Day Three of KKS sneak peaks

Hi there and welcome back to day three of Kraftin' Kimmie's Stamps. Today we're featuring Emilie's newest creations and they are so sweet!! I played with a couple of the images, here's a peak of the first one.


I coloured her in with my copics markers matching her to the Cosmo Cricket Pixie-licious papers that I used, ironically. Lol I added a little bit of glitter to her wand and wings using my Gelly Roll Sakura Star dust pen. This is my go to pen for adding just a subtle amount of glitter. I also finally used my prima roses that I got way back at Christmas time that I've been hoarding, but I thought she was so cute she deserved to have them right there beside her. Underneath the rose is a little flourish of gems that I picked up from the dollar store. Stamped the sentiment and then punched it out with SU word window punch and then framed it with the fancy labels punch in a nice glittery teal.

For my second card the papers are from MME Happy Go Lucky, and I think that's just how she looks. :) Framed her with my spellbinders and inked around the edges with some SU soft sky. It's a great colour to use for this technique.


I added a a scalloped border and some sparkly butterflies with a MS punch, and added some glittery ribbon. Again from the $ store. Sometimes you can find the best little finds there.


Thanks for stopping by and be sure to pop back tomorrow you won't be disappointed!!

Day Two of KKS Sneak Peaks

Welcome back to day two of Kraftin' Kimmie's Stamps sneak peaks. Today we have some new Lulu's to show you. This time Lulu is on the move. I wanted to share Lulu rollerblading because now that we have some nice weather both my girls are often rollin up and down our street,  which I'm so happy is a dead end. :)


I coloured Lulu with my copics and then used my oval and scalloped spellbinders to cut her out, inking around the edges with some soft sky Stampin Up ink before removing it from the nestie. Added some flowers that I had gotten from Dollar Giant.

To see what else Lulu is up to this month check out some of the other Krafty Gals blog for some more KKS Sneak Peaks.

Thanks for stopping by.

Day one of KKS sneak peaks, and something new...


We are kicking off the *New* May  Kraftin’ Kimmie Stamps release today and first off, we’d like to introduce you to a whole new line of stamps!!!  We are very excited to share with you our….TRINKETS!!! 

These circular sentiment stamps have been created and designed by the totally talented Krafty Girl, Nicole Aspinall!!  They are made especially to fit in your 1 3/8ths and 1 ¾ inch punches, for quick and easy cutting!!!  This month we are releasing the Everyday Trinkets set which covers Birthday, Thank You, Friendship and Just Because!!!  There are EIGHT trinkets in each set with four of each size and they come as both positive and negative images, so you can use your black or brown ink with the positive stamps and use your coloured inks with the negative ones!!



I made a few cards using these awesome trinkets. You can use them on their own or with an image. I have some samples of each. Wanna see?


So there's endless possibilities for these trinkets stamps. Smash books, tags, scrapbooks, and of course cards. Check out what the rest of the krafty girls came up with over at the KKS challenge blog.

See you tomorrow for Day Two of KKS sneak peaks!! :)

KKS challenge #127

Welcome to this week's Kraftin Kimmie's Stamps challenge. With Mother's Day just around the corner our challenge this week is to make a card for mom. Awwww :)

So I thought using Lulu playing dress up was perfect for this challenge. I used some designer paper from my stash so I'm not sure what line it is from. I added a heart border using my Martha Stewart punch, and a few prima flowers with a pearl brad.


The sentiment I used is from an Amy r set that I punched out using a Stampin Up punch. Then I remembered these cute little charms that I had bought along time ago and thought it would complete the card nicely. :)

To see more of this week's cards or to play along stop by the KKS challenge blog.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great weekend!!
