We at KKS, along with many others, are huge fans of Gilmore Girls! And to celebrate the revival coming out this weekend we're giving one of our awesome coffee stamp sets a Krafty Komeback!!!

November Release Day One - Eskimo Pals

Welcome to the November Release at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps!

This is our last release for 2017 and we can't wait to share it all!!

Today we're kicking things off with a super sweet set of characters from artist Emilie Goulet! It's called ESKIMO PALS!!!

It features two main images of adorable eskimos having some fun in the snowy tundra! It also comes with three COOL sentiments!

Brrrrrrr.....it's getting pretty cold outside now isn't it. Wouldn't you like one of these warm jackets the kids are wearing LOL.

I used the little girl and her polar bear friend. I wanted to do something non traditional so I used a colorful line of paper from Doodlebug called Frosty Friends. I used liquid applique on her jacket to create the fluffy look. I also inked the sky behind her with Tim Holtz distress ink and added the snow with a white pen. I also added some flowers, glitter tape and enamel dots to finish off the card.
