Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps 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 decided to create a planner spread - because I definitely can use a little extra organization as December begins!! I pulled out the brand NEW Planner Doodles stamp set along with the fabulous Perfect Planner set and the adorable Krafty Elves. You'll even get a peek of that fantastic Magical Mosaic Stencil and various Krafty Kolours Inks!! 

I started off by stencilling with the Magical Mosaic Stencil and by using a small dabber I was able to control where I stencilled - using the snowflake pattern you can see in this awesome design. I then added some Mildliner Highlighter and various images and sentiments from both the Planner Doodles and Perfect Planner sets. 

Lastly, I stamped the sweet Krafty Elves onto white sticker paper, coloured them with Copics and fussy cut around them for custom stickers. I grabbed a few Doodlebug stickers from my stash and finished up the week. I feel ready to start December off on a roll!!

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, January 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 Krafty Christmas!

Hello friends! I'm so excited to be kicking off the 12 Days of Krafty Christmas over on the Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps blog with Day #1!! Each day, for the next 12 days, the KKS blog will be featuring cards from the last year and today I'm sharing a new creation I've made with one of last January's stamp sets - You're Gnaw-some, along with the Petite Posies stencil. I decided to make this card into a Christmas card by adding some festive stamps from the Elf-tacular stamp set too!! 

I used some Bubbly Blue Krafty Kolours Ink behind the beautiful Petite Posies stencil and then added Nuvo Moonstone Glitter Paste for extra sparkle. I glued on some pretty pearls in the center and I'm thinking they look like gorgeous snowflakes!! 

I love these two characters and how much they are obviously in love!! I tucked in some accessories after colouring everything with Copics and placed them on a snowy bank. Obviously, this set is not just for Valentines, but is super cute for that too!! 

Thanks so much for stopping by! Be sure to check out the Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps blog over the next 12 days, where you'll find a link to enter your own creations you made with fun goodies from 2020 from the Kraftin' Kimmie Shop and you'll be able to leave a comment for a chance to win Krafty $'s!!

Handmade Travelers Notebook Gardening Journal with Video! Watch Now!

 Hello friends! I'm popping in today to share a project I made Live on the Scrap Shotz Facebook Page last week. I shared how to make a travelers notebook with the We R Memory Keepers Book Binding Tool and NEW Wild Whisper Designs Supplies! I decided to use this journal to document the plants and flowers we planted this summer, and add in any nature we see that makes us happy, flowers on a walk, trees with fall leaves... I can't wait to fill it up with beautiful things! Here's a look at what I have done so far.

Here's a look at the video with exact dimensions to use if you want to create one of these yourself!

Thanks so much for stopping by! I'd love to hear if you use travelers notebooks!! You can find the one I created as a book journal HERE!

Jolly Character Christmas Card!

Hello crafty friends! I'm back today with a sweet Christmas card using the adorable Jolly Characters and Comfort and Joy Paper from Close To My Heart! Over the past couple months I've been doing a fun collab with one of my friends Jennifer Smith and sharing some creative projects using some of the awesome supplies in her Shop!! I'd love for you to check her out - you can find her online at her Blog, Website, Facebook page and Instagram! I couldn't wait to colour up these super sweet mini characters to add to this cute Christmas card. I used my Cricut Maker to cut out a scallop edged rectangle and a frame with 9 circles cut to fit these cute images using the Comfort and Joy Paper.

I even used the Maker to draw a circle frame with one of the gold Cricut pens. After colouring in the Jolly Characters images - and they colour up quick! - I popped up the frame with foam tape. I even cut a coordinating bow and then added some Nuvo glitter drops for shine! This set is going to be perfect for a December album, journaling, calendars, tags and mini cards too!!

Thanks so much for stopping by! Be sure to check out Jennifer and all the fun things in the CTMH Shop! I hope you have an amazing week friends!

Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps November New Release Hop & Shop!

Woohoo!!! Today we are celebrating all the new fabulous holiday goodies in our November Release that are NOW available in the Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps Shop! All three of our new stamp sets, plus two new stencils, a new hybrid ink colour SOFT SAGE and new DREAMY DOTS were released yesterday and we're excited to share it ALL with you in a fabulous krafty HOP! 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 I'm using a little bit of everything from our new release to create a gift card holder and bookmark set! I decided to start off with the adorable images from SAVE MY PLACE. This bookworm is seriously cute!! I added some googly eyes to his little glasses for even more fun! 

I used my gelli plate and the gorgeous New SOFT SAGE ink refill and STUDY BUDDY Stencil to create a fun background for the gift card holder diecut. Some pretty P13 paper was just right for paper piecing the awesome book stamp and I stamped a sentiment from the set. I created a bookmark from more gelli plate paper and stamped on the adorable reading chameleon and some images from the New PLANNER DOODLES Stamp Set. If you look closely, you'll even see a tiny stack of books I stamped on shrink plastic hanging from the ribbon!!

On the back of the bookmark I had to use one of the amazing New HANDMADE SENTIMENTS stamps, and I added some of the awesome DREAMY DROPS on the holder for the finishing touch! This is going to be wonderful to give with a gift card to a favourite bookstore!

The entire release of stamp sets this month was designed by artist,
Melissa Baker-Nguyen!
The first is called SAVE MY PLACE!

and the second is HANDMADE SENTIMENTS!

The last stamp set is PLANNER DOODLES!

Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps November Sneak Peeks Day 3 - Planner Doodles Plus a Challenge!

 Today is our final day of Krafty Peeks for the November Release at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps! Today we are absolutely thrilled to be introducing PLANNER DOODLES!

This stamp set has been designed specifically for your planners, calendars, datebooks, journals, pocket pages and lots more!  And who doesn't want to be a bit more organized in 2021??!

As you hop around the design team's blogs today you'll be able to check out PLANNER DOODLES in action in combination with a lot of our other new November Kraftin' Kimmie products! I love getting organized each month and making my calendar look pretty at the same time, so this set is perfect in combination with Kraftin' Kimmie Inks, including the awesome New SOFT SAGE! 

I love all the planner sentiments as well as all the awesome images that can be used in many different ways! The stars, arrows, dots and more are great to decorate your pages and even cards and tags. This is a family calendar that hangs in our kitchen, and my kiddos always love it when I get the calendar all decorated! Plus seeing at a glance daily things we need to do or reminders is awesome!

I used the New STUDY BUDDY Stencil with Precious Pink Ink and stamped the super cute images from the New SAVE MY PLACE Stamp Set. I actually stamped on sticker paper and coloured with my copics to avoid the marker from bleeding through. 

I swear, even garbage day is fun now!! I love the speech bubble, ovals and squares that are perfect to jot in little reminders!

I used the New SPLISH SPLASH Stencil with our New SOFT SAGE Ink to add fun painty splats and then used some stickers from my stash, including some of my favs from The Aesthetics Studio on Instagram. I'm so happy with how my calendar looks this month and I can't wait to start on December!!
