Challenge #673 - Mid Month Inspiration - Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps!

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 are: 

Pumpkins & Stencils!

You can choose one or both - whatever inspires you!

The Ink Of The Month, which will be on sale all month long, features the gorgeous Goblin Green Ink Pad, Cube and Reinker! Grab it now to add to your collection.

I get the pleasure of being the mid-month challenge hostess today and here's my card!

Can you guess what my favorite thing about fall is

from my card today? I have a love of all things

pumpkin!  Each and every one of them is unique

(just like snowflakes in winter).  We love to 

decorate with them, carve them up on Halloween

and of course have all kinds of pumpkin baked

treats and special drinks! YUM - so YUM!

Keeping in line with the challenge themes

I used the Autumn Pumpkins stamp set

and the gorgeous Pumpkin Patch layering stencil!

To create this background, I first sprayed the stencil

with some Goblin Green ink re-inker (mixed with a little water)

and turned it over onto a piece of white cardstock.

Once that panel dried, I laid the first piece of the stencil

on that panel and then used it as an embossing

piece to get the raised pumpkins on the cardstock.

After embossing, I then used the stencil again to 

ink the pumpkins with Pumpkin Patch ink.  

This technique gives it such a great texture and 

detail with the raised and colored parts. 

Lastly I used the second piece of the stencil 

to ink the peduncles (stems) and leaves.

I really love how it turned out! 

To finish the card I added a couple layered

oval die cuts and the row of pumpkins that

I colored with my copic markers and then 

fussy-cut to put on the panel.

Today I’m sharing with you a couple of sweet tags I made with some leftover bits and pieces of other crafty creations. 

I started with a leftover panel made from the beautiful Holly stencil. 

That adorable little cottage 

is from the 

Santa’s Village stamp set. 

Both tags use a couple of 

the sentiments from 

Mix &Match Sentiments 

(This was the final stamp set from the 2022 Krafty Advent calendar) with 

Ruby Red and Fresh Fields 

KKS inks. 

I also had one little 

Doodle pop penguin and package sticker that were added to the other tag 

and a couple ribbon scraps. 

Ta-Dah! 

Two sweet tags done and ready to add to a special 

little package. 

Hope you liked my 

tags and that I’ve inspired you to join the Skrappy Challenge this month!
