Challenge 77! Let's Get Krafty!! Also National Scrapbooking Day Sale! Up to 75% off!!

Hi all you Happy Stampers out there. First of all I must tell you that Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps is celebrating National Scrapbooking Day and Mother's Day by having a big ol' SALE!!! There are over 100 stamps from all of our lines on sale 25-75% off!! Yes, you read that right! This sale will run from Friday May 6th - Tuesday May 10th! And some of these images will be retiring shortly, so get them before they are GONE!!! (Cannot be combined with other coupons/discounts!)

Now to the other business of the day. This week our challenge is to use Kraft cardstock on our cards. Our hostess this week is the Tantalizing and Talented Tracy. Tracy lives in Chatham so is only a few miles away from me. I had the pleasure of meeting 'Ribbons, Buttons and Pearls' at the launch celebration for Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps, but I haven't seen her since. We have had a few krafty days and get togethers since, but either I was not there or Tracy wasn't there. One of these days we will connect once more. Anyway, I love Tracy's work and I would love to watch how she colours with her Prisma pencils as I am hopeless with them. I can barely function with Copics!!

Okay, so I used Astronaut Andy for my card. Andy is one of the April Release of Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps and he is perfect for a boy card. I coloured him with my Copics, then cut him out with my rectangle Nesties, then framed that layer with some Kraft cardstock, then used my Scalloped Nesties behind that. I used some K and Company Summer Travel DP, matted onto some Bermuda Bay C.S. and then onto my card base of Kraft cardstock. I added some Kraft Taffeta ribbon and I used the sentiment 'Flyin' High' from Kimmie's Steampunk Sentiments and attached it with a copper brad.

So now you get to make a Krafty creation and be sure to link it up to Kraftin' Kimmie's Challenge Blog for a chance to win some new rubber!

Now be sure to stop back next Wednesday as we will be starting the Krafty Peeks for May. Just wait till you see what we have for you.

Have a wonderful weekend,

Blessings,

Diana

Happy Easter and Challenge 75. Let's see your Frills!!

Hi all you stampers out there, I do wish you a happy and Blessed Easter! I have been MIA for a few weeks as my husband and I and our darling granddaughter Emileigh have been in Florida. I wish I could say it's good to be back, but we came home to such grotty weather after all the sun and heat there, that I almost wish I was still there.

Okay, so this week's hostess for the Kraftin' Kimmie Challenge is the very Krafty Krista She would like us to use lace or frills on our cards. She has used 'Diana' so that's the stamp you will win if your creation should be randomly chosen.

For my card I used the gorgeous 'Isabelle', I think all the fairies are adorable, I can't wait to get back down to business and use them all. I coloured her with my Copics of course, I used some Stardust and Cotton Candy Stickles on her wings and I brushed some Smooch Pearlized Topcoat on her hair. For my patterned papers, I used the new K and Company Sweet Nectar. I used some Olive Dew Drops on the image layer and some white frilly ribbon down the left side. The cardstocks I used are Kiwi Kiss, Bashful Blue and Real Red. The sentiment I used is from Kraftin' Kimmie's Fairy Sentiments.

Be sure and link your creations up to Kraftin' Kimmie's Challenge Blog for a chance to win Diana and so we can all check them out.

That's it for me, I pray you will have a wonderful time this weekend with family and friends.

Blessings,

Diana

Challenge 69! Do whatever you please!!

Hi all you peeps out there, hope your day is shaping up to be a good one. Today is Saturday, so it's time for yet another Kraftin' Kimmie Challenge! We girls get to use whichever of the new images we like as we've already had a day of showing the work of each artist.

This week our hostess is our fearless leader herself, Kraftin' Kimmie and she's taking it easy on us. We get to use whatever we want to on our cards. Can't be easier than that, right?

I coloured up Becky Broadsword for the Challenge, isn't she a cutie? Can't say I ever wanted to play pirates when I was little, but I was not the tomboy type! I coloured and cut out my image using the square Nesties, then I sponged around the edges with some chalk ink. I then used my Scalloped Square Nesties to make a frame for the square. I used Early Espresso cardstock for this. I can't tell you what the patterned paper is as I've had it so long. I placed a strip of Baja Breeze down the middle after embossing it with Swiss Dots folder. I used the sentiment 'Shiver Me Timbers' from Kimmie's Pirate Sentiments on one of my Double Ended Tags. I attached it with some bronze brads and attached an anchor charm. I matted the patterned paper onto some more E. Espresso and the card base is a lovely shade of Bazzill Bling, but I don't know what it's called. (Don't know much, do I?) I attached it with some bronze brads and attached an anchor charm. I added some larger brads in two of the corners and that's it.

