KKS December Skrappy Challenge!

Good morning krafty friends! 
It's December, and that means it's time for a brand new
SKRAPPY CHALLENGE

with Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps!

The theme of course is ANYTHING BUT A CARD!

I'm sharing a mixed media gift tag that I created Live in the last Krafty Retreat! If you took part in that retreat you can find the video and a PDF with step by step directions on how to create it!

I coloured one of the cute gnomes from Gnome for the Holidays with Zebra Clickart Markers, masking off the axe and instead adding a cute candy cane, included in the stamp set. I added a sentiment from It's Penguining to Look a Lot Like Christmas and had fun embellishing with stickers, ephemera and pretty papers from the Paige Evans Sugarplum Wishes collection!

On the back I stamped a sentiment from the gnome set and now my tag is ready to gift to a special friend!

For this challenge you can make anything that strikes your fancy....except a card!
So design a new scrapbook page, bookmark, tag, altered item, planner page, art journal, ATC cards...whatever you like!

Just make sure to include some Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps products and make sure it's a new creation!

I am sharing my project for Day 2 of the Krafty Advent Kalendar that I will be showing you how to make Live at 10 am ET today in the Krafty Friends Facebook Group! I coloured the images with Zebra Clickart Markers and did some pretty paper piecing to create a cute banner!



I used the Wooly Winter stencil with Krafty Kolours Inks in Pretty In Pink, Flirty Flamingo, Raspberry Rose and Crisp Crimson and then stamped the sweet sentiment with Lovely Lagoon. I added some glitter gel, an acrylic snowflake and dew drops from The Robin's Nest Creative!


If you missed Day 1 of the reveal, you can find all the details on my Instagram feed! At the end of the 12 days I will have a lovely Christmas banner to hang in my home, so be sure to follow along!

Deck The Halls!

This adorable little bear is getting ready for the holidays and hanging his sweet wreath! I coloured the cute image up with Copic markers!


I love the Pretty Poinsettias Layering Stencil and used it as my background, sponging with Crisp Crimson, Mossy Meadow and Charming Chartreuse Krafty Kolour Inks.


I added a pretty green Robin's Nest Creative Dew Drop, white gel pen accents, Tonic stars and Ranger Stickles to my background and image.


I added a diecut bow to make my stencilled background look like a present and then stamped a sentiment from the new Snowy Village stamp set! 


We hope you're as excited as we are about the 
December Stamp Of The Month - Deck The Halls!!
