Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps & Little Red Wagon (You're A Star)

Welcome friends. Today I have a dual post for Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps and Little Red Wagon.

Did you know the Wonderful Wednesday at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps are ANYTHING GOES? Although we love when you use a KKS (and it doubles you chance for winning), all stamps are welcome for these challenges. Just create a NEW card, layout or altered item and share with us over at the Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps blog or in our Facebook group (here).

The challenge runs for the month and there is a new change to enter each Wednesday. At the end of the month a random winner will be chosen from the submissions and received a $20 gift card to the shop. Definitely worth playing for right?

For an added bit of inspiration and additional chance to win, we have a sketch that we would love to see you work with. This is a look at the March sketch.

This week at Little Red Wagon,

Carolyn is hosting our challenge and it's called "YOU'RE A STAR". I would quite agree, however I am not sure she was specifically directing that at me. What Carolyn would like to see is you to work a star or stars into your project. Paper, shapes, die cuts, make sure we are seeing stars.

I got all sentimental on my card using a fabulous sentiment set called "HELLO FRIEND" from Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps. I used white embossing powder to create a chalk look with the sentiment. In additional to the "Star" mentioned in my sentiment, I added 3 wooded stars.

If you are seeing stars this week, then join our challenge over at Little Red Wagon. While you are there stop over to the other Girlfriends blog to see all of the inspiration they are sharing. Did you know that we have a Little Red Wagon Facebook group (here). Check it out.

As the Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps Wonderful Wednesday challenge is anything goes, you really don't have an excuse not to play along. Check out the blog for details.

You may also want to check out the shop and see the amazing Coffee Kits that are available. They feature a fabulous stamp (exclusive to the kit) and a lot of amazing paper and fun embellishments. The kits sold out quickly last time, so be sure to check them out.

Little Red Wagon (All Tied Up)/The Paper Nest Dolls (Guest)

Hello crafty friends. I hope you are all have a wonderful week so far. Today it's time for new challenge at Little Red Wagon.

I am also super excited to be a Guest Designer at The Paper Nest Dolls again this month.

This week I am the challenge hostess at Little Red Wagon and I am getting things ALL TIED UP! That's right everyone! Grab your ribbon, thread, twine or cord and twist it, knot it or tied up all up in a nice little bow!

This month, I have been getting crafty with altered items. No, I did not make another notebook holder. Although there are more to come soon. This week I decorated a plain kraft paper bag using the sweet EGG COLORING AVERY from THE PAPER NEST DOLLS. She is so cute and makes a perfect addition to this fun Easter bag.

I kept my layers fairly simple (at least in my mind) and added a the Lovely View Die (Little Darlings), flowers (Recollections), pearls and a little pink paint brush for my embellishments. The paint brush was a last minute add to the bag. I am not sure where it came from, but discovered it in the disaster that is currently called my craft desk!

Oh and I can't forget my ribbon and bow. I always do my ribbon/bows in two stages. There is the part that I run across the paper which, on it's own lays nice and flat. Then I tie and add my bow separately with glue dots. I have a technique of tying the bow (single, double or triple) around my fingers and it works better for me,  than trying to tie everything in one piece.

Here is a closer look at the darling Avery.

If you are not too tied up with things I hope that you will join our challenge this week at Little Red Wagon. Link up your projects over on the blog and don't forget to check out what the fabulous Girlfriends have created for you this week.

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful Wednesday.

Kraftin' Kimmie Stamp Preview: Day One - Elisha the Mage!

Hello Krafty Friends! Today we are kicking off with an amazing stamp release for KRAFTIN' KIMMIE STAMPS. This is DAY ONE of the March release and we are showing off some new magical and fabulous MOONLIGHT WHISPERS stamps created by Annie Rodrigue

I am exceptionally excited to share today's stamps. Not only are these stamps amazing, fun and strong female character. They are also named after my two sweet, creative and pretty fabulous daughters. Say hello to the magical ELISHA THE MAGE and fierce KIERSTEN THE KNIGHT!

