Kraftin’ Kimmie Stamps September Skrappy Challenge!

Good morning krafty friends!

It's September 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!

Today I'm sharing a sweet Autumn gift box, perfect for wrapping up a little gift for someone special! I used the We R Memory Keepers Explosion Board to create the XS gift box and lid with some pretty fall papers. Then, I diecut a square and added some lovely fall leaves using the New Falling Leaves Stencil along with Krafty Kolour Inks, including the New Cool Cantaloupe!

I stamped a leaf from the fabulous New Fall Breeze Stamp onto a teal paper from the P13 Paper Pad included in the amazing August Add-On Bundle! 

I coloured up this sweet squirrel and her pumpkin from the New Squirrel Friends Stamp Set with Copics and used a sentiment from the set on a kraft tag covered with Opal Polish for a shimmery golden effect. I finished off the box by tying some hemp twine around the box and adding this amazing Prima leaf charm, also included in the August Add-On Bundle!

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!  As soon as we have at least five people playing along, we'll be giving away a $10 gift voucher to the krafty shop as the monthly prize!  

You have until Monday, October 4th to enter, and you can submit as many new creations as you like for more chances to WIN!  Also be sure to share your designs on the Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps' Krafty Friends facebook page because we love to see your stuff!

Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps August New Release Hop & Shop!

 Woohoo!!!

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

 Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps Shop!

All five of our new stamp sets, plus two new stencils and a new hybrid ink colour were released yesterday along with our exclusive ADD-ON BUNDLE, 

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

There were just too many cute options to choose from, so I grabbed a bunch of images I had already coloured and used them on my card today! 

I started off by stencilling a soft background using the New COOL CANTELOUPE Ink with Summer Sunshine Krafty Kolours Ink and the New TIRE TRACKS Stencil. I love this fantastic bunny on a scooter image from the JUST DRIVIN' BY Stamp Set, and I coloured him up with Copics to match the colours in the P13 Paper Pack and Tags from the ADD ON BUNDLE. 

That BEEP Sentiment is awesome, and I think it looks like he's zooming through the Fall leaves from the HAY YOU Stamp Set. I stamped the leaf in several colours of Krafty Kolours Inks and coloured them in with coloured pencils, adding some shimmer with the pretty Opal Blaze Polish from the ADD ON BUNDLE. I added some of the cut aparts from the paper pack and stamped a fun sentiment that's actually in the FALL BREEZE Stamp Set! I added a partial Tag at the top of the card and finished it off with various Krafty Dots.

Inside, I stamped a leaf and sentiment from the FALL BREEZE Stamp Set using the New COOL CANTELOUPE and Berry Bliss Inks. I'm going to give this card to my hubby for our Anniversary next month! 

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

Today we are 'peeking' a fabulous set 

from artist Michelle Houghton

 and it's called.....

FALL BREEZE!

We're so excited to bring you this gorgeous set of leaves and beautiful sentiments that is going to be a must have Fall set!

I'm sharing a pretty Autumn tag with the beautiful FALL BREEZE Stamp Set today! I absolutely love it combined with the FALLING LEAVES Stencil!! I chose some pretty coordinating colours of Krafty Kolours Inks in Rich Rust, Summer Sunshine and Berry Bliss along with the New COOL CANTELOUPE Ink to stencil the tag background.

Then, I stamped the beautiful leaves - I love the size! - on various colours of the P13 paper pad included in the ADD-ON BUNDLE. I used the paper pack as well to cut apart some images to tuck in around the leaves, and I found some matching Krafty Dots.

I stamped one of the beautiful sentiments from the set and added on the P13 Tag, Prima Leaf Charm and shimmery Opal Blaze Polish, all from the fantastic ADD-ON BUNDLE!

Check out FALL BREEZE! in so many creations today as you hop around the Krafty Team's blogs! You'll also see the new stencils, Add-Ons and hybrid ink along the way!  Be sure to leave some love at each stop on the hop because there will be a giveaway for some krafty $$ to the shop!

Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps Challenge #557 - Fall or Winter!

Good morning and welcome to another fabulous and fun Saturday Challenge at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps! Are you ready for another fun and krafty challenge to inspire you and help get your creative juices flowing? We've got some fabulous ideas for you and can't wait to see what you create! This week, our challenge for you is to make a Fall or Winter project! I decided to do a fall spread in my mini traveler's notebook with A Brew-Tiful Day Stamps and the Sweater Weather Stencil.  

