My favorite Mo card challenge

Hi everyone! This is a quick post for me today but wanted to show you "My favorite Mo card of 2013" for our challenge at Mo's Digital Pencil challenge for the next week.

This image is called Make a Wish and I just love the white and black with a pop of color. I also used my silhouette on it which doesn't get pulled out nearly enough.

I'm sorry I don't have my copic colors listed for this image but the papers are by Papertrey Ink. I know that much!

Alright, I hope everyone has a safe and wonderful holiday and we will talk to you in the New Year!

Something Old and New

Hi everyone! If you are looking for the Kraftin Kimmie blog hop, please scroll down to my previous post.

Today I made a tag for the Oozak challenge blog and our theme til the end of the month is to use "Something Old and New" on your project. Heaven knows I have enough supplies to fulfill this challenge!

My papers and the stamp set for the poinsettia are new but I have had the image awhile along with the ribbon and the silver scroll tape down the side. I will list all of the products I used at the bottom of my post.

We love to see what you design for our challenges so play along for your chance to win something great from the store too!

Krafty Kardmaking Kit!

It's time for NEW STUFF!!! Haha!! We're kicking off the December Kraftin Kimmie stamps Release with our brand NEW December Krafty Kardmaking Kit!!

The goodies in this month's kit will blow you away....we promise!!! Do you live far away from the nearest Krafty store?? Is it hard to choose all your krafty goodies online without seeing them in person?? Or do you ever feel like you’re running out of krafty mojo?? Need a little help putting things together to make a fabulous card?? Or maybe you don’t have the time to design something yourself and want to just be able to put things together quickly! Well, we’ve taken out all the guess work for you and designed a Krafty Kardmaking Kit with everything you need to make SIX awesome cards AND have some goodies leftover to whip up some extras!

Additionally, our Krafty Girl design team has taken ONLY what's found in this kit (plus their own white cardstock, ink and colouring medium) and created SIX amazing card samples for you (you'll get to see them all as you hop around the links at the bottom of this post)!!! And with this kit you'll receive a gorgeous colour handout, emailed directly to you, featuring pictures of the six cards PLUS some extras and the sketches to go with each creation!! It couldn't be any easier!!

Your Krafty Kit will be shipped in a sturdy box so that your goodies are nice and safe!! The VALUE of each kit is over $32 but our price this month is $25!! Shipping in Canada and the US is $12 PLUS when you order the kit, we are offering FREE additional shipping on anything else in the shop that you order at the same time! So go ahead and load up with paper pads, ezmount, more stamps etc. because the shipping is covered! All your goodies will be shipped together in a box for only $12. (International customers please email me directly to go over your options for the kits!)

I have used the cute Pippa Popcorn on my card today, she is one of the stamps you could choose if you order the kit this month. I did add some liquid pearls to the edge of my cardstock but otherwise all of my elements are from the December Krafty Kardmaking Kit. Even the twine that I twirled into a lollipop! I frantaged the heck out of the edges, just thought it added to the exploding popcorn look lol!

Oh WAIT!!! There is an extra special blog post along the hop by one of our fabulous Krafty Girls and it includes a VIDEO!!! She's sharing everything what she received in this month's kit and ALL the amazing things she created with JUST the one kit!!!!

I am also working on my pleats, practice makes perfect so you may be seeing more pleats here as I give them a go. Darn you Alyce for making them always look so wonderful! haha!

"I" is for...

Good morning crafty peeps! Today we have another fun challenge for Mo's DP Challenge blog and for the next week we would like to see you use something that starts with the letter "I" for your inspiration. It could be icy, illness, inspire or anything that catches your fancy but starts with an "I".

Today I have used Winter Fairy Halla on my card and am going with an "icy" feel with the blue and white theme.

Although you can't see it she has some sparkle on her leg warmers from a glitter pen and on the steam from her breath. Nice little touch irl. I have also layered three different snowflakes for an accent and have used a touch of frantage on two of them. I have also cut one out of clear plastic and added some chunky glitter on it so it was a little more subtle. Papers are Bo Bunny "Snowfall" from a couple of years ago.

Alright, whip out those papers and your Mo image and show us an awesome creation cause we love to see them! Plus Mo has just released several new images so if your card is the randomly chosen winner you could get some of them to play with!

I have used the sweet Grace on my card today and of course she is on sale if you want to snag her. My papers are new from Websters Pages, flowers are WOC and the little die is one I just picked up at Michaels over the weekend. 

I have paper pieced her skirt and used just a smidge of chalk pencil for the shadows, love paper piecing but I hate trying to shade it, dp just doesn't take ink like my copic paper does.

Hi everyone! Today I am posting a card for the Oozak challenge blog and our theme for the next two weeks is "Celebration"! Well, this worked out well for me as a co-worker requested a simple engagement card from me so I was able to kill two birds with one stone. That really isn't a very nice saying if you think about it though haha!

This is pretty simple for me and no copics!

Simple but useful

Would you like MORE chances to win our awesome Kraftin Kimmie stamps? We've created a fun new SHARE to WIN promotion called WONDERFUL WEDNESDAYS!!! Wanna play? Welcome to our last Wonderful Wednesday challenge for November!!

Each Wednesday (except on release preview weeks) we are posting some creations by our fabulous Krafty Girls and we're asking YOU to share your Kraftin' Kimmie kreations here for a chance to WIN!! There are three chances to enter for each month of Wonderful Wednesdays...... but this is the last one for November!! And as always....it's ANYTHING GOES!!...
Your submission must use at least one Kraftin Kimmie stamps but can be any theme, any style, any design and it can be a card, a scrapbook page, an altered item....you name it!! It must be a NEW creation (so you can't submit something you made last year...haha!) and you can enter every week for a chance to win and at the end of the month, we'll draw a winner for a Kraftin' Kimmie Prize Pack!!! What do you think.....wanna WIN??

