Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps Release Day...New Clear Stamps!!

Have you heard the big news?? Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps is  introducing our new CLEAR stamps this month! Oh, and there's also our Limited Edition HOLIDAY Kard Kit!!!

The September release includes a gorgeous sets of holiday sentiments from artist, Becky Pearce called THE MAGIC OF CHRISTMAS, a sweet set of carolers by artist, Cheryl Grant called ANGEL VOICES, some adorable elves by artist, Emilie Goulet called MADE BY ELVES and lastly  three new sets from artist Annie Rodrigue called HOLLY JOLLY, FROSTY FRIENDS and HOLIDAY STYLE!

You will get to see ALL of the new images today as you sit back and enjoy our September Krafty Hop! When you’re done, be sure to head over to the Kraftin’ Kimmie shop, because ALL the new CLEAR stamp sets are available!! Don't forget...if you NEED it all, we have a Gimme Kimmies Kit which features the entire September release at a discount, but only for a limited time!

My card today features one of Annie's carolers from Holiday Style. I stamped her in Memento Desert Sand and coloured her with Copics. I pulled out some old MME papers, distressed the edges and sponged with brown ink. I added a Memory Box Die and some rhinestones to finish it off. Two new products in the KKS shop that I HIGHLY recommend are the Ranger Stamp Cleaner and Two Sided Stamp Cleaner Pad...it's VERY important to clean these new clear stamps after each use to keep them conditioned for years of enjoyment!! These two products make cleaning your stamps a breeze...just spritz the cleaner on one pad, scrub your stamp and dry it on the other pad. Oh, and the cleaner is bubble gum scented. It smells AMAZING!! 

On the inside of my card, I used Annie's gorgeous wreath, Holly Jolly. I also added one of the Magic of Christmas sentiments. 

Upon MANY customer requests, we have also released a Limited Edition HOLIDAY Kard Kit! There are only 50 kits available and once they are gone, that's it....sold out! You can find all the information about this kit, what's inside, your shipping options etc., in the special event page RIGHT HERE!

We've also got lots of new goodies in the SHOP including new paper pads, enamel dots, etc from companies like Simple Stories, Kaisercraft, American Crafts, Doodlebug and more! I've also had restocks of EZmount, inks, poster paint pens, liquid applique, Wink of Stella brushes etc.!  

Here's the hop list:

Holiday Style...A Kraftin' Kimmie Preview!

Welcome to Day FOUR of the Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps SEPTEMBER KRAFTY PREVIEWS!!! And they are CLEARLY amazing, wouldn't you say?? wink emoticon

Today we have three new holiday sets by artist, Annie Rodrigue!! I think you'll agree that they are all wonderfully festive!! There are two 4x4 sets are called FROSTY FRIENDS and HOLLY JOLLY, and a larger 4x6 set called HOLIDAY STYLE! 

In addition to being a preview day, we also have our weekly challenge...this week, our hostess is JENNY! Her challenge is ANYTHING GOES (as it always is during release week)!! So create a card, scrapbook page or altered item with any stamp but if you use a Kraftin' Kimmie stamp you'll double your chances to WIN!! We'd LOVE to see your KKS designs. You have a week to play with this challenge and at the end of the month, we'll announce a WINNER from all of the weekly challenges for September! We hope you can play along for your chance to WIN a $20 Gift Certificate to use on ANYTHING you want in the shop!! 

I used one of the beautiful singers from the Holiday Style stamp set. I also used a sentiment from the brand new clear set, The Magic of Christmas which is also being released this weekend. The papers are from Bo Bunny. The image was stamped in Memento Desert Sand ink and coloured with Copics. The decorative snowflake flourish is a Memory Box die. I used my favourite Glamour Dust glitter to add some sparkle to my card. This pretty glitter is very easy to use...just add some clear glue to the surface you want to shimmer and then sprinkle the glitter over top. I work over a creased piece of paper so that I can shake off the excess and funnel it back into my bottle...you could also use one of those handy glitter trays. I've had my bottle of Glamour Dust for several years, and there barely a dent in the amount! It's a wonderful investment...make sure to grab a bottle while Kimmie has them in stock! 

Here's the set:

Magic of Christmas...A Kraftin' Kimmie Sneak Peek of Something VERY Special!!

It's Day ONE of our September Krafty Peeks for the NEW Release at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps! And today we are introducing you to:

 OUR NEW CLEAR STAMPS!!

Kimmie's amazing company has been part of the stamping world for almost 6 years now. She recently decided that it was time for a change! Not only has she introduced 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. However, 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!

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 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 Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps Shop!!

Here's my card featuring one of the gorgeous sentiments from the new Magic of Christmas set.  I chose some old Bo Bunny paper that coordinates perfectly with the deer in the sentiment. I distressed all the edges and sponged them with brown ink. The sentiment was also stamped in brown ink.  I added a fun wooden snowflake embellishment that I coated in Glamour Dust and some brand new Maya Road Jute Cording...I have decided that this will be a staple in my craft room!! To finish it off, I added a few rhinestones. 

Here's a shot of the new set...just look at that beautiful new packaging!! 

ALL of our CLEAR September stamps PLUS a Limited Edition Super Sized HOLIDAY Kard Kit (you can find out more on the kit event page HERE) will be available on Saturday night at the Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps Shop!!! Be sure to join us for an hour of celebrating the new stamp sets, fun and prizes on Saturday evening at our LIVE ONLINE RELEASE PARTY!! Come hang out with the Krafty Girls and me!!
