Kraftin Kimmie Sneak Peek Day #3 - Shake it Up- Polar Bears

 

Today we are sharing a second fabulous set from artist, Becky Pearce! This one is an add-on to the set from yesterday! Did you love Shake It Up?? Well, this one is

SHAKE IT UP - POLAR BEARS!

 

This sweet little 4x4 clear stamp set is full of roly poly polar bear images with lots of accessories and gorgeous sentiments! You can use it on it's own or in addition to the Shake It Up snowglobe stamp set from yesterday's peeks for an endless combination of possibilities!! There's a total of SIXTEEN stamp sets in this adorable set!

For my card, I wanted to use the totally adorable paper from Doodlebug called Polar Pals.  It just seemed so perfect for this stamp set.  I stamped my snow globe and cut it out using my Scan N Cut 2.  Then I paper pieced the inside with some adorable snowflake paper.  I also die cut a piece of white card stock to look like snow drifts and paper pieced that on top.  Then I stamped and colored the little bears and cut those out on my Scan N Cut 2 as well.  I popped them on top of the snow globe using some foam tape and then stamped my sentiment on the bottom.  Next, I die cut and layered all the fabulous patterned papers, added a doily and some ribbon, and then added my image to the top with some more foam tape.  To finish the whole card off, I added some rhinestone snowflakes.

Kraftin Kimmie Sneak Peek Day #2 - Shake it Up!

 

Hello!  It's Day TWO of the September Krafty Peeks

at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps!...

Today I am sharing a preview featuring a fabulous new set from artist, Becky Pearce! It's called SHAKE IT UP!!

This sweet 4x6 clear stamp set features a fabulous snow globe, of course! Plus adorable animals, accessory stamps, sentiments and more with a total of EIGHTEEN stamps for an endless combination of design possibilities!


 

 

For my card, I chose some fairly traditional Christmas papers and colored my image to match.  I created a little snow globe scene with the reindeer pulling the penguin on the sleigh.  Then I fussy cut the image and placed it on top of a die cut square.  I cut several layers of patterned paper and arranged them on my card, adding some twill ribbon so give the card a "comfortable" feel.  Then I arranged some paper poinsettias and added a die cut tree to the background.

Kraftin Kimmie Sneak Peek Day #1- Santa Paws

It's the most wonderful time of the year!!!
 Hello!  It's Day ONE of the Christmas Release at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps!!...

 Today, I'm featuring a card using this cutie patootie stamp set by artist, Emilie Goulet for all you animal lovers! We certainly can't forget them at Christmas time!

This set features two ADORABLE images plus three coordinating stamp sets at it's called SANTA PAWS!

 For my card, I decided to create a shaker card.  First, I chose some nontraditional Christmas paper and colored my image to match with Copic Markers.  Then I cut it out with my Scan N Cut 2.  Next, I created my shaker in the form of a circle and added some confetti and sequins.  Then put the card together and added some pretty matching paper flowers.

Kraft-tember Challenge/Tutorial - Flowers

 

It's Kraft-tember at Kraftin Kimmie Stamps, an all day krop celebration with challenges and tutorials every two hours!  What could be more fun than that?  I'm on the BLOG today sharing a fun tutorial on how to arrange paper flowers!  Be sure to hop over there and check out how I arranged these poinsettias. I'm also hosting a FLOWERS Challenge too! 

 

 

For this fun little card, I decided to use the ADORABLE Whimsical Gnome set.  I masked a little candy cane into his can which will be available in one of the new sets that will preview later this week.  Then, I chose my patterned papers and colored my image to match. 

 

Next, I die cut several layers of my paper and popped my image with foam tape.  I added my floral arrangement and topped the card off with a banner punch and a cute little button.

Kraftin Kimmie CAS Challenge!

Hi there! It's Saturday and that means it's time for another challenge at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps!  This week's theme is CAS (clean and simple).  I decided to use the lovely Purr-Fect Princess set for this.  Now you guys know I struggle with this as my cards always have a ton of stuff on them, but I think I did pretty well with this one! 

 

For my card, I kept it very simple.  I stamped my image on Spectrum Noir paper  colored with my Copics, added a sentiment, some paper flags, and a round paperclip.  That's it.  Clean and Simple!!!

Kraftin Kimmie Saturday Challenge - MAGIC - Witch Wanda

It's time for another Saturday Challenge at Krafin Kimmie and this time it's all about MAGIC! 

For my card, I used the fabulous Witch Wanda.  I wanted to give her a regal feeling so I found some gold embossed patterned paper and paper pieced her coat.  Then I colored her up with Copic markers, cut her out with my Scan N Cut 3, and added her to a fun little shaker card.  Inside, I used several different sizes of sequins along with some star confetti.  Then I topped it off with some punched flags, a glitter spider, and my sentiment!

Kraftin Kimmie Sneak Peek #4 Happy Owl-oween

 

Hi there!  Hope you are having a great weekend!  It's Day 4 of the Kraftin Kimmie Sneak Peeks and today I have a cute little Owl Card to share with you!!! 

The Adorable Set is by BECKY PEARCE and it's called HAPPY OWL-OWEEN!

 It features three main images, several smaller accessory stamps and five SP-WHOO-KY sentiments for a total of THIRTEEN fabulous stamps in the set!

 I'll admit, I might have gotten a little crazy on this card, but I was going for a Halloween Candy Explosion!  First, I found some fun little candy paper to use and then I colored up my little owl.  Notice, I put a fun little mask on him from the set.  Then I popped him up with some foam tape and layered him on several different shaped die cuts.  Then I added some pleated ribbon, some fun 3D candy embellishments and some die cuts ghosts from the set.  (I cut the ghosts and owl out with my Scan N Cut 2).

Of course it includes our three fave kiddos, Lexi, Lucas and Lulu and they're having lots of fun at the fall fair! There's apples, cotton candy and furry friends!

 

The set has four main images, a fabulous banner that you can stamp anything you want in....OR hand letter a special sign PLUS five fabulous sentiments!

Isn't it just the cutest???  For my card, I wanted to create a county fair feeling so I decided to create a card that kind of resembled an award ribbon.  First, I chose some paper that had a country feel.  Then I stamped my image and colored him to match.  Next, I mounted him in middle with foam tape and placed it in the center of a paper doily.  I added some tweed ribbon, some punch flags at the bottom and the cute little sentiment.
