Wonderful Wednesdays at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps!

Would you like MORE chances to win our awesome Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps? We've created a fun new SHARE to WIN promotion called WONDERFUL WEDNESDAYS!!! Wanna play? Welcome to our last Wonderful Wednesday challenge for November!!

Each Wednesday (except on release preview weeks) we are posting some creations by our fabulous Krafty Girls and we're asking YOU to share your Kraftin' Kimmie kreations for a chance to WIN!! There are three chances to enter for each month of Wonderful Wednesdays...... but this is the last one for November!! And as always....it's ANYTHING GOES!!

Your submission must use at least one Kraftin' Kimmie Stamp but can be any theme, any style, any design and it can be a card, a scrapbook page, an altered item....you name it!! It must be a NEW creation (so you can't submit something you made last year...haha!) and you can enter every week for a chance to win and at the end of the month, we'll draw a winner for a Kraftin' Kimmie Prize Pack!!! What do you think.....wanna WIN??

**Please note that you are more than welcome to combine this Share to Win challenge with other challenges, BUT not our regular weekly challenges. This must be a new and different creation than anything you create for our Saturday challenges.


I made a little 4x4 note card for my Wonderful Wednesday project featuring one of the adorable penguins from the Just Chillin'! set. This set includes several penguin images along with several coordinating sentiments. They're perfect for cards, tags, scrapbook pages, gift packaging...so many great possibilities! The paper is some old My Mind's Eye. I added a Maya Road chipboard snowflake that was painted white and then coated with Glamour Dust. The "snow" in the image is Polar White Flower Soft. To finish it off, I added a bit of baker's twine and some dollar store jingle bells. 


Penguin: W3, W5, W7 Belly: W00, E40, E43 Feet: YR04, YR07, E08 Scarf: G82, G85, G99, W7  Hat and gift ribbon: R22, R27, R46, R59, W7, E40, E43, W00  Gift: BG72, BG74, W7  Sky: B000, BG70

Love Birds and Sew In Love

Welcome back to day THREE of our NOVEMBER Kraftin' Kimmie Peeks!!! Today we are sharing THREE super cute new sets! SO much krafty goodness to show you today! They are called.......LOVE IS IN THE AIR!, LOVE BIRDS! and SEW IN LOVE!

Would you like to know who won the new stamp sets that we previewed yesterday???!! Well, you'll just have to wait until Saturday night at this month's ONLINE RELEASE PARTY!!! Hope you can join us for all the fun and excitement and prizes!!! We'll be releasing all the new stamps you've seen this week PLUS our fabulous new NOVEMBER Kardmaking Kit!! You can read all the details about how you can join us RIGHT HERE!

First of all, I need to apologize for posting a sub-standard photo. I was unable to use a proper camera before this post was due to go live, so I had to resort to using my phone...I'll update with a much nicer photo later. The pinks really do match MUCH better in real life and the coloured images are rather washed out. I really need to install an editing program on my phone. :S  My card features stamps from two of the sets we're previewing today. The main image of the bird on the branch is from Love Birds. I also used one of the hearts from the Sew In Love set...it actually has text in the centre of the heart, but I selectively inked only the decorative border and stamped that on the music note design paper. Oh, the papers are all from Bo Bunny Love Letters (the papers included in the November Krafty Kardmaking Kit!). The sweet pair of lovebirds is also from the Sew In Love set. 




All the Krafty Girls listed below have lots of super FUN designs to show you featuring these ADORABLE new sets, so be sure to hop over to each of them! And while you're there, be sure to leave a comment because we are giving away one of EACH of the new sets!!! YOU could WIN one!! {All of this week's winners will be announced at the online party on Saturday night!}

ALL the new stamps will be available on Saturday night at the KKStamps Shop!!

Once again, I'm giving a little advanced sneak peek of another new set we're officially unveiling this week, Sew in Love...that little button is a stamp from that set. You're going to LOVE it when you see it! I added Glossy Accents to the bubbles and the button.

November Krafty Kardmaking Kits!!

We're kicking off the November Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps Release with our brand NEW NOVEMBER Love Letters Krafty Kardmaking Kit

Kimmie has designed a Krafty Kardmaking Kit with everything you need to make SIX awesome cards AND have some goodies leftover to whip up some extras! Included in the kit are coordinated patterned papers, cardstocks, envelopes, sweet heart shaped doilies and several different types of embellishments including adhesive pearls and heart charms. With the November kit, you’ll also receive YOUR CHOICE of one of our gorgeous $8 stamps!! 

Here's a breakdown of the contents of this month's kit:

- Six 6x6 black cardstock bases (precut and prescored) featuring Bazzill cardstock
- Six 6.5 x 6.5 square white envelopes
- Twelve 6x6 patterned papers – 2 of each of 6 different designs featuring the Love Letters collection by Bo Bunny!

- 3 yds of May Arts red wrinkled seam binding ribbon
- 3 yds of white lace trim
- 6 sweet heart shaped doilies
- 1 pkg of pink adhesive pearls and several heart shaped charms!
- YOUR CHOICE of any $8 stamp from ANY of our lines of stamps....including the new ones!!

Additionally, our Krafty Girl design team has taken ONLY what's found in this kit (plus their own white cardstock, ink and colouring medium) and created SIX amazing card samples for you (you'll get to see them all as you hop around the links at the bottom of this post)!!! With this kit you'll receive a gorgeous colour handout, emailed directly to you, featuring pictures of the six cards PLUS some extras and the sketches to go with each creation!! It couldn't be any easier!!

Your Krafty Kit will be shipped in a sturdy box so that your goodies are nice and safe!! The VALUE of each kit is over $32 but our price this month is $25!! Shipping in Canada and the US is $12 PLUS when you order the kit, we are offering FREE additional shipping on anything else in the shop that you order at the same time! So go ahead and load up with paper pads, ezmount, more stamps etc. because the shipping is covered! All your goodies will be shipped together in a box for only $12. (International customers please email me directly to go over your options for the kits!)

And this fantastic kit will be released on Saturday night at our LIVE online release party starting at 6:30pm EST on our facebook page, along with all of our new stamps being previewed this week!! We hope you'll join us for all the fun!

As mentioned earlier, six of us Krafty Girls divided one of the November kits up to give you an idea of what all can be made from just one kit! My sample features the gorgeous Rose...if you fancy her, you could choose her as your $8.00 stamp to be included with your kit!  I trimmed by black card base down from 6"x6" to 5"x5" so that I could use those scraps for some die cut embellishments. The decorative black border was cut with Spellbinders Parisian Accents and the flourishes are an MFT Die...I just cut out select curls from the flourish die as my cardstock strip was skinny. The lace surrounding the image is included in the kit. I cut a larger oval out of pink cardstock for matting the image. However, in order for the lace to be more visible, I coloured the pink cardstock with a black marker...an easy way to create your own black cardstock where needed. ;)  The little metal charm part of the kit. OH! I've include a SNEAK PEAK of a set we'll be unveiling over the next few days called Sew In Love! See that teal button?? That's actually a stamp from this fabulous new set. I stamped it on patterned paper, added a bit of shading, used a white gel pen on the stitching and then covered the button with Glossy Accents. You're going to LOVE the Sew In Love set when it's revealed during previews this week! I sponged around the image with Antique Linen and Spun Sugar Distress Inks. I also used Black Soot Distress Ink on all paper edges and used my scissor edge to distress the paper.




Here's a picture of the kit in it's entirety: 




Ok, here's the list of all the Krafty Girls sharing projects created with the materials from just one kit:
