Do YOU know what day it is??? It’s Krafty RELEASE Day!! Today Kraftin’ Kimmie Stamps is releasing their new October stamps and there’s SO much to SEE!!

Over the last few days in our Krafty Peeks, we have shared lots of FUN new stamps for you to get inky with! We’ve got something for everyone!! There is a fun new trio of SNOWPEEPS from Cheryl Alger ! We have a super fun set of five animals having fun in the white stuff from Emilie Goulet called the WINTER WONDERLAND collection! And of course we have an amazing new set of six EVERYDAY GIRLS from Annie Rodrigue!

You will get to see most of the new images today as you sit back and enjoy our OCTOBER Krafty Hop! If you want to start from the beginning, just head over to the Kraftin’ Kimmie Challenge Blog! As you hop from blog to blog, be sure to leave a comment at each and every stop because some lucky stampers will win packages of these incredible stamps from the new release!!

And of course, as always, we have our Gimme Kimmies Kits available for those of you who ‘need it all’!! The stamps are grouped together by artist and are available at a discount, but only for a limited time!!

Yep, it's finally here. I've had so much fun playing with all these cool images and now they are all up at the Kraftin' Kimmie Shop.

For my card today, I have used 'A Cup of Cozy Wishes' by the awesome Cheryl Alger. I think this snowlady is so cute, don't you? She looks like she's really enjoying her big mug of hot chocolate. I coloured her with my trusty Copics and cut her out using my Curved Rectangles Nesties. Then I sponged around the edges while she was still in the die. I used some Cosmo Cricket 'Jolly by Golly' papers, first to make a larger Nestie frame for the image layer. Then I used a piece with some cute cups of cocoa for the background. I added some Real Red Polka Dot ribbon across the front, then I heat embossed the sentiment on some Real Red C.S. using some Winter Wonderland embossing powder. I also used some Diamond Dust flakes for snow on the ground and I painted Christmas Red Stickles on a clear snowflake and glued it in the top right hand corner. I matted it all onto some more Real Red and the card base is Pool Party.

Now, enough about my card, you will want to head on to the next blog. If you have come here from the blog of 'Quixotic Paperies' fabulous Elaine, you are in the right spot. If not, you might want to start at the beginning of the Hop and that's at Kraftin' Kimmie's Challenge Blog. Now, your next stop is at the blog of our super talented Melanie. Her work truly takes my breath away!! So enjoy the rest of your hopping and don't forget to leave a comment at each and every blog for more chances to win a package of some of the new release stamps.

Happy Hopping and Stamping too,

Diana

Well, it's Day 3 now!! Sketch Challenge and Tomorrow is the Big Day!

Well, I'm back again as promised with another Krafty Peek. Today, as I mentioned yesterday we are featuring the fabulous new images from the super talented Annie Rodrigue. As Kimmie has mentioned before, we were so blessed to have Annie come all the way from Montreal for Krafty Day last weekend. Wow, what a talent she is and such a very sweet lady!! It was such a treat to talk with her and to watch her work. She brought her sketch pad with her and we all got to browse it and see all the Moonlight Whispers in their original form. So awesome!!
Here is a picture of Annie in front of the Kraftin' Kimmie Banner which features all Moonlight Whispers images. Well, enough of my drooling over Annie, now to my card. I chose to use Eva, I love the way she is nonchalantly leaning on her shovel. I know I sure never look like that when I shovel snow!!

Well, this week's challenge is a sketch from the awesome Pam Varnell. It's a really nice one too. Not too hard or complicated. You can find the original sketch at Kraftin' Kimmie's Challenge Blog. I used some lovely Bo Bunny 'Father Christmas' papers. I used kraft paper for my card base, for some of the matting and also for the sentiment. The other cardstock I used is Garden Green. I finished off with some burgundy Prima flowers, a clear snowflake, some kraft coloured brads and I added some Frosted Lace Stickles for snow.

Now be sure to leave a comment on all our blogs as two lucky ladies will each win 3 of the Moonlight Whispers stamps. Don't forget to come back tomorrow for our Krafty Blog Hop and another chance to win some of the new stamps. All the new stamps will go live at the Kraftin' Kimmie Shop bright and early in the morning!!

See you again tomorrow,

Diana

Now onto my card. I used Stocking Miles for this one, I just think he's so cute and so easy to make a card with. I used Real Red for the base and I used some sort of aqua shade (by Provo Craft) for the matting onto the base and behind Miles. I don't remember what patterned papers I used as I made the card a while ago. I used some white Flower Soft on the cuff of the stocking, added a couple of snowflakes and Merry Christmas as the sentiment, from Kimmie's Holiday Sentiments.

Okay, so if you're already hopping, you should have come here from the fabulous Tori's Blog. Your next stop is the very talented Elaine's Blog.