Don't forget to go and check out the rest of the team's cards, the easiest way is to go to Kraftin' Kimmie's Challenge Blog first. And be sure to come back tomorrow for the March Blog Hop and Release!! We have some awesome Krafty Guests along with our Krafty Team.

See you tomorrow,

Diana

Challenge 68. Use twine or floss!!

Well, hello to all you inky people out there. It's Saturday once again and time for Kraftin' Kimmie's Challenge 68!!

This week, our very talented hostess is Jeanne and she would like us to use twine or floss or something similar on our cards. Since Jeanne is using Stella Strawberry on her lovely card, that is the stamp that some lucky lady will win.

For my card, I used Curtis. If you can believe it, I had not yet inked him up and he is so cute. Most of the rest of the design team have made lovely cards with him, but I just had not got to him yet. He is so perfect for a masculine card, I think and I never have enough 'guy' cards, so this is one more for my very small collection. I coloured Curtis with my Copics and cut him out using my Deckle Rectangle Nesties. I then mounted the image layer onto some Basic Black cardstock, which I had dry embossed using a folder with bubbly looking circles on it. I can't remember the name of it and I threw away the package long ago!! Unfortunately you can't see it in the picture anyway!! I used some Olivia papers from Basic Grey. I used a panel of the paper across the front, matted it onto some black, then tied some of the required twine across it. I matted it all onto some more black and set it on a card base of Kiwi Kiss. I used some dew drop sort of thingies down the right side and added the sentiment 'Best Fishes'

So now it's your turn to make a card or creation using twine or something similar on your card and see if you can win Stella Strawberry! Don't forget to link your card up to Kraftin' Kimmie's Challenge Blog.

I do hope you have a wonderful weekend.

Blessings,

Diana

Welcome Willard, a Sneaky Peak at the upcoming Kraftin' Kimmie Release!!

Well, good morning and I hope you are having a nice relaxing day. This is my first post for the Kraftin' Kimmie New Release, which goes live on Tuesday. Right now I'm doggysitting for Kimmie and family while they are gone to Scrapfest in Oshawa and tomorrow they are going to a Scrapping day in Mildmay. We all went to Mildmay last year and it was a great day.

Now to my card. This is one of the new winter images and his name is Willard, isn't he cute?

I used Poppy Red, a new colour which I love, Night of Navy for the card base and the sentiment, and some cute winter paper from my stash. The sentiment is actually from the Oliver image, which comes with 'Just Chillin''! Isn't Willard just precious? That confused look on his face.....like, I've got this yummy hot chocolate, but how the heck am I supposed to drink it?? Heehee!

There are lots more awesome samples featuring the new images today! Just hop on over to the challenge blog and see who's sharing! And then all these fabulous images will be available at the KKStamps Shop on Tuesday!

Have a wonderful day!

Diana

Victoria's 1st. Birthday!

Well, our darling granddaughter is one year old today. I can't believe that much time has gone by. She is such a beautiful little girl and gives us all so much joy. Mind you, I'm not sure that big brother Matthew feels that way all of the time, now that she is big enough to get into his stuff. But really, he adores her!

I have made a card for her birthday using a High Hopes stamp, which is just adorable. I coloured the image with my copics as usual (one of these days I'm going to learn to watercolour properly!!) . I used some K and Company Itsy Bitsy papers and some Pretty in Pink cardstock for the card base and some mauve papers. I made a heart border with my M.S. heart border punch. I also put a 1 on the upper right.

Well, that's it for me today, I hope to be back on Saturday with the latest Kraftin' Kimmie Challenge.

Have a great day everyone,

Blessings,

Diana

Kraftin' Kimmie's Goldilocks!

Well, hello and I hope your Tuesday is going well. I finally got around to using Kraftin' Kimmie's adorable Goldilocks stamp. It has been sitting there waiting for me to try it out. It was just as much fun colouring it as I thought it would be. I love her three little teddies, so cute.

