Krafty Komeback

There's so much going on this weekend at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps and we can't wait to share it all with YOU!

As you know, lots of our rubber stamp sets have long retired and are not available for purchase anymore. Well, we've decided to switch some things up and rerelease a few of your faves in clear! And today we're announcing the first one!

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!!!

It's COFFEE & FRIENDS!!

You might remember this set from a few years ago with these two fabulous friends, sisters, mother/daughter having a chat over some rather large mugs of a hot beverage! I've also changed up the sentiments and you may recognize some a couple of them from GG! The set is NOW available in the shop!

The Krafty Krew design team members listed below have new samples to share with you featuring the Coffee & Friends stamp set! Be sure to hop around and check it out in action!

WOW!!! Can you believe it is Wednesday already and so close to December...YIKES!!!!

How did you all enjoy the release last week? Aren't the stamps fantastic!!! I wanted to play with Annie's Betsy Booklover today. I choose to do more muted colors and used a line by Carta Bella called Old World Travel. This line really does remind me of old books with the antique look of the papers. I brightened it up with some teal, twine and pearls.

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.

Be sure to join us at the LIVE Online Release Party on Sunday 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!
