December Skrappy Challenge!

    Good morning krafty friends! 

It's December, and that means it's time for a brand new
SKRAPPY CHALLENGE

with Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps!


 The theme of course is ANYTHING BUT A CARD!

For this challenge you can make anything that strikes your fancy....except a card!
So design a new scrapbook page, bookmark, tag, altered item, planner page, art journal, ATC cards...whatever you like!

Here are some Skrappy projects from our Design Team to inspire you! 



I made the ornament with a wood slice from the Dollar store.  It was stamped in Kraftin Kimmie Wicked Black ink and then coloured with Copics.  It is going to make a nice ornament/gift tag.





Just make sure to include some Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps products and make sure it's a new creation!

December Saturday Challenge #675 - Christmas and/or Winter!

   Good morning and welcome to our new 

Monthly Saturday Challenge

Are you ready for another krafty challenge to inspire you and help get your creative juices flowing?
We've got some fabulous ideas for you 
and can't wait to see what you create!

This month our Saturday Challenge themes for you are: 

Christmas and/or Winter


You can choose one or both - whatever inspires you!


Krafty Girl Tamara is hosting our challenge! We take a little break over the holidays so we will not be posting a mid-inspiration post this month, but you can still enter all month long!


***

I made a 6 x 6 card for our challenge using the cute stamp set, Wooly Wonderland.  You can use this for just about any occasion.  

For the background I used a piece of a 6 x 8 paper pad and trimmed it to size.  The lamb was coloured and glittered up (of course!!) and attached with foam tape.  The sentiments were stamped on the base paper, cut out and added with foam tape.  

I am truly pleased with the way this turned out.




I hope you have a chance to get krafty with this challenge. 
Happy Holidays!

***
PS. Be sure to check out the Krafty Advent Kalendar reveal in the Krafty Friends Facebook Groupwhere one of the Design Team will be live each day to inspire you at 10 am ET!

November Krafty Peeks... Day ONE! Sweater Weather!

     Who's ready for lots of brand new Krafty goodies?!

It's time for our November Release Peeks to begin 


Today we have an adorable set of winter friends,
designed by Sabrina van Vloten,
 and it's called.....
Sweater Weather!


These sweet animals are enjoying frosty activities, bundled up in their cozy sweaters, and they even have some hot cocoa! Plus the accessory images are perfect to mix and match! As a bonus, be sure to check out our Build a Snowman stencil below, which has an icy rink sized to fit our friends' pond perfectly!

As you hop around the design team's blogs today you'll be able to check out Sweater Weather in action in combination with our other new 
November Kraftin' Kimmie products!  

We've also got TWO new Krafty Stencils for this month's release to help add some funky fun to your creations!  

They are called....
Ugly Sweaters!



and 
Build a Snowman!
(a 2 piece layering stencil!)


This icy rink is sized to fit our Sweater Weather pond perfectly!
I coloured the little critters up with Copics and added them to the skating rink image that I made using Kraftin Kimmie ink in Ocean Opulence. I used the stencil to ink blend and then stamped over the image and finished off with a final coat of transparent gloss paste.  It made for the perfect skating rink.  I also added an image to the inside of the card too.  We all know that after a skating adventure, hot chocolate is the perfect finish!





Both designs are perfect for all your cards, scrapbook pages, mixed media and more!

You'll get to see all of our brand new goodies in action over the next few days of the November Krafty Peeks and everything will be released at our LIVE Release Party 

on  Saturday, November 18th at 2 pm EST in the Krafty Friends group


For now, hop around and check out some amazing creations from the Krafty Team! Our fabulous designers can't wait to share their inspiration with you!
