Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps Year in Rewind

Today at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps we are doing something special! We have been reviewing all the awesome sets we have released over the past year and have been showing some of our favorites. The major change Kraftin' Kimmie saw in 2015 was that we went all Klear!!! I am so lucky to be on the design team this year and got to play with these new sets. Can I just tell you how much I LOVE the klear sets!!! They are fantastic!!!

I have been so blessed to be apart of this awesome design team for a little over a year now and have made a wonderful set of new friends. I have also met a lot a great new friends though the Facebook Group!!! I really love going on there and seeing all the awesome work you are doing with the stamps!

I choose two favorites to show you today in our Year in Rewind! The first is Holiday Style!! Which in our awesome sale is currently 20% off! What awesome savings! I love Annie's girls and knew as soon as I saw them I needed to use them on this card. 

For my second choice of my favorite I picked No Peeking!!! This was the stamp that came with the Christmas card kit! This stamp just happens to also be 20% off too!!!

Christmas has to be my favorite time of the year. I love the feeling and the sentimentality that comes with the holiday.

Don't forget about our awesome sale that ends on December 31st. There are some great sales to be found on the website.

Can't wait to see what you create!!

It certainly has been a delicious sneek peek week hasn't it!! I knew as soon as I saw these sets that I wanted to make something very special featuring Beauty and her Beast. I started with a frame I purchased from Michaels. I covered it with paper from DCWV. I also created the balcony with the same paper. I did pop the ledge of the balcony and then put several different color and sized roses under it. I also used a sentiment from the Love Story Sentiments inside the heart.

All week long we have shared lots of LOVE-ly creations in our Krafty Peeks featuring all the new stamp sets from each of our artists for the CLEAR December Release! And they will ALL be released this afternoon after the party!! We know these stamps will inspire you to make your own lovely creations! 

We have two amazing sets from artist, Becky Pearce called LOVE CHEMISTRY and LOVE STORY SENTIMENTS! We shared a sweet set for those little stars in your life by artist, Cheryl Grant called YOU LIFT ME UP! Then there's a far out set from artist Emilie Goulet called YOU'RE NIFTY! And lastly came that beautiful couple from artist, Annie Rodrigue that we've been waiting so long for......it's BEAUTY and THE BEAST!!!

You will get to see ALL of the new images today as you sit back and enjoy our December Krafty Hop! Be sure to join us this afternoon at our LIVE ONLINE RELEASE PARTY!!! The festivities begin at 2pm EST with lots of fun, inspiration and prizes! Then ALL the NEW clear stamp sets will be released about 3pm EST at the Kraftin’Kimmie shop!

12 Days of Krafty Handmade Giving!

Happy Sunday Everyone!!!!

Alexis here with Day 6 of the Krafty Handmade Giving!!! Hope you have been enjoying the fantastic ideas all the girls have shown you so far! Are you excited to see what's coming??? I know I am!

Don't forget that each day from December 1-12th we will be sharing lots of handmade goodies here on the blog featuring Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps! We know that you're always looking for fun things to create besides cards but especially at this time of year! So we've got lots of amazing and creative things to share from tags, to notepads, to holiday decor so be sure to pop by every day!!

Today I am sharing with you an ornament I made that is going on my tree. It is one of my favorite activities of the season! I love decorating with handmade items or things I have created. Do you?

To make my ornament I bought an ornament from michaels that came in two pieces and would fit together when assembled.

I then stamped my image in Stazon on watercolor paper. For the image I choose to use Snow Buddies. I then colored it up using my pencil watercolors. I stickled the snowballs.

I inked the backside of the paper once dried. I had some scraps I used to make the flags behind the sentiment. I adhered those over a piece of long twine to inked paper colour and using Christmas Cheer stamped and adhered my sentiment.

Lastly I filled half the ornament with different styles of glitter. I laid the twine over the ornament placing where i wanted the image in the center of the circle and then put the other half on. To hold the twine in place i did put a bit of E6000 jewelry glue but any glue that dries clear should work.

Below is the finished product on my tree!!!

 Thanks for coming by to see my ornament!!! Come back tomorrow for another awesome idea!

Today's challenge comes from Kelli who wants us to do a winter themed birthday card!!! How awesome is this!!! I love receiving birthday cards however my birthday is 9 days after christmas and I also share it with my sister (2 years younger) so it often gets lumped into the holidays. We are cool with that though so much to be thankful for! 

On my card I used the awesome new clear stamp set Holiday Style! Doesn't it look like she could be singing Happy Birthday to someone??? On the inside I used Make a Wish, one of the sentiment sets by Becky.
