Nov. 24th. Embossing with Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps!!

Welcome to another fun Krafty Challenge!
Are you ready for some krafty fun??
We want you all to play along and we love to see your creations so let's get KRAFTY!

This week is all about....
EMBOSSING!!

I have made a simple card using the fabulous Holiday Village set of stamps, which has so many cute houses, church, trees, snowflakes etc.  It also has five great sentiments.  This was such an easy card to whip up using one of the houses and the super little reindeer and Santa stamp.  I embossed the background layers with one of my snowflake embossing folders, pop dotted the main image, added some green ribbon, a snowflake charm and I heat embossed one of the sentiments in white on red cardstock, then added some red gems.

Every Saturday we post a brand new challenge for the week and you can enter as many times as you like! Each submission will enter you into the monthly prize......which is a $40 gift voucher to the krafty shop!

We've also got a fun sketch for your inspiration for November! You don't have to use it but if you need a little extra kickstart in your mojo, feel free to use it any time!

Out of This World again!

I have made a shaker card using the Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps 'Out of this World' set.  I love this little guy and he or she is suitable for so many occasions and for grown ups or kidlets.  There are three adorable main images and three lovely sentiments, as well as several stars and a partial planet to stand them on.  I didn't use the planet as it would not be visible under the sequins. 

I used a white card base and all the rest of the card is made using Doodlebug 'Hallowe'en Parade patterned paper pad. 

I hope to post a card a lot sooner the next time.

Happy Stamping,

Out Of This World!

Well, first of all, I have to apologize for posting so rarely these days.  So many issues seem to get in the way of what I really love to do.  And I'm retired!!  I'm obviously doing something wrong.

Welcome back to Day FIVE of our AUGUST Krafty Peeks at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps!

Today is the final day of peeks and the release party is

THIS AFTERNOON at 1pm EST on Facebook!

Are you going to join in and help us

celebrate ALL the new sets?

There's no stamp set on the planet quite like this one

from artist Cheryl Grant!

It's called OUT OF THIS WORLD!

Now don't forget!!! It's also CHALLENGE DAY and as always, during release week the theme is ANYTHING GOES!!! So create a card, scrapbook page or altered item with a Kraftin' Kimmie stamp!! Use any sketch, any design, any embellishments because Anything Goes! Have some krafty fun and join us this week because we'd LOVE to see your KKS designs. You have a week to play with this challenge (until August 24th) and at the end of the month, we'll announce a WINNER from all of the weekly challenges for all of August! We hope you can play along for your chance to WIN a $40 Gift Certificate to use on ANYTHING you want in the shop!! Wanna win??

My card uses the little round guy with his tongue out.  There are two other adorable little aliens or monsters or whatever you would like them to be.  I can't wait to ink them up too, I think I am going to use them for Hallowe'en cards for my grandchildren.  There are two other sentiments besides the one I used on my card.  There are also some stars and part of a planet for them to stand on.  Such a great set.  Anyway, I digress.  For my card base, I used S.U. Gumball Green and all of the matting was made with long retired Only Orange, which I still love.  The patterned paper I used is called Hip Hip Hooray and it's from Doodlebug.  I added a few star buttons, some blue ribbon and my sentiment is on a punched oval of the Gumball Green.  This was such a fun card to make.

All the Krafty Design Team members listed below have lots of super sweet creations to share with you today featuring the OUT OF THIS WORLD stamp set! Be sure to hop around and leave lots of love at each and every stop because one lucky commenter will WIN a gift voucher to the shop! The winner will be announced at the LIVE Online Release Party

Have fun hoppin' around to the blogs of all the Kraftin' Kimmie DT members.

Finish the Inside of Your Card Challenge!!

 Welcome to another fun Krafty Challenge!

Are you ready for some krafty fun??

We want you all to play along and we love to see your creations so let's get KRAFTY!

This week we want you to 

FINISH THE INSIDE OF YOUR CARD!   

For my card I used the sweet fairy from the Magical Friends set.  To decorate the inside, I used some of  the patterned paper from the same Crate Paper Botanical Gardens pad that I used on the card front.  I cut the message area out of the same pink card stock I used for the card base.  I added a few little black gems to pretty it up a bit.  I do love decorating the insides of my cards, but don't often take the time.  So that's my little effort.

Submit your krafty design for your chance to WIN! You have until Friday, June 29th to enter this challenge! Keep in mind, all entries are welcome but you must use a

Kraftin' Kimmie Stamp in order to win.

Each Saturday we post a new challenge and you can enter as many times as you like!!! And each submission during the month will enter you into the monthly prize which will be....

I had so much fun making a card with one of the super cute otters, from the newly released set From The Otter Side.  I used So Saffron for my card base and Soft Sky for all the matting and my wave border.  The patterned paper is Perfectly Plaid Chill from Lawn Fawn.  I added some buttons and linen thread and I used one of the fabby sentiments from the set, Hello From the Otter Side.  It was perfect as I have sent the card to my son, who lives in Edmonton, while we are in South Ont.  It's kind of the Otter Side, isn't it?

Happy shoppin'!

These little bees and accessories are so super cute and fun to colour up in no time flat.  I just made a 6 x 6 card using two of the little bee images and one of the sentiments and they are all great.  I managed to find some of my Barely Banana, even though it's been retired for a few years.  I used it for the base and used Soft Sky for the matting.  I cut out the bees with my Spellbinder circles and framed them using Spellbinders Scallop Circles.  The patterned papers are Spring Things by Doodlebug.  I also added a little bee button and a few sequins.  That's it!  Oh, and I even used the sketch for February.  At least my version of it.

Happy Stamping and be sure to leave comments for a chance to win some of the awesome new stamps.

This is my effort using the just re-released Fairy Trinkets from Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps.  I also used two of the gorgeous images from the set Magical Friends. 

The card base and trinket frame are S.U. Flirty Flamingo.  I matted Baja Breeze onto the base and coloured the images with Copics.  The patterned papers are Secret Garden by Kaisercraft.  The ribbon is Flirty Flamingo too.  Such fun to play with these stamps and so many ways to use them.

Happy Stampin',

Spring!! Where is it?

Welcome to another great Krafty Challenge!

For those of us that just got dumped with MORE SNOW and that's us!! .....we really need this theme! haha!
This week's challenge is all about SPRING!!!

For my card, I used one of the adorable bunnies from the Hoppy Friends set, which was released in March 2017.  For my card base, I used Calypso Coral, also for the matting of the strip on the right and the sentiment, which is also from the Hoppy Friends set.  The matting of the patterned papers is Gumball Green and the papers are Weekend Adventure from Bo Bunny.  I finished up with some matching Prima flowers.  I hope it looks like spring.

Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps!! This week it's all about LOVE!!

The day of love is quickly approaching and whether you have a husband or wife, a boyfriend or girlfriend, some furry babies, your grandma....we need to tell people that we LOVE them all the time!! So our challenge this week is LOVE and HEARTS!!

I used the stamp set Furry Angels for my love card.  I so love this set as I always want to send a card to friends or family who have lost a pet.  I know this is rather a sad card, but I don't think you can find a situation with more love involved.  I went with gentle pastel colours for my creation, using long retired S.U. Almost Amethyst and True Thyme.  There is also an angel kitty in this set, three lovely sentiments and a set of paw prints.

Create a card, scrapbook page, altered item etc. with a SUMMER theme and submit your design for your chance to WIN! You have until Friday, February 2nd to enter this challenge! Keep in mind, all entries are welcome but you must use a Kraftin' Kimmie Stamp in order to win.
