Hey There Punkin!

Kraftin Kimmie new release august (hey there, punkin')Aug 14 fullI am beyond excited to share with you the new release from Kraftin’ Kimmie Stamps!  This time of the year is always a little bitter sweet for me – then end of summer home with my two gals (my favourite time of the year), but heading back to a job that I really enjoy.  So it’s fun to think about the things that I am thankful for, even though it is only August!

OAug 14 closeupkay, so this first set is a beauty from artist Cheryl Grant featuring three sweet images with our fave kiddos…..Lexi, Lulu and Lucas, called HEY THERE, PUNKIN’!! I chose to work with Lexi, mostly because I absolutely love the look on her face!  It was an absolute delight to colour (and I have to tell you that I have coloured it up 3 times since I received this set).  I think it will be my “go-to” stamp not only for Thanksgiving projects, but thank-you cards for the fall season!

Now, 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 you need to pop around to see this adorable set!  Be sure to leave a comment because we are giving away a gift card to spend at the shop!

Thanks for stopping by, and I will see you tomorrow!

Okay, I know the weather has been a bit unpredictable this year, but Christmas in July???!!!!  Really???!!!

Christmas-challenge-front

Well, “weather” you are ready to think about Christmas yet or not, we have a fun challenge at Kraftin’ Kimmie stamps this week for you.   This week our hostess is STEPHANIE and her challenge is CHRISTMAS IN JULY! So create a card, scrapbook page or altered item with a Kraftin’ Kimmie Stamp or any other stamp, using a holiday theme!

Christmas-challenge-closeupThis week, I decided to work with one of my favourite stamps from the winter release last year – from Lexi’s Winter Fun set.  I coloured up Lexi and her snowman pal with Copics to match some DCWV paper I had kicking around and then added a bit of May Arts eyelet ribbon for some texture.  I love how the angle of this stamp makes it so easy to highlight a sentiment!

Don’t forget that Kimmie has put a bunch of great product on sale this weekend – stamps and paper!  So head on over and stock up!

Thanks for stopping by today!

Ahoy, Sailor!

Lexi fullWell, it’s new release time at Kraftin’ Kimmie Stamps, so I get to share some sneak peeks with you over the next few days!  Today we are sharing a cute new set featuring Lulu, Lexi and Lucas, by artist Cheryl Alger called AHOY, SAILOR!!

Lexi-sailor-closeupI decided to work with Lexi today and coloured her up with Copics.  I know that blue and pink are not your typical sailor colours 😉 but I thought it would be a fun way to add a bit of femininity to the image and coordinate it with the cute Echo Park paper (Splendid Sunshine). I topped it off with a satin and grosgrain bow from May Arts, which is actually a deep navy colour (not as black as it appears in the photo).

All the Krafty Girls and Guests listed below have lots of super FUN 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 the new sets and YOU could WIN!! 

Thanks for stopping by, and be sure to pop by again tomorrow because we have more sneak peeks for you, and more chances to win!

Happy Birthday (and happy shopping)!

It’s a special day today – not only is it our NOVEMBER RELEASE Day at KRAFTIN’ KIMMIE STAMPS, but it is also my mom’s birthday!  So I am celebrating with a cute little card featurign one of the new relesese stamps from the TOGETHER IS BETTER set!

Lexi-balloon-closeupI teamed Lexi up with some MME Alphabet soup paper and then coloured her up with my Copics. It’s a little hard to tell in the pictures, but I also topped off her balloon with a bit of Glossy Accents for some great shine!  Lexi is a great addition to any “love” themed card, but I also think she makes a darling birthday card!  I hope mom agrees!

You will get to see ALL of the new images today as you sit back and enjoy our NOVEMBER 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!
