Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps October Release Krafty Hop!

We're excited because it's FINALLY October Release Day at KRAFTIN' KIMMIE STAMPS!! We're releasing all the new CLEAR stamp sets we've been previewing all week and we’re celebrating with a KRAFTY HOP!!

I used the new Christmas Cheer set for my card.  I kept it pretty simple and flat for mailing!  I absolutely ADORE the movie Elf so it was a no brainer for me to choose this sentiment for my card!  I added a little Buddy the Elf hat onto my sentiment and used some older Doodlebug papers that reminded me of a candy cane forest!  LOL!  I LOVE this new sentiment set and know I'll get a ton of use out of it for my Christmas cards this year!   

You will get to see ALL of the new images today as you sit back and enjoy our October Krafty Hop! When you’re done hoppin’, be sure to head over to the Kraftin’Kimmie shop, because ALL the new CLEAR stamp sets are NOW available!!

Kraftin' Kimmie Peeks - Christmas Cheer!

Oh my goodness!  It's hard to believe that my blog has been silent for this long!   Obviously I haven't been stamping - I've been taking a bit of a break.  But when I saw this amazing new Christmas Cheer set from Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps - I begged Kimmie to let me help out with the sneak peeks.  I picked this wonderful sentiment (I {heart} the shadow and distressing in the lettering) and paired it with some Doodlebug Christmas papers.  I couldn't help but use a die to make an iconic Starbucks cup to go with the "warm memories" part.  I distressed everything up and added some burlap ribbon.  I love clear stamps - and these ones are such high quality, they stamp beautifully!! 

The set features EIGHT amazing sentiments that can be used as the focal point of your creations or they can be an addition to another image and also for the insides of your holiday cards!
You'll see the new stamps in action and featured in today's blog hop with the Krafty Girl Design Team!! Below you will find links to the blogs of all the Krafty Girls who have goodies to show you today and while you're visiting their blogs, be sure to leave some love at each stop because one lucky stamper from all the comments this week is going to WIN some $ to the Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps Shop!

I've used one of Emilie's new images from the You Are Beautiful set.  I just adore these girls in their frames.  I coloured her up with my copics and added some more shading with my chalk pencils.  I used some older Echo Park papers (Yours Truly) and cut up a Doodlebug doily as well.  I used my Sakura Stardust pen to add some gold accents to match my scallop trim.  Isn't she beautiful?
