How fun are these nutcrackers?  You may have caught a glimpse of these guys over the weekend as this set was part of one of our virtual retreat classes with Krafty Girl, Allison!

I couldn't resist using all three of these fun nutcrackers on my card! I stamped them in Wicked Black in on Neenah paper and coloured them with Copics. The sentiment is from the set and I used some new Christmas Dots as embellishments.

Santa's Ride...a Kraftin' Kimmie Sneak Peek!

 Welcome to Day 2 of the September 2020 Release Sneak Peeks at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps !

Introducing our newest set from Sabrina...



What would a holiday release be without the man in red himself?!  This adorable new set features Santa delivering  Christmas joy by train!  The set includes Santa in the engine, two different sized train cars, and a train track in addition to a bunch of fabulous people and items you can interchange to go in the cars. This set is so versatile...you can make your choo choo as long as you want!




I stamped the images from Santa's Ride in Wicked Black ink on Neenah paper and coloured with Copics. In the smaller car, I layered the reindeer and candy stamps. I sketched in a snowy background with a few evergreen trees and added some snowflakes with a white gel pen. I used some fun design paper from Bella Blvd and used one of the patterns to paper-piece part of the train cars. I also used some of our fabulous new Christmas Dots. I also added some stickles to the light bulbs on the smaller car.




Check out SANTA'S RIDE in action as you hop around the Krafty Team's blogs today!  You'll also see the new stencils, new ink and new dots along the way!!  Be sure to leave some love at each stop because I'm going to give away some krafty $$ to a lucky commenter!

You'll get to see all of our brand new goodies in action over the next few days of August Krafty Peeks and everything will be released at our LIVE Online Release Party in the Krafty Friends facebook group on Saturday, August 15th at 2 pm EST.

I stamped all three main images on Neenah cardstock in our Wicked Black ink and coloured everything but the clothing in Copics. I paper-pieced the clothing with the design paper and added some additional shading to the pieces with copics. After fussy cutting the images, I adhered the pilgrims to the design paper and added a bit of grass with copics. I stamped two of the sentiments in Wicked Black ink. Taking inspiration from the lower sentiment, I attached the turkey with a "wobble" to create a moving component on the the card. Honestly, these wobbles might be my new favourite thing!



For now, hop around and check out some incredible designs from our Krafty Team!!  Be sure to leave some love on EACH stop on the hop because I'm going to be giving away some krafty $$ to the shop!!  PLUS our designers are AMAZING and you should tell them so!  ;)

Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps August 2020 Skrappy Challenge

Good morning krafty friends!
It's AUGUST and that means it's time for a brand new
SKRAPPY CHALLENGE
with Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps!


The theme of course is ANYTHING BUT A CARD!

For this challenge you can make anything that strikes your fancy....except a card!

Just make sure to include some Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps products and make sure it's a new creation!  As soon as we have at least five people playing along, we'll be giving away a $10 gift voucher to the krafty shop as the monthly prize.

I recently bought a travel journal after seeing Kimmie create some beautiful journal pages. And then she started the Krafty Journal Group on Facebook. Problem is, I couldn't figure out what to do with mine lol. So I decided to start simple by creating a watercoloured panel for my front page. I painted a very loose background in some pretty colours, added a stamped flourish and then heat embossed a sentiment and several butterflies from the newly restocked Butterfly Dreams stamp set. I also added some Stardust Stickles and tiny rhinestones as finishing touches. 


You have until Monday, August 31st to enter and you can submit as many new creations as you like for more chances to WIN!  Also be sure to share your designs on the Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps' Krafty Friends facebook page because we love to see your stuff!

Check out some more inspiration from the Krafty Team below and be inspired to get krafty!!

Blessings!