I coloured her with my Copics as usual, then cut her out using one of my Nesties Labels. I then sponged around her while still in the die (Goldilocks, not me!), using Wheat and Aspen Mist chalk inks. I used some Cosmo Cricket Mini Deck DP. I used Pink Passion for the card base, then I matted a square of the papers onto some Barely Banana, which I then matted onto the base. I made a couple of strips of another of the papers, matted them onto Baja Breeze and placed them on the pink papers, behind the main image. I added a few flowers and the sentiment, which comes with the Goldilocks stamp, along with 'You're Just Right' and a cute little teddy bear image.

Well, that's it for today, I wonder if I can get another card done and posted before Saturday's Kraftin' Kimmie Challenge #42?!!

Happy Stamping everyone,

Blessings to you all,

Diana

A Peek at Pumpkin Miles!

Good morning everyone! You have probably already seen some sneak peeks at the upcoming Kraftin' Kimmie August Release cards. This is my first effort and I chose to use Pumpkin Miles, created by Kimmie's new artist, Steven Leary. I still just love his work, Miles is so cute. I coloured him as usual with my Copics and sponged around him with some chalk ink. I cut out the little cat from one of the Moonlight Whispers images and set him there for Miles to see. I cut him out using some Nesties, then cut out a frame with my Scalloped Nesties. I used some Vintage Violet for that. I used some older Stampin' Up Hallowe'en papers to pop dot the layer onto, bordering the main piece with Pumpkin Pie cardstock and the strip with some Certainly Celery. I added the sentiment, Best Witches, also three Green brads and some Old Olive ribbon.

That's my card for today, tomorrow I'll be back with another one, using a different image from the upcoming release. Meanwhile, be sure to check out all the fabulous cards the other Krafty Girls have made for your perusal!!

Blessings,

Diana

Kraftin' Kimmie Boy Card Challenge!

Well, hi and Happy Saturday to everyone!! This week, our Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps hostess with the mostest is the Vivacious Vicki. She wants us to make a birthday card for a boy. I'm always happy to have an excuse to make a masculine card as I never seem to have enough of those.

For my card, I used Surfing Miles as I think he's perfect for a boy card or even for a teenage boy. I coloured Miles with my Copics and cut him out using one of my Labels Nesties. I then sponged around the frame with Cantaloupe ink. I used some gorgeous Mango Twist DP in two different patterns. I matted them onto some Tempting Turquoise and some Apricot Appeal, which I also used for the card base. I added a cute little seahorse using Tempting Turquoise, then I tied a shell charm on some linen thread and attached it from top to bottom. I finished by stamping 'Sandy Wishes' from Kraftin' Kimmies Mermaid Sentiments.

So now you can go and make a Boy's Birthday card and show it on Kraftin' Kimmies Challenge Blog. Can't wait to see what you make. Make sure you check out Kimmie's Challenge Blog to see all the creations of the other Krafty Girls.

See you later,
Diana

50th. Wedding Anniversary Card

Well, hello good stampers, I do hope that you are having a good weekend. If you don't manage to get some creating in this weekend, I hope it's because you are doing something fun!

Today I'm posting a card that I made a couple of days ago for some good friends who are celebrating their 50th. Wedding Anniversary this weekend. I wanted to do something special for them and I hope they will like it. I used Stampendous' Seth and Sarabeth as my image, I think it's a great stamp to use for Anniversaries. I coloured with my Copics, as always, then sponged around them with my Versa Magic 'Aloe Vera' chalk ink, it was the perfect shade for my papers, which are ' Origins' by Basic Grey. I love these papers and I'm heartbroken as I've now used up all of the dark brown one which I used for the main background!! I guess I have to get some more!! I used my circle and Pinking Nesties to frame the image, then pop dotted it onto the different pieces of the papers, bordering one with YoYo Yellow, which I also used for the Pinking piece and also to mat the main papers. I used Wild Wasabi for the other piece of paper and also for the card base. I used the same W. Wasabi for the sentiment, which is from Kraftin' Kimmies Everyday Sentiments . I cut out the 50 from my Cuttlebug Dies, (I love those things) and finished off with some cute Prima flowers and some Maize ribbon, which matches the YoYo yellow perfectly. Now I have to find the perfect verse to go inside.

