Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps Preview # 3.....All I want for Christmas...!

Good Morning Krafty friends! I'm back with another preview today for the Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps Sweet Holiday October release. It will be available in the KKS on-line store tomorrow October 19th and we are having a Krafty Blog Hop then too, so make sure to come by again tomorrow!

Today, I am featuring, Nick...he is such a cool dude don't ya think!? I wonder if he has his eye on one of the Pin-Up Girls, lol! Maybe he wants to smooch with Raychel, he, he, he! Nick, comes with a sentiment and a pile of gifts for an accessory stamp!

I used this MME paper called Holly Jolly for this card and I kept it simple...no flowers, can you believe it!? Just some AC ribbon and a few half pearls...the sentiment is a KKS sentiment but I can't remember what set it comes in...maybe the Sassy Sentiments set, but don't quote me.

Well, thanks for stopping by and having a wee peek! Make sure to take a peek at all the fabulous cards by the other Krafty Girls and come back tomorrow for the Krafty Hop!

Hugs,

Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps Preview # 2...Happy Feasting!

Good morning Krafty friends! Time for another quick preview from the Sweet Holiday October Release of Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps! It will be available in the Kraftin' Kimmie online shop on Tuesday October 19th!

Today I am featuring Merry....she is sooooo sweet and I loved colouring her...I told my daughter, Hannah that I think this is the best turkey I have ever "made",lol! She totally agreed, considering I have never cooked a turkey in my life...well, I have coloured one now though and it looks pretty yummy, if I do say so myself! I love this sentiment too that comes in the So Thankful Sentiment set.

I used this yummy 6x6 paper pad called Snow Day by Crate Paper...love the colours in it...perfect for a Thanksgiving, Christmas or winter card. I embellished with AC ribbon, lace trim, Prima flowers and added some QuicKutz Oak Leaves cut from the pp.

Thanks for stopping by and having a wee peek! Pop back tomorrow for another preview and make sure to visit all the other Krafty Girls' blogs to see the stunning cards they have made with the new release stamps!

Magnolia Down Under Challenges....# 68...A Sketch...stop and smell the flowers!

Hey crafty friends! Well, I have to tell you I had an absolutely FABULOUS time this weekend at Scrapfest, helping out at the Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps booth! Kimmie and her wonderful and very funny hubby, Al, and stunning and oh so sweet daughter, Emiliegh were there too! They are such a beautiful family and they were so kind and made the day so much fun! I had a blast! Thank you, Kimmie, for everything...you are the BESTEST!!! I also, got to hang out with 3 super talented and super sweet krafty girls, Krista, Melanie and Vicki...I learned so much watching them colour...what skills OMGosh!! I just had the best time and laughed so much my cheeks still hurt! Thanks girls for making the weekend such a great time and I hope we can do it again really soon!!!

So now on to my card for the Magnolia Down Under Challenges! This week we have a gorgeous sketch by Debbie P. I loved this sketch and will definitely use it again! I am a bit late with my card and I apologize but not having easy access to a computer has really been a pain in the butt! I so need to get a new one asap!

So, for my card I used Romantic Tilda....I love her to bits...she is so cute! I coloured her with my Copics and I used some 6x6 Webster Pages pp, Martha Stewart crinkled ribbon and a BG button, some Prima flowers and a Mellisa Frances rub-on and Catslife Press label stamp.

Thanks for stopping by and having a peek at my card! I'm keeping it short and sweet as I have had a long day and I'm not use to my Dad's computer so doing up this post is a bit of a challenge!

So, I really hope you join the challenge this week at Magnolia Down Under challenges and make sure to visit all the other MDUC DT as they have such gorgeous creations to share with you!!

Happy Stampin'!

Hugs,

Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps Challenge # 50 & October Release Preview # 1!

Good morning Krafty friends! Well, I am back from my wee blog break! I went on a Caribbean Cruise with my hubby and the kiddos and we had an absolutely fabulous time on Liberty of the Seas. I hope to have some pics to share with you from our trip once I get a new computer...yes, unfortunately, I am still without a computer and only have my Dad's to work on. I have been so busy since I got back that I haven't had time to do any computer shopping yet! But it is top of my to do list, trust me!

Well, enough rambling, time to get krafty! Today we have a new challenge over at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps Challenge blog and I'm the hostess this week! We would like to see you make a card with Non-Traditional Christmas Colours! The krafty Girls are also starting the previews from the new Sweet Holiday October release that will be available in the Kraftin' Kimmie on-line shop on Tuesday October 19th. There are 6 super cute images from Annie Rodrigue and Steven Leary is back again with super cute stamps with Miles the Mouse and pal.

So, for my card I used Christmas Clara....just love her to bits and in keeping with the non-traditional colours I used this scrumptious BoBunny patterned paper called Winter Joy that I just adore...be prepared to see lots of it over the next little while, smile! I used one of the sparkly Winter Joy brads and I embellished with Prima and WOC roses and American Crafts ribbon! I also sprinkled a few lilac half pearls here and there and added lots of stickles to Clara so she is really sparkly IRL! The sentiment on the front of the card is actually on the patterned paper!

Here is the inside...the sentiment here comes with one of the other stamps, "Nick", from the new Sweet Holiday October Release and I will be sharing a card with him later this week!

Well, I hope you have some krafty time this week and can join the non-traditional Christmas colours challenge! I will be at the Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps booth #425 at Scrapfest today with Kimmie and many of the other Krafty Girls. I hope to see you there and it is a chance to get your inky paws on the new release right away!!!

Have a Stampin' Great Day!

Magnolia Down Under Challenges # 66.....Colour Combo....Friends Fill your Life with Smiles!

Good morning crafty friends! I am so excited to share my first official Magnolia Down Under challenges card with you today! We have a fabulous colour combo....nice and easy for my first challenge too...phew...Blue, Yellow, Green and Kraft...this is fabulous combination and I love using kraft cardstock so right up my alley!

I hope you get some time to join us with this challenge and please visit the MDU Challenges DT as they have stunning creations to inspire you!

For my card I once again used my Echo Park Life is Good patterned paper...it was perfect for this colour combo. I decided to ink up a neglected stamp, Tilda with Sunflower...shame I neglected her really, as, she is sooooo darn cute, but she has got some love now,smile! I coloured her with my Copics and cut her out with my oval Nesties using the "Out of the Box Technique" and inked the background colour with Tumbled Glass Distress ink. I used this fabulous Magnolia sentiment too from the Animal and Pet Collection. I stamped it with green Memento ink on one of the elements that co-ordinates with the Echo Park pp. I cut two scalloped borders from Kraft cardstock with my MFT large scallop border di-nmaics die and added some Martha Stewart seam binding that I crinkled. I punched some MS butterflies from QuicKutz cork material and added some Prima flowers and a little bling too!

Here is the inside it is rather simple...this sentiment is by Stamping Bella.

Well, thanks so much for stopping by and having a wee peek at my MDU Challenges card...I'm going to be MIA for about a week or so crafty friends! I won't be around to visit and see your gorgeous creations and to comment...I will be back blogging though in no time and will catch up with all you then!

Big Hugs,
