Spooktacular Saturday Challenge

Well, well, well....I'm still here. Yes, I go on long breaks some times, and I shouldn't do that. But hey, I'm human, and my migraines are definitely female in nature. They are grumpy, and moody, and they don't care what I want, or what I have to do....they just attack whenever they want. 

Anywho, it's Saturday, so it is time for another challenge at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps!  This week's challenge is to make a card using CIRCLES. I decided to go all out with the circle theme, and made a circle card!! I also used circle panels of my yummy American Crafts Pebbles BOO paper, and even some polka dots!!

I am also not ready to move on to Christmas, so I used the super cute You're a Scream set!! I had purchased some ADORABLE buttons from the Kraftin' Kimmie Store, and I had to use them, too!! Bats, Spiders, Glittery Skulls...OH MY!!

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!!

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.

If you want to play along you just upload your design using the InLinkz on the TCP blog. If you want to display your pretties on Splitcoaststampers use keyword TCPTUES298. Only the entries uploaded to the Inlinkz button will be considered for Swanky Stamper at the end of the month.

You must have your project posted by the Monday, 12 midnight EDT before the next challenge to be eligible to win the Cat Cash.

Cards and projects are not required the use of a Cat’s Pajamas Stamp or CutUps die.

On the following TCP Tuesday, the winner will be chosen at random from the previous challenge and will receive a Cat Cash Voucher for $10 or $15 if a TCP product is used.

At the end of the month, The Swanky Stamper will be selected from all the weekly entries. The Swanky Stamper will receive some of the stamps from our next release and get to play along with us at our Pajamas Party and Blog Hop. AND… They’ll even get a special spot in the Gallery highlighting the project that won them the gig and a snazzy badge to display on their blog. The Swanky Stamper will be announced the First Monday of the month on our Facebook page and The Cat's Pajamas' Blog.

The Swanky Stamper will be announced the First Monday of the month on our Facebook page and the Cat's Pajamas' Blog.
