Inspirational Wednesday - Autumn Pumpkins!

 

 Good morning Krafty Friends!!  

Welcome to another Inspirational Wednesday,

the day of the week that we provide you with a little extra

inspiration for your krafty projects!! 

This week the featured stamp set is...Autumn Pumpkins!

For this card, I stamped the image with Kraftin Kimmie Wicked Black ink and coloured it up with my Copic markers.  After fussy cutting, I matted the image with ovals, stamped the sentiment and then splattered a little gold glitter ink over top.  The kraft cardstock was dry embossed and the card was assembled after adding a couple of orange glitter gems.  

Make sure you grab this featured stamp set for 40% off in the shop!! You need this set for your fall and Thanksgiving creations.  

Happy Canadian Thanksgiving everyone!

 

Autumn Pumpkins! – Kraftin Kimmie Stamps

October Krafty Peeks…Day ONE!

  Who's ready for some brand NEW Krafty Goodies?

It's time to bring you NEW stamp sets and layering stencils

from Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps!

In case you haven't heard, we have moved the releases to every other month but the same number of wonderful products!

So we will be sharing FOUR new stamp sets (including a Winter Krafty Komeback) and TWO new sets of stencils over the course of this week!

Today we are SO excited to kick things off with these fiery dragons and naughty elves from artist Sabrina van Vloten called 

FLAMING HOLIDAYS!!  

I made this cute and simple fun fold card using, Flaming holidays, and the holiday ornaments layering stencil.  I coloured up the dragon images with copic markers.  The stencil was inked up using Kraftin Kimmie inks in Magical Midnight (which is also the ink of the month!) and Lucky Limeade.  For the ornament tops I used stickles glitter gel in gold.  The inside of the card was made with a mix of Magical Midnight ink and clear glimmer ink mixed together and then splattered.

 

As you head out on today's Krafty Hop you'll get to enjoy lots of amazing creations from our Krafty Team featuring FLAMING HOLIDAYS and our totally unique new HOLIDAY ORNAMENTS layering stencil in combination with some of our other incredible products such as our Krafty Kolours Hybrid Inks!

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.

August Krafty Peeks...Day FOUR!

  Good morning and welcome to our

FINAL day of AUGUST Krafty Peeks!

Today we are revealing our last stamp set which will be releasing tomorrow afternoon at 3pm ET along with all our other stamp sets and stencils!

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

 

It's called HEY THERE, PUNKIN'!

It was originally released in 2014!

I used the Krafty Komeback set for a larger 5 x 7 size card.  The image was coloured with Copics and die cut into a circle image.  The simple design and copper coloured elements from my stash, highlight the beautiful fall image.  

For those who are new around these parts, Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps will be 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 on Saturday, August 17th at 2pm ET in the Krafty Friends Facebook Group for our LIVE Release Party!

All FOUR of the new stamp sets and the TWO new stencils will drop
at 3pm ET in the Krafty Shop!!
See you there!
