January 2023 NEW Release Sneak Peeks - Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps - DAY THREE!

    Today is our final day of Krafty Peeks for the January Release 

 at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps!

We are so excited to share a funny, punny set 

by artist

Michelle Houghton called...

SO PUNNY!

This set is filled with adorable images and sweet puns - perfect to send to a friend anytime! And think about how cute they would be for Valentines Day!! 💓You can even add little faces for even more fun!

I had such a difficult time deciding which of these stamps I wanted to feature in today's peek.  They are all SO CUTE! 

Ultimately I was inspired to use the ear of corn and the coordinating punny sentiment.  My husband is the king of corny jokes - so it's perfect for him (and not too mushy to use as a valentine's card).

I also used the absolutely awesome NEW  Geo 1 Stencil as the background  for my mini-slimline card.  Here's your peek:

I used the Summer Sunshine KKS hybrid ink for the background. 

You'll notice this awesome set coordinates with the YOU'RE A DOUGH-ABLE stamp of the month set! 

 

Check out SO PUNNY in so many amazing creations today as you hop around the Krafty Team's blogs!  You'll also see the beautiful new stencils, GEO 1 and KRAFTY TOOLS (a layering stencil!!) along the way! 

Everything will be released after our LIVE Online Release Party TODAY!  All the fun takes place in the Krafty Friends facebook group beginning at 2 pm ET!  See you there!

*Be sure to join us for our Live Release Party as one lucky Facebook commenter will win Krafty $'s!!

Stinkin' Cute Slimline Valentine Card

 Hello! Hello!

It's almost mid-February already and 

Valentine's Day is Monday! Yikes! 

I wanted to send out some cute love

themed cards this year and the stamp

sets I recently purchased from Lawn Fawn

were so perfect - and Stinkin' Cute - for this.

This is a Slimline Valentine card using

stamps and coordinating dies from 

Scent with Love and Scent with Love Add On.

The main card base panel is also from Lawn Fawn

it's the Scalloped Slimline With Heart - Portrait die.

 OMGosh don't you just love the heart shaped scent trails?!

I'm entering this card in the following challenges:

Happy Little Stampers February Anything Goes w/a Die

little red wagon - Be My Love -Valentine #640

CAS Valentine Card

 Hello lovely friends! 

I've been cramming like crazy to get 

Valentine's cards done to send out.

Today I have this super cute CAS card to share with you. 

The plaid patterned paper, stamp sets and

coordinating dies are from Lawn Fawn. 

The skunk is from the stamp set 

called Scent with Love and the 

heart shaped balloon and sentiment are both

in the Scent With Love Add On stamp set.

I used a Quickie Gun pen to add some 

super fine sparkle on the balloon and skunk's tail. 

I learned that glitter tip in one of Jenn Shurkus's 

recent online classes called Love Letters. 

To add a little more interest to this card, but

still keep it CAS, I used my score board to make

a faux embossed plaid background on the main panel. 

I'm entering this in the following challenges:

Lawn Fawnatics Challenge #118 - Clean and Simple (CAS)

little red wagon - Be My Love Valentine #640

Daring Cardmakers: My Sweet Valentine

Critter Crazy Challenges #59 -Anything Goes with a Critter

Crafty Animals Challenge #58 

Crafty Gals Corner Challenge #228 - Add A Heart

Thanks for visiting me today! I hope you liked this

card and that I've inspired you to create and join a challenge.

opportunity to jump in and join our challenge.

For my creation today I used the Chubby Cloud stencil

This was a perfect design to use up some of my

extra die cut hearts that were scattered on my desk.

Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps Challenge #566 - Oh So Punny!

Hi friends - happy last Saturday of January 2021!

I have the pleasure of being the hostess this week

for the KRAFTIN' KIMMIE STAMPS

weekly theme challenge.

Challenge #566 is OH SO PUNNY!

I feel like maybe we could all use a little

light-hearted comic relief and a reason to smile 

 so I want to see your creations featuring 

a pun - or humorous play on words & images.

The Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps shop has LOTS 

of stamp sets that can be used for this - or 

mixed and matched too.  One such stamp set

is the newly released LUMBERJACK & JILL.

Just look at all those sweet punny sentiments!

Here's the shaker card I made for this challenge

I used the single wood chunk image and did some quick

and easy masking to create the wood pile around her.  

Isn't she just adorable? Admit it - you smiled didn't ya?

I hope that you will join us this week and submit

your own punny creation.  You can enter through

the KKS Blog or in the challenge album in the 

Krafty Friends Facebook Group. 

Here's some more inspiration from the Krafty DT too!

March Skrappy Challenge - Kraftin' Kimmime Stamps

 Hello! Welcome to March 2020

and this month's new Skrappy Challenge

at KRAFTIN' KIMMIE STAMPS!

For those of you who aren't familiar with this

challenge - it's basically ANYTHING BUT A CARD.

We love to encourage you to stretch your creative muscles

and try new things.  You can make a 3D item, an altered

item, planner pages, a scrapbook page (or pages), a framed

creation, a bookmark, a tag ... I think you probably get the idea.

Just make sure to use a Kraftin' Kimmie product and it

must be a NEW creation.  You can enter several creations.

You have  until April 6th to enter and once we have at least 5 people 

participating Kimmie offers a $20 gift card to the KKS Shop

for one lucky participant!  Whoo Hoo!  

There are so many awesome KKS Products in addition to 

the amazing/high quality stamps such as stencils, enamel

dots and the hybrid inks that work with all mediums.  

I like to make little holiday treats for my team at work.

The LOVE STORY SENTIMENTS were perfect to 

use for small Valentine's Day treats.  Take a look. 

These are heart shaped red tins. 

and I also made some candy treat bags too

Thanks for popping in to let me share with you.

I hope you will join us this month and inspire us too!

Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps Challenge #516 - Combine Two Sets (and a Birthday SALE!)

Haaaapppppyyyyyy Weekend friends!

I'm also so excited when the weekend is here - how about you?!

Holy cow and it's a new month.  Boy did January go by fast!

Today is the start of another weekly challenge for

KRAFTIN' KIMMIE STAMPS.

Each and every Saturday we post a new challenge for the 

week and you are welcome to enter as many times as you like!

The Theme for Challenge #516 is .....

COMBINE STAMP SETS. 

What does that mean?  Well, we'd like to see you

use at least two different stamp sets together on your

krafty creation(s). Kinda like mix and match!

There are soooo many awesome KKS stamp sets 

that compliment each other so well.  I hope you'll

give it a go and join us this week!  

Here's something else you might like to see. 

It's a MAKE YOUR OWN SALE.

There are no limits - if it's in the shop you 

can get it on sale.  Whoo Hoo! 

What a great opportunity to grab some more goodies

that have been on your wish list.  Happy Birthday Kimmie!

Here's my card the Challenge #516.  

I combined the very versatile and lovely 

HEARTS AND STARS! stamp set with the

newly released YOU'RE GNAW-SOME! stamp set. 

I used the NEW Crisp Crimson hybrid ink for the

larger hearts (and sentiment) and Ruby Red hybrid ink

for the smaller hearts on the background panel.  

I love the deep red color of the Crimson ink! 

The hearts were stamped with the assistance of my 

Stampin' Up! stamp platform. Made it easy peasy.

The wood strips are actually washi tape -something 

I seldom use but seemed like it fit perfectly for this

card design.  The beavers are colored first with copics

and then touched up with prisma color pencils for more

depth and detail.  The overall card size is 5 1/2" square.  

I'm also entering my card in the following challenges:

Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge - ALL LOVED UP

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge - Anything Goes

Krafty Chicks Challenges #492 Week 5 Anything Goes

Cute Card Thursday Challenge #619 - Valentines

Your Next Stamp Challenge #131 - Share the Love