My project today is featuring ELISHA THE MAGE! My Kiersten project you will see on Sunday for the March Release blog hop!

I altered a dollar store clipboard for my daughter Elisha for her to hang in her bedroom.

Here is a closer look at ELISHA THE MAGE, coloured with Copic markers.

Behind the image is a wood die cut piece (Michaels) which I painted with Tim Holtz Tarnished Brass distress paint. I added a pocket to the front for my daughter to keep notes or add a small pad of paper. The little heart vile was a great find (Michaels). I filled it with glitters and used Glossy Accents to glue the stop in place. Fingers are crossed that this holds tight!

The top of the clipboard was painted with Walnut Stain Distress Paint. I added wooden letters for her name also painted with the tarnish brass paint. I cut down some cork for her to add notes and embellished with more flowers, twine and charms.

The bottom part of the altered clipboard is a large pocket. This took a bit of trial and error to figure out, but I think my accordion fold on the pocket will work well.

Thanks for stopping by. Now it's time for you to hop along and check out all of the MAGICAL projects from the other Krafty Girls and our amazing Guests. Make sure that you leave a comment on each of the blogs as you hop. There will be one lucky winner drawn at random to WIN some KRAFTY $ to spend in the KKS store. Hop, comment and you may WIN!

All of the March release stamps will be available on Sunday after the release party!

Facebook Release Party

Join Kimmie, the Krafty Girls, Guests and our Krafty friends as we party and celebrate the March release. The party will be on the Facebook events page (here) on Sunday March 15 at 11:00 am(EST).

Have a wonderful and Krafty day!

The chalk sentiment is heat embossed with black embossing powder. The paper is distressed with Tim Holtz Vintage Photo distress ink. I created a corset look on the card with a bit of ripped paper and black paper robe (Michaels).

Here is a look at the inside of the card using a stamp from the Words of Inspiration set.

Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps - February Release Hop

Welcome back to the February new release hop for KRAFTIN' KIMMIE STAMPS.

Today the Krafty Girls and our talented guests are back to share some inspiration with all of the fabulous stamps we have been previewing over the last week. This month's release is truly magical, so I hope you enjoy today's hop.

This week we started off with a pair of book inspired stamps. If you love Lord of the Rings, these Moonlight Whisper images of GANDALF AND GALADRIEL will be a must have for your collection.

Next we continued with our book theme with a set of darling classic characters. The BOOK PALS stamp set showcases the adorable Pippi Longstocking, Laura Ingalls and Huck Finn.

Our third preview, was for the latest sentiment set from Krafty Girl Becky Piece. The HELLO FRIEND sentiment set is a great stand alone image, or perfect to complement your favourite stamps.

Our final preview was for SQUISHY FRIENDS. These sweet friendship images will complement any project for that special friend in your life.

For today's hop I decided to again step away from the card. I used the darling PIPPI LONGSTOCKING from BOOK PALS and created a notebook holder.

The base of the note holder is 1 sheet of 110lb white card stock. The base was scored at 5.25" and 5.5".

Pippi is just darling and I tried to capture her eclectic clothing and signature red hair with my Copics.

Inside the notebook holder I added a pocket with a couple of tags for notes. The notepad is from the $ store and is approximate 8x5".

I created a pocket for the notepad to fit in, so a new one can be added.

Tip:

The heart key charm on the front was silver, but the key I wanted to use was brass. The solution. I grabbed my Tim Holtz Distress Paint (Tarnished Brass) and painted the charm. The paint was a bit too bright compared to the key, so I used the walnut stain distress ink to "dirty" it up. Worked pretty well.

I hope that you didn't mind so many pictures. I have been having a lot of fun this release making other krafty paper projects with all the amazing release stamps.

Each of the Krafty Girls and our Guests are showing off the images from this release in today's hop. Leave a comment below and along a each of the blogs listed below. Kimmie will be giving away a prize of Krafty $ for the store.

Last night was the online release party, so if you haven't already had the chance, you may just want to check out the new stamps that are now available in the store.

Thanks for stopping hopping along with us today and have a super and KRAFTY day!
