Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps Challenge #570 - Something Yummy!

Happy Saturday crafty friends!

It's time for another weekly theme challenge at 

KRAFTIN' KIMMIE STAMPS!

For Challenge #570 we'd like you to use the

theme of "SOMETHING YUMMY" .

Each and every Saturday we post a brand new challenge 

for the week and 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 Stamps products will earn you double entries!

The monthly prize is a $25 voucher to the Krafty shop!!!

We can't wait to see what you come up with!

There's so many images that have food, cooking, baking

drinks (coffee, tea, wine) to choose from. 

My card features the newly released 

Baking Bonanza stencil and one of the images

and sentiments from Happiness is Homemade! 

I used the stencil to make an embossed background.

Then I added some Cosmic Shimmer in Sunset Orange

with the touch tip applicator through the stencil on top 

of the embossed areas.  After that dried I sponged

some Sandy Shores KKS hybrid ink over the top of the

entire panel.  The shimmer still shows through but it's 

much more subtle (see photo below). 

You can see that I also used the stencil in the usual

way to ink another layering panel.  The image is 

colored with a combo of copics and Prisma color pencils

(and a touch of white Sharpie paint pen). 

So that's all from me today. Now it's your turn to 

create something with our theme and join

the challenge.  Full details can be found on the 

Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps main blog (click here). 

Don't forget the new Frugal Friday Specials are loaded

in the KKS Shop too. Some great deals to be found!

Donut Forget...I Love You

Happy Wednesday crafty friends and followers!

A quick post from me today with a valentine

that I made recently for my son.  Now that he's

received it I can share. He's such a sweet supporter

of his mama's crafty card making hobby and loves

to get handmade cards.  He also follows me

on all my social media accounts and I didn't 

want him to see it that way before he got it

in person.  It was kind of funny as he said

"hey, I got a card from my mama just now.

I haven't seen this one yet".  But then he

also wondered where the real donuts are - lol.

That "kid" love donuts so much it's ridiculous.

But I love him even more than he loves donuts!

Here's the card:

I'm entering this card in the following challenges:

Krafty Chicks Challenges #442 - Sweets

Crafting from the Heart Challenges #237 Anything Goes

Crafty Cardmakers Challenge #227 LOVE LOVE LOVE

thanks for popping in to visit me today! 

Have a great rest of the week! Hugs! D

Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps - NEW Release Blog Hop February 2019

Hello! You are in for a real treat today as the krafty krew

DT for KRAFTIN' KIIMMIE STAMPS has prepared some
amazing creations to showcase the NEW products of
this month that were released yesterday.  

So grab your favorite drink and maybe a snack

and hop along to your hearts content!

ALL the new products are now in the store -

including the GIMME KIMMIE set for those

of  you who are in love with the entire new release!

My card features the New SPRINKLES stencil

and DONUT WORRY stamp set.

To create the background, I used the following KKS hybrid inks -

Charming Chartreuse (NEW), Pretty in Pink, Purple Pansy and 

Purple Petunia . I stamped the donuts, the sentiments 

and the sprinkles on the donuts in Marvellous Mocha ink 

(all of these are available in regular size pads or 1" ink cubes).

The frosting on the donuts is Marvellous Mocha and 

Charming Chartreuse inks. There's even a few of the
fabulous Rainbow Dots scattered on here.     

It hardly needs the sentiment inside because it's

easy to figure out - but just in case (and for fun) 

I added it to finish the saying...Donut Worry, Be Happy! 

Thanks so much for stopping in to visit me.  There's so much 

more inspiration to see just hop on down to the links below.

November Krafty Scrappin' Challenge (Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps)

Oh Hello sweet crafty friends and followers.

My post today is for the November Krafty Scrappin challenge

at KRAFTIN' KIMMIE CHALLENGES.

For this challenge you can create ANYthing you wish 

as long as it's NOT a card! 

Calendars, bookmarks, pocket pages, traditional scrap pages, 

holiday gifts, planner pages... you get the picture! But NO Cards.

The November theme is  ANYTHING GOES!

I'm usually so busy making cards that I don't stop to make the time

to create something different unless it's a special occasion or reason.

My project today is a sweet little tag that I made using 

Happy Fall Y'All that I put on a jar of homemade applesauce

from my own tree.  It was a gift for my Grandma 

who LOVES anything sweet - and especially applesauce.

Two years ago I only had about 3 little apples on my tree.

Last year I had quite a lot but most of them had bugs but

this year was a bumper crop and I had more than I knew what to

do with.  So I googled applesauce recipes and made several

different versions.  It was so much easier than I thought it

would be and man was it ever wayyyy better than any I've

purchased at the store.  Grandma likes it sweeter than I

do (and smooth) so I added brown sugar to hers and 

threw it in the blender when it was done cooking. 

Needless to say I was her favorite granddaughter 

(Oops I promised not to tell anyone that - lol!)

So enough from me for now.  I hope I've inspired you

to play along with us this time. It is the season for 

giving and there are lots of sweet stamp sets at 

Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps that work perfectly for this. 

Here's some things to remember if you're going to play along

1. Make ANY crafty creation... JUST NOT A CARD!

2. MUST be a NEW creation (created on or after this post date)

3. MUST use Kraftin Kimmie stamps to be entered in to the drawing.

Thanks so much for stopping in to visit me today!  

Happy holidays and Hugs (big crafty ones)! 

Kraftin' Kimmie - March Krafty Scrappin' Challenge

Hello crafty friends! It's time for another monthly
Krafty Scrappin' Challenge at

KRAFTIN' KIMMIE.

What makes these monthly challenges unique is that you can create 

ANYthing your little heart desires as long as it's NOT a card! 

 Calendars, bookmarks, pocket pages, traditional scrap pages, holiday gifts, 

planner pages... you get the idea! 

I made some Easter treat bags for my co-workers 

using one of the adorable stamps from SPRING TRINKETS.
There are 8 great stamps in this set for spring, easter and Mother's day.

Did you know that Kimmie is clearing out her rubber stamps

inventory and going completely clear?  There are still some of this  

adorable set available in the KKS shop but I'm not sure for how long.

So if you love this set I'd recommend you go grab it for yourself

(I'm sure glad I did!) cause when they're gone...they're gone! 

Here's a close up of the bag toppers 

(I used some of the yummy new Lawn Fawn plaid papers)

Oh my gosh...in the process of making these gifts I discovered 

a new obsession - Cadbury mini chocolate eggs.  These are

to die for - literally.  I almost decided to go buy a bag of jelly
beans for these gifts and keep the chocolate for myself!! 

But I decided that those extra 10 pounds I would gain

weren't worth being selfish over - LOL!

I'd also like to enter the following challenges:
613 Avenue Create #168 - Anything Goes w/twist of use a bird
Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenges - Food and/or Drink
Sweet Stampin' Challenges - Easter

 Come play along with us!  Get some of those photos out of boxes,
or pull up that idea you've pinned for a later date and make
something creative and fun!  Here are a few things to remember...

THIS MONTH'S THEME: ANYTHING GOES!!!

1. Create ANY scrap page, Project Life Layout or pocket page cards, 

altered item, etc. JUST NOT A CARD!
