Kraftin' Kimmie Peeks Begin....and It's Clearly Awesome!

It's here!  It's HERE!  It's Day ONE of our Sepember Krafty Peeks for the NEW Release at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps!  And today we are introducing you to our NEW CLEAR STAMPS!!

Our 'little company that could' has been chugging along for almost 6 years now and recently we decided that it was time for a change!  Not only do we have gorgeous new professional packaging for the new stamps but.....all the NEW stamps will be CLEAR!!!

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!

See? It's as easy as that to take this wonderful set and make a card....this card only took a few minutes to put together, and you instantly have a fun Christmas creation!

I even used the Story of Christmas paper pad from Echo Park, which you can procure from the Kraftin' Kimmie Store as well!!!

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!

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

TCP Tuesday 298-Hello There!

It's Tuesday,  so of COURSE I had to get out my stamps and CutUps from The Cat's Pajamas so I could play along with the TCP Tuesday challenge!! This week's challenge is a new one, and we have your favorite challenge.....it's ANYTHING GOES!!

I decided to pair a couple of sets and a few CutUps to create this colorful, fun card. It was super fun, and quick to make, too! I used MFT cardstock in Lemon Drop, Orange Fizz, and Sour Apple, and my buttons/ribbons are from there in those colors as well. I used the Shake, Rattle & Roll set for my cutesy little bunny, and paired it with a sentiment from the Simply Stacked Sentiments set. It was stamped on the Luggage Tags CutUps. I used my favorite CutUps, the Stitched Clouds, and used the Inside Pinking CutUps along the bottom...then mostly covered it up...but you can kinda see it. 

Here are the TCP products I have used:

Every other Tuesday a new challenge will be posted on The Cat's Pajama's Blog as well as on our Facebook page.

Kraftin' Kimmie Saturday Challegne-Fall

Hey there stampers, and welcome to this week's Saturday challenge with Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps!! This week's challenge is Fall...which I am really really REALLY ready for!

I paired it with some wood buttons from Oriental Trading Company, hemp cord from MFT, some spiral clips and brads, and paper from Simple Stories.

Seas the Inspirational Birthday

This past week we posted the Inspiration Challenge for our two week Tuesday Challenge at The Cat's Pajamas. Our challenge this time is a super fun Inspiration Challenge, which I have included the graphic for below. I loved the fun colors, and the beach theme, and that's what I went with.

I used the super cute new Seas The Birthday set from The Cat's Pajamas for my card. Lots of buttons were used, not only because I love them, but they make me think of water bubbles...and that's just fun, lol!

Here is the inspiration photo:

I'm Krafty and I Know It-Saturday Challenge

Hey there friends, family, stampers, krafters, and lonely wanderers of the interwebs, welcome to my blog! It's time for another Saturday challenge from Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps!  I haven't posted much lately, and I would say I was sorry, but I haven't felt well, so I have just been laying low, and feeling sorry for myself. That always makes us feel better, right? Wrong, it doesn't. Don't agree with me, it's awful. I'm my own worst enemy sometimes, but you know what...every day is a new battle, and new day to prove that I am stronger than I was yesterday because I DID get up, and try again. It may not be pretty, but I did it.

Anywho, enough of the Dr. Phil stuff.....I am here with my challenge card....cue the triumphant horns, and angels singing.....

Our theme is buttons and bows....ok, force me to use buttons and ribbon. I concede, stop twisting my arm. (You'd think I'd paid them to make this challenge just for me, VICTORY IS MINE). I used some MME Halloween paper, again, because, well....I haz new Halloween stamps and I like that creepy, awesome holiday. My sentiment is from Becky's fantabulous Spool-tacular Sentiments set. Oh, and I used some buttons...and made a bow....and threw in some googly eyes so it could see where it was going.


So, here's all the going's on, and need to know stuff....cause you need to know, right??!!

We always enjoy your creations so be sure to submit them so you can have a chance to WIN a $20 gift card to the Shop!! Show us your stuff!! In keeping in line with the rest of our challenges (Wonderful Wednesday and our NEW Krafty Scrappy Challenge), we will be drawing one winner per month from all Saturday Challenge entries to win a $20 gift card!! You can enter as many times per month as you'd like!!

Have you joined the Kraftin Kimmie's Krafty Friends fb group??  It's the best place to keep up with all of the goings on as well as sharing YOUR creations and getting inspired by other Krafty Friends' creations!!! I hang out here sometimes, it's fun, you'll like it....join us.....you know you wanna....

Frugal Friday specials are up NOW! Also, I believe there are still some Halloween Kard kits available but you'd better get them quick because when they're gone, they are GONE!

Now create a card, scrapbook page or altered item with a Kraftin' Kimmie Stamp or any other stamp and be sure to use our THEME as a starting point for your creation!!!  You will have until August 28th at 11:55 pm EST to get your entries in!

Pull out those fabby stamps and play along!  Have some krafty fun and join us this week!! 

Well, stampers, that is it for me for now....have fun out there, and don't do anything I wouldn't do....which leaves the world as your oyster pretty much....except for bungee jumping, that's just crazy.

Wonderful Wednesday-Black Cats

Hey there Krafty Peeps, I am this week's hostess for the Wonderful Wednesday Challenge over at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps, and as always, it is a ANYTHING GOES challenge!! We want to see you playing along, so be sure to check out the KKS blog for all the details and to get entered!!

For my card, I used the super fun new Spook-Tacular Sentiments set that was just recently released. It is so much fun, and with my love for all things Halloween, well...I just can't resist it!! I used some yummy MME paper, and paired it with a few MFT die-namics. My paper is also from MFT, and I used black twine, Black May Arts ruffled ribbon, and instead of brads.....GOOOOOOOGLIE EYES.

Yeah, I'd get used to seeing them if I were you.

Well, that is it for me for now...so go to the KKS blog to see the rules and play along, and have a Stampy Day!!
