November Monthly Challenge 

Mid Month Inspiration! 

Every month we post a brand new challenge with a choice of themes to choose from, and a mid month inspiration post with even more creative ideas! 

This month our challenge themes for you are:

Snow and/or Stencils!

Krafty Girl, Sabrina is our Hostess this week!

It's a Choose Your Own Krafty Adventure!

The monthly challenges are a great way to inspire you and help get your creative mojo going!  We've got some fabulous prompts for you and can't wait to see what YOU create!

I made a mix media tag using Sweet Snowflakes stencil debossed with my Sizzix big kick, then inked with Crisp Crimson, and Rich Rust . I then added white gesso along the outside borders of the tag for a snowy look.

I made this tag during Nov 11 Kolour along, so check that out if you want to learn more about how it was made.

I coloured up one of Krafty Elves in no line colouring, and placed her over top of a large snowflake. 

I lastly added the handmade by: sentiment and cut out a banner to write my name with a gel pen. 

You are welcome to enter as many times as you like. These must be new creations and you are welcome to use any stamp, however, using Kraftin' Kimmie Stamp products will earn you double entries!

November Scrappy Challenge with Kraftin Kimmie stamps

 Good morning, my Krafty Friends!

It's November and that means it's time for a new
Skrappy Challenge
at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps!  

The theme of course is ANYTHING BUT A CARD!

For this challenge you can make anything that strikes your fancy....except a card!  So design a new scrapbook page, bookmark, tag, altered item, planner page, art journal, ATC cards...whatever you like! 

Just make sure to include some Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps products and make sure it's a new creation! 

Ooops I forgot that I signed up for the challenge this month! So I came home and told myself let’s make a quick tag!

I first embossed with our  Christmas Candy stencil and inked up the debossed side with Crisp Crimson, Sandy Shores, Tranquil Teal. I then inked over the panel with Wicked Black.

I then grabbed the first Christmas stamp set that was close to me, which just happens to be one of my favs: Yummy Christmas. 

I added a pattern paper circle and a sentiment heat embossed in white. 

All in all this took me 60 minutes, which just goes to show you that you can make a quick project even in a time crunch. 

*NEW - Our Challenges are now combined with the 

Saturday Challenge and the Christmas Challenge in the Krafty Friends FB group! So feel free to enter any or all of these - the monthly prize is a $20 voucher to the Krafty shop!!!  Woohoo!  To enter, be sure to upload your photo to the November album in our Krafty Friends FB group.

Inspirational Wednesday with Kraftin Kimmie Stamps Owl-Chemy!

 Hello Everyone!

Today’s inspirational Wednesday, and I’m up using the cute and spooky Owl-Chemy stamp set!

I started by making my Background with the circle mask from the Classic Circle Stencil to mask off my moon.

I then inked the background with Sunshine Yellow, Charming Chartreuse, Green Goblin, and Wicked black for a neon green sky.

I shaded the moon with my Copics, and inked up the ground with more wicked black.

Then I coloured the 2 owls and potions in no lines colouring. 

Lastly, I added some enamel stars from Doodlebug, and inked up the sentiment in Wicked black. 

Owl-Chemy is 50% off this week for Inspirational Wednesday! 

Flap your wings over to Kraftin Kimmie Store and get it while supplies last!

I hope you have a happy Halloween!

Every release I try to do at least one project out of my comfort zone, but I was a bit delayed in getting this done for the Krafty Peek, so I’m sharing it now.

This is called an angle fold card, and I thought it would be fun with our little skier from the Have an ice day set! 

I paired him with some pattern paper, and our new birch stencil.

Ink used on the birch stencil is Magical Midnight which is on sale this month! I inked through the stencil on some woodgrain pattern paper, then splattered white ink for a very snowy background! 

I’m going to have to try this fold some more, as it was very easy and fun to do! 

Happy hoppin'!  And happy shoppin'!

September Kraftin Kimmie Scrappy Challenge

When we released the new Here for the Candy stencil I instantly thought it would be cute to use for treat bags! 

I started by inking the stencil with the following inks:

Charming Chartreuse

Incredible Indigo

Pretty in pink

Pumpkin Patch

Tranquil Teal

Yummy Yellow

I then stamped the little boo sentiment from Hey There Punkin! In between the candy.

I was considering stopping there because the stenciling took a bit of time, but I felt like it needed a focal image, so I added the little ghostie with lolly pop from Sweet and Spooky

The Candy was then sealed in the bag, and I added removable glue dots so the bag topper could be removed without wrecking it. 

I think next time I would like to add more layers such as ribbon or washy and stickers. 

I hope this sparks some scrappy ideas, and my niece and nephew will be happy to share a stash of candy!

OUT OF THIS WORLD!

Next up is a totally BOO-tiful set of little ghosties by artist
Sabrina van Vloten!
It's called SWEET & SPOOKY!

Last stamp set is our Krafty Komeback stamp set which was originally released in rubber back in 2014!!  Can you believe it?!
It's called HEY THERE, PUNKIN!

And check out this brand new YUMMY set of layering stencils called...
HERE FOR THE CANDY!

Of course you can purchase each of the new goodies individually but it you NEED it ALL...hehe...you can grab this month's GIMME KIMMIES KIT which includes all SIX products and at a DISCOUNT!

PLUS you'll automatically receive our August Stamp of the Month for FREE when you spend $75CAN or more before shipping and taxes!

Now head on out for today's celebration blog hop and check out all the new products in action as the Krafty Team shares their incredible designs!  Then jump on over to the Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps Shop and grab some of these fabulous products for yourself!

I created a scene card using both the S'more Fun and Sweet and Spooky stamp sets. I thought why can't ghosties have a campfire! 

I started by inking my background panel with Lavish Lilac, Whimsical Wisteria. I then took our Chubby Cloud stencil and inked with Alluring Amethyst and Wicked Black for some dark stormy clouds.

I then created the bottom of the card with Charming Chartreuse , Mossy Meadows, and Wicked Black. 

I then coloured up the stamps and added them to the panel. I thought that embers should be coming up from the campfire so I added dots with gel pens. 

My ghosties got a little darker than I was hoping, but my mom pointed out, "who stays clean when sitting around the campfires" 

Lastly, I added the sentiment and some gems. I'm proud that I'm making more scene cards. 

Happy hoppin'!  And happy shoppin'!
