Kraftin' Kimmie Love/Friendship Challenge!

Hidee Ho stampers,

I can't believe I have not posted a card in here with my Kraftin' Kimmie stamps since October!  Ridiculous!

Well, I couldn't resist this challenge as the easiest cards for me to make are Friendship and Love ones.  For this one, I used the super cute Happy Hedge-hugs, which are being released today.  The stamps are all so cute and the sentiments are just as adorable, such as the one I used, which is 'Sending Hedge-hugs to you'.

For the pink matting, I sponged the new Daisy  (Petite Posies) stencil with the also new Crisp Crimson Kraftin' Kimmie Ink.   I coloured the main image with Copics, framed it in a rectangle die, then onto a Deckle edge frame.   I matted the pink layer onto some black CS, then onto a base of Cool Caribbean.  I added some sparkly ric rac and some matching Prima Flowers.  I know just who I'm sending this to.

Hope you have fun creating something using Love or Friendship as your inspiration.

Happy Stampin',
Nana Diana

Black and White Challenge!

Hello and welcome to another fun
Saturday Challenge with Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps!
Are you ready for some krazy krafty fun?
We can't wait for you to play along and share your amazing krafty kreations! We are here to inspire your creativity!

Good morning all you lovely crafters.  It's a very cool day here in South Ontario, fall is definitely here.

As you see by the title, our challenge this week is Black and White.  This really was a bit of a challenge for me, but hopefully this is okay.  I used the adorable little fox from the 'Good In The Woods'set, which was released last April.  Of course the card base and the mattings are all done in
Basic Black.  I used Kraftin' Kimmie's Pawprints Stencil.  I think they could be fox pawprints just as well as dogs'.  I used Spellbinders square and rectangular dies and matching scallops ones.  I used the sentiment from the set 'May the Forest Be With You', which I think is so cute.  I added a few black and white flowers and there we are.

Don't forget to send in your take on a Black and White card, we love to see them and you may win some KK clear stamps for your efforts.  Also be sure to check out the creations from the rest of the team, there are some real beauties from these talented people.

Happy Stampin'.

Kraftin' Kimmie Challenge! Shapes.

Well, good Saturday morning, I hope you are enjoying your weekend.  It certainly has a feeling of fall in the air where we live.

As the title says, the Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps challenge for this coming week is Shapes.  There are so many different things you can do with this.  You can do a different shaped base for your card, you can use all sorts of different shapes on the actual card, the mind boggles.  Mine is not terribly creative as I made it before this challenge came up and it seemed to fit.  If I had more time, I think I would have been more inventive.  I can't wait to see what your ideas are for the Shapes Challenge.

I love to create using the sentiment stamps, so I used this one from the Pumpkin Kisses stamp set.  I stamped the sentiment in brown as I used cream cardstock and I like that combination.  The image layer uses a lovely narrow oval die that I've had for years and the frame around it is the matching scallop die and I used red for that  I pop dotted that layer onto a square of patterned paper and matted it onto orange C.S.  I added a strip on a different patterned but matching paper, matting it also onto orange.  It is all on a green card base with yet another matching paper, matted onto some of the red cardstock.  I added some fall coloured metallic dots and some linen thread.  Hope you like it.

Now be sure to enter your own creations  using Shapes, you have until next Friday.  You will be entered to win some Kraftin' Kimmie goodness, good luck.

Happy Stamping,
Nana Diana

Kraftin' Kimmie Challenge. Tags!!

Good morning to all you crafters out there.  As the title says, the challenge for this week over at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps is to use a tag, any way you want.  You can simply make a tag as I have done, or you can use a tag on another creation such as a card, or perhaps  in your scrapbooking.  I had not made a tag in a long time and I forgot how much fun it was.  Now I want to make more.

I used kraft card stock for mine, then I used the Kraftin' Kimmie Beautiful Burlap stencil all over the tag, Next, I used some Bo Bunny Pumpkin Glitter Paste unevenly on the KK Creepy Cobwebs and added a cute little brown spider on it.  I coloured up  the cute little boy troll from KK's Troll Trouble, sat him on the bottom, then I added some shiny brown ribbon to the top.

Hope you have fun making something using a tag.  You will have a chance to win some awesome Kraftin' Kimmie loot.

Happy crafting,
Nana Diana

August Release!! Pumpkin Kisses!

Good morning everyone!  It's that time again, the new Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps release is here.  So many wonderful stamps to choose from.

I used the Happy Thanksgiving stamp from the set Pumpkin Kisses.  Perfect for making a simple or a more complex card for your friends and family for the Thanksgiving holiday.  I love making cards using the sentiment of a verse as the focal point.

I used cream cardstock for the stamped sentiment and also for the card base.  The patterned paper I used is Pumpkin Patch from American Crafts.  For the matting, I used Old Olive and Pumpkin Pie.
I added some cute tiny fall leaf buttons and a couple of flowers .

Everything is NOW available at the krafty shop! All the new products are available individually but if you HAVE to have it ALL this month, you can pick up our GIMME KIMMIES KIT which contains one of EVERYTHING we released this month and at a discount but for a limited time!

Happy hoppin' and happy shoppin'!

Today we are celebrating ALL the new goodies from our February Release at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps!

All THREE new clear stamp sets are NOW available over at the Krafty Shop, along with our Charming Chartreuse inks, TWO new stencils and our new Rainbow Krafty Dots!

First up is the incredible new set from our new artist, Neda Sadreddin called....CUDDLES THE PUPPY!

My card uses one of the stamps from the Cuddles the Puppy set and I am sending it to my grandson as a Valentine card.  He has a very cute grey puppy, so I thought this would be perfect.  As always, I coloured the image with Copics and used a few dies, two matching ones to frame the image as well as the Decagon for the image.  I used another die to frame the sentiment.  For the background I used the great newly released Puppy Pawprints stencil, perfect for this stamp.  I sponged using the Kraftin' Kimmie Bubbly Blue Ink.  I used the sentiment from an older release, called Happy Thoughts.  It has some great sentiments in it too.  The card stock I used is a pale blue and a gorgeous red called Poppy Parade.  Lastly I added a grey puppy button.

Next is the super sassy ladies from the
A DOG'S LIFE stamp set by Emilie!

And the last clear stamp set is a delicious set of yummy-ness called DONUT WORRY from artist Melissa Baker-Nguyen!
