KKS November Krafty Peeks… Day FOUR! Icy Penguin Pals!

Today is our final day of Krafty Peeks for the November Release 

 at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps!

We are so excited to share a fabulous new set 

by artist Becky Pearce

 called...

Icy Penguin Pals!

Our penguin friends are back again, and this time they are celebrating winter with warm wishes! They're sporting tiny skates and this set has a frozen pond and accessories!

For this card I started with a background stencilled using the awesome Build A Snowman Stencil! I made a melted snowman, inked with Krafty Kolours Ink in Wicked Black, Blue Bay, Festive Fuchsia, Marvelous Mocha and Tempting Tangerine.

I coloured the sweet penguin from the Icy Penguin Pals set with Zebra Clickart Markers and stamped the sentiment on the snowman background.

Here's a look at the backgrounds I made with Build A Snowman - I love that you can make a frosty and a melted snowman! 

Check out Icy Penguin Pals in so many amazing creations today as you hop around the Krafty Team's blogs!  You'll also see the beautiful new stencils, Build a Snowman and the Ugly Sweaters Layering Stencil along the way!

KKS November Krafty Peeks Day TWO… Snowy Village!

 Welcome back to Day TWO of our November 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 Michelle Houghton

 and it's called.....

Snowy Village! 

These lovely holiday homes and village accessories are perfect to build wonderful winter scenes on your cards and scrapbook pages! 

This is one of the projects I made live in the recent Kraftin' Kimmie Retreat! I stamped the houses with Granite Grey Ink and coloured with Zebra Clickart Markers to match the paper from the Paige Evans Sugarplum Wishes collection. I love the accessory stamps included in this set! 

I stamped the sentiments from this set using Ocean Opulence and Festive Fuschia.

I used the Let It Snow stencil for the background of the card, creating the perfect snowy backdrop, using Ocean Opulence and Precious Pink Inks.

I coloured up one of the adorable penguins from last month's It's Penguining To Look A Lot Like Christmas stamp set and added it to the mechanism on this wiper card, which was also in the Retreat kits. When you pull the edges of the card the penguin pops up, and when you close it he hides! 

I finished of the card with a few snowy details using a Liquid Applique marker and some cute penguin sequins!

 Check out Snowy Village and our new stencils in so many awesome creations today as you hop around the Krafty Team's blogs!  

You'll see more of our November goodies all week, and then everything will be released after our LIVE Online Release Party on Saturday at 2 pm ET in the Krafty Friends facebook group!  

For now, check out all the fantastic goodness in today's hop!

See you tomorrow!

KKS November Krafty Peeks… Day ONE! Sweater Weather!

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

It's time for our November Release Peeks to begin 

at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps!

Today we have an adorable set of winter friends,

designed by Sabrina van Vloten,

 and it's called.....

Sweater Weather!

These sweet animals are enjoying frosty activities and even some hot cocoa! Plus the accessory images are perfect to mix and match! As a bonus, be sure to check out our Build a Snowman stencil below, which has an icy rink sized to fit our friends' pond perfectly!

I love playing with the stencils to create backgrounds and then seeing how they inspire me to use them with the awesome stamp sets! I created this background by spraying the new Ugly Sweaters stencil with Distress Mica Stains and then pressing the stencil on another piece of cardstock to create this background resulting in the negative effect. I then took some of my Zebra Sarasa Pens and used the stencil to outline the edges.

I stamped the stump, bunny and hot cocoa stand on Bristol Vellum Cardstock and coloured the sweet images in with Zebra Clickart Markers.

I stamped the sentiment on white cardstock and inked the edge with Lovely Lagoon Krafty Kolours Ink. I inked the skating pond in the stamp set with the matching stencil from the Build a Snowman set using Blue Bay ink.

Here's a closeup look at the background I started with using the Ugly Sweaters stencil!

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

November 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....
Ugly Sweaters!

and 

Build a Snowman!

(a 2 piece layering stencil!)

This icy rink is sized to fit our Sweater Weather pond perfectly!

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 November Krafty Peeks and everything will be released at our LIVE Release Party 

on  Saturday, November 18th at 2 pm EST in the Krafty Friends group!
