Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps November Previews: Day Two - One Cup At A Time!

Hello Krafty friends! Welcome back the second day of the November release previews at at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps.

Today we are sharing a second set from artist Becky Pearce. This fun coffee theme set is called ONE CUP AT A TIME and it's a must have for your coffee lovin' stampers.

I am still holding on to the last bit of fall that I can. I used the fun take away cup, which I envision is filled with a pumpkin spiced latte and used that as inspiration for my card. I used the lovely papers from Echo Park called The Story of Fall.

There was no colouring required for this card at all. I stamped the take away cup three times on various colours of cardstock (white, dark orange and kraft) and fussy cut, then paper pieced the cup together.

On the inside of the card, I included another paper pieced cup. I don't usually leave the inside of my cards without a sentiment, however for this card I decided that it could be used for a number of occasions.

Supplies Used:
Stamps: One Cup at a Time (Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps)
Dies: Circle Die (Your Next Stamp), Scallop Circle (My Favorite Things)
Paper: Echo Park The Story of Fall
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black, Walnut Stain Distress Ink

This month we are featuring a fun and fabulous assortment, winter and Christmas stamps and dies. There is so much to see on this hop, so you may want to keep a note pad to jot down some of your favourites. I was very excited about all of the amazing Christmas stamps for this release. We have some returning favourites like Jessica, Phoebe and Sprinkles and some fun new image that I am sure you will love. Really who doesn't love a holiday Dinosaur or Moose!

For my first card I used the sweet MERRY CHRIS-MOOSE stamp. I just fell in love with this darling image and I am sure he is going to appear on a few of my Christmas card this year.

Here is a look at the inside of the card. I love the large font with this set. I love to put big sentiments on the inside of my card.

Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps November Preview: Day One - Perfect Planner

Hello Krafty friends and welcome to our first day of previews for the November release at KRAFTIN' KIMMIE STAMPS. This month we have a SUPER SIZED release so sit back and enjoy all of the fabulous previews.

Today's sweet set is called the PERFECT PLANNER and it's by the multi-talented krafty girl and artist Becky Pearce. This fun set is great for keeping your planners and calendars organized and looking pretty. 

I have a planner that I use each day, however I decided to showcase this amazing set in another way. I created a 12 x 12 calendar page that I will display in the house to keep the family organized for the month. 

I have always loved keeping a little calendar on hand. Despite having a phone that I do use for appointments and reminder, I have recently found myself relying more onto my planner to keep me organized. I feel like I remember things a lot better this way and I get to play with my craft supplies in a new way.

I created this calendar page for December and hope to create one for each month next year. In addition to the PERFECT PLANNER set, I also used the holiday sets SLEIGH MAIL and BUILD YOUR OWN TRINKET set.

I used paper from Simple Stories December Documented collection. I love the colours in this set and the stickers and various cut apart pages really allowed for some fun elements on this calendar page.

The calendar is 12 x 12 and each of the daily blocks measure 1.5 inches. I wrote out the date for each square, however you could also stamp them, if you have a small number set.

For the days of the week headings, I printed these out on the computer and then cut them down to size (1.5 x 5/8 inches).

I was able to get creative with the set too by creating my own saying. The set includes 'school' as one of your options. As the kids are off over Christmas holidays, I wanted to indicate no school. I took the 'no' from the word notes and just inked up the first two letters. I did all the no's at one time, then stamped 'school' after. Easy modification!

Supplies Used:
Stamps: Perfect Planner, Sleigh Mail and Build Your Own Trinket (Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps)
Paper: Simple Stories December Documented
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black, Tim Holtz Vintage Photo, Tattered Rose, Peeled Paint, Mowed Lawn, Dusty Concord, Salty Ocean, and Peacock Feathers Distress Ink

Now it's time for your to hop along and check out all of the fabulous projects from the rest of the Krafty Girls. Leave a comment on each of the blogs as you hop along. There will be one lucky winner selected from all of the comments this week to WIN some Krafty $ to spend in the KKS store.

Today I am excited to share a peek of one of the new stamps from the YOUR NEXT STAMP November release. The Design Team is offering some fabulous PEEKS today, so sit back and enjoy! For the full list of preview projects this months, head over to the Your Next Stamps blog.

Although I have been working on Christmas cards and projects for a month or so, since entering November, it's now time to really kick the holiday projects into gear. For today's preview, I used the super cute DINO-MITE HOLIDAY set and decorated up a kraft gift bag. The fabulous paper is from Doodlebug Frosty Friends collection.

For additional embellishments to the bag, I used a couple new die cuts from this month's release, including the WINTER MITTEN and the CHRISTMAS WORDS die sets. I also added a few flowers (Recollections) and some of the new glittered GUMDROPS.

Enjoy our little preview of the YOUR NEXT STAMP November release. Remember to check out all of the previews available from the DT. The complete list is on the YNS blog. Stamps and dies from the new release will be available tomorrow, Tuesday November 10th.

Your Next Stamp Sketch/Colour challenge # 26 (Jingle all the Way)

Welcome to our sketch and colour challenge #26 at Your Next Stamp. Each challenge includes a sketch and colour options to inspire you.

 

Create a project based on the sketch and/or the colour combination. If you are working with the colours use at least 3 of the colours and you can add only neutrals.

I am so excited to add another Christmas card to my stash. It's the one holiday that require the largest amount of cards all in one go. For this week's challenge I used the fun Santa image from the Jingle all the Way set recently release last month. 

This was such a fun sketch to play with that I didn't really change it too much. I flipped the sketch sideways and altered a few of the layers a bit. I used a smaller sentiment from the Winter Home set and stamp this on the white cardstock cut out using the Scrapwork Stripe die. To accent the trim on Santa's hat I used a little liquid glue and added white sparkling fluff.

 On the inside of the card I added the quirky reindeer from the Jingle all the Way set and included a sentiment from the Holiday Sentiment set.

For our sketch and colour challenge # 26 you have until November 12, 2015 (midnight) to play along. You can see more inspiration and link up your projects over at Your Next Stamp.

One random participant will WIN a $15 gift card to the YNS store. If you feature a YNS stamp or die (must be the main focal point) you will receive and additional $5. When you use a YNS image there is also a chance of being selected as a YNS Top Pick. That's right, bragging rights for you and a fabulous badge to show off on your blog! Sounds exciting right? Ink up your stamps and show us your crafty stuff!

Have a fabulous and crafty Friday friends!
