KKS Challenge #197 - School's back in, Bookmarks needed.

Welcome back for another totally fun challenge here at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps!!! We've got a great challenge for you again this week!! Come along and play with us! 

This week our hostess is ANGIE!! Her challenge for you this week is School's Back IN!! So she'd like for us to create a BOOKMARK this week (with a Kraftin' Kimmie stamp) and share it here! Get creative! You can pretty much use ANY KKS image to create a fun bookmark, but some are especially perfect!! Have some krafty fun and join us this week because we'd LOVE to see your KKS designs. We hope you can play along for your chance to WIN some Kraftin' Kimmie rubbah!!!

So for my challenge this week I have decided to challenge you to make a bookmark. My girls both love to read, and they often have more then one book on the go so bookmarks are great!! Especially when there this cute, right!? ;) I made this bookmark by just using my circle punch on the top two corners to cut off a 1/4 of the full circle. I hope that makes sense. I used an image from one of my ALL time favourite sets, Girls just wanna have fun!   And I also added a sentiment from a retired set, but thought it went nicely with this. I cut it out so that it would look somewhat like a thought bubble and then used some stickles around the edges for a dreamy kind of look.

Be sure to check out this week's FRUGAL FRIDAY SPECIALS which are up until Sunday night with a selection of our favourite stamps on 25-50% OFF!! Not to mention we've got some brand new 6x6 Paper Pads! OH and our FREE GIFT WITH PURCHASE is coming to a close on Sunday night as well!!

Now go ahead and check out the wonderful creations by our Krafty Girls featuring this week's challenge!! If you join us and play along, you could WIN a Kraftin' Kimmie Stamp!!!

Happy kraftin'!

I gotta say I really enjoyed this little project. I should have taken a picture of it that was head on so that you can see that it is a box, but you'll get the idea over the next couple of days when I reveal the other three sides. :) 

So I had a pile of chipboard coasters that I always had good intentions of making a cute little gift box, but I never really got around to it, till now. Simple really, cover the coasters with your fav paper with modge podge. Then add whatever little embellishments you like to your satisfaction. I'll start with Lucas and all his prezzies!! Somebody has been a good boy. I also added a couple of little images from the Sleigh Mail set. 

Then come on back tomorrow to check out MORE fun new stamps we have to share with you! And ALL the new stamps AND the new HOLIDAY KARDMAKING KIT will be available on Saturday night at the KKStamps Shop!!

Happy hoppin'!

KKS September Sneek Peeks Day 2!!

It's time for Kraftin' Kimmie's SEPTEMBER 2013 RELEASE!!!!! We've been dying to share this month's new STAMPS with you!! It's CHRISTMAS time! We've got SO many exciting things going on....so let's get to it!

We are kicking off the *New* SEPTEMBER Kraftin’ Kimmie Stamps previews today and we're SO excited to share these new stamps with you from artist, Nicole Aspinall!!! Today we’d like to introduce you to these amazing new vintage postage style sets ….SLEIGH MAIL and BUILD YOUR OWN TRINKETS!

These fabulous images are perfect for your Holiday cards, tags, altered items, boxes and treat bags!! And you'll see this in the amazing samples today!

So I decided to fancy up just a plain envelope by heat embossing some snowflakes and Rudy the Reindeer on it as well as a new image from our Sleigh Mail set.

This one I covered a coaster in some really glittery paper then I ran it through my cuttlebug using a large SU snowflake die cut. Added the trinket and a sparkly gem to the centre and you have a nice tag or even a decoration for your tree.

We have lots of inspiration from the Krafty Girls and special Krafty Guests, so hop around....and be sure to comment at each and every stop because one lucky stamper is going to WIN BOTH of these new POSTAGE sets!!! {All of this week's winners will be announced at the online party on Saturday night!}