Well, that's it for me, back to work. I'd much rather be stamping!!

Blessings to you all,

Diana

Hydrangea Sympathy

Good morning everyone, I do hope you are having a good day. Right now, my dear daughter, Kraftin' Kimmie should have landed in Chicago along with our design teams' Andrea and they will be meeting up with Jeanne Streiff, another Krafty Girl from Texas. They are going to CHA. It will be the first time for Kimmie and Andrea to meet Jeanne in person, although they do a whole lot of chatting online. Kim was so excited, I hope they all have a great time, I'm sure they will.

Well, this morning, I am posting a card I made yesterday to send to my Uncle in England as my dear Aunt passed away last week. These are sure not my favourite cards to make, I'd much rather be playing with my Kraftin' Kimmie stamps. I have lost two aunts and an uncle in the last couple of months, so I hope the trend stops for quite a while.

For this card, I used the Hydrangea stamp from Stampin' Ups' Flower Garden. I coloured it with my Copics to match the Almost Amethyst cardstock I wanted to use. I cut the image out with one of my Labels Four Nestabilities, then cut one size larger in Almost Amethyst. I then cut out a border along each side of a piece of cardstock. (I planned to use some lovely twill ribbon Kimmie had given me, but I could not find it. It's in this room somewhere, grrrr!) I placed the border piece across the front, behind the image layer, added the sentiment and then some Prima Hydrangea flowers. I matted this all onto some more A. Amethyst, then onto the card base of Whisper White. The toughest part of all this was writing the inside.

Well, I hope you all have a great day and happy stamping.

Blessings,

Diana

Preview #3 and Kraftin' Kimmie Challenge #38. Bows!!

Well, Hello and Happy Saturday morning to all you wonderful stampers out there.

Today, I get to show you my effort with 'Bikini Maisie', one of the adorable stamps from this release, created by Kimmie's new artist, Steven Leary. All Kimmie's team love his drawings, they are simple, yet they have character too and are really funny.

This week's Challenge is to put bows on your card. It can be a ribbon bow, bows in your paper or on your image, whatever you like as long as you use bows. I used my Copics to colour Maisie, then sponged around her with some chalk inks. I cut her out with my rectangular Nesties, then made a frame with my Scalloped Nesties. I used Groovy Guava for the frame. I pop dotted it onto some very cute Imaginisce papers, which I bought especially for these guys and the mermaid stamps. I put a strip of the striped one down the left side, tied some Groovy Guava ribbon across the bottom and made a bow. I added a couple of matching fishy brads and that's it. A fairly simple card, but I think Maisie is looking pretty snappy all by herself.

So there you have it. Now go and make something to show us with bows (or a bow) on it and you will entered for a chance to win the lovely Snow White stamp as that's the one our hostess Krista is using and she is the hostess for this week. Check out her card, it's just fabulous and so are all the other girls' creations.

I will be back again tomorrow in the Blog Hop, so be sure to come back, it's July Release Day too, so be sure to visit Kraftin' Kimmies' Stamps Shop as everything will be up on the site ready for you to get your inky little mitts on!

See you tomorrow,

Blessings,

Diana

July Release Preview, Little Red Riding Hood!

Good morning stampers! Well, it's finally time for some Krafty Kimmie Peeks for the July Release. We will all be posting cards using the awesome new stamps between now and Sunday, when they are all released. We have some wonderful new creations from Annie Rodrigue and Steven Leary.

For my first card, I used Red Riding Hood. I punched her out using my Oval Scalloped Nesties, then coloured her with my Copics, what else?! I sponged around her with some chalk ink. I used some Bittersweet papers for the background, putting a strip of the brown hearts across the bottom. I used some Pink Pirouette to mat it onto and punched a border along the bottom with one of my M.S. Border Punches. I used the sentiment 'Ever Had One of Those Days' from Kraftin' Kimmie's Sassy Sentiments, but the stamp comes with 'Oops, I Forgot Your Birthday'.

I finished the card with a pearly swirl and that's it.

Be sure to check in with all the other Krafty Girls and see what awesome creations they have come up with. I'll be back with another preview card tomorrow.

Blessings,

Diana

All the Pinks!

