Wonderful Wednesday!

It's Wonderful Wednesday time!! We hope you can play along!! As always....it's ANYTHING GOES!! Break out your Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps and get krafty!!

We're KLEARLY excited about the new KLEAR stamps!! Have you seen them yet?!? They are live and in the store, HERE!

For my card I used two of the new KLEAR sets we just released this past weekend. HOLIDAY STYLE and  THE MAGIC OF CHRISTMAS!!! I created a shaker box on the front of the card and filled it with glitter, some silver stars (to match the paper I used as a background) and some little beads. A really good tip is to gave that hard plastic you get on packages (like at costco LOL) and use that to make the front of the shaker card.  On the inside I used one the new sentiment stamps! It is a great versatile set!

We want EVERYONE to be able to play along so your submission can use ANY stamp and can be any theme, any style, any design and it can be a card, a scrapbook page, an altered item....you name it!! It must be a NEW creation and you can enter on this post until September 29th at midnight!

In addition to the great Krafty Challenges & Wonderful Wednesday, each month we will post a Sketch. The sketch will last all month long and if you use it in ANY of our Challenges or WW's during that month you will get an additional chance to win a store gift card! You do NOT have to use the sketch, it's just a little extra boost for your mojo if ya need it!

Kraftin' Kimmie Scrap Challenge

Happy Tuesday Everyone!!!

Welcome back for another month of Krafty Scrappin!!! For this challenge you can create ANYthing your little heart desires as long as it's NOT a card!!! Calendars, bookmarks, pocket pages, traditional scrap pages... Come play along with us each month and let's get some of those photo's out of boxes and on to something creative and fun!! You will have a whole month to play along and you can play as many times as you like! 

 THIS MONTH'S THEME: HOLIDAYS!!

For my Project Life spread following the Holidays theme, I choose to do when my family and my cousins got together to watch my cousin in Disney on Ice!!! It was "Magic" LOL
 

I choose to incorporate Tinkerbell because he played Terrence the fairy in the show. It was pretty cool getting to watch him at work and skating with Tinkerbell. 

I also used the "smile" and "date" stamps from our awesome set called SCRAPBOOK ESSENTIALS.

And here are a few things to remember...

1. Create ANY scrap page, Project Life Layout or pocket page cards, altered item, etc. JUST NOT A CARD!
2. MUST use Kraftin Kimmie stamps to be entered in to the drawing.
3. You have a month to play, enter AS MANY TIMES as you'd like!
4. PRIZES?!? Of course there are prizes!! Once we've reached 5 entires, we draw a random winner!!

September Krafty Peeks - Day One!

 
It's here! It's HERE!

It's Day ONE of our September Krafty Peeks for the NEW Release at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps! And today we are introducing you to our NEW CLEAR STAMPS!!

Kim's little company that could has been chugging along for almost 6 years now and recently she decided that it was time for a change! Not only is there gorgeous new professional packaging for the new stamps but.....all the NEW stamps will be CLEAR!!! All of us Krafty Girls, myself included, are so blessed to be able to join Kim in this endeavor with Kim!!!

Not to worry, you'll still be able to get all of our hundreds of previously released stamps as rubber but going forward, the new goodies will be made of the highest quality of photopolymer! We've been keeping this news a secret for months but we've been playing with the new stamps, testing them out and having a blast!! We couldn't be happier with the quality and beautiful stamped images we've gotten and we know you'll love them too!

Today we are kicking off the new release, which just happens to be our HOLIDAY release, with a GORGEOUS new set of sentiments by artist, Becky Pearce! It's called THE MAGIC OF CHRISTMAS and not only are the words so beautiful but the combination of different fonts is sure to make your holiday cards stand out!

The set features EIGHT amazing sentiments that can be used as the focal point of your creations or they can be an addition to another image and also for the insides of your holiday cards!

If you didn't see my tutes this past monday with the watercolor/salt technique you should definitely check it out. I used this technique behind my embossed image on my card. It is so fun to play with this technique and creates a really neat background.On my card though I did emboss the sentiment first on the watercolor paper before I started the technique.

I wanted the focal point to really stand out so I made my card an easel card. For the paper I used Candy Cane Lane by Bo Bunny. The wood veneer is by Studio Calico.

You'll see the new stamps in action and featured in today's blog hop with the Krafty Girl Design Team!! Below you will find links to the blogs of all the Krafty Girls who have goodies to show you today and while you're visiting their blogs, be sure to leave some love at each stop because one lucky stamper from all the comments this week is going to WIN some $$ to the Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps Shop!!
