1506690_10152729337291014_5622446376697036056_nGood Saturday morning!  It’s the weekend (happy dance time)! It is also day THREE of the OCTOBER Kraftin’ Kimmie peeksand we have my favourites of this release to show you!

Mailbox-full

Today we are SO thrilled to share the newest set of super cute kiddos by artist CHERYL GRANT! This adorable set features our kids Lexi, Lucas and Lulu having some holiday fun and is called CANDY CANE KISSES! This fun set includes THREE main images plus FIVE awesome sentiments!

Mailbox-cuToday, I chose to team up Lexi with some Doodlebug paper, colouring her up with Copics to coordinate with the paper.  I have tried to keep my Christmas cards a little less “dimensional” this year to save myself on postage, but I think the black borders really help the layers pop and give the card dimension without height!  I think this is one of my favourite cards of the season so far! An image that is a blast to colour, and rich on details – it really does steal the show!

Since it is Saturday, it is also challenge time, and this week our challenge hostess is TANGII.  Her challenge is ANYTHING GOES, so create a card, scrapbook page or altered item with any stamp (but if you use a Kraftin’ Kimmie stamp you’ll double your chances to WIN)!

All the Krafty Girls and Guests listed below have lots of super FUN designs to show you featuring these awesome new stamps from Cheryl! And while you’re hopping around, be sure to leave a comment because we are giving away a gift card!!! You could WIN some Krafty $$$ to spend at the shop!!!! {This winner will be announced at the Facebook release party tonight!} Thanks for stopping by, and tell me – have you started your Christmas cards yet?

It’s day two of the October sneak peeks at Kraftin’ Kimmie Stamps, and we have a cute one for you today!  Stocking-full

This set, set from artist THAIS NARCISO features THREE main images and FIVE awesome coordinating sentiments! This fabulous set is called MERRY CHRIST-MOUSE!

IStocking-closeup decided to team up this stocking cutie with some Doodlebug paper, and then coloured him up with Copics to match.  I worked with some simple layers – I am trying to keep my Christmas cards a little flatter this year so it doesn’t cost a fortune to send!  What do you think – does it seem like it is missing something?

Have I got a treat for you today!  It’s time for the HOLIDAY STAMP SET RELEASE from Kraftin’ Kimmie stamps, and you are going to love all the new images that Kim has up her sleeve! Today is day ONE of the seek peaks, and we are showcasing two sparkly new Moonlight Whispers stamp sets by Annie Rodrigue! 

Pompom-cuNow, I am absolutely in love with both of the beauties featured today, but I decided to start with POMPOM FAIRY.  I coloured her up in some Christmas-themed colours to coordinate with the Doodlebug paper I still had from last Christmas (it’s still as cute a year later), and then had a bit of fun doodling and adding a sentiment.  I really loved all the details on this stamp and wanted her to take centre stage, so I decided to use a centre step card to give Miss PomPom lots of space.

Below you will find all the Krafty Girls & Guests 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 is going to WIN some $$ to the Kraftin’ Kimmie Stamps Shop!

Thanks for stopping by!

Happy National Card Making Day!

 Happy National Card Making Day!

Happy Saturday!  It is challenge day at Kraftin’ Kimmie Stamps, and this week, our hostess is Krafty Girl, BECKY! bannerHer challenge is called EMBELLISH IT, so create a card, scrapbook page or altered item with a Kraftin’ Kimmie Stamp or any other stamp and be sure to use at least one embellishment.

October-4-closeupMy “go to” embellishments are almost always ribbon and adhesive rhinestones.  I thought the black and white chevron ribbon would be a perfect match with this darling panda stamp from the “Wild About you” set.  I also decided to go with a few black ahdesive rhinestones – to tie together the black matte on the stamped image and also to stand out a bit from the printed paper.  Oh, and that message hiding behind the bow actually says “sweet”! 😉

Kim has put a number of her favourite stamp sets on SALE this weekend in our FRUGAL FRIDAY SPECIALS at 25-50% OFF so be sure to check them out!  And don;t forget to join us today for our LIVE Online Krafty Krop to celebrate our FIFTH Anniversary and World Cardmaking Day!!
