Have an Ice Day!

Welcome to another Wonderful Wednesday challenge at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps. It's the last one for January 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 and you can enter on this post until Tuesday, February 4th when the winner for January will be announced!! What do you think.....wanna WIN??

**Please note that you are more than welcome to combine this Wonderful Wednesday 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 used one of the super cute images from the Have an Ice Day set. I coloured the hockey player with Copic markers, fussy cut him and adhered him to the Bo Bunny design paper (Woodland Winter) which I thought looked a little like an outdoor rink. The snowflakes are Maya Chipboard that were painted white and coated with Glamour Dust. I also added Glamour Dust to the edges of the white cardstock I used for matting. Glamour Dust is my absolute favourite glitter. :) 



Skin: E000, E00, E11, RV95  Hair: E57, E59  Jersey and other teal accents: BG11, BG72, BG78, W5, W7, W9  Pants, scarf and other green accents: G20, YG91, YG95, W5, W7, W9  Stick: E50, E21, E25, E29, E59  Skates: W3, W5, W7

Let Your Hair Down...It's Release Day at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps!!

It’s our JANUARY RELEASE Day at KRAFTIN' KIMMIE STAMPS and we’re celebrating with a KRAFTY HOP!! 

Did you see all the previews we shared over the last few days? This month we’ve got TWO sweet new FAIRYTALE sets featuring our favourite kiddos from Cheryl……ONCE UPON A TIME 3 and 4! There's an awesome new GIRL ADVENTURE set from artist Rachelle Anne Miller called DREAM BIG! Lastly, we are SO excited to share a SASSY new Moonlight Whispers stamp set....LET THE GOOD TIMES ROLL!

My card features Rapunzel from the Once Upon a Time Set 3 set. The set also includes Jasmine, Goldilocks and a collection of coordinating sentiments. I used some old Theresa Collins papers...I really need to start making a dent in my stash of older papers! The image was fussy cut and mounted on the design paper and matted with Spellbinders Lacey Squares. I also added a second Lacey Square as a diamond behind the main image layer. A bit of machine stitching and a black bow finished it off.

Inspiration Photo Challenge at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps!

Well, welcome back for more fun and krafty challenges and much more here at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps!!! Hope you can play along as we've got yet another great challenge for you to share your mojo! It's awesome to see so many of you creating with KKS!!! You ROCK! 

This week our hostess is JENNY!! And her challenge is an INSPIRATION PHOTO!! So create a card, scrapbook page or altered item with a Kraftin' Kimmie stamp using the inspiration photo below as a jumping off point!!! Sounds fun....and sparkly!! Join us this week because we'd LOVE to see your KKS designs. We hope you can play along for your chance to WIN some Kraftin' Kimmie rubbah!!! 

Here's my card inspired by the photo Jenny chose. It features the gorgeous Katherine. I used some older SEI papers and a variety of Spellbinders. I paper pieced part of Katherine's dress and used some Stardust Stickles to reflect the glitter from the inspiration photo. I also added some rhinestones for a bit more bling. The flourish cut out is an MFT die and a flourish stamp from Impression Obsession was used on the image panel. 


On the inside, I used the sentiment that comes with Katherine. 


Here's the inspiration photo Jenny chose:
