Kraftin’ Kimmie Stamps October Sneak Peeks- Day 1 Krafty Elves

Who's ready for lots of brand new Krafty goodies?! It's time for our October Release Peeks to begin at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps! We've got lots of fun holiday goodness for you and we're kicking things off with a new stamp set that *might* look a little familiar....and that's because this set was the special release that was part of our Krafty Fall Retreat Swag Bags!!!

Today's featured set is by fabby artist, Sabrina van Vloten and it's called.....KRAFTY ELVES! I mean, what's more appropriate that some little Christmas elves getting krafty for the holidays!!?  There are three main images...one baking, one making a toy train and of course, one colouring!!  There are some additional fun accessory stamps plus sentiments including a 'handmade by' for the backs of your creations!

As you hop around the design team's blogs today you'll be able to check out KRAFTY ELVES in action in combination with a lot of our other new October Kraftin' Kimmie products! I decided to create some sweet little tags with this adorable set! I couldn't choose just one, so I decided to play with them all! 

I absolutely love this month's stencils, and chose the MAGICAL MOSAIC one to create a colour coordinated background for my diecut tags. I just love this tiny baking elf!! I can imagine adding this gift tag to some yummy baked goodies I'll be delivering in December 💗 I coloured her up with Copic Markers and added some white gel pen highlights. Precious Pink (new last month!) and Raspberry Rose Krafty Kolours Inks coordinate with the Doodlebug Design papers and pretty pink ribbon! 

I used the NEW AMAZING AZURE for this sweet tag with the little toy making elf! It is such a lovely bright blue colour - you're going to have to add it to your collection!! I even added a few little snowflakes stamped on the background of each tag from the cute Elf-Tacular stamp set - you know I love to mix and match!! This one will be perfect to attach to my 8 year old's gift under the tree!

Lastly, I used the sweet little artist elf on a green tag, stenciling again with the MAGICAL MOSAIC using Charming Chartreuse and Enchanting Emerald. This one will be perfect to add to my 13 year old daughter's gift, which will be sure to include art and planner supplies! 

The fabulous colours of NEW DAZZLING DOTS match all my tags and I even found some pretty twine and coordinating jingle bells!! We actually woke up to a blanket of snow on the ground yesterday, so I was really in the mood for Christmas crafting! I can't wait to see what you do with these adorable stamps!! 

On your hop today, you will spot our newest addition to the Kraftin' Kimmie Hybrid Ink rainbow!  It's a gorgeous new electric blue colour.....called AMAZING AZURE! 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.... MAGICAL MOSAIC and SO MANY SQUARES! Both designs are perfect for all your wintry 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 DAZZLING DOTS for 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 October Krafty Peeks and everything will be released at our LIVE October Release Party on Saturday, Oct 17th at 2pm ET in the Krafty Friends group!

For now, hop around and check out some amazing creations from the Krafty Team and be sure to leave some love at each stop on the hop!  Your comment could be a WINNER of some krafty $$ to use in the shop!  (Not to mention our designers are incredible and you should tell them so!  ;)  Come on back tomorrow for some more krafty fun and goodness!

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!

Kraftin’ Kimmie Stamps Krafty Komeback, Girly Sparkly Challenge #551 and WCMD!!

 It's a very exciting day at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps! Not only is it challenge day but it's also time for a Krafty Komeback!! In case you are new to Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps, we have been creating whimsical krafty stamp sets for almost ELEVEN YEARS!  So we have lots of incredible designs that have long retired and once in a while we bring one back for you!

Today we are bringing back two holiday images that were originally released in 2012!!  It's just in time for those Christmas creations!  These images were only ever released in rubber and NOW you can get them as a set in clear photopolymer!! It's called CHRISTMAS IS LOVE!

We've got a krafty hop going on today to celebrate this fun release and promotion! I decided to use the adorable elf with the tipsy tree! Seriously, these are so adorable!! I coloured her up with Copic Markers in fun colours and added some glittery accents on the Christmas balls and tree along with some of those fabulous New Christmas Dots and some pearls from a shaker mix pack. I added even more sparkle with some Gina K Iridescent Glitz Glitter Gel and this month's New Release Twinkle Little Stars Stencil on the wood grain paper behind her.

The lovely paper I used is from the P13 Winter Season paper pad - so pretty!! I white heat embossed the awesome sentiment and added a little more fun and bling with a snowflake brad and some more snowflake shaker elements!

Inside, I added another one of the great sentiments, stamped with Krafty Kolours Ink! I can't wait to send this card to someone special!!

DIY Travelers Notebook Book Journal with Wild Whisper Designs!

 Hello friends! I'm back today to show you a project I'm sharing on the Wild Whisper Designs Blog. I recently did a Facebook Live Video for Scrap Shotz, showing how to make a DIY travelers notebook with Wild Whisper products and the We R Memory Keepers book binding tool. I decided to create a book journal for my daughter who loves to read, and I know she'll love to fill this with all the books she's reading and keep little notes on each one! It was so easy, I may just have to make one customized for all my family and friends!

Here's a look at the first page I did, and you can see the rest on the Wild Whisper Designs Blog!

Here's a look at the video showing you lots of NEW Wild Whisper goodies and the exact dimensions to cut your paper to create the journal!

Thanks so much for stopping by! Be sure to check out the Wild Whisper Designs Blog for closeups & details of each page and a list of products I used from the Wild Whisper Designs Shop. Don't forget, you can save 10% off at the WW Store with the code DTKARLA, so happy shopping!!

Mixed Media Fall Tag with Video! Watch now!

 Hello friends! I thought I would pop in to share the project I created Live on the Creative Scrapbooker Magazine Facebook Page yesterday! We made a mixed media fall tag with some new Wild Whisper goodies (don't forget to use the code DTKARLA to save 10% off at the Wild Whisper Shop 😉), Tim Holtz Distress Oxide Sprays and Inks, Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps Krafty Kolours Inks and P13 paper!! 

You can follow the steps I used to make any mixed media tags - I'm definitely going to do these up for Christmas and Winter!! 

I even used up the extra ink spray to colour coordinate a seam binding ribbon and a separate tag that we used for diecuts and stamping! 

Here's a look at the Video! I do a Live video each month for CSM, and you can find all the previous ones HERE!
