KKS September Hop & Shop!

 Woohoo!!! 

Today we are celebrating all the new fabulous goodies in our September Release that are NOW available in the

 Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps Shop!

and we're excited to share it ALL with you in a fabulous krafty HOP!

I'm using the awesome GNOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS today! This sweet sets has holiday sentiments, but lots of images and accessories that could be used all year long! I watercoloured the stamped images up with Zebra Clickart Markers, using Vicki Boutin Foundations paper. I added some white gel pen highlights and paper piecing on the gnome hat and tree!

I sprayed the MERRY MISTLETOE stencil with Tim Holtz Mica Stain and then pressed the stencil with leftover spray onto another piece of cardstock to create the negative impression that you see below on my cardbase. I used a piece of ephemera from the Vicki Boutin Evergreen and Holly collection and then added a sentiment stamped with Crisp Crimson Ink. I finished off the card with some dew drops from The Robin's Nest Creative.

So let's check everything out as we hop around the Krafty Design Team's blogs today!  Grab a drink, sit back and relax while we take you on a krafty tour!

KKS September Krafty Peeks... Day TWO! Gnome For The Holidays!

  Welcome back to Day TWO of our September Krafty Peeks!

Are you excited about what you've seen so far!?  Are you ready for more?

I hope your answer was yes because we've got more fabulous fun for you today!

The stamp set we are 'peeking' for you today is from 

artist Neda Sadreddin

 and it's called.....

GNOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS! 

These adorable gnomes are working so hard to get ready for Christmas! Of course their sweet accessories are perfect to mix and match with your other sets too!!

I chose two of the cute gnome images and watercoloured them with Zebra Clickart Markers. I used the candy cane accessory stamp and stamped the sweet, punny sentiment with Crisp Crimson Krafty Kolours Ink.

I chose a tree diecut from a Vicki Boutin ephemera pack and added The Robin's Nest Dew Drops over the ornaments! I cut out a Merry Christmas sentiment from the Vicki Boutin paper and added it to the top left of the card.

I added the snow layer of the Let It Snow layering stencil over various parts of the background and used Ranger Tim Holtz Grit Snowfall Paste to add sparkly fun! A bit of Tonic Nuvo Crystal Glaze finishes off the card!

 Check out GNOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS! and our new stencils in so many awesome creations today as you hop around the Krafty Team's blogs!

KKS September Krafty Peeks... Day ONE! Snow Fairies!

  Who's ready for lots of brand new Krafty goodies?!

It's time for our September Release Peeks to begin 

at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps!

Today we have a beautiful winter fairy set

designed by Sabrina van Vloten,

 and it's called.....

SNOW FAIRIES!

These sweet fairies are perfect for the holidays and will be sure to give any of your winter projects a magical flair!! 

I coloured these magical fairies with Copic Markers, using the sweet flying boy and the girl holding the snowball! 

I decided this would be a snowy scene, so I used the 2 piece Let It Snow layering stencil with Precious Pink, Flirty Flamingo and Blue Bay Inks, adding some Beluga Solar Paste over the ink for a light shimmer. I love how you can use this stencil alone or together! It is so much fun for scene building or accents! 

As you hop around the design team's blogs today you'll be able to check out SNOW FAIRIES in action in combination with our other new 

September Kraftin' Kimmie products!  

We've also got TWO new Krafty Stencils for this month's release to help add some funky fun to your creations!  

They are called....
MERRY MISTLETOE!

and 

LET IT SNOW!

(a 2 piece layering stencil!)

Both designs are perfect for all your cards, scrapbook pages, mixed media and more!

You'll get to see all of our brand new goodies in action over the next few days of the September Krafty Peeks and everything will be released at our LIVE Release Party

I believe Halloween Candy is definitely a food group, so I grabbed the adorable Too Cute To Spook stamp set (on sale this weekend!) and watercoloured it with Zebra Clickart Markers on Vicki Boutin Foudations Paper. I love that this set comes with cute accessory stamps! I added the tiny yummy candy pieces as well as some fun stickers and foam sentiments!

I sponged the Sprinkles stencil with Enchanted Emerald, Pumpkin Patch, Purple Pansy to match the patterned paper colours and then stamped a cute sentiment with the set using the purple ink! Now, off to find some Halloween goodies!

September Stamp Of The Month - Christmas Kisses!

 We are so excited to share our newest Stamp Of The Month -

Christmas Kisses!

This will be FREE with a $75 or more purchase at the

 Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps Shop (before taxes and shipping)

during the month of September!!

*while supplies last

and as an extra special bonus, there will be a 

FREE GIFT

 in December if you collect all our Stamp Of The Month sets this year! 

These two sweet mice are so adorable!! I watercoloured them with Zebra Clickart Markers and used the Semi Circles Stencil to create a snowglobe effect, layering on the Cool Crystals Stencil. I used Tranquil Teal and Blue Bay Krafty Kolours Inks outside and inside the semi circle masks for a soft snowy look.

I stamped the included sentiment with Ruby Red ink and then sponged Bashful Blush around the outside of the banner I used for a snowglobe base. I love that the mistletoe is separate on this set and it would be perfect for anniversary, wedding, valentines, etc! 

We also have a new Ink Of The Month, which will be on sale all month long!! This month features the gorgeous Bashful Blush Ink Pad, Ink Cube and Reinker! Grab it now to add to your collection.
