KKS Challenge #107
Hi there!! welcome to this week's Kraftin' Kimmie's Stamps challenge. Today's challenge is to use heat or dry embossing on our cards. So I'm going to take you back a couple of few years when I first got my Cuttlebug. I thought this thing was the best tool ever!!! I especially loved how quick and easy it was to emboss. No stylus tool that left your hand aching that you had to take a break from crafting. lol
So needless to say I bought a whole bunch of embossing folders, I don't use them nearly as often so it was kinda nice to pull them out for this challenge.
I used this lil cutie from the Snips and Snails set, coloured him using my copics matching to the MME All spice paper, added some Baker's twine and a couple of buttons. For the embossing I used one of those narrow CB embossing Borders.
Also the Frugal Friday specials are now on at the KKS store so pop by and check out those deal and also drop by the KKS challenge blog to see what the rest of the Krafty gals came up with for this week's challenge.
Thanks for stopping by and enjoy the rest of your weekend. :)

KKS meets One crazy stamper
Welcome to One Crazy Krafty HOP!! Today Kraftin’ Kimmie Stamps is combining forces with One Crazy Stamper to bring you an incredible blog hop filled with lots of krafty goodness!!
Kraftin’ Kimmie Stamps is an online Canadian stamp company with whimsical stamps from several different artists, catering to cardmakers and scrapbookers with lots of different styles! If you like to colour….you’ll love our images!!! Check us out at our krafty SHOP! www.kraftinkimmiestamps.com
For today's KKS and One Crazy Stamper's Blog Hop I used Voodoo Lady. I stamped her in Versafine vintage sepia ink and added just a touch of colour using my copics. I distressed the heck out of this card. I inked, tore, crumpled, sanded and even burned it. lol I think I accomplished the look I was going for. You'd never believe that this paper was from a Christmas 6 x 6. (Kaiser Craft Dec. 25th) Even the tag was Xmasy, but I hid that part.
One Crazy Stamper is a fantastic Canadian crafting store with an online site as well as a brick and mortar store located in Bolton, Ontario! They carry all kinds of paper, embellishments, Copic markers and SO much more!! Check them out here: www.onecrazystamper.com

KKS Challenge #104 Make It Masculin
Today I am the hostess of this week's Kraftin' Kimmie's Stamps challenge. I know one of my biggest challenges is to make a masculine card. Personally I am always drawn towards the girlie stuff because I have two little girls of my own so when it comes time for a masculine card...I don't have any.
Today I decided to use Bruce the Shark. I don't think there will be much time left to BBQ as this morning I saw the first bit of snow for the season...but it didn't last. Just long enough for my girls to squeal "It's Snowing!!!"
Check out what the rest of the Krafty gals designed for this weeks KKS challenge.
Thanks for stopping by, and have a great weekend!!

KKS Challenge #103, Pin it Down.
Hi there and thanks for stopping by to check out this week's Kraftin' Kimmie's Stamps challenge. This week's challenge was to use a pin on our card...well I don't have any pins!!A challenge indeed. I've never really used them on my cards before. But then I did remember a card that I made with a kit that had a pin in it, so... I swiped it! lol
I used Sarah shopper, I think MOST women can totally relate to this sentiment, "I prefer to call it 'supporting the economy."
I love shopping, even if I don't come home with a single thing I love to look!!
To see more of this weeks challenge pop over to the KKS challenge blog.
Also Frugal Friday Specials are now on!!! We have SIX awesome Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps on special this weekend for 40-50% off!!!... and October Gimme Kimmies Kits are only available until Sunday!! And our RETIREMENT SALE is still on now!!

KKS Challenge # 102
Today's Kraftin' Kimmie's Stamps challenge is to make a Monochromatic Card. I decided to use Winnie because I love this stamp so much. One of my fav's!! Being a hairstylist this image makes me giggle.
So I used some papers from the Bobunny Garden Girl collection. Lots of rich autumn colours. I don't tend to use a lot of purples in my cards but I really like these papers. More of a plum colour really.
So here's my card...
Winnie comes with the Sentiment "Bad Hair Day doesn't even begin to cover it."
To see more monochromatic cards head on over to the KKS challenge Blog.

