September Krafty Peeks - Day Two!

Hey everyone!! Welcome back to day TWO of our SEPTEMBER Kraftin' Kimmie Peeks!!! All of our brand new CLEAR stamp sets will be released on Saturday night!! Are you excited? Are you coming to the party?? Woohoo!

The super sweet stamp set that we're previewing today is from artist Cheryl Grant and it's called ANGEL VOICES!!!It features our fave kiddos, Lexi, Lulu and Lucas, plus a couple of their furry friends and they are going caroling!!! The set also include a star accessory stamp plus two sweet sentiments!

I had a lot of fun masking the images to combine ALL the kids and animals. Once I masked the images I colored everything with copic markers. To create the background  I used a combination of Tim Holtz Inks, copic markers and topped it off with Frantage and Stickles.

I hope you can join us for all the fun and excitement and prizes on Saturday night beginning at 6pm EST!! Hope you can come hang out with the me and Krafty Girls at our LIVE ONLINE RELEASE PARTY!

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!!

ALL of our CLEAR September stamps PLUS a Limited Edition Super Sized HOLIDAY Kard Kit (you can find out more on the kit event page HERE) will be available on Saturday night at the Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps Shop!!! Be sure to join us for an hour of celebrating the new stamp sets, fun and prizes on Saturday evening at our LIVE ONLINE RELEASE PARTY!! Come hang out with the Krafty Girls, Kim and me!!
