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.

You'll recognize these characters from previous sets.....Lulu, Lexi and Lucas! And they are just as cute as can be, perfect for springtime!!!

Hope you can join us for all the fun and excitement and prizes!!! You can read all the details about how you can join us RIGHT HERE!

With Pixie Lulu I coloured her with my copics then carefully trimmed her out and added some pop dots to make her stand out a little bit more. Added a flourish of bling behind her and I added the sentiment to the bottom corner heat embossing it with some silver.

Now how sweet is Lexi with this little lamb. I think she's one of my favourite's from this release. I wanted to keep the colours really soft so I chose to go with one of my favourite colour combos, teal and brown. I found the perfect papers in a MME, Breeze 6x6 pad. Added some sheer ribbon and primas and it came together quite nicely.

All the Krafty Girls and Krafty Guests listed below have lots of super sweet designs to show you, so be sure to hop over to each of them!

KKS challenge #157

This week's Kraftin' Kimmie's Stamps challenge is Baby It's Cold Outside.  I chose to make a tag using one of our Holiday Trinkets. With the holidays approaching rapidly it will make a nice addition to any gift. The background of the tag I made awhile ago as a make n' take but never really completed so I added to it. I think we made it by stamping the snowflakes with versamark ink and then using panpastels over top of it. It was along time ago so I kinda forget the steps of this technique.

I heat embossed the trinket with silver embossing powder onto navy blue card stock and used my spellbinders to cut it out. I then added some more layers behind it using my new spellbinders that I picked up at Winners for $9.99! Sweet deal, so I got two. :)

I finished it by adding some sparkly ribbon and some gem flourishes which made me think of  the snow being whipped around on a blustery day.

Don't forget about our amazing RETIREMENT SALE going on NOW! There are over 200 of our stamps on SPECIAL 20-75% OFF and a good bunch of them are retiring, so scoop them up while you can! They are SELLING OUT!! 

Also our November Gimme Kimmies Kits are only available until Sunday night, so grab the new stamps at a discount now!! ALSO we are releasing the December stamps a little early so that you can order them in time for the holidays!!! Krafty Peeks start on WEDNESDAY!!!

Check out the wonderful creations by our Krafty Girls and Guests featuring this week's challenge!! If you join us and play along, you could WIN the gorgeous stamp of EVA, as featured on Cheryl's beautiful card!

Well welcome back!! It’s Krafty RELEASE Day at KRAFTIN' KIMMIE STAMPS!! And we’re celebrating with a KRAFTY HOP!! Over the last few days in our Krafty Peeks, we have shared lots of AMAZING new stamps from all our artists! We’ve got something for everyone!! We've got two new characters from Cheryl Alger........it's LEXI'S WINTER FUN and SNOW DAY LUCAS!! We also have an adorable set from Emilie Goulet called OH BABY!! And of course we have an amazing new set of SIX elegant DASHING DANCERS from Annie Rodrigue that are simply stunning! OH and don’t forget the exclusive line of sentiment stamps that will coordinate with ALL your images this season.... called WINTER TRINKETS by the lovely Nicole Aspinall!!!

 OH AND there is a SPECIAL image we are releasing to you today and we haven't shared it with you yet! See if you can find it along the hop! It's the AWESOME new stamp that the participants at yesterday's Krafty Day received in their goodie bags!! It's called KRAFTY KATASTROPHE and we know you'll love it!!

 I kept both my cards very simple letting the main focus be on just the image with just a few cute details so it wasn't completely plain. With Lucas I added some crystal lacquer underneath his sled and then sprinled some chunky glitter for snow. On Lexie's card I cut out some felt to mimic the snow. The sparkle on my trinket I achieved by stamping the image on white and then covering it completely with an adhesive sheet and then covering it in glitter. I really love the way it turned out.

You will get to see most of the new images today as you sit back and enjoy our OCTOBER Krafty Hop! As you hop from blog to blog, be sure to leave a comment at each and every stop because some lucky stampers will win packages of these incredible stamps from the new release!!

More KKS Sneak Peaks...Day three

Welcome back to day three of Kraftin' Kimmie's Stamps sneak peaks. Today we are sharing with you Emilie's latest creations. Babies :)

With my card today I kept it simple with the focus on this cute lil babe. I trimmed him out carefully not to give him his first haircut ;) The paper's I used are from a 4x6 Nana's Nursery by DCWV. I framed the baby using my spellbinders, and a little ribbon and some dew drops in each of the corners. 

Sweet and simple.

We are kicking off the *New* OCTOBER Kraftin’ Kimmie Stamps previews today and first off, we’d like to introduce you to a beautiful new set of Trinkets!!! We are very excited to share with you our….WINTER TRINKETS!!!

KKS Challenge #147

Hey there and welcome to Kraftin' Kimmie's Stamps challenge. This week's challenge feels very appropriate because our temperatures have certainly dipped and the fall season is upon us. So our challenge is to use fall colours on our cards this week.

I decided to play with Nettie from our latest release.

I was going through all my 6x6 pads trying to find some nice fall papers and came across the perfect one, All Spice from MME. Perfect rich warm colours to play with. I  paper pieced her dress and hair bow, but it probably kinda hard to see that.  Added a bit of cream lace and a flower from Michael s Recollections line.

To see more of this week's challenge cards or to play along, pop over to the KKS Challenge blog,  Also this week's Frugal Friday specials are now up.

Thanks for stopping by. Enjoy the rest of your weekend.

KKS Challenge day

Today we are sharing with you Annie's newest creations. She has designed some sweet girls that are all in the holiday spirit. Today's Kraftin' Kimmie's Stamps challenge is a sketch and I chose to play with Penelope. I didn't use any Christmas paper because I thought this Sweet Tooth collection from BoBunny worked perfectly. Plus it matched my little dimentional sticker perfectly. :)

So here's the sketch...

and here's my card.

Day One of KKS Sneak Peaks...

Hi there, today is day one of Kraftin' Kimmie's Stamps sneak peaks. Starting off with the newest Trinkets, and the theme is....Halloween!!! Kinda scary to think that it's really not that far away. Kids will be back in school in just a few short weeks and the Fall festivities will be upon us. :)

But let's just think about Halloween for now. The trinkets come in a set of six and I've made two cards to show you.

I typically just stamp the trinkets onto some coloured paper but this time I've coloured them with my copics. I really like the way they turned out. Very vibrant. I matched the colours with some paper's from an old 4x6 DCWV paper pad. I added some net like ribbon and a bit of wire and curled the ends.

For my second card, again pretty simple. I don't know if you can see it very well but the black piece I embossed with my cobweb Cuttlebug folder, added some bling and voila. Easy Peasy.

Be sure to leave comments along the way one random winner will have the chance to win the new Halloween Trinket set. Check out some more sneak peaks at the KKS challenge blog.

Thanks for stopping by and I'll see you tomorrow.

KKS Challenge #139 Summer Themed

Hey there Krafters. This week's Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps challenge is to make a Summer Themed card. So I had this image of Arianna coloured from a long, long time ago. I added a bit more shading to her and then carefully trimmed her out and I added some pop dots to her and the sea horses, added a bit of ribbon and pearls and voila.
I love teal but I rarely pair it up with orange... I'm going to have to do this more often, I really like the combo together. 

Anyhoo, to See more of this week's Summer Themed cards, pop over to the Kraftin' Kimmie's challenge blog and also the frugal friday specials are also up on the KKS store page.
