October Release Day Four - Heavenly Holiday

Have you been loving the release so far?? Well, we're only half way done! There's more to come!

Welcome to Day FOUR of our October Krafty Peeks at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps!

Today we have a joyful new stamp set to share with you! It features two main angel images plus five coordinating sentiments!

It's by artist Emilie Goulet and is called HEAVENLY HOLIDAY! Are these girls not the sweetest!

On my card I did the no lines technique using both girls. On the background I used Distress Inks and then used frantange to mimic snow.

I also did a vintage look and inked all the edges with more distress ink. The paper I used is an older line from Kaisercraft (Twigs & Berry). I also used some ribbon, jewels, flowers (wild orchid crafts), and some pearl sprays.

Be sure to join us at the LIVE Online Release Party on Saturday night at 2pm EST! We'll be checking out ALL the NINE new clear stamp sets, sharing fabulous creations, giving away prizes and having tons of merry fun!

Have you not just loved the release so far!!! I was super excited to play with Lucas from this set. Doesn't he kind of remind you of National Lampoons Christmas Vacation when Clark Griswold goes down the hill on that big silver dish. OMG now I am totally chuckling!!

October Release Day Two - Christmas Blessings Sentiments

Hello and welcome back to Day TWO of our October Krafty Peeks at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps!

Did you LOVE yesterday's nativity set called Christmas Blessings? Well today we are back with a coordinating set called CHRISTMAS BLESSINGS SENTIMENTS!

This gorgeous set is filled with spiritual sentiments in gorgeous fonts and can be used on their own as the focal point of your creations or in combination with any image! The set contains EIGHT stunning sentiments!

Don't you just love this time of year!!! I went with a very Clean and Simple layout for my card. Normally I do enjoy lots of layers but this was really quick to do. I used a sheet of paper from My Minds Eye (Sugar Plum) that came with the town design already on it. I used some glitter tape and one of the MME glitter stars. I combined this with some cardstock and my sentiment and Voila! my card was done!

I love making really quick cards this time of year to send out to friends and family. 

You'll see the new stamps in action and featured in today's blog hop with the Krafty Girls and Guest!! Their links are below and be sure to leave some love at each stop because one lucky stamper from all the comments this week is going to WIN a gift voucher to go shoppin'!

ALL of our new October stamps will be available on Saturday afternoon at the Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps Shop!!! Be sure to join us for an hour of celebrating the new stamp sets, fun and prizes on Sunday at 2pm EST at our LIVE ONLINE RELEASE PARTY!!

Come hang out with the Krafty Girls, Kimmie, and me!! Can't wait to party with you!

October Release Day One - Christmas Blessings

Welcome to Day ONE of our October Krafty Peeks at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps!

We're thrilled that you're with us today and be sure to pop back in each day this week because we have SIX brand new clear stamp sets to share with you and they'll ALL be released on Saturday! Woo Hoo!!!!

We are kicking things off with a beautiful new nativity set by artist Becky Pearce! It's called CHRISTMAS BLESSINGS!

This sweet 4x6 clear stamp set features Mary, Joseph, baby Jesus and a little shepherd! Plus adorable animals, accessory stamps, sentiments and more with a total of SIXTEEN stamps for an endless combination of design possibilities!

Becky sure did make a cute nativity set and I was super excited to create with it. I wanted to make a stable scene so I cut out the stable using my Silhouette. I inked all the edges so it would pop out from the background paper. I also went with a more neutral paper scheme for this card.

I used paper from Maja Designs (Home of the Holidays), glitter tape and some blue jewels on the inside of the card. On the left is the inside of this card with a little camel ;)

I just love the cute animals you also get in the set, not to mention the great sentiments!!!

 Be sure to join us at the LIVE Online Release Party on Saturday afternoon at 2pm EST! We'll be checking out ALL the SIX new clear stamp sets, sharing fabulous creations, giving away prizes and having tons of krafty fun!



All the Krafty Girls and Guest listed below have lots of cheerful designs to share with you today featuring the CHRISTMAS BLESSINGS stamp set!

Saturday Challenge - Holiday Card

Happy Saturday Everyone!!!! 

Are you excited for another Saturday challenge???? 

Today my challenge to you is to create a Holiday Card - it can be any holiday card you want!

For my Holiday I choose to do a Christmas card featuring the new SANTA PAWS!!! 

For the paper I used the pad that came with the limited edition Christmas kit that was released. I love the fact that these are non-traditional colors.

Shh....don't tell kimmie but this has to be my FAV stamp set so far out of ALL the clear ones!!!!
