Welcome back for another awesome challenge here at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps!!! We are LOVING your submissions!!! It's awesome to see so many of you creating with KKS!!! Keep them coming! This week our hostess is Amanda!! And her challenge is to Fussy Cut your image!!


I think Lexi looks extra sweet cuddling with this bunny. Now when you first look at my card you may think, "She didn't fussy cut anything" but I did. The bunny is totally paper pieced in two different patterned papers. It was fussy enough for me. :p lol

So create a card, scrapbook page or altered item either with an image that you have had to cut out! Have some krafty fun and join us this week because we'd LOVE to see your KKS designs. We hope you can play along!!! Hey! Have you heard about our Frugal Friday Specials that are on this weekend! Six of our favourite images on special 20-50% OFF but just until Sunday night!

I'm so happy with the way my Mary Poppins card turned out. My style is usually very girly, cutesie,and bright colours. Whereas this is more elegant and almost a bit of a vintage feel. Yes, maybe?
Anyway I usually pick my papers out first but this time I coloured  and then just picked out odds and ends from my scraps that I thought would work.. I think most of the papers are from a DCW  slab, but I'm really not sure the names.
I've had these Cuttlebug corner dies that I never use that I thought would be a nice touchand the lace edge I made with  my Martha Stewart border punch. Added some flowers and some black ribbon and voila.

KKS Day Four of Sneak Peaks...

Welcome back to day four of our FEBRUARY Kraftin' Kimmie Peeks!!! Today we are excited to share TWO ADORABLE new sets by artist Cheryl Alger!!! You'll recognize these characters from previous sets.....Lulu, Lexi and Lucas! And they are just as cute as can be!!! These new sets are.......LIL' BUCKAROOS and SOMEBUNNY LOVES YOU!


I used a little loot bag that I think I got from a dollar store and altered it slightly. Adding cute little Lucas to it just makes the bag even more appealing. The cloud and grass are MFT die cuts.  I also added a couple little flowers with some pearls and a few glittery butterflies that I made using my MS punch .
Super cute and super easy. :)

KKS Ch. 165 Love is in the Air

Hi there. I've had a little vacation with my family to Disney so it's been a little while since I've posted anything. So here I am, back with a challenge for Kraftin' Kimmie's Stamps and this weeks challenge is Love is in the Air.

So I chose to use Artemis from last January's release. So many stamps that's it's nice to get out some of the older ones.

I used some fun paper's from MME, Lucky in Love. This card will be for my hubby for Valentine's Day.


You don't see much of it, but the paper has arrows all over it. The sentiment is from I heart you Tabs, by Whimsy Stamps. I've had them for well over a year and it's the first time I've used them. Sad really. I wish there was more time to play in my craft room. I added the heart border using my MS border punch and a couple of primas and gems.

Nothing says love like a flying Arrow. lol   Love is indeed in the Air. ;)
