Kraftin’ Kimmie Stamps Krafty Komeback & Saturday Challenge!

It's a very exciting day at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps! Not only is it challenge day but it's also time for a.... Krafty Komeback!! In case you are new to Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps, we have been creating whimsical krafty stamp sets for over TEN YEARS!  So we have lots of incredible designs that have long retired and once in a while we bring one back for you!


Today we are bringing back a stamp set that was originally released in 2013!!  It's just in time for those spooky creations for Halloween!  This set was only ever released in rubber and NOW you can get it in clear photopolymer!! It's called.....YOU'RE A SCREAM!


I so love making Halloween Cards and for my project today I'm using this little spider who is so cute!! I coloured her in with Copic Markers and found some fun Halloween papers to match the fun and not too spooky vibe I was going for. She's definitely one of the most adorable spiders I've ever seen!! 


I used the Creepy Cobwebs Stencil with Krafty Kolours Inks to create a fun nighttime background and diecut a sparkly circle of glitter paper for a moon. This cute little hanging spider from the I Want Candy stamp set (on sale this weekend!) is a little friend hanging out!! I added one of the adorable sentiments to the bottom of the card and added a few NEW Halloween Dots to finish off the card!

For today's hop I'm sharing the awesome little turkey from IT'S TURKEY DAY, along with the fall leaves included in the stamp set!


I coloured up this cutie with Prima Watercolor Pencils and used Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers around the edges. I used the Krafty Kolours Inks in various fall colours, along with the NEW TEMPTING TANGERINE to ink some white cardstock and then stamped the leaves directly on top. I tucked them into this pretty diecut wreath and added some of the NEW HALLOWEEN DOTS for little pops of colour.


Of course, I had to use one of those fun wobblers to create a funny wobbling effect for this guy!!


I stamped two of the sentiments on a scalloped banner, embossing with white embossing powder, and I added a couple more leaves. Now my card is ready to send to a friend for fun Thanksgiving wishes with a little surprise when they open the envelope!


Here's a look at a little video clip showing you this guy in action!

I stamped all my images with Totally Taupe Ink for a no-line effect and coloured them in with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers. I layered them to fit on the inserts so that they appear staggered - there are so many fun images and accessories that this set is perfect to create awesome scenes with!

I used the tiny star included in the set to stamp inside some of the circles on the Simple Stories Say Cheese Halloween paper I used. I love the books from the stamp set - you can lay them flat or stand them up! Super cool!

I used the GORGEOUS GAUZE Stencil for the top layer of the shaker card, coloured with various purple Kraftin' Kimmie Krafty Kolour Inks. After diecutting I layered it on top of a background stencilled with the beautiful NEW TEMPTING TANGERINE and Party Peach Inks using the NEW GHOULISH GHOSTS. I love the negative effect this stencil creates!

I added some fun sequins from my stash and used Glossy Accents and Nuvo Crystal Drops on the candies for glimmer and shine! The fun sentiments were perfect to stamp directly on the acetate with Stazon Ink, and I popped on some of those awesome little HALLOWEEN DOTS! I love the colours in this pack!!
