April Showers Bring Kraftin' Kimmie New Goodies!

Well, we've finally made it to the end of release week, and all the new stamps from Kraftin' Kimmie are now available to be purchased!! Thanks so much for taking the time to follow along and comment this week as we revealed all out wonderful new sets like: Snow White and Cinderella from Annie, Puddle Pals from Emilie, and the set I used today, Rainy Day Lulu from Cheryl Grant!!

As you can see I have used a much more muted color pallette for today's card. I am using this week's color challenge from the Can You Case It challenge to use Sky Blue, Grey, Brown and White. I thought it would make a great combo for a dreary, rainy day scene...and I was right(I think!!)!!

You can check out the CYCI Challenge at our Facebook page!


Well, that is it for me for now!! Thanks for stopping by and checking out my work! Have fun on the hop, and be sure to tell my teammates how much you like their work....they do a great job and deserve all the praise!!

April Kraftin' Kimmie Peeks-Day Two!

Welcome to Day TWO of our April Krafty Peeks
at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps!

How about another fairytale princess???
We've got another stunning design by artist Annie Rodrigue!
It's CINDERELLA!

To say I had a ton of fun making this card would be an understatement....I mean, WOAH, I had so much fun!! I used Melanie's favorite color PURPLE(Melanie hates purple, but it's my favorite so I like to give her all the crap), and some blue that is so close to purple you could call it purple and I don't think anyone would argue with you! I also used a GORGEOUS paper I found while cutting all my SU DSP packs into 6x6 that's silver and white striped...I used it for all the stars....it's shiny and so yummy. On her dress, I imagined it was in the process of being made, so the color wasn't complete, and the stars and swirls have stickles on them, which I'm not sure are a think anymore, but I still have them, so I used them(hello, my name is Jessie, and I am a craft hoarder). Hanging from my silver seam binding, I hand thread crystal beads and sequins to make some pretty dangly thingies(that's a technical term right there).  There are other things going on on this card like May Arts ribbon, brads...stuff...but I have a migraine and I need sleep.

This is such a magical image featuring the sweet princess and her gorgeous ball gown!  Plus the set comes with three fabulous sentiments!

All the Krafty Team and Guests listed below have lots of beautiful creations to share with you today featuring the  CINDERELLA stamp set!  You'll see her in so many different colours and scenes!!  Be sure to hop around and leave lots of love at each and every stop because one lucky commenter will WIN a gift voucher to the krafty shop!  The winner will be announced at the LIVE Online Release Party on Saturday at 2pm EST, so be sure to join us for all the krafty fun!

Well that is it for me for now!! Thanks for stopping by my blog on your way through the hop(Kimmie put me first because, well, she was shocked I was ready on time), and I hope you are enjoying the peeks so far! Have a great day, and see you tomorrow for more fun!!

April Kraftin' Kimmie Peeks-Day One!

Welcome to the April Release of amazing new spring stamp sets at
Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps!!

The first stamp set we are sharing with you might look a little familiar because you may have seen a little peek of this gorgeous new set by artist Annie Rodrigue!  It just happens to be the Secret Krafty Klub set that we sent out to the members in February!
It's SNOW WHITE!

I decided when I started to color Snow, that, well, there is no way she only owns that one dress! I mean, wouldn't that be terrible to have to wear the same ol dress day in and day out....so needless to say, she is not in her traditional primary colored outfit. Instead I went with a Pink and White dress, and had a ton of fund making a card that I thought was worthy of her gorgeousness!!

Here is a look at the full set:

What a precious scene of this sweet princess with her woodland friends!  It's a beautiful big image to colour up along with three sweet new sentiments!  And think of the fabulous scenes you could make with clouds and grass and some background dies and stamps!!

All the Krafty Team and Guests listed below have lots of joyful designs to share with you today featuring the

 SNOW WHITE stamp set!  Be sure to hop around and leave lots of love at each and every stop because one lucky commenter will WIN a gift voucher to the krafty shop!  The winner will be announced at the LIVE Online Release Party on Saturday, so don't miss it!

Krafty Komeback-Bathing with Brigette!

It's time for a Krafty Komeback!!!  

As you may or may not know, lots of our rubber stamp sets have long retired and are not available for purchase anymore since we switched to the new Krafty Klear sets. Well, we've decided to re-release a few of your faves in clear! Today we're announcing a new one!

This wonderful stamp set features one of our most popular images from artist Annie Rodrigue!  She looks so relaxed soaking in that sumptuous bubble bath!!!  It's BRIGITTE!

Right now, I wish this was me....especialy those legs...amirite?!!

Brigette looks like she is the picture of relaxation in her bath, and I added a little flooring to "ground" her. She's been out all night, so it's time to wash off the glitter, and you can see it still sparkling in her hair(and on the bubbles, and her eyes....hey, it's glitter, the herpes of craft supplies). 

Here is a look at the full set!

AND she's so much fun to colour!  And what a fabulous set to remind our friends and family to take time for themselves and to RELAX!
