DAY THREE of the May 2020 Peeks - Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps - Fairy Village

Happy Friday peeps!  Welcome back for DAY THREE

of the May 2020 New Release peeks for 

KRAFTIN' KIMMIE STAMPS!

Artist Sabrina van Vloten has designed the absolutely

most fantastic set to coordinate with her Fairy Friends 

set.  This one is called Fairy Village.  Take a peek at the

two wonderful whimsical images that are just perfect

for our little fairies to live and play in.  EEEEEeee!

These images are also fun just on their own to make a magical

scene. So many fun possibilities with this set.  And I think

it will coordinate well with several other sets from KKS too. 

I had a lot of fun creating a scene on this card. 

The clouds are from Here Comes the Sun and the

sentiment is from Fairy Folk. Those dots are from the 

NEW RAINBOW BRIGHT DOTS. Did you notice that 

I used the stone accessory stamps to create a mossy path 

around the whimsical teapot? 

Can't you just imagine the little fairies living in there? 

There are some very creative ideas from the Krafty Krew

that you'll see if you click on the links below and go visit them.

Leave a comment at each stop because not only do we love to

hear from you, there's also a prize of Krafty $$ to spend in 

the KKS Shop for one lucky commenter! 

 Bfore you go don't forget about the  LIVE On-Line Party

on Saturday, May 16th at 2pm EST.  ALL the new products

Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps Challenge #511 - Anything Goes

Ho Ho Ho hello!  I'm in absolute 

shock that it's the middle of December already.

How about you?  It's just crazy how fast

Christmas sneaks up on a person (especially as

we get older lol).  

Today is the last challenge of 2019 at Kraftin' Kimmie 

as we will be taking a week break for the rest of this

calendar year and be back with some fresh and

awesome inspiration in January.  The theme for 

Challenge #511 is ANYTHING GOES!! 

One of my favorite stamp sets recently got

restocked and I couldn't wait to color it up.

It's called Made by Elves and here's my card

This particular image from the set reminds me

 of Buddy the Elf for some reason.  We watched that

movie last night - love it!  Anyway, I digress...

I love coloring on kraft with my prisma color pencils

and am really tickled with how it turned out.  

Thanks for popping in to visit me today. 

Please come play along with us for a chance

at a Kraftin' Kimmie Gift certificate.
You can enter as many times as you like - but
it must be a new creation.
Although not required, using Kraftin' Kimmie products
gives you an extra chance to win a $40 gift voucher to
the Kraftin' Kimmie Store.    

We love to see what you make with your 

Kraftin' Kimmie stamps, stencils, dots & inks!

The challenge will stay open for 3 weeks this time
while we take a little break.

Until next time friends - Merry Christmas and

may your new year be especially blessed.

Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps - Oct 2019 NEW Release - Sneak Peek and Anything Goes Challenge

The Sneak Peeks of the October 2019

NEW Release from Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps

continues!  I'm super excited about the 

stamp set we have to show you today!

It's called Caroling Cuties by artist

Neda Sadreddin.  Love, love, love it!

It's also time for a new challenge theme

ANYTHING GOES

(as it always is during release week).

Just look at this adorable new set of
singing critters!  Wayyy tooo cuuuute!


Here's my card using this group of adorable

animals and the NEW Brick Wall stencil.

Oh I had so much fun making this card!  I added a couple

drops of the Wicked Black and Marvellous Mocha inks

to some embossing paste and put it through the stenciled 

background (made using Totally Taupe & Berry Bliss

KKS hybrid inks).  The texture IRL is awesome.

The singing critters were masked, colored with 

Prisma Color pencils and fussy cut. As a final touch 

I dotted some snow all around using a puffy paint pen.  

We sure do hope you play along with us for
the ANYTHING GOES CHALLENGE. 

We LOVE to see what you create with your

Kraftin' Kimmie stamps and other products.
You have until October 31st to enter your
own creation (must be a NEW creation)
for a chance to win some krafty kash to spend in the
the Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps store.   

Oh and don't forget that today at 2pm EST is the
LIVE ONLINE RELEASE PARTY with
Kimmie.  It's always a fun time with  Kimmie
and your krafty peers.  All the new products will
be released shortly after the Partay!

Kraftin' Kimmie Challenges #401 - HOLIDAY

Hello hello - how are you?!

It's the last Saturday of September already - wow!

The theme challenge this week at 

KRAFTIN' KIMMIE 

CHALLENGE #401 - is to make a Holiday creation.

There's a couple easy peasy ones coming up...

Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas.

I chose Christmas as my holiday.

These two lovely carolers are from HOLIDAY STYLE 

which happens to be on sale this weekend as part of the 

FRUGAL FRIDAY Sale (through the weekend while 

supplies last).  The sentiment is from another 

beautiful Christmas set called Holly Jolly.

 I used my Prisma color pencils on this 

and then added distress oxide ink for shading and

liquid pearls for the snow fall.  

Boy those colored pencils are not as easy for

me to use as my copics are.  Mostly I struggle with 

which shades are supposed to be blended or shaded into 

the others (like EO2 goes with E04 etc.).  I am pretty happy 

though with the skin this time as that's been my biggest 

challenge with pencils so far.  I just keep practicing :o)

I'd like to enter this card in the following challenges:

Winter Wonderland Challenges - Anything Christmas Goes

Addicted to Stamps and More Challenge #261 -Anything Goes

Sweet Stampin' Christmas - September Anything Goes

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenges - Anything Goes

The Merry Christmas Challenge - #36 Anything Goes + Christmas

I sure hope that you will decide to join us for this challenge

and share you own beautiful holiday creation with us. 

