Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps November Release Blog Hop!!!

EDITED: THIS BLOG HOP AND CANDY IS CLOSED!

YAY!!! It's KKS release day!

So, all the new November stamps are available in the Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps on-line store! The Krafty Girls, Krafty friends and Crissy one of the Krafty Artists all have some absolutely fabulous creations to show you today! We are having a big ol' blog hop so you can see them all and if you leave comments along the way you have several chances to win some Kraftin' Kimmie Kandy!

If you have started here then you need to go to the beginning of the hop and that is at the Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps blog! If you have arrived from Michele Boyer's blog then you are in the right spot and you have reached the end of the hop!!! Are you tired!? Well, don't take a nap just yet! I want to tell you about my card, smile!

I made my card 6x6 from Bazill Bling cardstock and used papers from Making Memories fall pp set and the coordinating lace ribbon. This lovely skating lady is Antoinette. She is 1 of 4 new images that come with an accessory stamp from the Moonlight Whispers collection and there are 4 sweet critters that come with a sentiment stamp from Crissy's Cuties collection.

I stamped Antoinette on ATS Copic Quality paper and coloured her with my beloved Copics. I made a mask of Antoinette on a post-it-note and stamped the snowflake accessory stamp, that comes with her, randomly around the image with Versamark ink. I then used Ranger Perfect Pearls and brushed it all over the image and then dusted off the excess powder and burnished it a bit with the brush!

Here is a close up of the soft shimmery Perfect Pearls snowflakes! I added a few Prima flowers with some antique metal brads from my stash! I used 2 of the 44 fabulous Holiday Sentiments from Kimmie's Holiday Sentiments set...one on the front and one for the inside sentiment. The sentiments are perfect for all your fall, winter and Holiday greetings and were designed by our very own Krafty Girl, Jeanne!

Well, I hope you have been leaving comments along the way and definitely leave a comment here too! Each Krafty Girl will be randomly picking someone from the comments left on their blog and then that person will win Kraftin' Kimmie Blog candy...so there is lots of fab KKS rubbah to be had!

Well, thanks for hopping by and having a wee peak! Good luck!

Whiff of Joy # 53 & Friday Sketchers # 76...Warm Thoughts

I am back with another card that I made this afternoon with my new Whiff of Joy Winter stamp set. It came in the mail on Tuesday and I have been itching to ink up this little cutie checking out her stocking. So, I thought I would join the challenge over at the Whiff of Joy challenge blog. This week they have a colour combo which is Red and Cream plus a colour of your choice. I'm not sure my card will qualify as I started with the sea foam green and then added in the peachy pink too and didn't really use too much cream but I am thrilled with how this card turned out anyways. I also used the great sketch that they have over at Friday Sketchers designed by Aud! I really love this sketch...all the layers are right up my alley and I'll definitely use it again!

My cardbase is 6x6 from light green Bazzill Bling cardstock and I used this winter Cosmo Cricket pp called Jolly by Golly! I just love the non-traditional colours and whimsical images on this paper! I matted with some peachy pink Bazzill Bling and added the red Bazzill Bling tag. Love this sea foam green American Crafts ribbon that says Santa Claus on it and I thought it would be perfect for this card. I used one of the sentiments that came in the WOJ Winter Stamp set and stamped it on a Nesties tag, inked ith with Distress inks, added a BG brad and pop-dotted it.

I am not sure if this little girl is named Lizzie or not but she is so sweet and she is my fave WOJ Winter stamp right now. I just adore her and I stamped her on ATS Copic Quality paper with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and coloured her with my Copics. I cut the image out with my rectangle Nesties and embossed it. I inked the edges with Antique Lined and Brushed Corduroy Distress inks. I added some Butter Cream Shimmerz here and there for a little sparkle.

Thanks for stopping by to have a wee peek!

Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps Challenge # 4 & BasicGrey Challenges #7...Holiday Cheer!

Happy Halloween Krafty Friends! Have you been sneaking a few chocolates here and there too?! Oh, I know I have, lol! I just hope we have enough left for the all the kidos, smirk! I am a little sad cuz my kidos don't want to wear cute costumes anymore. No, they are totally into everything gross, gory and lots of fake blood, lol! Yes, they are growing up, sigh!

Well, today is Saturday and that means it's challenge day! First up we have the Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps Challenge today! I am the hostess and I say "Tag! You're it"! Yes, I am challenging folks to use a tag(s) on your creation big, small, die cut or a recycled clothing tag...whatever your heart desires as long as there is a tag on your creation! Since, I have used, sweet Piper, one of the new images from the November release (that will be available tomorrow November 1st) the winner of this weeks Kraftin' Kimmie Challenge will win Piper....YAY!!! So, make sure you play along!

I also made this card for the BasicGrey Challenges. This week the fabulous Tara W picked this great inspirational photo for us to use! I love the great colours in this image. It was such fabulous inspiration! Thanks Tara! Well, I hope you can play along with the Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps Challenge and Basic Grey Challenges.

So for my card I used the colours in the photo and I picked Piper cuz she is holding a yummy cup of hot chocolate and there is a cuppa in the pic on the stack of magazines. I was also inspired by the pattern in the sofa with the white dots that gradually go from large to small.

