Pumpkin Kisses...a Kraftin' Kimmie Sneak Peek!

It's Day 2 of the

AUGUST 2019 release for
Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps!

Today's set is
called PUMPKIN KISSES

 and is by our fabulous
artist, Melissa Baker-Nguyen

This gorgeous set features a selection of LARGER sentiments that can be used as the focal point of your creations, in addition to some coloured images or as a finishing sentiment on the inside of your card!  They are perfect for tags and bags and boxes...oh my!  This set is perfect for all your FALL-ish designs!

Here's my card for today's preview. I watercoloured a fall background on Arches cold pressed watercolour paper. This was an experiment in a different style for me inspired by the "spontaneous" landscapes of Steve Mitchell. I really enjoyed the process but unfortunately overworked the piece...a matter of not knowing when to stop lol. A few areas got a little too dark, but the process was really fun and I plan to give it a try again! I added the "IN ALL THINGS GIVE THANKS" sentiment from our new set stamped in Wicked Black ink.

As you hop around the Krafty Team's blogs today you will see the PUMPKIN KISSES stamp set in action in combination with our awesome new August Kraftin' Kimmie products.....ink, stencils and krafty dots!

You'll get to see all of our brand new goodies in action over the next few days of Krafty Peeks and everything will be released at our LIVE Online Release Party in the Krafty Friends facebook group on Saturday, August 17th at 2pm EST!

For now, hop around and check out some incredible designs from our Krafty Team.

Thanks for visiting...blessings!

Coffee Makes Everything Better at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps

Welcome back to another month of Skrappy Fun
at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps!!!

We challenge YOU to make Anything BUT a Card!!!

So that means bookmarks, gifts, scrapbook pages, journal art, planner pages, tags, boxes...pretty much anything that includes a Kraftin' Kimmie Stamp and make sure it's a NEW creation!  As soon as we have at least five people playing, we'll be giving away a PRIZE!!!  yep!  One lucky krafter will WIN a $20 gift voucher to the krafty shop!

I made a K-cup holder that's perfect as a little gift for your caffeine-loving friends! The template for this project can be found HERE. I constructed the base out of kraft cardstock and then finished each panel with a dark brown cardstock mat and patterned paper. I used our Creamy Caramel ink and Beautiful Burlap stencil to create a bit of visual interest and sponged all edges with our Marvelous Mocha ink. The sentiment, coffee beans and coffee cup are all from our BREW-TIFUL DAY stamp set (they were stamped in Marvelous Mocha ink). The coffee beans and cup were coloured directly on the patterned paper with copic markers and I used a touch of white prisma coloured pencil for the highlights on the coffee cup lid. The java button was a fun embellishment I've had in my stash for years. To finish this gift, I dropped in two of my favourite salted caramel K-cups.

You have a whole month to play along until 
Monday, August 26th at midnight EST.
Also be sure to share your creations on the Krafty Friends facebook page because we LOVE to see your stuff!

Check out some incredible inspiration from the rest of the Krafty Design Team below, then join us for all the fun!!

 STITCHING!

These must be new creations and you are welcome to use any stamp, however using a Kraftin' Kimmie Stamp will earn you double entries! Each submission will enter you into the monthly draw of a $40 gift voucher to the krafty shop!

It's my turn to play hostess this week and I thought it would be fun to add STITCHING to our projects. I used to add stitching to nearly every project several years back as it adds a lovely finishing touch. However, it's something I rarely do anymore...time to fix that! I pulled out our adorable WILD WORLD set and stamped the rhino image in our Totally Taupe ink on watercolour paper. The image panel was done in watercolour paints. I added a bit of machine stitching, crocheted trim and pearls to finish it off.

My sentiment card uses our fantastic set HAPPY THOUGHTS. I sponged the background with our inks: Charming Chartreuse, Lovely Lagoon, Mermaid Melody and Sparkling Sapphire.