Hello again, I hope you are having a great weekend. Here in S.W. Ontario we are having a welcome cool down after a 4 or 5 day heatwave. It has been just dreadful, so we are thankful to be rid of the high heat and humidity. I think for the last couple of days, the high was 34C and with the Humidex factored in, it was like 44C. That is just horrid.

Anyway, now to this weeks' Kraftin' Kimmie Challenge. Our hostess this week is the Amazing Andrea, who wants us to use lots of pink on our cards. I used the Tree Fairy for my card, colouring her with my Copics of course. I can't remember the name of the patterned papers I used as I made this card while I was staying with my DD, Kraftin' Kimmie and I used some from her stash. I cut out the Fairy using some Labels Nesties, then cut out a larger piece in Going Gray and set the image on that. I used a square piece of the pretty flowery paper behind it, matted it on some more Going Gray and then put a strip of the other side of the patterned paper along the lower half, with a Pink Pirouette border behind it. Then I put a piece of Kimmie's yummy pink satin ribbon across and tied it. I put a few flowers in the top corner, then stamped the sentiment from Kimmie's Fairy Sentiments on a strip of P. Pirouette.

That's it, now it's your turn. If you create a card using one of Kraftin' Kimmie's stamps, you will be in for the random draw to win Nerissa, which is the stamp Andrea is using on her card. Be sure to go over to the Kraftin' Kimmie Challenge Blog and see all the pink creations from all the Krafty Girls.

Have a wonderful weekend,

Diana

Presenting Princess Petunia and Sketch Challenge!

Good morning peeps,

Here we are once again with a Kraftin' Kimmie Challenge. This week our krafty hostess is the Divine Donna and she has given us a lovely sketch to follow. It's a great one and you will find the actual sketch over at Krafty Kimmie's Challenge Blog. I had fun with this one.

For my card, I used Princess Petunia. As usual, I coloured her with my Copics, then I cut her out using my Nesties and sponged around her while she was still in the frame. I used some Sandylion patterned papers and ran some yummy organdy ribbon across the card. I put a group of yellow flowers in the top right corners and punched out some leaves to go behind them, in Certainly Celery. The card base is Barely Banana and the border behind the main patterned paper is Baja Breeze. I added the sentiment on some Baja Breeze and there you have it.

Now you can go to Kimmie's Challenge Blog and see what all the other Krafty Girls have done for you to see. Then be sure to take some time to enter this challenge and as usual, the randomly chosen winner will receive Mae, which Donna has used on her card.

Hope you all have a great weekend,
Blessings,
Diana

Father's Day Surfing Miles

Hi there, I'm actually posting in the week again. I made a Father's Day card for my hubby and I decided to use Surfing Miles because he's so cute and I love playing with these guys. (It does say 'Happy Father's Day' on the inside). This time I decided to be really crazy and I coloured Miles mauve. I was getting a bit tired of browns and greys and besides, lots of the cartoon characters you see on TV are weird colours. Besides, then he matched the papers!! That's my excuse anyway.

Once again I used my 'A Day at the Beach' patterned papers, which I'm using as much as I can as summer will soon be over, then I'll have to put them away again. I used the sentiment 'Make a Splash' from the Mermaid Sentiments, which come with the Mermaid Kit, which is now on sale at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps for 20% off the regular price. A great deal, I might add. I punched out the sentiment layer using my Double Ended Tags Nesties, which worked perfectly. I attached it using matching purple brads. It's a simple card, but that's what's great about these Miles images. You can make an A2 size simple card with them, or you can gussy them up on a 6 x 6 and use more embellies etc.

Well, that's it for me for today, lots of non-crafty stuff to do around the house, yuck!!

Have a blessed day,

Diana

Sandcastle Miles in Blue, Yellow and Tan!

Hi everyone, it's Saturday again and time for yet another Kraftin' Kimmie Challenge. This week our hostess with the mostest is Jeanne and she wants us to use Summer Colours of blue, yellow and tan. I had a bit of a struggle with this to begin with, but by the time I had finished, I wished I had time to make some more cards with this colour combo, just to see what different styles and shades and layouts I could come up with. Oh, life does get in the way of our crafting sometimes, doesn't it? My husband and I are retired, but there just aren't enough hours in the day. Now if I just didn't have to clean house and cook etc., I could probably get a lot more done. Okay, now there I go, daydreaming again. Back to the matter at hand.

