EVERY Single card/project along the blogs for boobies bounce is up for auction. We recommend a starting bid of $5 or more. Your *Bid not only includes the card or project but shipping to your home as well.

3. You can help by Telling Your Friends

Help us spread the word about "blogs 4 boobies" the more people that know, the more money we can raise!!!

How to place a bid on my card/project

Step #1

* Please note that the participating stampers/bloggers will probably re-post their Blogs 4 Boobies card/project on the during the week of bidding in June. When the blogger re-post their project then the bidding will continue on the NEWEST post and that comment section.

"What do I do once I place a bid"

Watch and Wait

Please note that ALL cards/projects WILL BE REPOSTED seven days after their initial post.

Things to keep in mind:

Near the end of the bidding you may not see bids as they come in. Most blog have a comment feature where the blogger must approve comments before they are published. So bid high. You might have the highest bid

Ok, now, you want to see what you will be bidding on?

I made a set of 4 cards that you can bid on today, and remember, the bids start at $5....but really, you know this is worth WAY MORE!! This set is called Sassy Cats, and is quite frankly, hilarious!

I've used the two main cat images twice, with different coloring. For both of the cards with the cat showing it's butt, the inside has a sentiment included. For the inside of the forward facing sassy cat, the inside is blank. 

So, now you need to go see what everyone else has made, but make sure to help us out with this great cause by bidding, spreading the word, and shopping!!

Thanks so much for your support, and have a great day!!

You're So Sweet

Another card I found when I was cleaning up my uploads was this super fun one using my Messy Hair Ellie set from the Paper Nest Dolls!!

Ellie was colored with Copics, then paired with some fun Simple Stories I Am paper. I used Bazzill Banana Split, MFT Black Licorice, MFT Bubblegum, and MFT Berrylicious cardstock. To make my card pretty, and more me...well, I used brads, spiral clips, black twine, Black ruffled ribbon, and MFT buttons in Berrylicious, Black Licorice, Sweet Tooth, Banana Split, and Bubblegum.

Well, that is it for me for now! Thanks for stopping by and taking a peek at my stuff! Have a great day!

Take It Easy....or you might drop your ice cream....

Hey there stampers, hope you are having a great holiday weekend!! It's my turn to post on the Paper Nest Dolls Challenge blog, so I wanted to share my creation with you here, as well!

It may not be warm enough for bikini's in some parts of the world, but it's always the right weather for ice cream, in my opinion, so I couldn't help but break out the new Ice Cream Ellie image to play with today!!

I paired her with some super cute Doodlebug paper, and used several buttons, and matching cardstock from MFT. I used a sentiment from a Kraftin' Kimmie set, and held it in place with a spiral clip, and threw the whole thing together with some brads, and some fun ruffled purple ribbon.

Well, that is is for me for now! Thanks for stopping by and checking out my work, and have a great day!!

Sending You Hugs

Hey y'all!! Hope you are having a great weekend! Today I have a card I made for the Cat's Pajamas Tuesday challenge, and our current challenge is to make a BRIGHT card, which I almost ALWAYS do, so this was an easy one for me!!

I used the SUPER cute new Sending You set, and paired it with some Anchors Aweigh paper from Doodlebug. I then used buttons and cardstock from MFT in Orange Fizz and Gumdrop Green, some Sweet Tooth buttons from MFT, a misc. yellow button, and my other cardstock color is Ballet Blue from SU. 

Here is a peek at the entire set!

Sweet Summer Time....Thanks, I think....

Hi everyone! Welcome to another challenge at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps!

This week's challenge is a fun SUMMER challenge, and since the worst season of the year is quickly approaching, well, why don't we make cards to celebrate it? Yes, I said worst. I hate to be hot....ugh.

For my card today, I used the super fun Sweet Summer Sentiments set from Becky's collection of stamps. It was paired with some fun Kaiser Craft Summer paper.

My card is also for this week's Crazy 4 Challenges challenge, to make a thank you card for a teacher. I thought to myself, "self, there's no better way to say thank you to a teacher than to give them a summer themed card, and maybe put a nice gift card, or a gift certificate in it." And since I'm always right, I made it so.

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!!

Born To Rock-Fashion Doll Style

Some how, I made cards....and I did not post them on my blog....how did this insanity happen???

Especially when they involve some super cute Paper Nest Dolls LOVE!!

This is a card I made using the super cute Fashion Dolls: Punk image. She was paired with some fun paper from The MME Lime Twist line, and colored in bright, fun colors. I used Orange Fizz, Blu Raspberry, and Sour Apple from MFT for my cardstock, and button. The grosgrain ribbon I used is Orange Grosgrain from MFT, too. I also used spiral clips, and brads...oh and twine, because that's what I do.

Well, that is it for me for now! Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!!

An Apple A Day....

I recently got a request from one of my very best Etsy customers to make a congratulations card for her mister for graduating from medical school.  She wanted something a bit playful, and I happened to remember having this set from Gina K Designs, so I dug him out, and got to work!

It's Dr. Feelgood people, and although he didn't come with the Apple A Day sentiment, I made one on my computer just for her. Sadly, he isn't for sale any longer, but I paired my cute doctor with the Apple Die-namics from My Favorite Things. I used some fun Circus paper from Carta Bella. My cardstock is from MFT(Wild Cherry, Sour Apple, and Black Licorice) and Bazzil(Banana Split). I used some fun May Arts V Striped Black ribbon, twine, spiral clips, and brads. If you know me at all, you know I couldn't finish a card without some buttons...all from MFT in Black Licorice, Wild Cherry, and Lemon Drop.

I already know she has received this, and she is happy with it, so I wanted to go ahead and share it. 

Plus, it's super fun...and I made it, so here it is!!

Thanks for stopping by, have a great day!!
