October Krafty Peeks... Day THREE! Season's Tweetings!

Today is our final day of Krafty Peeks for the October Release

at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps!

We are so excited to share a fabulous new set

by artist Sabrina von Vloten

called...

Season's Tweetings!

These sweet bird friends are ready to help spread holiday cheer!

I chose the owl image from this set to make my mini slimline card. The background was stamped with the sentiment and then embossed and splattered with gold shimmer. A die cut of a musical line was added to the front of the car and the Copic coloured owl was added with foam tape. Adding a black mat frames the image and nicely blends in the music die cut.

Check out Season's Tweetings! in so many amazing creations today as you hop around the Krafty Team's blogs! You'll also see the beautiful new stencils, Geo 3 and Tree-mendous along the way!

Everything will be released after our LIVE Online Release Party TODAY! All the fun takes place in the Krafty Friends facebook group beginning at 2 pm ET! See you there!

October Krafty Peeks Day TWO - Santa Stop Here!

Welcome back to Day TWO of our October Krafty Peeks!

Are you excited about what you've seen so far!? Are you ready for more?

I hope your answer was yes because we've got more fabulous fun for you today!

The stamp set we are 'peeking' for you today is from

artist Neda Sadreddin

and it's called.....

Santa Stop Here!

We've got Santa and Mrs. Claus with so many fun holiday accessory stamps! You'll definitely want to mix and match these with your other sets!!

I used the Geo 3 stencil and Ruby Red Ink, with a dusting of Clear Shimmer spray over the top, for the background. Santa was coloured with Copic markers and the sentiment was stamped and high lighted with a gel pen to fill in the letters. Popped up with some foam tape on a black background so that everything stands out and this is ready to go!

Check out Santa Stop Here! and our new stencils in so many awesome creations today as you hop around the Krafty Team's blogs!

You'll see more of our October goodies all week, and then everything will be released after our LIVE Online Release Party on Saturday at 2 pm ET in the Krafty Friends facebook group!

Inspirational Wednesday! Believe In Your-ELF!

Hello Krafty Friends!

It's INSPIRATIONAL WEDNESDAY,

the day we provide you with a bit of extra krafty inspiration

to help you get creative with your krafty stamps!

Hi everyone! This week we are featuring the fabulous Believe In Your ELF stamp set, which you'll find on sale at 40% off all week!

I adore this cute little elf. He looks like he is trying to get all of the lights up and may not be doing so well doing it! Using somewhat traditional colours, I coloured this little guy with my copics, the light strand and lights are coloured with glitter gel pen and cut him out with a fancy circle die. The sentiment is from the same set. I used Kraftin Kimmie "Fresh Fields" ink to ink blend the edges of my papers. It was finished off with a cotton ribbon bow and foam tape for added dimension. This card is now ready for giving.

Make sure you head to the shop and add Believe In Your ELF to your cart while it's 40% off!!