So I made my cardbase 6x6 from chocolate brown Bazill cardstock and used BG Wassail and Bittersweet pp. I then stamped Piper from the Moonlight Whispers collection on ATS Copic Quality paper and coloured her with my Copics. I used the "Out of the Box" technique so her hat wouldn't get chopped off when I cut her out with the circle Nesties! I used this American crafts burgundy velvet scalloped ribbon at the bottom! It is so yummy...I just love it! My sentiment is from the fabulous Kimmie's Holiday sentiments set. There are 44 fabulous and perfect holiday sentiments in this set... love it! And it was created by our very own Krafty girl, Jeanne! I stamped the sentiment on a QK 2x2 tag. I added lots of half pearls and some Prima flowers left over from last year.

Well, Thanks for stopping by and having a wee peek! I hope you can join both the BasicGrey Challenge and Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps challenge. Also, make sure you come back tomorrow as Kimmie and the Krafty Girls have some extra fun planned for release day and I am sure you will already be "hopped" up on chocolate and candy so that should work to your advantage, *wink*!

Big hugs,

Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps Sneak Peek...Beary Christmas!

Hello Krafty friends! I went for my first never block injections yesterday! the doc was funny he said you are going to be a numskull...no literally you will have a numb skull, lol! Well, I thought it was cute,smile! It went well and wasn't very painful at all. My neck is sore at the injection sites but other than that it was pretty easy! I did feel a bit dizzy and light headed after but that went away after a few hours. It is very strange having the back of my head frozen though...a rather odd sensation. Thank you for all the comments of support. I really appreciated the kind comments!

well, I have a sneak peek for you today! November 1st there will be a new release of Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps YAY!!!! The Krafty Girls have been treating everyone to some eye candy with the new release! I hope you get to make the rounds and see all the great creations and the fabulous new images in the November release!

For my card I have used one of Crissy Armstrong's images from the Crissy Cuties collection. This is Ozzie and Harriet. Oh they are sooooo cute!

I made my cardbase 6x6 from green Bazzill Bling cardstock and used BasicGrey Mistletoe and Pear pp. I stamped Ozzie and Harriet on ATS Copic Quality paper and coloured them in with my Copics. I paper pieced the mits, scrafs and toque. Then I added some big red brads and some twill ribbon and added a little Stardust Stickels for a little sparkle. The sentiment is from Kimmie's Holiday Sentiment set and is part of the November release.

Well, thanks for stopping by and having a wee peek! I will have another preview for you tomorrow and I am hosting the Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps Challenge so stop back in!

The Copic colours are R20, YG06 and E33. The Krafty Girls are also starting the previews for the November release of Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps too! Whoo hoo!!!! Is this exciting or what!?

So, for my card I have used one of the new stamps from the Moonlight Whispers collection illustrated by Annie Rodrigue. This stunning snow Princess is Holly she also comes with a pretty holly accessory stamp. I stamped her on ATS Copic Quality paper with Tuxedo Black Memento ink. I coloured her dress with R20 and R21, her Hair with Y20 and E33 and the holly hair piece with YG06. I added some Glamour Dust as a light sprinkling of snow at her feet. I cut the image out with my Nesties and used the "out of the box technique". I added some small gems to her hair piece and to the image for a little sparkle.


I made the card 6x6 from pink Bazzill Bling cardstock and use my BasicGrey Eskimo Kisses pp and a BG Bling flower. The Sentiment is from the November release of Kimmie's sentiments. There is some really fabulous fall/winter/Christmas sentiments in this set...another must-have set!

Just Magnolia # 28 & Cute Card Thursday # 83...Sweetie!

Good morning, friends! Well, I am feeling a bit better and I will be going to work today...I have a pretty busy week ahead of me and I have to tell ya that I am a bit nervous about this Thursday. I have mentioned before that I am a Migraineure and have been since I was about 9-10 years old. I have tried many different treatments over the years and I am set to try yet another. I will have my first of five nerve block injection on Thursday, YIKES! It sounds painful, doesn't it!? The injection are in the base of the skull/neck area. Well, I just hope it doesn't hurt too much and that I get some relief! I let you know how if goes!

So, I needed to make another B-day card for a friend at work! She like s to cook and bake so I used this cute Tilda from the Yummy collection that I already had coloured to co-ordinate with BG Lemonade. I Then stamped the Magnolia cupcake and coloured it with my Copics and cut it out with my oval Nesties.

I made the 6x6 cardbase from pink Bazzill Bling cardstock and used Martine's fabulous Sketch that is over at the Just Magnolia Challenge blog this week! I just had to move the tag so that Tilda could fit in. The sentiment is a Studio G stamp. I used some Prima flowers that I Shimmerized and some American Crafts ribbons. The buttons are BG Indian Summer. I am also entering this card in the challenge at Cute Card Thursday...Candy Corn...they want to see something sweet on you card and it doesn't have to be Halloween related.

Here is the inside....the sentiments are from Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps Kimmie's Everyday Sentiments set. I just noticed that the strip of cherry paper is upside down....oopps...think anyone will notice, smile!

Well, Thanks for stopping by and having a wee peek! Hope you have a great week! Oh, I will have some some sneaky peeks of the November release of Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps later this week so make sure stop by again!

Hugs,
