Welcome back to day TWO of our JANUARY Kraftin' Kimmie Peeks!!! Today we are excited to share ANOTHER supah cute new set by artist Cheryl Alger!! Here comes another one.....FAIRYTALES!!! We are sharing samples today featuring.......ONCE UPON A TIME 4

 I used the same papers from DCWV Linen Closet for both my cards. I thought they had a nice elegance about them. I used my spellbinders to cut each of them out adding a bit of ink to them first. Finished them off some prima flowers and some lace.

KKS Release Day! Woot Woot!!

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 sweet new summertime sets from Nicole.......GOOD VIBRATIONS and SUMMER LOVIN’!! We’ve got two sweet new sets from Cheryl……SHELL ME A STORY and TOTALLY TUBULAR!! And of course we have an amazing new set of SIX awesome stamps in our BEACHY GIRLS collection and they are simply A-mazing!! 

I want to be this girl relaxing in the sun with a cocktail. Sounds heavenly.  Unfortunately Mother Nature has denied us the sunny forecast for today and it was mostly overcast all day :( I think tomorrow it is to be nicer, fingers crossed. Anyway, this is Margarita. I added some flowers from my stash that I thought looked kinda tropical and added a pearl brad to the centres. The flourish is from a Cheery Lynn die, The sunglasses were a little dimensional sticker from Jolee's Boutique.

These two cards are made with the Good Vibrations set. I love this sentiment. My girls actually got me one of those word plaques for Christmas that said, "I love you more than Cupcakes." Awww. I loved it!!

You will get to see most of the new images today as you sit back and enjoy our MAY Krafty Hop!

I've been enjoying creating things other then cards, so when I saw this decorative birdhouse at the dollar store I thought of Lulu. I painted the top of it with some bright pink craft paint and then added a scalloped edge using my Martha Stewart border punch. I covered the rest of the wood with some designer paper from K&Company, Berry Sweet.

I used spellbinders to create the loopy frame around the window and the flowers along the bottom is a sticker that I found at the $ store. Finished it off by adding the sentiment and a few butterflies that I punched from some really glittery paper. I'm very happy with the way it turned out, maybe a gift for someone with a new home.... :)

Thanks for stopping by and your next stop on the hop is the very talented Elaine.

Day three of KKS sneek peeks...

Hello again! Welcome back to day three of Kraftin' Kimmie's Stamps sneak peaks. Today we are featuring Annie's latest mater pieces. I wish I had her talent, but instead I'm happy to play with the awesome images that she creates for us.

As much as I detest dandelions popping up in my yard, if they were as cute as these little girls I wouldn't mind so much. Lol

Meet Dandy Lion.

I wanted to make her really magical and delicate looking so I coloured most of her using my copics but for her dress I outlined her in a pale blue and then added lots of star dust stickles. I thought about using some flock, but I really wanted the sparkle.


The papers I used are from DCWV laundry linen line. (one of my fav's) I love the soft teals and brown tones in this 8x8 pad. Added some prima flowers and some clear buttons with some metallic wire that I used my stylus to curl into spirals.

Join us tomorrow for a Krafty hop and the official release of Kraftin' Kimmie's march release, and more chances to win some new rubber.

Day three of KKS sneek peeks...and a challenge.

Welcome back my krafty peeps. Today is our last day of peaks with the official Kraftin' Kimmie's Stamps  release starting tomorrow!!! So for today we're featuring the Annie's latest creations. They are beautiful, as always.
Also this week's Kraftin Kimmie challenge was a sketch from our hostess Nicole and Athena is the prize if you'd like to play along. :)

Here's the sketch...

and here's my take on in using Aphrodite.

I loved colouring Aphrodite, I think she looks so elegant. I thought these papers from Prima called the Melody collection looked great with this image. Very soft, but rich looking. If that makes any sense. lol

Again today anyone leaving comments has the chance to win 3 of Annie's Goddesses, and there will be Two winners selected.

So go and check out the rest of the DT's work, and be sure to leave some love along the way...you may just win some new rubber!! :)

Thanks for stopping by.
