Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps November Sneak Peeks Day 2 - Handmade Sentiments!

 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 

Melissa Baker-Nguyen and it's called.....

HANDMADE SENTIMENTS!!

This adorable set features lots of fabulous designs for the backs of your cards, for stamping on envelopes and tags, for gifts and lots more!  SO many options and this one is a must-have in your krafty collection! Check out HANDMADE SENTIMENTS in so many gorgeous creations today as you hop around the Krafty Team's blogs! You'll also see the new stencils, hybrid ink and krafty dots along the way! I couldn't wait to make a whole set of gift tags with this new stamp set!! I've also been playing around with my gelli plate and decided to try out the reinkers on it... and I love how they turned out! I paired the new SOFT SAGE reinker with various other colours of Kraftin' Kimmie Ink reinkers and got messy (but not too messy, ha ha) with the fabulous New SPLISH SPLASH stencil. There are lots of fun things you can do with the reinkers, and this is one of my favourites!!

I used my Cricut to cut a splat and heat embossed various sentiments from the HANDMADE SENTIMENTS set. I even used the dotted lines to create several faux stitching elements! You might recognize all the fun craft supplies I colour coordinated to each tag from the Let's Get Krafty Stamp Set!!

I added some ribbon, hemp twine, stickers and our New DREAMY DOTS to each tag and handstitched a button on. 

Of course I'm going to be using the HANDMADE SENTIMENTS set on the backs of all my cards, but I definitely wanted to use them on these tags as well! I'm sure this is going to make a handmade gift even more special!

Be sure to leave some love at each stop on the hop below because Kraftin' Kimmie will be giving away some krafty $$ to the shop! You'll see more of our November goodies tomorrow and then everything will be released after our LIVE Online Release Party on Saturday afternoon at 2pm ET in the Krafty Friends facebook group! For now, check out all the sweet goodness in today's hop! See you tomorrow!

Today's featured set is by Melissa Baker-Nguyen and it's called.....
SAVE MY PLACE!

We all have readers in our lives!  This super cute stamp set is perfect for lovers of the written word with lots of fun sentiments and such an assortment of literature lovin' critters!  As you hop around the design team's blogs today you'll be able to check out SAVE MY PLACE! in action in combination with a lot of our other new November Kraftin' Kimmie products!  For my project today I created two watercolour bookmarks - perfect to save the place! Just think how cute these would be tucked into a stocking or a card as an extra gift this holiday season!! I started off by stenciling the amazing images from the NEW STUDY BUDDY Stencil around a masked image of the books and adorable mice. I just love this fabulous stack of books stamp and I know I'll be using it a lot!

I then used some of my watercolours to add a soft blend to the background, books and critters. I added a dashed line around the edges and some glittery Nuvo Drops to add some bling! A coordinating ribbon through the top and my bookmarks are done! My 13 year old has already claimed one - she is never without a book handy!

You will spot our newest addition to the Kraftin' Kimmie Hybrid Ink rainbow!  It's a gorgeous new colour.....called SOFT SAGE!  As always it will be available in full sized ink pads, ink cubes and ink refills!

We've got TWO new Krafty Stencils for this month's release to help add some funky fun to your creations!  They are called STUDY BUDDY and SPLISH SPLASH! Both designs are perfect for all your cards, scrapbook pages, mixed media and more!

And of course we are adding the perfect new coordinating Krafty Dots for this release!  This month's additions are called DREAMY DOTS for adding the fabulous finishing touch to your design!

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 November Release Party on Saturday, November 21st at 2pm ET in the Krafty Friends group!

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!

Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps November Skrappy Challenge!

Good morning krafty friends! It's November 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! I decided to make a couple cute Christmas tags for this project today - because we all know you can't have too many extra tags when you start wrapping those gifts! I'm using the adorable Shake It Up and coordinating Shake It Up Polar Bears Stamp Sets for these sweet tags.

 I started off by diecutting the snowglobe gift tags from P13 Four Seasons Winter paper and then stamping the adorable images. I coloured them in with Copic Markers and added some white gel pen highlights. I really love all the cute accessories in these stamp sets - I added the sweet antler headband to my little bear and gave him a bright red polka dot scarf. 

I stamped a little sentiment banner for each tag using Kraftin' Kimmie Krafty Kolour Inks and threaded some pretty Christmasy twine through the top. I finished off each tag with some tiny red Seashore Krafty Dots and added a few Sprinkletz snowflakes. I'm sure these will make my gifts even more special! 

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, November 30th to enter and you can submit as many new creations as you like for more chances to WIN! You can link up to the Kraftin' Kimmie Blog, and also be sure to share your designs on the Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps' Krafty Friends facebook page because we love to see your stuff!