I can't wait to see what you make! 

Kraftin' Kimmie Challenges Wonderful Wednesday - Sept 6th 2017

Hello everyone!  

Maybe you've noticed that things have been a bit quiet

on my blog for the past couple months.  

I took some time off crafting and blogging 

to catch up on some life kind of stuff 

and enjoy the summer while my son and his

fiance lived with us while in transition. 

But now I'M BACK and so excited to be 

crafting again!  What better way to get things started

again than to use the ANYTHING GOES theme

for WONDERFUL WEDNESDAY at

Kraftin' Kimmie Challenges.

I hadn't used my colored pencils for quite a while

so I pulled them out along with the adorable 

stamp set called LULU'S WHEELS. 

 I love this sweet stamp and the sense of adventure

it makes me imagine.  Road trip anyone? 

Where would you go if you could just get in the car and drive? 

Come play along with us this week.  

Each month all the entries from all the challenges  

receive a chance (for each time entered) to win 

a fantastic prize of $20 to spend in the Kraftin' Kimmie Shop.

Ohhhhh and I also want to tell you that next week is

Release Week of the brand NEW September clear

stamps and I think you are going to love, love, love

them.  Here's a hint...they are spooky and fun :o)

Thanks for stopping in to visit me today!

Go get krafty and share your creation(s) with us :o)

Hugs! D

Wonderful Wednesday at Kraftin' Kimmie

Hey there, Hi there, Hello!!!

Happy Wednesday to you :o)

It's my favorite day of the week -

okay maybe my second favorite day

because Friday is my favorite.

Anyhoo....Wednesdays are awesome

from a crafty perspective because at

KRAFTIN' KIMMIE CHALLENGES

the theme is Anything Goes!

This means you have a LOT of krafty

options and can use any one of them for the

challenge this week.  It can be any type of

creation, an color scheme, any sketch, 

yep...Anything Goes!  Who doesn't love that?

I received some colored pencils for my birthday

in April and have slowly been playing with them. 

They aren't nearly as easy for me to use as

my trusty and loved copic markers but I'm 

going to keep trying as I've seen some fantastic

creations with colored pencils and it's fun to

stretch myself creatively!  

My DT creation to share with you today 

features the beautiful CINDERELLA

I wasn't going to make a square card initially but 

then I just couldn't cut up more of this paper than I

needed to.  I wanted all those fun fairy tale words to show

so I needed a bigger space to work with. 

Do you do that too?

I'd like to enter this in the following challenges:
Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenges - Anything Goes (6.28)

Sweet Stampin' Challenges - Lots of Layers

Thanks so much for visiting me today!

I hope you will come play along with us this week

at Kraftin' Kimmie Challenges.  Each challenge you

enter during the month qualifies you to be eligible

for a $20 gift card to the KKS Shop!  

Wanna WIN?  Go get krafty!

Hello friends!  This week I get the pleasure of being your krafty girl 

hostess for Wonderful Wednesday at KRAFTIN' KIMMIE CHALLENGES
 - the very last one of May 2017. 

Are you as stunned as I am at how fast this year is going by?  

Tomorrow we are half way through the year and before you 

know it it will be Christmas time again. Gulp!

  

Now that I've depressed you (LOL) how about I cheer you up 

with a fun little creation using Lucas and his sweet pup 

from "SKY'S THE LIMIT" ?!  You have to smile when you see this duo!

I made this card as a special request for a little boy who will soon

be a Big Brother to twin siblings!  I'm told he loves planes and 

dogs so how much more perfect can it get than to use this stamp set?

I'd like to enter this card in the following challenges:

all the submissions for the whole month and will receive a
$20 Gift Card to the shop!  Let's see your krafty stuff!

Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps - Krafty Komeback "DandyLion"

Happy Fri-YAY!  

Today we have another fantastic re-release of

a retired rubber stamp set.  We call it the 

KRAFTY KOMEBACK at KRAFTIN' KIMMIE STAMPS!

If you aren't familiar with the krafty komebacks they are

previously retired rubber stamps.  When Kimmie

switched to the fabulous clear stamps the original

rubber ones were no longer made.  When they were sold 

out they were gone for good. However, Kimmie was able to
have her artists re-make some of the fan favorites
in the new fabulous clear sets.

I'm so excited about this month's krafty komeback 

because she was on my wish list for a long time 

and then when I decided to get her she was gone.

I was jumping for joy to see her again (with some 

new subtle differences that  make her even cuter)!

Meet DANDYLION! She was one of the most popular
images from artist Annie Rodrigue!

Here's my creation using this AhhhhDorable stamp

My background is made with Distress inks and the NEW 

Distress Oxide inks.  I love love love how fun they are

to use.  I only  have two colors right now but will most

definitely be getting more! I also watercolored 

Miss Dandylion with the regular distress inks and 

added some depth with Prismacolor pencils. Such a

fun card to make!  I'm so tickled to share it with you today!

I'd like to enter this card in the following challenges:

The Crafty Addicts Challenge 36 "Anything Goes"

Always Fun Challenges #7 Anything Goes

Crafting From the Heart Challenge #160 Anything Goes

A Bit More Time to Craft #40 Anything Goes

Penny's Paper-Crafty Challenges #330 anything goes
