It's finally here! Kraftin' Kimmie's August Release!!

Hi everyone,

It's time once again for a fabulous Kraftin' Kimmie Release.

As you’ve seen over the last few days in our Krafty Peeks, we have lots of SPOOKTACULAR new stamps for you to play with for HALLOWEEN! There are three new ADORABLE LITTLE WITCHIES from Cheryl Alger, five new HALLOWEEN FUN stamps from Emilie Goulet and six awesome new BATTY PRINCESS AND FRIENDS stamps from Annie Rodrigue!!

You will get to see most of the new images today as you sit back and enjoy our KREEPY Krafty Hop! If you want to start from the beginning, just head over to the Kraftin’ Kimmie Challenge Blog! 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 frightening 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've used Kreepy Kitty for my card, I love the disgusted look on his face. I don't think he looks creepy at all, just totally ticked off! I had fun colouring the image, then I cut it out and adhered it to a circle of 'crowy' (or are they ravens?) grey and black paper. I made a frame from Elegant Eggplant, cut out with my Pinking Nesties, then set it on some more Hallowe'en paper. I matted that onto some Kiwi Kiss cardstock, then onto a black card base. I used some Kiwi Kiss Ribbon, cut out the sentiment 'Meet Me Under The Moon', from Kraftin' Kimmie's Hallowe'en Sentiments and attached it in pieces on the right side. I added a few purple gems and that's it. The sentiment that comes with Kreepy Kitty is ' Have a Purr-fect Hallowe'en, but I thought that the moon one fit nicely too.

Now onto the hop. Don't forget to start at the Kraftin' Kimmie Challenge Blog so you don't miss anyone. If you have come here from the blog of our totally fabulous Melanie, then you are where you are supposed to be. From here you will go to the blog of our wonderful guest Krafty Girl Hannah.

Happy Hopping,

Miles and Maisie with Stars, Challenge #42

Well, it's Saturday and here I am as promised with another card. It's time for Kraftin' Kimmie's Challenge #42 and this week I am the hostess. What I would like you to do this week is use stars on your cards. It can be in your papers, punched stars, in your image or in your ribbon, however you want to do it.

I've used Hallowe'en Miles and Maisie all dressed up as a vampire and the bride of Frankenstein.

I coloured in Miles and Maisie, then cut them out with my Nesties. Then while the image was still in the die, I sponged around them with some pale yellow chalk ink. I used a piece of Hallowe'en DP (I don't know what it is as this is another piece I scrounged from my DD) and matted it onto Barely Banana, then Black. I tied a piece of ribbon on the rectangle piece, stuck it down on the left of the background, then I pop dotted the image layer towards the right side. I punched out some different sized stars and arranged them in the bottom corner and stamped Happy Hallowe'en at the top on Barely Banana, matted onto black. I added a couple of black gems on the ends and a couple more on the stars. So that's it, I have stars in my DP and stars in the corner. Now be sure and check out all the other girls cards, you will find them at Kraftin' Kimmie's Challenge Blog. Then let's see your creations, I can't wait to see what you all come up with.

Have a wonderful weekend,

Blessings,

Diana

Woo Hoo!! August Release and Krafty Hop!

Well, Hello and I hope you are all having a restful weekend! I'm so happy that it's now time for Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps August Release. We Krafty Girls have been having a great time playing with all these Hallowe'en Images. They are such fun to colour and some of the girls have put two images together on a card, which is fabulous and some have made a scene with the Haunted House and one or two of the other images. I tell you, some of these girls are so talented, it's ridiculous!!

For this card, I used Tommy Treats and I just adore him with his little mask on and his huge bag of treats and he's still looking for more. Tommy is a small image, so I was able to cut him out using one of my deckle Nesties. I coloured him with my Copics as always, then I sponged around him with a mauve chalk ink to match the purples in the papers. I pop dotted him onto a piece of black cardstock, which I had put through one of my embossing folders. Then I tied a piece of green ribbon around the bottom before gluing it onto the pretty papers. I added a few more bits and pieces and matted it onto Pumpkin Pie, then on a black card base.

Now for the awesome Blog Hop we want you to join in tomorrow.

Release Weekend and Challenge #41

Well, here we are, it's Saturday again and time for another Kraftin' Kimmie Challenge! It's also the August Release Weekend, so I get to give you another Sneak Peek at one of the fabulous Hallowe'en images that will be up on the Kraftin' Kimmie Website tomorrow. It's so exciting!! Now, to be truthful, I am not a big Hallowe'en fan, but I have had so much fun playing with these images, they are so great to colour and I love playing with the Hallowe'en colours of orange, black, green and purple. This week's Challenge is a recipe. Our Krafty Krista would like you to use Scallops, Buttons and Bling on your cards.

This adorable image is Batty Princess, I think she is so cute and I love the accessory sentiment stamp, 'I'm Batty for You'. As always, I coloured her in with my Copics, then sponged around the edges with some chalk ink. I layered her on some Perfect Plum, then onto some Old Olive.

I used a scalloped border punch along the bottom of the Pumpkin Pie layer, on which I had put some Hallowe'en paper. I'm afraid I can't tell you what they are as I rifled them from my DD Kraftin' Kimmie's stash while I was there last week. I put some orange Prima flowers in the top right corner and used buttons for the centres. I used lots of Stardust Stickles on her wings and the bottom of her dress, so I have fulfilled all requirements.

Now be sure to check out the other Krafty Girls blogs and see what images they have used. Then set about making your own creations. One lucky lady will win the cute image 'Witchypoo', which is what Krista used on her gorgeous card. That is such a cute image, certainly not a scary witch.

Don't forget to come back tomorrow for the Krafty Blog Hop and Release. We have some amazing guest designers on our Hop, so you won't be disappointed.

Blessings,

Diana
