Kraftin' Kimmie - Wonderful Wednesday

Hello friends! 

It's time for another Wonderful Wednesday challenge 

at KRAFTIN' KIMMIE.  The theme is Anything Goes

so that means any type of project, any theme, any layout.  

My card today features another of the newest stamps 

and sentiments from this month's release called

"Holiday Style".  Check it out!

Instead of the bright colors I usually use, I opted for

a more earthy color combo.  I love the word bubble element

that seems to indicate that she is really singing :o)

I'd like to enter this in the following challenges;

Addicted to Stamps and More! Challenge #163 Holidays

Papertake Weekly - It will be Here Soon! 

The Outlawz Monday Greeting - Christmas card w/Greeting

Wow! It's CLEARLY been a great week of NEW Releases
at KRAFTIN' KIMMIE STAMPS!

Over the last few days we have shared lots of wonderful creations
 in our Krafty Peeks featuring all the new stamp sets from each
 of our artists for the CLEARLY HOLIDAY September Release!
 We know these stamps will inspire you to make your own festive
 designs!   First off we shared a gorgeous sets of holiday sentiments
from artist, Becky Pearce called THE MAGIC OF CHRISTMAS!

 Then we showed a sweet set of carolers by artist,
Cheryl Grant called ANGEL VOICES!

 Next came those magical helpers from artist, Emilie Goulet
called MADE BY ELVES!

 And lastly we showed you THREE new sets from artist Annie Rodrigue
 called HOLLY JOLLY, FROSTY FRIENDS and HOLIDAY STYLE!

And today is FINALLY our SEPTEMBER RELEASE DAY where we're
releasing all the new CLEAR stamp sets that have been previewing all week.
What better way to celebrate than with a KRAFTY HOP!
So grab yourself a cuppa joe, sit back and be prepared for some krafty eye kandy!

You will get to see ALL of the new images today! When you’re done hoppin’,

Whew!!! There's so much FUN stuff going on this month
with this new release.  I should probably get to the business
of showing you my card using the NEW FROSTY FRIENDS
clear stamp set.  Hope you like it!! 

 I think this might be about the last of my favorite holiday
papers from last year's Doodlebug line.  LOVE the non-traditional
colors of purple and blue together.  Those tiny little lights have
been in my stash for awhile (nearly a year) just waiting for such
a perfect reason to be used again.  I adhered them with some clear
liquid glue. It was a bit of a fussy process as I waited for each one to set
but so worth it in the end!!

Kraftin' Kimmie NEW Release Peek Day ONE - The Magic of Christmas

Hello friends and followers!
By now you may have heard the fabulous news that
KRAFTIN' KIMMIE STAMPS has gone CLEAR!!!!
I love these new stamps - they stamp so crisp and perfect
right from the get-go.  Pull them off the panel, pop them
on the block and ink them up.  Easy peasy wonderful!

Today is day ONE of the September NEW Release peeks
and debut of the first clear stamp set which is another
awesome sentiment stamp set by artist Becky Pearce called
"THE MAGIC OF CHRISTMAS".  This one is so perfect
for making lots and lots of Christmas cards with it's beautiful
fonts and sentiments. Take a look:

I made a quick little card using one of these fabulous sentiments

I started by stenciling a panel with stars and then added

some extra inking around the edges.  I had a major mishap

in the process so decided to quick creative and cut out the boo-boo

and add the panel to the bottom.  I like how it turned out -

it was a nice surprise or as crafter's call it "a happy accident".

I added the sticker ornaments and metallic cording (which have been

 in my stash for at least two years) and viola - done :o).

ALL of the NEW CLEAR September stamps PLUS a Limited Edition 

Super Sized HOLIDAY Kard Kit (you can find out more HERE) 

will be available on Saturday night at the Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps Shop! 

Be sure to join us for an hour of celebrating the new stamp sets, fun and prizes

 on Saturday evening at our LIVE ONLINE RELEASE PARTY! 

Come hang out with Kimmie and the Krafty Girls!

I am entering this card in the following challenges:

(stickers and metallic cording for more than 2 years)