I used Sandcastle Miles for this card as I hadn't yet found time to ink him up, he was the only one left, poor little fella, out of the new Kraftin' Kimmie Release. To be honest, I can't even say I used him because of the sand in the picture and that it would work with the tan I needed to use. I'm not that clever!! I used some more of my 'A Day at the Beach' papers, which I am just loving. This lovely yellow paper has suns all over it, so it was perfect. I paired it with a piece of Martha Stewart Brights Pad as it has mostly yellow and blue dots on it. I coloured in Miles and then used my rectangular and scalloped Nesties to mat him onto. I then popped him up on the dotted paper, which I had matted onto some Creamy Caramel, which I had used my 'drippy goo' border punch on. I set that on the yellow sunny paper, matted it onto Baja Breeze, then onto a card base of Creamy Caramel. I tied some Caramel gingham ribbon across the bottom, attaching a shell charm to it. I finished it off with a Beachy Sentiment, 'Sandy Wishes'.

Now it's your turn to make a card using blue, yellow and tan. Be sure to stop over at Kraftin' Kimmie's Challenge Blog to see what the other girls have created. Their work is fabulous!! Don't forget that the randomly picked winner will win Tubing Miles as that's the stamp Jeanne has used on her card. If you upload your cards to a website like Splitcoast, be sure to put KKSC34 in your keywords so that we can find you there.

So have a great weekend and try to find some time to create. You know you wanna!!

Blessings,

Diana

Kraftin' Kimmie Peek, Day 4 and Challenge 33!!

Wow, there is so much going on right now with Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps that I have a hard time keeping it all straight. This is day 4 of the Krafty Peeks, so today I have used Arianna. This is one of my favourites as I love Sea Horses, they are so beautiful. I coloured her with my Copics as usual and used some Destination Paradise papers from Me and My Big Ideas. It's a simple layout, but I wanted to be able to see some of the picture on the blue layer. I added the lovely sea horse charm and used the sentiment 'Waving Hello', which is in the Mermaid Sentiments. There are lots of other great sentiments such as 'Eat My Bubbles' , 'Fish You Were Here' and 'Dropping You A Line'. I can't wait to use them all.

Now for this weeks' challenge. Our leader Kraftin' Kimmie is the hostess this week and the theme is --- Beachy Keen! Summer or Water Themed Creations. Well, she gave us Krafty Girls a break, didn't she as we have all these awesome stamps to work with. I'm sure though that you can create some summery or beachy creations and if you are the random winner, you will receive your choice of either Cordelia or Tubing Miles as Kimmie is using both. So then you will have your own water or beachy themed stamp.

So now go and check out all the other creations on the rest of the Krafty Girls' Blogs, that's if you haven't already. Also, be sure and come back tomorrow for our fabulous Krafty Hop. We will have some wonderful guests artists joining in the hop along with our own Krafty Girls. If you leave a comment on each and every stop, you will have more chances to win some awesome rubber from the New Release!!

Hope you are all having a wonderful weekend,

Blessings,

Diana

Day 3 of Kraftin' Kimmie's Krafty Peeks!

Okay, it's day 3 of the Kraftin' Kimmie Previews. Said I'd be back, didn't I? This cute little fella is Tubing Miles, another of the images from Kimmie's new artist, Steven Leary. Only 2 more days and all these awesome new stamps will be available at Kraftin' Kimmie's Stamp Shop.

I made this card A2 size, which is a nice change. These stamps are smaller than our usual ones, so they work well on this size card base. I coloured Miles with my Copics, then cut him out, which was so easy because of the simple lines. I pop dotted him onto some purple 'A Day at the Beach' papers by The Paper Studio, which I had cut out using one of my Blossom Nesties. I used some more of the same papers to set that layer on, I love this one because it has sea horses on. I put a strip of some more of the DP along the bottom, matting it on some Summer Sun cardstock. Then I added a charm, tied with some linen thread and layered everything on some retired Eggplant Envy, then the card base of Baja Breeze.

Make sure you come back tomorrow to see what else I have for you and also remember to go and check out the awesome creations of the other Krafty Girls. It's also Challenge day, so come and see what challenge our fearless leader Kimmie has come up with.

See you tomorrow,

Diana
