Kraftin' Kimmie Challenges #407 - Stencil(s)

Happy Saturday crafty friends!

The theme for Challenge #40 at 

KRAFTIN' KIMMIE CHALLENGES

is to use a STENCIL.

I've purchase several stencils but have very seldom used them.

They are so much fun to use and I honestly can't tell you

why I don't think to pull them out more often and play with them.

I'm just such a patterned paper addict that this is usually my go to.

However, I accepted the challenge today and pulled out an

unused stencil and got inky!!  Ohhh my goodness what fun!

For my card today I used a large medallion one and inked it 

up like a Christmas wreath.  Then I used one of the awesome

sentiments from THE MAGIC OF CHRISTMAS,

Isn't it stunning?  And it should be pretty easy to mail since it'

isn't super layered up.  I'm really happy with how it turned out!

I'd like to enter this card in the following challenges:

Wonderful Wednesday Anything Goes at Kraftin' Kimmie Challenges

Hey Hey its time for another 

Wonderful Wednesday at 

Kraftin' Kimmie Challenges

and that means the theme is ANYTHING GOES!

I love to make small surprises for my co-workers during

the holidays. Today I'm sharing a sweet little gift that I

put together for my co-workers at Halloween 

using one of my favorite clear stamp sets

called MINI MONSTERS.  I realized after I 

had passed out all but one of them that I hadn't 

yet taken a photo of them to share for this 

challenge - oops - so I quickly put this one on my desk

and snapped a quick pic.  I made a few variations of 

tags with the sayings and extra accessory stamps.

My apologies for only having one to show you

but I think you get the idea (smiley face)

I hope that you will find time to join us this week!

Thanks for stopping in to visit me today.  Hugs luvs! D

Happy Birthday to a Reel-y Awesome Guy

Hello friends!

Tomorrow is my son's 24th birthday!

Wow does that make me feel OLD lol!

He arrived about a month early at 5:45 AM

weighing just 5 pounds 5 ounces.  It was LOVE

at first sight and I knew my life would be forever better.

Unfortunately I won't be able to see him on his birthday

(it's hard when they live away from their mamas), but

I will call him bright and early and sing to him

(hope he answers the phone this year hehehe).

One of his favorite things to do is fish

so I used a "reely" fun stamp set from 

Your Next Stamp to make his card this year.

The sketch for YNS Challenge #76 made it 

easy to put his card together quickly.

and here's the inside too

I'm entering this card in the YNS Sketch Challenge #76

Kraftin' Kimmie Challenges #405 - Halloween

Hey hey everyone! Welcome to another challenge 
at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps!

The theme for Challenge #405 is HALLOWEEN! 
I know there are LOTS of you crafty folks out there who LOVE
making halloween items, gifts, cards, etc. 
You can make a card, a treat, a scrapbook page, a 3-D project
or any other creation as long as it is clearly Halloween related!
And...Kraftin' Kimmie has LOTS of stamp sets that
are perfect for you to use! 

I'm making a bunch of treat bags for the people I work with.
I started with a plain muslin bag and stamped all over it
with some of the accessory stamps from MINI MONSTERS
(one of my new all time favorite clear sets)
then I added a sweet little tag using one of the monsters.

 here's another photo at a slightly different angle

After I made this bag I had all kinds of ideas swirling in my head
for different variations of how I could stamp and present this.
Each little bag fits about 5 mini candy bars in it.
I'm only showing you one for now because  I have about 8 of them
to finish still. But really they are so fun and easy that I
am really going to enjoy making them!!!

I hope you'll be able to play along with us this week! 
We LOVE to see your creations and you could possibly
WIN a $20 gift card to the KKS Shop (see main challenge
blog post for more details).  You have until 11:55 pm EST
to get your creations linked up.

Kraftin' Kimmie Challenges - Wonderful Wednesday ANYTHING GOES

Hey hey hey Happy Wednesday!!

Do you know what that means (other than you are that much

closer to the weekend)?  It means that it's time for another

WONDERFUL WEDNESDAY CHALLENGE

at Kraftin' Kimmie Challenges!  Whoot!

The weekly Wednesday challenges are ALWAYS

Anything Goes!  That's right...any theme, any colors,

any type of project (in good taste of course).  

Today my card features one of the not too spooky

images from the TRICK OR EAT - RE-RELEASE

stamp set.  I used a sentiment from GRIM GRETCHEN

to cover us a very bad booboo (ugh!) and am happy

with the combo of the two stamps.  Take a little look:

 I was actually quite thrilled with myself because I used papers, 

ribbon and the gauze flower all from my stash.  And aside from moving 

my panels around a hundred times and then deciding that the 

card was too "clean" for a spooky image and halloween card 

(so I added some distress inks) - the card came together pretty quickly :o).  

We love when you show us your krafty stuff using

Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps but it's not a requirement.  

We really would just love for you to play along with us!

So now it's your turn to go get krafty and share with us! 

Hugs til next time! D
