Krafty Challenge - The Great Outdoors!

Hello and Happy Easter!  It's time for another Kraftin' Kimmie challenge and this week our hostess is CHERYL!  And her challenge is called the GREAT OUTDOORS!  So create a card, scrapbook page or altered item with a Kraftin' Kimmie stamp that features the great outdoors or nature in some way!! Have some krafty fun and join us this week because we'd LOVE to see your KKS designs. We hope you can play along for your chance to WIN some Kraftin' Kimmie rubber!

I picked an image from the World of Wonder set (something about this image just really speaks to me!) and coloured her up with my copics.  I used some newer MME papers and added some natural trim and some mesh ribbon for texture.  I die cut some butterflies and added them for embellishment.  I'm so glad the weather is finally getting nice enough that we can spend more time outdoors!  

Check out the wonderful creations by our Krafty Girls and Guests featuring this week's challenge!! If you join us and play along, you could WIN a Kraftin' Kimmie Stamp!

Krafty Challenge - Your Favorite KKS Image!

Welcome back for another awesome challenge here at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps!  We are LOVING your submissions!  It's awesome to see so many of you creating with KKS!

This week our hostess is SHERI!  And her challenge is to use your FAVE KK image.  So create a card, scrapbook page or altered item with a Kraftin' Kimmie stamp that is either your favourite...or maybe one you haven't even used yet that you've been dying to play with.  We hope you can play along!

Check out the wonderful creations by our Krafty Girls and Guests over on the challenge blog.  If you join us and play along, you could WIN a Kraftin' Kimmie Stamp!

I pulled out Gadget Girl for my card.  This was a stamp that I didn't get when it was released, but fell in love with it after seeing so many gorgeous samples.  I've had it for a while now and decided it was perfect for this week's challenge.  I paired her with some MME papers and added some crinkled ribbon, brads and stitching.  I coloured her similar to one of our favorite family movies - The Incredibles.

I've used one of the new Sassy Sprites - Ivy and paired her up with some older MME papers.  I kept the card and layout simple so as to let the image really shine.  I sponged around the edge of my Nestability with some Versamagic Wheat ink and a sponge dauber to give it a bit of definition as well.

OH and here's something exciting! The FIRST 30 orders of $30 or more after the new stamps are released tonight AT 7:30pm EST will each receive a package of 20 YARDS of assorted coloured TWINE for FREE with their order!

I used Melaina for my card today and paired her up with one of the new Fabulous Frames!  I stamped Melaina first, then used some Eclipse masking tape and stamped and cut a mask.  I applied it over top of the stamped image and then stamped the frame over top.  So it looks like her wings and hair are jutting out over the top of the frame - cool, eh?  And not so much work since the lines weren't fiddly on that side of the image.  

I coloured her with my copics and paired her up with some Echo Park Garden Party papers.  I sponged around the edges and added some crochet trim and a faceted button as well.  

I also added some Spica pen on her wings - it's so much more glittery in person!

I used the second frame in the set on the interior of the card and added one of the fabulous sentiments from the frame set as well.  I love this one and what a super easy way to finish off the inside.

Krafty Peeks - Fairy Friends!

Welcome back to day three of our MARCH Kraftin' Kimmie Peeks!  Today we are excited to share TWO super cute new sets by artist Cheryl Alger!  You'll recognize these characters from previous sets.....Lulu, Lexi and Lucas.  And they are just as cute as can be, perfect for springtime.  These new sets are.......DOWN ON THE FARM and FAIRY FRIENDS!

All the Krafty Girls and Krafty Guests listed below have lots of super sweet designs to show you, so be sure to hop over to each of them!  And while you're there, be sure to leave a comment because we are giving away one of EACH of the new sets!  You could WIN one of the new DOWN ON THE FARM and FAIRY FRIENDS stamp sets. {All of this week's winners will be announced at the online party on Saturday night!}

Then come on back tomorrow to check out MORE new stamps we have to show you, this time by artist Annie Rodrigue, along with a new CHALLENGE.  And ALL the new stamps will be available on Saturday night at the KKStamps Shop.

I decided to use Lulu today - I love the way she's floating on that cloud!  I paired her up with some older MME papers and another older Mojo Monday sketch.  I added a bit of ribbon and some orange washi tape.  I also glittered up her wings and wand but it's not showing well in the picture.  I must admit that this sentiment gave me pause - but only because of the most recent season of The Bachelor (my guilty little secret)!  

Krafty Peeks - Pretty Little Pixies!

Welcome back!  Today at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps we are sharing a new set by the totally talented Emilie Goulet!  We've got a perfect set for spring.  Let us introduce..... PRETTY LITTLE PIXIES!  Emilie has created a fun set of outdoor adventure images for your cards and scrapbook pages!

All our new MARCH 2013 stamps will be available on Saturday at the Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps Shop!  And don't miss the online PAR-TAY to celebrate! Come on back tomorrow because we'll be revealing two new stamp sets by Cheryl Alger!

I kept today's card pretty simple!  I paper pieced my pixie's dress and cut her out.  I added one of the new Fairy Trinkets as well and left it all on a Kraft base.  The papers are from one of the newer MME releases (and of course I can't remember the name - Notable, maybe?!).  The layout is an older Mojo Monday sketch as well.  

Kraftin' Kimmie Peeks - Spring Trinkets!

It's time for Kraftin' Kimmie's MARCH 2013 RELEASE!  We are kicking off the *New* MARCH Kraftin’ Kimmie Stamps previews today and we're excited that this month we have TWO sets of fabulous TRINKETS!  We'll share one set today by itself and one set tomorrow in combo with some new images.  Today we’d like to introduce you to a beautiful new set of ….SPRING TRINKETS!

These circular sentiment stamps have been created and designed by the totally talented Krafty Girl, Nicole Aspinall. They are made especially to fit in your 1 3/8ths and 1 ¾ inch punches, for quick and easy cutting.  This month we are releasing the SPRING Trinkets set which includes EIGHT trinkets in each set with four of each size and they come as both positive and negative images, so you can use your black or brown ink with the positive stamps and use your coloured inks with the negative ones.

Today we have awesome inspiration from the Krafty Girls and Guests so hop around....and be sure to comment at each and every stop because one lucky stamper is going to WIN the new SPRING TRINKETS set!  {All of this week's winners will be announced at the online party on Saturday night!}

I chose to use this awesome Mother's Day trinket out of the Spring Trinkets set.  This is the larger of the two, and I stamped it with Versamark ink on Hot Fudge cardstock and then embossed it with seafoam powder.  I pulled out my Doodlebug Hello Spring papers and added some layers.  The layout is an older Mojo Monday sketch.

Don't forget!  We are having another amazing ONLINE RELEASE PARTY!  It's happening this SATURDAY at our Facebook fan page....and you can get ALL the details HERE!  All the new stamps we're sharing over the next few days will be released on SATURDAY NIGHT.

I pulled out the Spring Sweeties set illustrated by our very own Nicole Aspinall and matched it up with some papers from a Doodlebug pad.  I used a layout from the Deconstructed sketch and kept the layers minimal.
