Wow!! Wonderful Wednesday again.

Well, this time for Wonderful Wednesday, I thought it was time to make another Christmas card.  I so love these little reindeer.  They work so well for many different things.  They are from the Reindeer Games set and there are four designs, all of which are so cute and there are several adorable accessory stamps such as a yule log, a north pole sign, a hat, star and a couple of little presents.  Also there is a gorgeous little log cabin scene.  On top of that, there are five sweet sentiments, all of which are perfect.  In fact I have a bunch of these little guys cut out and ready to go on Christmas tags.  So cute!!

Okay, so I used S.U. Pool Party for my card base and matted the Santa Express patterned paper onto Poppy Parade cardstock.  I used one of the sentiments from the set, 'Sending You Warm Thoughts This Christmas' on one of the strips of cardstock and added some Sprinkles Shapes holly near the top.

Now don't forget to create your own WW item and enter it for a chance to win some Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps.  Happy Stampin'

The Magic of Christmas!

Hi everyone! Welcome to another challenge at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps!

The theme this week is Magic.  I thought it was a great way to use the KK 'Believe In The Magic Of Christmas' sentiment from the lovely set of sentiments from September 2015, The Magic of Christmas  I love this set, there are eight wonderful sentiments, which can be used as the focal point on your card or as the inside sentiment.  I love sentiments and tend to use them a lot on the front of my cards, it's especially handy if you are in a hurry and don't have time to colour up an image.

I used the patterned papers from a gorgeous pad called A Christmas Story from First Edition papers.  They are so vintage and take me back to a simpler time.  I used the gorgeous holly die cut  on the left.  The card stock is long retired True Thyme, which works perfectly with the papers.  I used it for the card base too and for one of the layers behind the sentiment.  The red I used is also retired Ruby Red, which I love.  So many of the retired S.U. card stocks are my favourites.  I added a Prima poinsettia for an extra little pop.

Well, we always enjoy your creations so be sure to submit them so you can have a chance to WIN a $20 gift card to the Shop!! Show us your stuff!! In keeping in line with the rest of our challenges (Wonderful Wednesday and our NEW Krafty Scrappy Challenge), we will be drawing one winner per month from all Saturday Challenge entries to win a $20 gift card!! You can enter as many times per month as you'd like!!

Wonderful Wednesday with Owls!!

Good morning, stampers!  Well, it's Wonderful Wednesday time again.  Today I have a little card I made using the Kraftin' Kimmie stamp set You're A Hoot.  This lovely set has four different adorable owls, three sentiments and several other stamps, one of them being the branch my owls are sitting on.  I have used these two owls to make anniversary cards, Hallowe'en cards and all sorts.  They are so versatile.

The card base and image background use S.U. Marigold Morning.  The other colours of cardstock I used are Kiwi Kiss and retired Ruby Red. I used some GG ribbon, metallic dots and I even used eyelets.

Don't forget to show us YOUR WW creations.

Fall Colours Challenge!

Hi everyone! Welcome to another challenge at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps!

So the challenge this week is Fall Colours.  I love making Fall cards, so I really wanted to do this one.  I used one of the stamps from Harvest Blessing, which was released in August 2016.  I wanted to try colouring on kraft paper, I don't know if I ever have done so before.  I kind of like it.  The card base is also kraft paper and I matted with Kiwi Kiss and Pumpkin Pie from S.U.  The patterned papers I used are called Fall Friends from Doodlebug.  The sentiment Happy Autumn is also from the same set.  Perfect for a simple fall card.

We always enjoy your creations so be sure to submit them so you can have a chance to WIN a $20 gift card to the Shop!! Show us your stuff!!

Wonderful Wednesday! Sept. 13, 2017

Hi everyone and Happy Wonderful Wednesday!!

As always, Wednesday is Anything Goes.  My favourite because I can make whatever I wish.  My card today uses Snail Mail, which was released in April 2016.  I just love this little guy and have used him several times.  So perfect for mailing.  The set comes with a Lexi holding a card ready to mail, an adorable kitty, a cute little dog with a letter in it's mouth, a snail and a mailbox, all of which can be used in combination or separately.  It also has 5 sentiments, one of which I have used.

My cardstocks are Kiwi Kiss and Daffodil Delight.  I used Spellbinders Dies, a border punch and some metallic dots.  Unfortunately, I have forgotten what patterned papers I used.

Have fun making your own Wonderful Wednesday Anything Goes creation for a chance to win some lovely new stamps.

