we're going to celebrate them today!

We have a blog hop that starts here!

The NEW Flaming Holidays! stamp set is so unique and fun! 

It’s perfect for those who love fantasy and magic - and of course Christmas too! Here’s the card that I made to share with you.

I colored the adorable image with copic markers and

then created a mask of it so that I could use 

the chubby clouds stencil all around it for the sky.

Can you imagine seeing a Santa dragon flying over 

your house? That would be magical! 

Thanks for stopping by to visit!

We hope you'll join us and help us celebrate this new release.

November Skrappy Challenge - Kraftin’ Kimmie Stamps

 Good morning, my Krafty Friends!

It's November 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!  

I recently had the opportunity to use an old

but "new to me" technique of using shaving cream

to make a unique background. 

Here are the tags that I made with the 

Magical Midnight and Purple Pansy  

KKS re-inkers and the shaving cream.

Here's the tags featuring three of the

super chill and adorable snow peeps and 

their furry bunny friend from

FLAKY FRIENDS!

The sentiment on this tag is

from SKATING FRIENDS! stamp set.

The sentiment on this one is from 

the new HOLIDAY POSTAGE! stamp set. 

And here's the last one that I made

with the tiniest bit of the swirl pattern 

(it was just so pretty I had to find a way

to use it all).

The background of the larger

tag base was made with the 

COOL CRYSTALS! stencil and

Magical Midnight and Purple Pansy

KKS hybrid inks.  The sentiment

is another of the fun options 

in the SKATING FRIENDS! stamp set.

That's a wrap for me this time.

I hope that you enjoyed the inspiration

that I've shared with you!

Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps - Challenge #687 - Snow and/or Stencils

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:

Snow and/or Stencils

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!

Oh boy what fun challenge prompts this month!

I love playing with the KKS stencils, so I made

two cards this time to share and inspire.

My first card actually combines both of the

challenge prompts because I used the 

gorgeous Let It Snow! layering stencil. 

The cute little critter and sentiment is 

from the November Stamp of the Month

called You Make Everyday Cool!

This adorable stamp set is FREE when you spend $75CAN before shipping and tax on an order in the Krafty Shop during November while supplies last!

The second card features the newly released 

HOLIDAY ORNAMENTS layering stencil

with some gorgeous, glittery, Astro Paste 

and a very cute critter.  

This card uses three different stamp sets too. 

I started by shading a piece of white

Hammermill cardstock with Purple Pansy

and Tranquil Teal ink.  Then, I used the

first layer of the stencil to color in the ornaments

with the same colors and added Gorgeous Grape 

to make the tops of the ornaments. 

To get the sparkle, I used the second layer

of the stencil with Astro Paste in 

Tropical Tango and Prom Queen. 

Swoon! I love the sparkle!

That ADORABLE racoon is from the

Snowball Fight stamp set and the gift

that its holding is from Pawsome Holidays.

The middle panel has a stamped pattern 

using two of the little accessory stamps 

from the Snowball Fight stamp set (I used 

Gorgeous Grape for the stamping).  

 And last but not least, the sentiment 

is from Mix and Match Holiday Sentiments. 

I hope you liked my creations and that 

I've inspired you to play along with our

November challenge!

Every month we post a brand new challenge with a choice of 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.

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

*Our Challenges are now combined with the 

Skrappy Challenge (first Tuesday of the Month)

and the Christmas Challenge In the Krafty Friends FB group! Be sure to enter your creations there in the designated album! So feel free to enter any or all of these - the monthly prize is a $20 voucher to the Krafty shop!!! Woohoo!

November Stamp of the Month - Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps

 Welcome NOVEMBER!

It's a brand new month so that means....
there's a brand new
Stamp of the Month!

Here's the New You Make Every Day Cool!

This adorable stamp set is FREE when you spend $75CAN before shipping and tax on an order in the Krafty Shop during November while supplies last!

I made a tag with this month's stamp set.

The background on the tag was

made with shaving cream and

Magical Midnight and Purple Pansy

KKS reinkers.  It was the first time

I've tried that technique and I 

will be doing it lots more!

After coloring this sweet little mouse

with my copic markers, I fussy

cut around the image and then popped

it up in the die cut sentiment panel.

The final touch was all kinds of 

snowflakes made with Liquid Applique

and a heat gun.  

There's lots of beautiful and fun 

creations from some of the KKS DT

on the Kraftin' Kimmie blog today

so be sure to go check that out too. 

Thanks for stopping by!

We hope you love our sweet winter stamp set as much as we do!  Get it while supplies last!

Goooood morning and welcome back to Day THREE of our 

October Krafty Peeks!!

Today we are thrilled to share a super fun winter themed stamp set by artist Neda Sadreddin called FLAKY FRIENDS!!

This is just THE CUTEST, cutest, cutest

stamp set! (Can you tell that I love it?!)

 I made to share two cards to share 

with you today.

Here's the first one

To create this scene for the snow peeps

I used the Tree-mendous layering stencil

(layers 1 and 3) with Aqua Adventure and 

Ocean Opulence KKS hybrid inks),  

and the Swirling Stars stencil 

with Astro Paste in Frost Bite White. 

The images were colored with copic markers.

And here's the second card that I'm sharing today:

The bunny is just as cute as the snow people!

Just imagine all the fun you will have

making winter themed cards. 

There's ALSO a brand new 

wintery stencil for you called

 Welcome back!

Did you enjoy yesterday's Peeks?
Well, we are back with MORE Christmas fun!

Today we are spotlighting a new stamp set 
from artist Michelle Houghton called HOLIDAY POSTAGE!!

Who's totally into the postage craze right now?

(Me, Me! My hand is wayyy up in the air!)

Michelle's images and sentiments fit inside the frames so perfectly!

These adorable images are the perfect size

for lots of different creations!

I was inspired to create tags using each 

of the images and the fun sentiments.

Take a peek:

Christmas tags need lots of sparkle

(in my humble opinion) and embossed

sentiments.  EEEEE I think they are so 

CUTE!! What do you think?
