September Skrappy Challenge - Kraftin’ Kimmie Stamps

 Good morning krafty friends! 

It's September, and that means it's time for a brand new

SKRAPPY CHALLENGE

with Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps!

 The theme of course is ANYTHING BUT A CARD!

For this challenge you can make anything that strikes your fancy....except a card!
So design a new scrapbook page, bookmark, tag, altered item, planner page, art journal, ATC cards...whatever you like!

Just make sure to include some Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps products and make sure it's a new creation!  

I had a lot of fun recently 

with the NEW Lost In A Book stamp set using it to make a reading journal. 

What better place to start than with my list of TBR (to be read). Now don’t judge me that my list is so long. Buying and reading books is like therapy for me lol! Someday I’ll get to check more off my list but for now it just might keep getting bigger! 

If you love reading, collecting books and/or tea, this is a great set to have in your collection!!   

The sentiment that I used has a misspelled word (I did not see it at all).  But no worries as the sets available in the KKS shop have the correctly spelled version. 

*NEW - Our Challenges are now combined with the 

Saturday Challenge and the Christmas Challenge In the Krafty Friends FB group! So feel free to enter any or all of these - the monthly prize is a $20 voucher to the Krafty shop!!!

Woohoo!  There are two ways to enter: you can link up your creation on the  Kraftin’ Kimmie blog page (at the bottom of this page) and/or upload your photo to the album in our Krafty Friends FB group.  *These are all challenges we have done in the past but now when you upload them, please put them all in the one challenge album!

Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps August Challenge Mid-Month Inspiration

    Good morning and welcome to our  

Monthly Saturday Challenge Mid Inspiration Post

at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps! 

We are back today with an inspirational post showcasing more ideas to inspire you and help get your creative juices flowing!

We can't wait to see what you create!

This month our Saturday Challenge themes for you pare: 

TAGS and/or FALL!

You can choose one or both - whatever inspires you!

My inspiration was Fall! 

A while back I made this gorgeous fall background using several of the KKS inks with the Semi-circles stencil and the Falling Leaves stencil.  It was so pretty I couldn’t bring myself to cover it up (please tell me that I’m not the only one who does that 😄!). 

This month’s challenge theme was the perfect excuse for me to use that pretty panel! I colored up Lexi from the stamp set called Leaves Are Falling and viola I had a fun Fall card! 

Now it’s your turn to share your own lovely creation. 

Every month we post a brand new challenge with two themes to choose from, and a mid month inspiration post with even more creative ideas! You are welcome to enter as many times as you like.

This month's challenge will remain open until August 31st.

These must be new creations and you are welcome to use any stamp, however, using Kraftin' Kimmie Stamp products will earn you double entries!

*NEW - Our Challenges are now combined with the 

Skrappy Challenge (first Tuesday of the Month)

and the Christmas Challenge In the Krafty Friends FB group! So feel free to enter any or all of these - the monthly prize is a $20 voucher to the Krafty shop!!!

Woohoo!  There are two ways to enter: you can link up your creation on the  Kraftin’ Kimmie blog page and if using KKS products, you can upload your photo to the album in our Krafty Friends FB group.  *These are all challenges we have done in the past but now when you upload them, please put them all in the one challenge album!

August Krafty Peeks - Day ONE - Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps

 Who's ready for lots of brand new Krafty goodies?!

It's time for our August Release Peeks to begin 

at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps!

Today we have an amazing book and tea lover set

designed by Michelle Houghton,

 and it's called.....

LOST IN A BOOK! 

You'll find lots of book images as well as a sweet teapot and cup and several awesome quotes in this set! 

This set speaks to me! 

Books are a passion of mine! 

Reading is too, but lately I collect more 

books than I actually read! 

This is the first page in my new reading journal. 

I used the new Leafy Mandala stencil and 

paper pieced the beanbag chair on the stamped 

image from Just One More Page. 

Then, I sponged some Mostly Melon ink 

(the special ink of the month) all over the 

page and stamped a pattern with the same 

color using the open book stamp from 

Lost in A Book. 

The terrific sentiment is also from this set. 

As you hop around the design team's blogs today you'll be able to check out LOST IN A BOOK! in action in combination with our other

August Kraftin' Kimmie products!  

We've also got TWO new Krafty Stencils for this month's release to help add some funky fun to your creations!  

They are called....
LEAFY MANDALA

and 

PERFECT PIES

(a 2 piece layering stencil!)

Both designs are perfect for all your cards, scrapbook pages, mixed media and more!

You'll get to see all of our brand new goodies in action over the next few days of the August Krafty Peeks and everything will be released at our LIVE Release Party 

on  Saturday, August 19th in the Krafty Friends group! 

For now, hop around and check out some amazing creations from the Krafty Team! Our fabulous designers can't wait to share their inspiration with you!