Happy crafting,
Nana Diana

Wonderful Wednesday Rainbow Colours!

Hi everyone and Happy Wonderful Wednesday!!  This card should have been made for this week's Challenge at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps.  The theme is Rainbows.  I went to the effort of looking for some rainbow patterned papers to use for the card, then I ran out of time and didn't get it done.  Therefore, I made it anyway and since it's always Anything Goes for the Wednesday Challenge, I could do whatever I liked.  The stamp I used was released in August '17 and it's from the Happy Fall Y'All set.  The sentiment is actually a retired one from Kraftin' Kimmie, I really wanted to use it as I am going to send the card to my wee granddaughter for her birthday.  The patterned papers I used are from Lawn Fawn and are aptly named Rainbow Plaid.  The card stocks are Orchid Opulence and Cool Caribbean, sadly both are retired Stampin' Up colours.  I added some Prima Flowers and some Light Orchid Grosgrain ribbon and some litte purple gems.  I also used the September sketch.

We want EVERYONE to be able to play along so your submission can use ANY stamp and can be any theme, any style, any design and it can be a card, a scrapbook page, an altered item....you name it!! It must be a NEW creation and you can enter on this post until September 12th at midnight! At the end of the month one random winner will be chosen from all the submissions for the whole month and will receive a $20 Gift Card to the shop!!! What do you think.....wanna WIN??

It's Another Wonderful Wednesday!!

It's Wonderful Wednesday time!! We hope you can play along!! As always....it's ANYTHING GOES!! Break out your Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps and get krafty!!

For my little creation I used one of the cute Autumn Wishes stamps, Lulu eating her candy floss, so I'm going to say it was at the Fall Fair.  I used the July sketch for inspiration, I love to have a sketch to use.  I coloured Lulu up with my trusty Copics and mounted everything onto some lovely Bermuda Bay card stock.  I punched out a cute border using the same CS and I used some pink for matting on the flowery layer and to frame the image layer.  I also stamped one of the five seniments onto pink.  I used Summer Lovin', but there are some great others too.  I added some lovely metallic Dew Drops in the corners to add a little pizzazz and there you go.

We want EVERYONE to be able to play along so your submission can use ANY stamp and can be any theme, any style, any design and it can be a card, a scrapbook page, an altered item....you name it!!

HAPPY FALL, Y'ALL!

TROLL TROUBLE!

And lastly is a wonderful set featuring our feathered friends

called YOU'RE A HOOT!

This is the stamp set I used.  Those little owls are so cute and they make it so easy to whip up a simple card.  I just coloured two of them and pop dotted them onto a really cool page of patterned paper from the Jillibean pad, Owloween Stew.  The rest of the papers are from the same pad and I love the sheet with the owl story, which I punched out with a die and added down the left side.  I also used one of the sentiments, You're A Hoot and I put a pair of googly eyes on the 'oo'.  Super fun to make.  There are 4 awesome owls, a pile of books in case you want to sit one of the little guys on them.  There are 4 great sentiments, a lovely branch to sit the owls on and a few other stamps, which make this set so versatile.

ALL the new sets are available now individually BUT if you HAVE to have it ALL, we also have our August Gimme Kimmies Kit which includes all THREE of the new sets together and at a discount! But only for a limited time and while supplies last!

August 4th. Krafin' Kimmie Challenge. Pearls or Metal Dots!

Happy weekend everyone!  As you can see, this week's challenge is to use pearls or enamel dots on our creations.  I love this kind of a challenge as it gives me a great excuse to use some of those yummy goodies I have in my stash.  My card uses one of the cute little stamps from Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps set 'Bugs and Kisses'.  There are several different little bugs in this set, along with a lovely jar stamp that you can put them in.  There are also leaves and several sentiments which are perfect for this set.  The set is perfect for me as I'm really on a kick of making simple cards these days.  So much fun!

My card base is Certainly Celery from Stampin' Up and the borders and the flower and frame are Pixie Pink.  I know I have said it before, but I don't know what I'll do when I run out of my retired card stock.  I used some lovely green half pearls in the corners and also in the centre of my little flower.  The patterned papers I used are called Spring Things from Doodlebug.

Now let's see your creations for a chance to win some Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps.

Welcome to Day FOUR of the JULY Release Krafty Peeks

at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps!

Can you believe the amazing krafty-ness that just keeps on comin'?

Next up we have a hilariously fun new stamp set by artist Emilie Goulet!

It's called MONKEY BUSINESS!!

Don't you just love Emilie's animals?? They just have so much character and these guys are no different! The set has two crazy monkeys and FOUR fabulous sentiments!

