Pam's fabby sketch

Challenge time at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps!

This week Pam is hosting a cool sketch for you to try.

I have used another fun Christmas Elf on my card.

Krafty Kristmas Blog Hop!

HO, HO, HO!!!  Today Kraftin’ Kimmie Stamps is releasing their new September stamps and it’s all about Christmas!! 

As you’ve seen over the last few days in our Krafty Peeks, we have lots of festive new stamps for you to play with for CHRISTMAS!  There is a beautiful set from Cheryl Alger called the O Holy Night Nativity Set along with a set of coordinating Nativity Sentiments!  We have a super fun set of images from Emilie Goulet called the Happy Holidays collection!  If you like elegant, we also have SIX gorgeous ANGELS from Annie Rodrigue!  Lastly, we’ve got an amazing set of larger sentiments called Christmas Interior Sentiments that are perfect for finishing off your holiday creations!!! 

For today's card I have used one of Emilie's fun Elves. I just love them! Especially this cutie Toymaker Elf. 

And what do we have here!!!??? Why, it's the INSIDE of my card!!?? Gasp! I have never finished the inside of a single one of my cards before. Which is a pity really, especially when you have awesome internal sentiment stamps like this to use!

If you're following the Holiday Krafty Hop then you are near the end, next stop, Kimmie!

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 MERRY stamps from the new release!!  And when you’re done hoppin’, be sure to head over to the Kraftin’ Kimmie shop, because ALL the new images are NOW available! 

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!!

ALSO, we have decided to extend our Gift with Purchase promotion, so EVERY order over $25 before shipping will receive a FREE Steven Leary stamp!!

'Tis the season to be Jolly!

Day three of Krafty Kristmas peeks!! AND a challenge!

Annie Rodrigue has created six gorgeous Angels for this release. I love that they are so pretty and soft and... angelic! But they still have Annie's characteristic sass! Gorgeous!

Each of these stamps comes with its own halo and sentiment too. Bonus!

This caroling beauty is Aurelia. She's a bit sparkly!!!



You can win your very own Aurelia by playing along with today's Christmas in September challenge! Create a festive card using a KK stamp and you are in the running!

Don't forget to visit all the girls and check out their Angel creations - leave a comment at every stop too because two visitors will win a pack of three of Annie's new Angels!

I hope you'll come back tomorrow for the Krafty Hop and release day when all the fun Christmas stamps are available in the Kraftin' Kimmie Store.

FA LA LA LA LA LA LAAAA LA LA!

Exciting times! It's Christmas at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps! This weekend we reveal all the new festive stamps, but first we have some sneaky peeks for you!!! I ALWAYS used to sneak a peek at my Christmas gifts when I was younger. How cheeky!

Christmas is going to creep up on us again this year no doubt. It will be here before we know it! Have you made any cards yet? The Kraftin Kimmie Christmas range is perfect for that!

Yesterday you may have seen some lovely nativity stamps from Cheryl Alger, and today we have some fun images to share from Emilie - I adore all the cute elves, but I have chosen to colour Santa and his heavy load!

I have paper pieced his sack, and popped it up on 3D dots to make sure it looks like it's bulging with gifts!

My sentiment came from an awesome set of brand new internals also being released this weekend. 

Head on over to the Kraftin' Kimmie blog to see a list of the Krafty Girls who have something to share today. Visit them all - check out the other fun Chrissie characters and leave a comment on as many as you can because tomorrow Kim will randomly draw one winner from all of our visitors who could win 3 of Emilie's stamps PLUS the full set of internal sentiments! HO! HO! HO!

Blast from the Past

I remember the first time I laid eyes on Kraftin' Kimmie stamps. It was less than a year ago (I was a late bloomer) when Lime Tart placed the first of many KKS orders. I fell in love with the Moonlight Whispers range instantly and they are still my favourites.

Goldilocks was in my very first order, but I have only ever coloured her once! Once! I am fickle like that - my stamps don't see a lot of ink - I get bored quickly! And there's always so many lovely NEW designs coming out!!!!

But YAY for Goldilocks that Angie's Blast from the Past challenge required us to use one of our very first Kraftin' Kimmie stamps, so she came out of semi-retirement for today's card.

I have used My Mind's Eye Lost and Found Two papers from the current Half Tart Kit. Gosh they are gorgeous.

Poor Goldilocks had an unfortunate accident with the BigShot which resulted in a rip, a crease and some embossing wonkiness... so don't look too closely! I coloured my ribbon with Copic marker R02 to soften the white in the gingham and better match the background paper. 

Isn't she soo cute? 

So who was your first Kraftin' Kimmie? Show her some ink and share on the challenge blog. You could win yourself some old-school Kimmie rubbah!

Don't forget, there are a bunch of cool images on special in the awesome Frugal Friday offer. Including, among others, the very new Sharing is Loving stamp which I adore! Check out all the details here.

Office Supplies

The best thing about working in a corporate environment? The stationery cupboard of course!!! (and the only thing I miss about it now that I work from home!)

Mmmmm, stationery!!!  I love it. My uncle used to own a newsagency and I had access to all the manila folders I wanted! It was heaven for a 10 year old stationery freak :)
I haven't outgrown it either - I recently got very excited about a bulk purchase of pretty notebooks... I had to show everyone who came through the front door - am I embarrassing myself now?? LOL
Come on, I know you feel the same way! If you are like me and have hoards of paperclips, staples and lined paper, then this challenge will be right up your alley.

Kerry has challenged us to incorporate office supplies in our Kraftin' Kimmie card creations this week.
Have a go and you could win yourself the cute Back to School Mattie stamp.

Here's my card.
