KKS August Krafty Peeks ... Day ONE! Lost In A Book!

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

It's time for our August Release Peeks to begin 

at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps!

Today we have an amazing book and tea lover set

designed by Michelle Houghton,

 and it's called.....

LOST IN A BOOK! 

You'll find lots of book images as well as a sweet teapot and cup and several awesome quotes in this set! 

I started out by stenciling one of our beautiful new stencils, Leafy Mandala, with Blue Bay, Designer Denim and Stormy Sky Inks. I love sitting down with my stencils and just creating - and then I have premade backgrounds to use on my cards! 

I then coloured all these amazing images with Copic Markers and even did some paper piecing with some pretty fall paper! I love how you could customize the plant pots, teapot and cups however you like! 

I stamped the Tea For Two sentiment on a banner strip and added it to the top of my card.

I used banner dies to cut 'bookshelves' for my little scene and handcut shapes to create a table for my tea party! I even created a little tablecloth with some leftover background paper, cut into a triangle, and stenciled with yellow ink.

As you hop around the design team's blogs today you'll be able to check out LOST IN A BOOK! in action in combination with our other new 

August 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....
LEAFY MANDALA

and 

PERFECT PIES

(a 2 piece layering stencil!)

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

on  Saturday, August 19th at 2 pm noon EST in the Krafty Friends group! 

For now, hop around and check out some amazing creations from the Krafty Team! Our fabulous designers can't wait to share their inspiration with you!

Come on back tomorrow for some more krafty fun and goodness!

KKS August Skrappy Challenge & Stamp Of The Month!!

It's August, and that means it's time for a brand new

SKRAPPY CHALLENGE

with Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps!

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!  

Also, because this is the first of the month, I thought I'd share the new Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps August Stamp Of The Month - Frightful & Delightful! 

This super cute witch stamp will be FREE with a $75 or more purchase at the

 Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps Shop (before taxes and shipping)

during the month of August!!

*while supplies last

I coloured up this adorable witch cutie with Copic Markers. I just love her sweet face and cute outfit!! I had a tag I previously created using texture paste and the awesome Pattern Parade Stencil and it was perfect to make a sweet Halloween tag! 

I added a sentiment from a Tim Holtz Chit Chat sticker book and found some fun puffy stickers in my stash. I'm thinking this cute witch would be perfect to decorate some Halloween treat bags and can't wait to make more!!