This week I have made a simple little notebook for my husband. I actually made a larger one with a pocket and was gonna put "Honey Do List" on the front but thought that might be pushing it with him! So I just made a small notebook for him to use for lists as we have tablets thru our entire home, getting older and all that I guess! This cutie pie is from our latest release and is part of the Together is Better set. 

Sorry, I forgot to keep track of my copics this time, if you need to know I am sure I could make a reasonable guess for you. 

**Please note that you are more than welcome to combine this Share to Win challenge with other challenges, BUT not our regular weekly challenges. This must be a new and different creation than anything you create for our Saturday challenges.

Let it snow!

I am okay with this title for a bit, I love me some snow around the holidays but then I could go right into spring! So if you haven't guessed it, our challenge this week at Kraftin Kimmie's is "Let it Snow" and our hostess with the mostest is Deborah who makes some beautiful cards if I do say so myself!

I have used one of our newer images, this is You're so Cool and I love everyone of the images in this set but hadn't colored this one up yet.

It doesn't have quite as much contrast with the papers and embellies as I like but it works!

Anything but a card!

Happy Thursday everyone! Today I have an altered project for the challenge this week at Mo's Digital Pencil challenge blog which is "Anything but a card" and our hostess this week is the lovely Cathy.

I have made a tissue box cover for our challenge and have it sitting on my desk at work. Makes me happy.

My image is Nurse, quite appropriate don't ya think? I only decorated the front with an image and flowers but it does have the dp on the other sides and top.

Not too early for Christmas!

Hello everyone! Today I have my card for the awesome Mo Manning challenge blog and this week we would like to see "Christmas or a Winter Holiday" theme to your projects. This weeks hostess is Franz (I sooo admire her work!) and I am happy to be able to get another Christmas card made.

This is Little Elf Kit and she has been glittered like nobody's business!

My sentiment is by LOTV and I have stamped it on black cardstock in white ink and then embossed with white embossing powder to get the chalkboard look. Papers are Basic Grey from a few years ago but I love the rich colors on them. I have used glamour dust on her trim and glamour dust gold on the star.

Okay, here is your chance to play along AND get a Christmas card made up for your stash! Plus you could win $5 to spend at the store!

November Krafty Kardmaking Kit

It's time for NEW STUFF!!! Haha!! We're kicking off the November Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps Release with our brand NEW NOVEMBER Love Letters Krafty Kardmaking Kit!

You've been lovin' our first three Kard Kits so here's our newest design!!! Do you live far away from the nearest Krafty store?? Is it hard to choose all your krafty goodies online without seeing them in person?? Or do you ever feel like you’re running out of krafty mojo?? Need a little help putting things together to make a fabulous card?? Or maybe you don’t have the time to design something yourself and want to just be able to put things together quickly! Well, we’ve taken out all the guess work for you and designed a Krafty Kardmaking Kit with everything you need to make SIX awesome cards AND have some goodies leftover to whip up some extras!

We’ve taken our krafty know-how and done all the designing for ya!! We’ve chosen and coordinated patterned papers, cardstocks, envelopes, sweet heart shaped doiles and several different types of embellishments including adhesive pearls and heart charms..... and you’re ready to go!! With the November kit, you’ll also receive YOUR CHOICE of one of our gorgeous $8 stamps!! Choose whichever one you like from our many lines and styles of rubber stamps!

Check out everything you get in this month's kit:

- Six 6x6 black cardstock bases (precut and prescored) featuring Bazzill cardstock

- 6 sweet heart shaped doilies

 1 pkg of pink adhesive pearls and several heart shaped charms!

- YOUR CHOICE of any $8 stamp from ANY of our lines of stamps....including the new ones!!

I have used one of my favorite Kraftin Kimmie stamps, this is Dandy Lion and I thought she would be perfect for this Krafty Kard kit. I haven't used all of the goodies I got so I have stuff to add to a second card too!

Additionally, our Krafty Girl design team has taken ONLY what's found in this kit (plus their own white cardstock, ink and colouring medium) and created SIX amazing card samples for you (you'll get to see them all as you hop around the links at the bottom of this post)!!! And with this kit you'll receive a gorgeous colour handout, emailed directly to you, featuring pictures of the six cards PLUS some extras and the sketches to go with each creation!! It couldn't be any easier!!

Shipping in Canada and the US is $12 PLUS when you order the kit, we are offering FREE additional shipping on anything else in the shop that you order at the same time!

Warm and Cozy

Hey everyone! So glad it is Saturday, this has been a really busy work week for me and I am looking forward to just being able to sit and craft for a bit. Plus, with it being dark so early, all I want to do is sleep when I get home, not a very productive way to be.

This week at Kraftin Kimmies our challenge is brought to us by the fabulous Karen and she would like us to go with the theme "Warm and Cozy" and with the weather we had today, that sounds good to me!

I have used one of Cheryl's images today, this is from the  Lulu and Friends stamp set, doesn't her bear look squeezable?

I think this card needs more embellishments but I just couldn't decide what to put on it, I have a hard time covering up stuff on cards, I want to SEE the pretty paper haha! So a bow, a heart and some glittery dots finish it off for me. Papers are MME Jack and Jill line I bought at Michaels.

Okay, we always love to see your take on our challenges and Kimmie is giving away a stamp to the randomly drawn winner so you can't win it if you don't play!