I created a gratitude notebook - perfect to document our Thanksgiving and all the things I'm thankful for. Coffee is one of my all time favourite things and I'm very thankful to wake up to the smell of a fresh cup! I'm so lucky my hubby makes me a latte almost every morning - and it's amazing!! I started by stamping a sentiment from the Grateful Pumpkins Stamp Set with Marvelous Mocha Ink (how perfect, hey!) I added the Sweater Weather Stencil and some Totally Taupe Ink and then created a flap with a tiny index card ephemera piece.  I stamped the wonderful coffee images from the A Brew-Tiful Day Stamp set, colouring some in with Copics and layered them onto the page.

Inside the flap I added another sentiment from the Grateful Pumpkins set and some coffee beans from the A Brew-Tiful Day. I added some stickers from the Carta Bella Hello Autumn sticker pad and wrote in my journaling. I thought it would be fun to look back on this page in the future to see how my mornings may or may not have changed! 

'

I also thought I'd share a page I did inspired by Kraftin' Kimmie's FB Live in the Krafty Journaling Fun Group where I used the Grateful Pumpkins Stamp Set along with the Wonky Chevron Stencil and Kraftin' Kimmie Inks. 

I think it's so important to keep a gratitude list. It's so easy to get down with all the day to day hardships, big and little, and I know it definitely helps me to focus on the good things that make life so amazing.

Each and every Saturday we post a brand new challenge for the week and you are welcome to enter as many times as you like.

These must be new creations and you are welcome to use any stamp, however, using Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps and products will earn you double entries!

The monthly prize is a $25 voucher to the Krafty shop!!!

Woohoo!  There are two ways to enter: you can link up your creation on the  Kraftin’ Kimmie blog page and

Kraftin’ Kimmie Stamps October Skrappy Challenge!

Good morning krafty friends! It's SEPTEMBER 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! 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!  As soon as we have at least five people playing along, we'll be giving away a $10 gift voucher to the krafty shop as the monthly prize! For my project today I made a handmade Thankful journal with a 6x6 sheet of patterned paper from the September SCT Sampler Pack. I used the We R Memory Keepers Book Binding Tool and added in copy paper and started decorating! This cute belly band on the front of the book keeps the book closed when I'm not using it and I had so much fun decorating it!

The sweet stamp on the front of the belly band is from the Pumpkin Kisses Stamp Set, stamped in Fresh Fields Krafty Kolours Ink. I added in stencilling with the Pattern Parade Stencil and Tempting Tangerine Ink. I love looking through my stamps and finding images that go together! I used the Mini Monsters Stamp Set for the tiny pumpkins and the It's Turkey Day Set for the leaves and words stamped on the little tags. The Seashore Dots were the perfect colour to pop on! On the front of the journal itself I added in a little diecut circle stamped with the Happy Thoughts Stamp, and even fussy cut the arrow from the same set. The tiny pink and blue hearts on the cover and belly band are from the Mini Monsters Stamp Set!

I created a little pocket inside the front cover with some paper and washi tape, glued around the edges and bottom - perfect to tuck those sweet tags into! I love the x's on the Pattern Parade Stencil and added more leaves and another stamp from the uplifting Happy Thoughts Stamp.

I added washi and various diecuts from the SCT Sampler along with the fabulous You've Got This stamp from the Happy Thoughts Set again, and this time stencilling the little dots.

I love the Pumpkin Kisses Harvest Wishes sentiment from the Pumpkin Kisses Stamp Set and coloured in the pumpkins with coloured pencils from the Happy Fall Y'all Stamp Set. See how much fun this mixing and matching is?!! This time I stencilled on the dashed lines with Bubbly Blue Ink.

I cut a smaller piece of patterned paper to fit in my book before I stitched it to add another fun element. I used some more washi and ephemera and stamped this sweet paper airplane from the Happy Thoughts Set.

I decorated one more page today and added the Count Your Blessings sentiment from It's Turkey Day. I'm going to love filling in this journal, and I think even though life is hard, remembering all the things we are thankful for make a difference in how we see the world. 💗

I can't wait to see what you come up with for this challenge!! You have until Monday, November 2nd to enter and you can submit as many new creations as you like on the Kraftin' Kimmie Blog for more chances to WIN!  Also be sure to share your designs on the Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps' Krafty Friends Facebook Group because we love to see your stuff!
