KKS October Release Day is Here!!

We're so excited! It’s our OCTOBER RELEASE Day at KRAFTIN' KIMMIE STAMPS!! And we’re celebrating with a KRAFTY HOP!! So grab yourself a cuppa joe, sit back and be prepared for some krafty eye kandy! We're going to inspire your creations with our new stamps and MORE!

Over the last few days in our Krafty Peeks, we have shared lots of AMAZING new stamps from all our artists for our October/Winter release! We’ve got something for everyone!! We’ve got TWO sweet new sets featuring our favourite kiddos from Cheryl……HAVE AN ICE DAY! and YOU'RE SO COOL! And we have TWO new setS of fun winter birdies and kiddos from Thais Narciso called...... I'M SNOW HAPPY and YOU'RE SO TWEET! and also artist Rachelle Anne Miller has FOUR awesome new stamps we'll call the CUDDLE UP Collcection! Eeeee!!

So I had so much making the last decoration I thought I'd make another with the Have an Ice Day set. Again I just covered some coasters with some dp and mod podge, coloured the images with my copics. I made the ice with a cool iridescent sticker that I had in my stash, it's actually clear so I put a sheet of white behind it. I thought it turned out really great and had that shimmer and sparkle that ice has. Now I need to find a place to hang it,...or maybe it'll be a gift for someone. Anyway I hope you like it.

Not only do we have amazing new rubber stamps for all your winter creations.....but we've made your creating even EASIER with our *exclusive* new KRAFTY KARDMAKING KITS!!! We've designed our OCTOBER KARDMAKING KIT specifically with super cool cards and tags in mind! And we've also got ADD ON packages, in case you want MORE of the goodies found in your kits!

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!!

Happy kraftin'!

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.

KKS challenge118

Hi there and welcome to this week's Kraftin Kimmie's Stamps challenge. This week our challenge was to use 2 KKS stamps on our card. At first I had no idea what I was going to come up with but then I came across these two images and thought they would work perfectly together.

Jack and beach Miles (who I believe has now retired) are having a day at the beach. The papers I used i think are from a DCWV paper pack. Otherwise I kept the card very much lie a scene. I hand cut the clouds out and inked around the edges of them with some soft sky ink from Stampin Up and added some stickles. I also stamped some star fishes that came with Calliope one of the KKS mermaids. I stamped them on some patterned paper and added a bit of glitter with my Sakura pen. I put some crystal lacquer on Jack's beach ball to make it all shiny and make it pop.

I think all the Krafty Girls did an outstanding job with their cards this challenge. A truly talented bunch of girls I'm proud to be on a design team with :) Check out their cards here.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great weekend!!

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... :)