Sneak peaks day two...
We're back again to give you another sneak peak of this months Kraftin' Kimmie's Stamps.
Today we are featuring the artist Emilie who has created some cute critters. I decided to show this cute lil bunny "Let's go for a ride"
How cute eh?!! I had gotten these great designer papers from a Dollar Tree in Birch Run this past summer but they had no name on them. Really great colours! I love teal, brown and pink. I used a Stampin Up sentiment as well as there scalloped punch, but I also added a spellbinder loopy die cut behind it. I added some star dust stickles around the image and created a bit of a snowflake border with my Martha Stewart punch. Pretty simple, but that's kinda my style.
So I forgot to mention yesterday, that you have the chance to win some stamps. Simply leave a comment and you could be the lucky winner to win all of Emilie's five new images. The more comments you leave, the better your chances.
Good Luck, and pop back tomorrow for Day Three... :)

KKS Challenge #99
This week's Kraftin' Kimmie's Stamps challenge is to make your card Sparkle and Shine.
Easy Peasy! Right!? I love my bling, so no challenge here. I did tone it down this week, it could have gotten out of control. I already had Joseph and Mary coloured so I didn't want to add too much Pizazz to the Nativity scene. So I kept it simple by adding a bit of stickles to the star and a bit of shimmery ribbon.
To see more of this week's challenge cards, pop on over to the KKS Challenge blog to see what the rest of the Krafty Gals created.
Happy Thanksgiving to all my fellow Canadian girls!!
Don't eat too much... ;)

KKS Challenge #98
This week's Kraftin' Kimmie's Stamps challenge is to do some paper piecing on your card.
I had not yet had the chance to colour Mizuki from our June release and came across some paper in my stash that I thought would work perfectly with her. I inked around most of the edges with some Tim Holtz distress ink. Added some decorative corner pieces with a cuttlebug die cut and I handmade the flower with a SU punch layering technique and spritzed it with some Tattered Angels glimmer mist.
I also used a Fiskars border punch to create the lace edge and finished it off by adding a few gems.
Thanks so much for stopping by and if you'd like to see more of this week's KKS challenge head over to the Challenge blog to see what the rest of the Krafty girls came up with.
Have a great weekend.

KKS Challenge #97 & Frugal Friday specials
This week's Kraftin' Kimmie's Stamps challenge is a sketch.
Give it a flip, and here's what I came up with...
I used Balancing Elf, from our latest release. Ain't he cute?!! I finally parted with some of this MME Lime Twist paper that I absolutely love. I am quite happy with how my card turned out, now to see if I'm able to part with the card. lol The Merry Christmas stamp is from a Just Rite set.
For this week's Frugal Friday's specials, Kimmie has Roxy, Halloween Miles & Maisie, Sabrina the Spinner, Krafty Quotes #2, Tallulabelle and Sharing Cocoa on sale 40-50% off. Pop over to the store for more information.
To see more of this weeks challenge head on over to the KKS challenge blog.
Have a super weekend. Mine will be off to a good start because I'm heading out to SGD Garage sale in the morning, so hopefully I'll get some good finds. :)

Hi there and welcome back to day three of Kraftin' Kimmie's Stamps sneak peaks and KKS challenge #96 Christmas in September.

KKS Sneak peaks day two...
Welcome back to Day Two of KKS sneak peaks.
Today we are featuring our artist Emilie who has created several adorable images. I love them all!! So much fun to colour, but I kept whistling Christmas carols...and it's only September!! I just couldn't help it. lol
First off, lets meet Toymaker Elf
and so that he doesn't go hungry...Baking Elf
Seriously? How cute!!!
Now don't forget to leave a comment. The more comments you leave the more chances you have to win.
And today there will be 3 winners, two will receive 3 of Emilie's new stamps, and one will receive the new Christmas Interior Sentiments set. I used one from this set on the card above. They are a very nice size for the inside of your cards. Just what I've always needed. :)

KKS Challenge # 95
This week's Kraftin' Kimmie's Stamps challenge is A blast from the Past. Use one of your first KKS stamps on your card this week.
Charlotte would have to be one of my all time Fav's. However you're going to be seeing a lot of that girl today so I chose to use Lola Davinci.
I kept my card pretty simple especially with the "splashy" $ store paper I used in the background. I was going to colour up another image as Lola's art piece. But then decided to have it be a self portrait. So a quick colour copy and Voila. Sneaky eh? ;) saved me some time. lol
Join us down memory lane and check out what the other Krafty Gals dusted off for this week's KKS challenge... here.
Just teasing, there would be no dust. ;)
