Challenge #687 - Snow and/or Stencils

 Good morning and welcome to our 

New Monthly Challenge

at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps!


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

This month our challenge themes for you are:

Snow/Stencils

You can choose one theme or combine them!

It's a Choose Your Own Krafty Adventure!


I used both themes - snow and stencils.  I used the image from 'Frosty Fun'  for my main image. Frosty Fun! – Kraftin Kimmie Stamps After stamping the image in Kraftin Kimmie wicked black ink, I coloured it with my Copics and then fussy cut.  I dry embossed a piece of white cardstock using one of the stencils from the 'Let it snow' layering stencil set.  Let It Snow Layering Stencils! – Kraftin Kimmie Stamps  I found a cute die in my stash with snowflakes that made a perfect shaker card.  The sentiment is from 'Snowball Fight' Snowball Fight! – Kraftin Kimmie Stamps and stamped in Dapper Denim ink.  The shaker fill was in my stash as well.  I am trying to use what I have.

Every month we post a brand new challenge with a choice of themes to choose from, and a mid month inspiration post with even more creative ideas! You are welcome to enter as many times as you like.

These must be new creations and you are welcome to use any stamp, however, using Kraftin' Kimmie Stamp products will earn you double entries!

October Krafty Peeks...Day FOUR!

 Good morning and welcome to our

FINAL day of October Krafty Peeks!

Today we are revealing our last stamp set which will be releasing tomorrow afternoon at 1pm ET along with all our other stamp sets and stencils!

Today we are revealing...a Krafty Komeback!! 


It's called HAVE AN ICE DAY!!
And it was originally released as rubber in 2013!


 I chose the Hockey Player image for my card.  Hockey is definitely a winter activity enjoyed by my family (watching for me-not playing)
The hockey player was stamped and coloured with my Copic markers.  The rink is ink blended with Blue Bay ink then cut out using the Frosty Snowman stencil as a guide.  There is also glossy accents on this to make it look shiny like ice.  I added a background of embossed snowflakes and a couple of flags along with the sentiment to finish things off

Add this Krafty Komeback set to your order .  It is perfect for all of those winter activities, either cards, scrapbook pages and planners.

For those who are new around these parts, Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps is celebrating 15 years this fall so we have a lot of retired images most people have never seen before!  (And there are lots of requests for past stamp sets!) So once in a while we bring a set back and this one will be back this weekend!


Join us tomorrow (Saturday) at NOON ET in the Krafty Friends Facebook group as we celebrate our FINAL release of the year!
All FOUR of the new stamp sets and TWO new stencils will drop at 
1pm ET in the Krafty Shop!

I used this sweet stamp set to make a little card.  The stencil was made using opaque crackle paste on top of grey cardstock.  The snow hills were made with a piece of white velvet paper in my stash.  The sweet little snow people were coloured with my copic markers and a puffy paint was added for snow details.

 Good morning Krafty Friends!!  

Welcome to another Inspirational Wednesday,
the day of the week that we provide you with a little extra

Happy Fall everyone!!  I chose Fall Activities for this challenge, and the "Leaves are Falling" stamp set.Leaves are Falling! – Kraftin Kimmie Stamps

  


I thought that I would shake things up a bit with this card.  I stamped the image using Kraftin Kimmie Wicked Black Ink Wicked Black Ink Pad! – Kraftin Kimmie Stamps and coloured it up using Copic markers that I matched to my patterned paper choice.  I made a shaker card using tiny leaves that were cut from some patterned leaf paper in my stash.  I also added a few sequins in fall colours.  I used some Sandy Shores Ink Sandy Shores Ink Pad! – Kraftin Kimmie Stamps for the sentiment and ink blending around the brown cardstock of the card base to give some depth to the plain cardstock.  

A few small leaf die cuts and this card is finished!  I hope that you like it.

Who loves the "Air Mail" stamp set? **NEW Air Mail! – Kraftin Kimmie Stamps  I adore the little image of the bear in the helicopter.  Of course, if you know me, I had to change the bear image and make it a panda. I stamped the image in Kraftin Kimmie Wicked Black Ink and then coloured it up with Copics, in blue, gray and silvers,  to match my papers.  A simple and easy card.
