USE ONE OR MORE KRAFTY STENCILS!

I created a Christmas tag with our new HOLIDAY WISHES sentiment set. I started with a kraft tag and layered several distress oxide inks. I topped those our Charming Chartreuse and Mermaid Melody inks. I used our LOTS O' DOTS with those same inks and then added another layer with gold nuvo glacier paste. I also used our HOLLY stencil with some green glacier paste. I sponged a doily with the inks and added some gold paste to the edges of the tag and doily. I also spritzed the tag with some dylusions spray and splattered some Liquitex gold acrylic ink. The sentiment was stamped in WICKED BLACK ink and finished the tag off with some red stickles.

I created a Halloween Tag featuring our new sentiment set, PUMPKIN KISSES. I sponged the background with our Charming Chartreuse, Goblin Green, Purple Petunia and Wicked Black inks. I also used a touch of coordinating colours in Distress Oxides and sprayed the tag with water. The tree is a sticker I picked up at the dollar store. The sentiment was stamped in Wicked Black ink and topped with a Wink Of Stella pen for a little shimmer. The edges were treated to a bit of Stickles, a trick learned from Krafy Girl Brigitte!

Monday, October 28th at midnight EST.

Halloween challenge at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps

Hello and welcome to fun
Saturday Challenge at Kraftin'
 Kimmie Stamps!

Our challenge this week is....
HALLOWEEN!

I used several KKS products with two stamp sets for my card this week. I started by using our SO MANY CIRCLES stencil to create a moon by lightly sponging some GRANITE GREY ink. I then added a bit more shading to the moon with some copics. I then sponged the sky with Granite Grey' ink and stamped the tree and cat from SPOOKY SILHOUETTES and the sentiment from PUMPKIN KISSES in WICKED BLACK ink. I added some additional depth to the sky with Wicked Black and PURPLE PANSY. The grass was done in MOSSY MEADOW ink. The sky was finished off with some bats sponged in Wicked Black ink with our BATS AND MOONS stencil and I added a touch of white coloured pencil to the moon.

Inspirational Wednesday at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps

It's INSPIRATIONAL WEDNESDAY at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps...
the day one of our Krafty designers provides you with a bit of extra

krafty inspiration to help you get creative

with your krafty stamps!

Since our September release featured Christmas themed stamps and products, I felt it would be fun to continue an early festive mood by revisiting one of our older holiday sentiment sets, CHRISTMAS BLESSINGS SENTIMENTS. 

This set features several lovely sentiments in different fonts perfect for so many Christmas projects. I stamped one of the sentiment in  Wicked Black ink on some patterned paper. All paper edges were sponged in Marvelous Mocha ink then topped with gold paint and bit of gold frantage that was hit with a heat gun. I added a chipboard ornament painted in gold and finished it off with a few dots of red stickles. 

CHRISTMAS BLESSINGS SENTIMENTS is on sale this week so hop on over to the shop to scoop it up. 

Don't forget to check out all the new release goodies from this month. We have new stamps, stencils, dots and ink!

Blessings!

Day Two of September Sneak Peeks at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps

Welcome back with more 
HOLIDAY goodness for our
SEPTEMBER 2019 release for
Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps!

Today we have TWO NEW sets by our fabulous

artist, Melissa Baker-Nguyen:

First up is....
HOLIDAY WISHES!

These gorgeous larger sized sentiments can be used as the focal point of your creation, in combination with a coloured image, on the interior of cards, on tags, on bags and lots more!

Second up is.....
CHRISTMAS SEALS!

We've updated our trinket style stamp set with a combination of circular sentiments and designs.  These new stamps are perfect to use with circle punches, round dies or on their own.  Think of all the tags you can create and so quickly using these sweet images with our coloured hybrid inks!  Plus they make fabulous additions to your coloured images on cards and scrapbook pages and all your other holiday goodies.

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

I used one of the gorgeous sentiments from HOLIDAY WISHES to make a gift tag. I created the background by first sponging the tag with a combination of our Charming Chartreuse and Mossy Meadow inks. I then used our new HOLLY stencil with some pretty green Nuvo Glacier paste and highlighted the berries with red Stickles. The edges were brushed with gold Nuvo Glacier paste and I added a little gold frantage that was melted with my heat gun. I sponged the sentiment layer with the same combos of ink, stamped the sentiment in Wicked Black and again smudged some gold paste on the edges with my finger. To finish it off, I added a bit of red stickles to the sentiment and around the edges of the tag (a trick learned from Krafty Girl Brigitte!!). 

You'll see MOREof 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, September 14th at 2pm EST!
