Moosel-ToeSat Dec 2 @ 7 am EST

Good morning and welcome to our new

Monthly Saturday Challenge

at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps!

Are you ready for another krafty challenge to inspire you and help get your creative juices flowing?

We've got some fabulous ideas for you

and can't wait to see what you create!

This month our Saturday Challenge themes for you are:

Christmas and/or Winter

You can choose one or both - whatever inspires you!

Krafty Girl Tamara is hosting our challenge! We take a little break over the holidays so we will not be posting a mid-inspiration post this month, but you can still enter all month long!

I wanted to make a festive card using Moosel-toe and Holiday Lights Stencil!

My colour palette includes:

Bashful Blush, Enchanting Emerald, and Cool Cantaloupe! It made for a fun non-traditional colour palette.

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! 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!

Our Challenges are now combined with the

Skrappy Challenge (first Tuesday of the Month)

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!

There are two ways to enter: you can link up your creation on the Kraftin’ Kimmie blog page and if using KKS products, you can upload your photo to the album in our Krafty Friends FB group. *These are all challenges we have done in the past but now when you upload them, please put them all in the one challenge album!

November Kraftin Kimmie Sneak Peek: Icy Penguin Pals!

Today is our final day of Krafty Peeks for the November Release

at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps!

We are so excited to share a fabulous new set

by artist Becky Pearce

called...

Icy Penguin Pals!

Our penguin friends are back again, and this time they are celebrating winter with warm wishes! They're sporting tiny skates and this set has a frozen pond and accessories!

Check out Icy Penguin Pals in so many amazing creations today as you hop around the Krafty Team's blogs! You'll also see the beautiful new stencils, Build a Snowman and the Ugly Sweaters Layering Stencil along the way!

I’ve been in a bit of a crafty rut, and sometimes when this happens I try something outside the box.

I thought wouldn’t it be cool instead of putting these penguins in a standard circle or square frame, that I masked them onto snowflake shapes.

I then decided that the white snowflakes were a bit boring, so using the ink of the month Aqua Adventure, I first inked the snowflakes then stamped the penguins.

I then chose darker markers to colour over the aqua adventure.

I designed the main panel of my card with the snowflakes from Season’s Tweetings as I thought they were a pretty close match. I stamped them with Magical Midnight, Berry Bliss, Aqua Adventure and silver embossing.

I love how easy it was to create some matching pattern paper.

Lastly I added a touch of silver to each snowflake using a silver gel pen, and some silver pearls.

I think it turned out ok, and got me thinking of new techniques!

Everything will be released after our LIVE Online Release Party TODAY! All the fun takes place in the Krafty Friends facebook group beginning at 2 pm ET! See you there!
