Challenge #555 and a Krafty Komeback - Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps!

Hello friends! Happy Halloween and last day of October 2020!

It will definitely be a different Halloween here thanks to COVID.

But...I'm not going to focus on that!  Instead I'm going to focus

on the FUN News that there is another Krafty Komeback happening

this weekend and I'm super excited about it!!

Before I get to that though - I also want to tell you about 

the new weekly challenge theme that is starting today too.

Challenge #555 theme is CUTE or SCARY! 

I'm not a Scary Halloween type person at all but 

I do love me some CUTE HALLOWEEN images/decorations.

My card features the TOO CUTE TO SPOOK! stamp

set and Ghoulish Ghosts stencil. Take a look

I used the KKS hybrid ink in Purple Petunia with the stencil. 

AND NOW!!!!! Here's a look at the KRAFTY KOMEBACK

stamp set called BELIEVE IN YOUR ELF!  

This particular stamp set made it's debut in 2012

in the rubber format.  It's been in the KKS retired 

vault for the past few years but now IT'S BAAACK

and in the fabulous photopolymer clear stamp version.

I love the look on the face of these elves.

Pure Joy and Pure confusion hahaha. 

This awesome Christmas stamp set will be in 

the KKS Shop for purchase this morning at 10AM EST!

You are gonna want this one - sooo much fun to color!  

Here's my card to share with you

This is literally how I feel every year as I untangle

the lights from the tree LOL!

Blast Off - Love you to the Moon and Back!

Hello and happy Wednesday!

Today I'd like to share a clean but layered card I made

using a fabby Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps set 

called BLAST OFF and a galaxy background

(made with distress oxide inks). This stamp set is perfect

for that fun technique.  I wish you could see the 

different colors behind the dark overall color

a little better in the photo - it's so pretty IRL!

I colored this sweet spaceship image during a video on 

Monday in the Kraftin' Kimmie Friends Facebook Group. 

Now I can share the finished card using that image.

If you're interested in seeing the video you can click here

(if you aren't a member - just ask to join).

This super duper adorable stamp set also has two more main images

of a boy astronaut and his astronaut pup with a couple

more fun sentiments.  AND guess what... it's on SALE this week

at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps for 40% off.  Wow - that's a great deal! 

Need I say more - hehe!

Sweet Valentine's Love

Happy Valentine's Day crafty friends!

Hope you had a wonderful day and felt very loved.

I made some sweet little valentine's treats for 

my staff and co-workers.  First there are these:

These tags (using Stampin' Up! tag punch) are a CASE of some 

adorable CAS valentines that I saw on the SugarPea Designs Blog 

by Tracey McNeely who used the Barn to Be Wild stamp set 

and coordinating dies,  Click on the link above to see Tracey's 

creations that inspired me. 

And I also made these ones using a sweet little stamp set 

from Neat and Tangled called "My Favorite Nut"

I stamped on Kraft paper with a brown ink and 

then filled in the sweet squirrel with copics.  The 

one darker brown tag I tried colored pencils on

just to see how it would look.  I put a piece of cardstock

matting on the back of each panel so the coloring

wouldn't show through, and wrote a little message on the back. 

I found the jars and twine in the $1 bin at Target. SCORE!
The jars are filled with conversation hearts, sweet tart hearts
and valentine M&Ms.  I can tell you that these were a hit today!
I love to make people happy :o)
