Kraftin' Kimmie Stamp May Release Hop!

Welcome to the KRAFTIN' KIMMIE STAMPS May release blog hop. Let's get comfy, grab your favourite drink and enjoy the hop.

Today on the hop you will see amazing Krafty Creations featuring all of the stamps from this month's release. We started off the previews with the whimsical Moonlight Whispers set called CHASE YOUR DREAMS.

With mother's day past we start looking ahead to June and Father's Day. The WILD & CRAZY GUYS will be a must have for many of those special men in your life.

Our next set is tiny, but is makes such a BIG impact on your crafty creations. The ITTY BITTY FRIENDS includes seven cute Moonlight Whispers images in miniature form (approximately 1.5 inches). The tiny images are great for tags, small note cards and other fun projects.

Finally we have our HAPPILY EVER AFTER stamp set for those weddings and bridal showers that will soon be filling up your calendar. It is wedding season!

Yesterday, I shared my decorate box (Boitatou) using Lexi and Lucas from the HAPPILY EVER AFTER stamp set. Today I have the card that will go inside the box.

This box is great for those square cards with lots of layers and embellishments.

Here is a look at my card featuring sweet Lulu the Flower Girl. The paper is from Lilybee Designs Buttercup collection.

Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps January Release Blog Hop

Welcome back for our KRAFTIN' KIMMIE STAMPS January release BLOG HOP!

Today the Krafty Girls and our AMAZING guests are here to share some inspiration with all of the fabulous stamps we have been previewing over the last weeks. This month's release is truly BEAUTIFUL so I hope you enjoy today's hop!

This week we started off the release and welcomed back the talented Emilie Goulet with her preview set YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL.

Next I am sure you were ALL STEAMED UP for the newest Moonlight Whispers sets from Annie. This steampunk inspired set will surely get your creativity in gear!

Then we previewed a cute set from Cheryl Grant featuring those sweet kids Lulu, Lexi and Lucas. IT'S A BEAUTIFUL DAY is sweet and will be the highlight of many cards.

Finally, we added a second SENTIMENT set from our new (stamp) designer Becky. The WORDS OF INSPIRATION are just that, truly inspirational. The large size sentiments are great on their own or complement so many of the Kraftin' Kimmie images.

For my card today I used sweet Lulu from IT'S A BEAUTIFUL DAY and combined this with a sentiment from WORDS OF INSPIRATION. I had a couple CAS cards to show off this week, so it was time to go back to my layers, distressing and embellishments.

I used paper from Simple Stories Homespun and added a Maya Road photo frame and flowers and metal embellishments from Michaels.

Although it is hard to tell from the picture, I actually paper pieced this picture in three layers. I didn't want height so I didn't add the dimensional adhesive. The first layer is my background window frame and inside wall. The next layer is the branch and Lulu. The final layer is the cat and bird sitting on the window ledge. Just a subtle bit of depth to the picture.

A look at the inside of the card.

Now it's time for you to continue your hop to check out more amazing creations from my Krafty Peeps! Remember to leave comments are you are hopping along, because Kimmie has a $10 gift card to give away to a random Krafty Friend.

All of the stamps are now available in the Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps shop. You will find the new releases, past releases, paper, embellishments, mounting supplies. Check it out. If you love all of this month's release, Kimmie has a great Gimmie Kimmies Kit that you may want to check out.

Have a wonderful and KRAFTY day!

Kraftin' Kimmie Krafty Krop: Clean & Simple Challenge

Yesterday Kraftin' Kimmie stamps was celebrating it's fifth anniversary and World Card Making day with a on-line Krafty Krop!

All week long you have the chance to play along with six fun challenges. Create a new project to match each of the challenge themes and you may just win a gift card to the Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps shop. Check out the blog for each of the challenges, I have also linked them for you below. Let's get KRAFTY!

I am hosting the final challenge and I wanted to challenge myself with this one too. My challenge is all about going CLEAN & SIMPLE.


I love the CAS look and I really like to use it to show off a great technique or to showcase a wonderful image. I hope that you will play along and show off your CAS style. Cut back on the embellishments, show off your white space, leave off a layer (or two) and show us that less really is more.

For my card today I am using the oh so cute Miss Lulu from Halloween Lulu!

Little Lulu in her ladybug costume is coloured with Copic markers. I added a bit of glitter to the dots of her costume using my liquid glue (Zig two-way glue pen) and micro fine glitter (Glitter Ritz)

On most of my layered cards I will often use three or four different pattern papers. A CAS card is a great way to dip into your scrap pile as you need little to none on your card. I used Doodlebugs Ghouls and Goodies 6x6 paper.

Inside the card we see Frankenlulu and one of the fun sentiments along with the sweet Doodle Sprinkles shapes.

Join us this week at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps for all of our fun challenges. You have until midnight on Sunday October 12th to enter the six challenges. Although we would love to see you create a project using a Kraftin' Kimmie image, we would want to see everyone play along, so any image will work as long as the project is new and follows the challenge theme.

Krafty Krop Challenges:
#1 BINGO
#2 Fall into Fall
#3 Christmas
#4 Pretty in Pink
#5 Halloween
# 6 Clean and Simple

Thanks for stopping in and please come back soon.

Our favourite little darlings Lulu, Lexi and Lucas are simply DINO-mite in the new CAVE KIDS set.  I used the ever fabulous Miss Lulu on my card.

This lil' prehistoric cutie Lulu is styling in her fur dress. The effect was created using pink and blue Sparkly Fluff. I stamped the image twice and applied liquid glue (Zig two way glue) first to the spots applying the blue fluff, then the rest of the dress with the pink fluff. I then paper pieced the dress onto my Copic coloured image.

On the inside, I used a few scraps of my pattern paper (Bo Bunny Modern Miss and Pink Paislee Pen Pals) and added Lucus, the cute dino and two of the sets sentiments.
