Here's the card I created for our release hop.  I must confess that I desperately wanted to make my unicorn into one of the "My Little Pony" unicorns, but I lack the artistic ability to do so!  I think it would have been super fun to draw some designs on her flank, just like the toys have.  But alas, I had to settle for giving her rainbow hair.  The horror!  LOL!  

Now that I'm done with the dramatics, I coloured her up with my copics, using mainly the E41, 42 43, 44 combo for her body and snout.  I picked some Echo Park Everyday Eclectic papers to match and added some brads and a crochet flower.  I'm not sure you can really see, but I added lots of glitter to her horn and her mane and tail.

Not only do we have this fantastic new set available for you....there's MORE!! To celebrate the end of a fabulous summer AND the fact that those kiddos are starting a new school year (let's face it, you need to reward yourself for the fact that you made it through all those weeks with them home...heehee!), we are having a BACK TO SCHOOL SALE! We've got over 40 fabulous stamps on special 20-50% OFF this weekend only!!

I chose to use the genie image from the set and coloured her up to match my Basic Grey Serendipity patterned paper.  I coloured all her sequins and lamp with a clear spica pen to make them all shiny.  I used one of the sentiments in a circle in the corner, and although I chose this one in particular, there were many that suited.  I love that everything coordinates!

Welcome back! It’s Krafty RELEASE Day at KRAFTIN' KIMMIE STAMPS and we’re celebrating with a KRAFTY HOP! There are SO many SPOOKY and SWEET new stamps to SEE this month and we've got them in a fabulous showcase just FOR YOU!

Over the last few days in our Krafty Peeks, we have shared lots of AMAZING new stamps from all our artists! We’ve got something for everyone!! Lulu is back from Cheryl Alger.....and she's all dressed up in her costumes....it's HALLOWEEN LULU! We also have an adorable set of trick or treaters from Emilie Goulet called TOO CUTE TO SPOOK 1 AND 2!! And of course we have an amazing new set of six scrumptious CANDY GIRLS from Annie Rodrigue that are simply DELICIOUS! OH and don’t forget the BRAND NEW line of stamps that will coordinate with ALL your images.... called HALLOWEEN TRINKETS by the lovely Nicole Aspinall.

You will get to see most of the new images today as you sit back and enjoy our AUGUST 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!! And when you’re done hoppin’, be sure to head over to the Kraftin’Kimmie shop, because ALL the new images are NOW available!

And of course, as always, we have our Gimme Kimmies Kits available for those of you who ‘need it all’!! The stamps are grouped together by artist and are available at a discount, but only for a limited time!!

I used one of the new images from the Too Cute To Spook 1 set for my card.  I just love the grin on this little ones' face!  I coloured my image up with copics and used some older Halloween papers from My Mind's Eye.  I also used one of the fabulous new Halloween Trinkets for my sentiment.

Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps - Candy Girl Peeks

Hello all!  I hope you've been enjoying the Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps peeks for the August release.  I've been under the weather and haven't had a chance to play along until now.  Today is Saturday which means it's challenge day.  On release weeks, we try to stick to a sketch and we've got a great one for you this month!  It's also Moonlight Whispers preview day and this month we're all about the candy!

I've chosen to use Cocoa Chocolate and I coloured her mup in racy red and black!  I absolutely love this sentiment that comes with her.  I used some Echo Park This & That papers and some suede ribbon and felt flowers for embellishment. 

Hop over to the challenge blog to see what my fellow Krafty Girls and Guests have created for you.  And don't forget to leave comments on the blogs with peeks as two lucky stampers will each win some of Annie's new stamps!  And if you join us in this week's sketch challenge, you could win free stamps as well!

August Sketch For You To Try - with Verve!

It's the first Saturday in August and that means it's time for a new Sketch For You to Try!  Jen has another fabulous sketch for us and this month we're sponsored by Verve Stamps!  I'm a big Verve fan!  Love their Plain Janes and all their fabulous sentiment stamps.  I chose to use the Words of Wisdom set for my card and paired it up with some MME Lost & Found papers.  I sponged each layer, stitched almost every layer and made my own flower out of burlap.  This isn't my usual style, but I'm happy with how it turned out!  I also combined a whole bunch of Dare to Get Dirty challenges for this card - fun stuff!  

Here's this month's sketch.  I hope you'll play along with us!

You'll definitely want to hop over and see what the rest of my sketch sisters have cooked up for you - they're amazing!

Kraftin' Kimmie Challenge - Out of The Box

Hey everyone!  I'm back with a card for this week's Kraftin' Kimmie challenge.  I'm your hostess this week and my challenge to you is to use the "Out of the Box" technique.  This is where you leave a portion of the image outside the shape of the image panel.  A tutorial for this technique can be found HERE.

So I pulled out this rocker image from the Smells Like Teen Spirit set and paired him up with some Doodlebug papers and a hexagon die.  I also did some distressing and added some brads.  It's also Dare to Get Dirty time over at Splitcoast and I'm submitting this card for a couple of the challenges over there as well!

I hope you'll come and play along with us.  If you use a Kraftin' Kimmie image on your card, you could win the stamp I've used above. And don't forget to check out what the amazing Krafty Girls and Guests have created for you as well over on the challenge blog!  Thanks so much for stopping by!
