My Wonderful Wednesday card is one that I recently made for a wedding.  The sentiment is the focal point on the card and I used 'A True Love Story Never Ends'.  It is from the set Love Story Sentiments, which was released in November of 2015.  I also used the retired 'congratulations' sentiment from a retired rubber Kraftin' Kimmie stamp set.  The patterned paper is Jodie Lee Butterfly from Prima Pads and the card stocks are Groovy Guave and Certainly Celery.  The stitched ribbon is also Groovy Guava.  The flowers are from Prima.

In addition to the great Krafty Challenges & Wonderful Wednesday, each month we will post a Sketch. The sketch will last all month long and if you use it in ANY of our Challenges or WW's during that month you will get an additional chance to win a store gift card!

Krafty Peeks Day FOUR! It's Monkey Business!!

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.

I hope you can join us for all the fun and excitement and prizes tomorrow night beginning at 7pm EST!! You can come hang out with the me and Krafty Team at our 

LIVE ONLINE RELEASE PARTY!

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.

Happy Stampin'

Now we have all the important stuff out of the way, I will tell you a little bit about my card.  I used the super cute Just Chicken In from artist Cheryl Grant.  I used the May sketch for my inspiration and I had fun with it.  I used the retired Bashful Blue from Stampin' Up, also the retired Poppy Parade and the current Garden Green card stocks.  The patterned paper I used was the perfect Heartland Farm by American Crafts.  There are a few sentiments, but I chose Just Chicken In and punched it out with my little leaf punch and used it as a speech bubble.  I added some green half pearls on the hearts and on the image layer.

Hope you have fun hoppin' around,

Have a great week,

Nana Diana

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! 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?? Let's see your krafty stuff!!

In addition to the great Krafty Challenges & Wonderful Wednesday, each month we will post a Sketch. The sketch will last all month long and if you use it in ANY of our Challenges or WW's during that month you will get an additional chance to win a store gift card! You do NOT have to use the sketch, it's just a little extra boost for your mojo if ya need it!
