Each week one of our amazing design team members will be here to inspire you to get creative with your krafty stamps!

This week Krafty Girl, Keri is sharing her creation with the Make Your Own Magic clear stamp set!

Hair and Fur: E29, E25, E23 and E21

Purple: V09, V06, V04 and V01

Rubbah Rerelease

Woot woot! Y'all are really enjoying our latest rubber rereleases featuring Halloween Trinkets and Spook-tacular Sentiments.......SO we decided it's time for another Rubber Rerelease!!

As you know, Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps has been going strong for 8.5 years and we have produced hundreds of amazing stamp sets but we can't keep them all in stock forever! So sometimes we have to retire them....but once in a while, it's super fun to bring back an older stamp set in red rubber!!

We are THRILLED to be bringing back not ONE...but TWO
of our fabulously cute stamp sets by artist Cheryl Grant!

First up is.....HALLOWEEN LULU!!!

Little Lulu is all dressed up for some frightening fun! This set includes three adorable main images plus four sweet coordinating sentiments! It will arrive as completely unmounted PRETRIMMED high quality red rubbah!!!

And secondly we have......CAVE KIDS!!!

This fantastic set of prehistoric kiddos features Lulu, Lexi and Lucas and let's just say.....it ROCKS!!!
The set features the three kids plus their little dino pal plus seven coordinating sentiments! The set will arrive as completely unmounted PRETRIMMED high quality red rubbah!!!

I ask you....what's better than pretrimmed rubbah?? You can use these stamps with double sided tape and an acrylic block OR we also carry EZmount foam sheets if you prefer to mount your rubber with that little bit of extra cushion!
