August Krafty Peeks...Day THREE!

  Good morning and welcome to

 Day THREE
of our August Krafty Peeks!

If you've been with Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps any amount of time, you know that August is always our Fall/Halloween Release so that you have lots of time to order, receive and create your new goodies for the season!

So today we have an adorable new Halloween stamp set for you by artist Sabrina van Vloten called

SWEET & SPOOKY!

I used the Sweet & Spooky stamp set to make this cute mini slimline shaker card.  The 2 images are the perfect highlight for the shaker feature.  Inside the card I used a sentiment from the stamp set and used the stencil for a sucker image.  Sweet!!

AND check out the scrumptious new coordinating stencil!

It's called HERE FOR THE CANDY!!!

It's a set of TWO layering stencils to create this colourful and delicious background!  Yummy!

Happy hoppin' and see YOU tomorrow for our final day of awesome goodies!

August Krafty Peeks...Day TWO!

  Welcome back!

Did you enjoy yesterday's Peeks?
Well, we are back with MORE fun stuff!

Today we are spotlighting a new stamp set
from artist Neda Sadreddin called 
Air Mail!

Eeeee!  Such cute and fluffy little characters in the sky!!

Head out on today's krafty hop and you'll see so many fun creations from the Krafty Team that are just.....plane amazing!

I used the rocketship image from "Air Mail" to make this card today.  I coloured this image with my copics after stamping with Kraftin Kimmie Wicked Black Ink.  I also dry embossed with the stencil for the inside of the card.  The 'moon' die was used to create a hole in the front of the card that I made into a clear peek a boo using clear acetate in between the card base and the front patterned paper of the card.  I cut another moon shape from matte silver cardstock for the moon and added a few stars.  You can now see the moon behind the images that are on top of the acetate.  

Be sure to come back to the blog again tomorrow to see new products from our August Release and then join us on Saturday, August 17th at 2pm ET in the Krafty Friends Facebook Group for our 
LIVE Release Party when all the new goodies will be available!

Make sure you order this set.  The possibilities are endless.

Krafty Girl, PATTI is our Hostess with the Mostess this week!

I chose to use, "My Happy Place"

 for this challenge.  I like a good cup of coffee every once and a while. I made a larger 5 x 7 card to showcase the larger image and stamped it up with Kraftin Kimmie Wicked black ink and coloured it with Copic markers.  The little coffee beans were cut from the paper and I added some liquid glass to them, for a very simple embellishment.  The sentiment is stamped using Kraftin Kimmie Marvelous Mocha ink.  My Happy Place! – Kraftin Kimmie Stamps  The accents match the ink of the month, Tempting Tangerine.

This month's inspiration is the Ocean or WILD CARD.  Of course, I chose the wild card.  I chose my favourite (current)  stamp set,   Pandamonium.  

If you know me, I adore pandas and the colour purple.  I used both to make this slimline card.  I also made what I call a "faux shaker" card.  I used sequins placed randomly all over the background of the cutout.  The pandas were coloured with Copic markers, C9, 7,6, and of course purple.  

Do you have a favourite stamp set and colour? Let's see what you create!

July Skrappy Challenge!

  Good morning, my Krafty Friends!

It's JULY and that means it's time for a new
Skrappy Challenge
at 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! 

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

I chose to use our new Stamp Set, Sum-sum-summertime **NEW Sum-Sum-Summertime! – Kraftin Kimmie Stamps to make this ATC.  The image was stamped with Kraftin Kimmie Wicked Black ink Wicked Black Ink Pad! – Kraftin Kimmie Stamps and coloured using Copic markers.  I used the Summer Sunburst stencil and inked it up with a light layer of Sandy Shores ink Sandy Shores Ink Pad! – Kraftin Kimmie Stamps, and then a little Bashful Blush ink Bashful Blush Ink Pad! – Kraftin Kimmie Stamps to fill in and edge the outside of the white cardstock.  After fussy cutting the images were placed onto the cardstock and the sentiment was added with Wicked Black Ink.  This image reminds me so much of Neopolitan Ice cream.  Yummy.  What is your favourite flavour of ice cream?

*NEW - Our Challenges are now combined with the 

Saturday Challenge and the Christmas Challenge in the Krafty Friends FB group! So feel free to enter any or all of these - the monthly prize is a $20 voucher to the Krafty shop!!!  Woohoo!