I used this image to make a birthday card for my little brother who just turned 64.  It's perfect for him because he is a nutcase, well our whole family is crazy.  I stamped my image on Copic Xpress It and coloured it with my Copic Markers.  I used some very old sock monkey papers that I thought worked well with the stamp.  I used some retired Poppy Parade S.U. cardstock and some Gable Green S.U., which is also retired.  I added some green GG ribbon, some enamel dots and a red doillie.  The sentiment is one of four great ones that go with the monkeys and the other monkey is just as cute as this one.  I love fun stamps.

Wonderful Wednesday, June 28th.

Happy Wednesday to all you crafters out there.  I'm afraid my card for today is very simple due to time constraints.  However, I hope my sweet little granddaughter will like it.  I used stamps from the May release set Bugs and Kisses, there are lots in the set including a mason jar to put all your bugs in.  The sentiment is also from the set.

The base is Pear Pizzazz from S. U. as is the backing for the sentiment.  The other card stock I used is retired S.U. Pixie Pink.  I used Spring Things papers from Doodlebug, see the cute little bees on it?  I also added some matching Doodlebug Sprinkles to add a little detail and shine.

Be sure to send in your own Wonderful Wednesday creation for a chance to win some Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps.

Happy Stampin'

Wonderful Wednesday!!

Hi folks, it's Wonderful Wednesday once again.  I have just finished making this little card for a lovely couple of friends who have just moved into a new house.  I hope they like it.  I've been dying to use this adorable stamp ever since it was released in March of 2016.  It's called Happy New Home.

I used some lovely retired Pretty In Pink card stock for the base and matted some Pear Pizzazz onto it.  My patterned paper is Botanical Tea from Graphic 45 and it's gorgeous.  I used some dies to make the strips down the left side and I added a mushroom charm on some linen thread.  I added the sentiment Happy New Home, punched it out in Pretty in Pink, then used a slightly larger circle punch for a border in Pear Pizzazz.  That's it.

Be sure to make your own Wonderful Wednesday creation for a chance to win some awesome new stamps.

Wonderful Wednesday May 3rd.

Happy Wednesday to all you crafters out there.  I would not be surprised if you have forgotten who I am, in case you have forgotten, I am Kraftin' Kimmie's Mom, Diana.  I have not been around much for a while.  Much as I love to make cards and I adore my daughter's wonderful images, life tends to get in the way of the things I really want to do.  So much for the golden age of retirement.

Anyway, I digress!  As always, the Wonderful Wednesday theme is Anything Goes, which suits me really well.  I have used the adorable Lexi mailing a letter from the Snail Mail set, which was released in April 2016.  Isn't she just so cute?  The set also contains Lucas dressed as a little mailman, a kitty, a puppy, a snail and 6 lovely sentiments.  I used the 'Sending You Love' one as this card was for my amazing granddaughter.

The patterned paper is from the pad 'Spring Things', by Doodlebug.  The card base is Gumball Green from S.U. and the retired Pixie Pink, also from S.U.  The little envelope is made using Baja Breeze and I used some Prima Flowers from my stash.

We want EVERYONE to be able to play along so your submission can use ANY stamp and can be any theme, any style, any design and it can be a card, a scrapbook page, an altered item....you name it!! It must be a NEW creation and you can enter on this post until May 9th at midnight!

Wonderful Wednesday at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps, Jan. 18th!

Well, once again I have been MIA for a while.  Actually, that's not right, I have been missing, but there has not been much action.

I was determined that I would join in this week's Wonderful Wednesday challenge.  For my little card, I have used the very cute little bear from the Buddy Bear set, which was released last weekend by Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps.  As always, I coloured the image with my Copics, having chosen the colours from my Nana's Kids paper pad, from Premium Stacks.  My card stock choices were Perfect Plum and Kiwi Kiss from Stampin' Up, both long retired.  I really don't know what I will do when I run out of all the awesome retired shades that I love.  I used the sentiment 'You're Beary Special' from the set, which also comes with 'Hiya Buddy', 'Just Chill' and 'Time To Relax'.  The other bear image is just adorable too and I can't wait to use it.  I added some matching green ribbon, a cute teddy button from my stash and three little hearts on the image layer.  I can't wait to send this to my grandkids.  I think they will like it.

Don't forget that as always W. Wednesday is Anything Goes, so you can make any theme your little heart desires and you will be entered to win some awesome new stamps.

Happy Stamping,
Nana Diana
