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!! And don't forget...if you NEED it all, there's a Gimme Kimmies Kit which features ALL the new October stamps at a discount!! But only for a limited time!

There's also got lots of new goodies in the shop including new paper pads, enamel dots, etc from companies like Bo Bunny, MME, Kaisercraft, American Crafts and more! There's restocks of EZmount, inks, poster paint pens, liquid applique, Wink of Stella brushes, Glamour Dust etc.! All ready for those winter creations!

Now let's celebrate with our NEW RELEASE and get hoppin' and shoppin'!!

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!
ALL of our new CLEAR October stamps will be available on Saturday night at the Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps Shop!!! Be sure to join us for an hour of celebrating the new stamp sets, fun and prizes on Saturday evening at our LIVE ONLINE RELEASE PARTY!

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?

Thanks so much for stopping by!  Now let's celebrate with our NEW RELEASE and get hoppin' and shoppin'!!

Krafty Peeks - You are Beautiful!

Well hello there!!  Happy New Year!  It's been eons since I've made a card - but I finally have one for you today!  Since the last time I posted, we bought a new house, sold our old one, and moved.  But when I saw this month's Kraftin' Kimmie stamps, I begged Kimmie to let me stamp with them!!  And because she's amazing - she agreed!!  So...welcome to day ONE of our JANUARY 2015 Kraftin' Kimmie Peeks!!! We have so many goodies in store for you for our first release of the year and we're thrilled about today's new set especially! So here we GO!!

Today we are THRILLED to introduce a new artist to you! Well, actually you may remember that she used to design for us a couple of years ago and now SHE'S BACK!! It's the totally talented Emilie Goulet!!! Be sure to welcome her back and we are previewing her very newest AMAZING set today!! It's called YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL!!

These gorgeous framed ladies and sentiments are perfect for those thinking of your cards to tell someone just how special they are!! They're also great for scrapbook pages or your pocket page books as well!

I paired up this sassy lipstick girl with some older Doodlebug paper.  I added a sequin flower on top of a felt flower, as well as a wooden arrow for embellishment.  I was going for different textures and I think it all works.  I just love this entire set!!

As you hop around the blogs today, I know you will agree that the designs the Krafty Girls and Guests have created with them will knock your socks off!!! Be sure to leave some love at every stop because one lucky random WINNER will receive a $10 gift voucher to the Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps Shop!!

I used another one of the images from the new Beachy Keen set.  I just love this one because it combines a couple of my favorite things - reading and sitting by the beach.  I kept the layout super simple and used a sentiment flag from the Echo Park Summer Bliss paper pack.  I'm not sure if you can tell, but I covered the beach ball with a couple of coats of Sakura Clear Glaze pen - so it's all shiny!

March 2014 Krafty Release Hope - Wanna Hang?

We're so excited! It’s our MARCH RELEASE Day at KRAFTIN' KIMMIE STAMPS and we’re celebrating with a KRAFTY HOP!! So grab yourself a cuppa joe, sit back and be prepared for some krafty eye kandy! We're going to inspire your creations with our fun, new stamps!

Over the last few days in our Krafty Peeks, we have shared lots of AMAZING new stamps from all our artists for our March release! We’ve got something for everyone!! We’ve got a very unique new SLOTH set from Thai called WANNA HANG? There's an awesome new a-MOO-zing new set from Cheryl called DOWN ON THE FARM 2! Lastly, we are SO excited to share a SASSY new Moonlight Whispers stamp set....SHOW STOPPERS!

I picked a stamp from the new "Wanna Hang" set, since I hadn't had a chance to get them inky yet.  I went for a clean and simple theme.  The tummy on this guy reminded me of a Care Bear (remember them?) so I went with it and I'm calling it "whimsical".  I stamped him on a kraft coloured card and coloured him up with my prismacolor pencils and blended with gamsol.  I added some washi tape and a couple of felt flowers and left it at that since the edges were already scalloped.  

You will get to see ALL of the new images today as you sit back and enjoy our MARCH Krafty Hop! As you hop from blog to blog, be sure to leave a comment at each and every stop because some lucky stampers will win packages of these incredible stamps from the new release!!
