Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps October Krafty Peeks...Day TWO!

  Welcome back!

Did you enjoy yesterday's Peeks?
Well, we are back with MORE Christmas fun!

Today we are spotlighting a new stamp set 
from artist Michelle Houghton called HOLIDAY POSTAGE!!

Who's totally into the postage craze right now?

I'm in LOVE with Michelle's images and sentiments that fit inside the frames!

I love this postage trend and as fun as these images are to colour, I think my favourite part of this card was adding the 5 cent and 1 cent stamps to complete the postage look, the perfect finishing detail.

The images are all Copic coloured and cut with my Scan n' Cut machine. I added the coloured images to the stamps with foam adhesive. I've used the postage die from the Gina K Designs Master Layouts 14 for the card front the stamps are adhered to.

I used a snow marker on the chimney and Santa's legs to add some texture as well and heat embossed the sentiment with gold embossing powder.

I finished embellishing with some Altenew Antique Gold Sequins and then layered the panel over a Spellbinders Brushed Gold panel and Glitter foam card stock.

As you head out on today's Krafty Hop you'll get to enjoy lots of gorgeous creations from our Krafty Team featuring HOLIDAY POSTAGE and also our incredibly festive new HOLIDAY ORNAMENTS set of layering stencils in combination with some of our other incredible products such as our Krafty Kolours Hybrid Inks!

Be sure to come back to the blog and/or the Krafty Friends facebook group each day this week to see all the new products from our October Release!  Then join us on Saturday, October 12th at NOON ET (note the time change from our usual) for our LIVE Release Party when all the new stamp sets and stencils will be available!!

Happy hoppin' and see YOU tomorrow for more awesome goodies!

The super cute ghosts are coloured with Copic markers and then layered over the edge of the stenciled card front with foam adhesive. I stamped the butterfly spiderwebs & sentiment with Wicked Black hybrid ink. The white butterflies are stamped with white pigment ink.

Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps August Krafty Peeks! Day ONE...S'more Fun!

Who's ready for some brand NEW Krafty Goodies?

It's time to bring you NEW stamp sets and layering stencils
from Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps!

In case you haven't heard, we have moved the releases to every other month but the same number of wonderful products!

So we will be sharing FOUR new stamp sets (including an Autumn Krafty Komeback) and TWO new sets of stencils over the course of this week!

Today we are SO excited to kick things off with a sweet and toasty stamp set from artist Neda Sadreddin called S'MORE FUN!!  

I Copic coloured the image, die cut with my Brother Scan 'n Cut and layered with foam adhesive over the die cut card front. The card front is comprised of 3 layers, the inked layer is a scrap piece of white card stock I applied "leftover" ink to. I just continued to ink the card stock with my ink blending brush until I wasn't able to get any more colour off the brush. 

I used the Mama Elephant Into The Woods Die set to cut the forest background, on layer cut from kraft card stock and the top layer cut from 49 & Market Vintage Artistry Ledger paper. I layered some elements from the Nature Study Mushroom and Foliage Laser Cut Elements within the die cuts and "grounded" our adventuring girl on a Laser Cut Element branch. 

As you head out on today's Krafty Hop you'll get to enjoy lots of amazing creations from our Krafty Team featuring S'MORE FUN and our totally unique new OUT OF THIS WORLD stencil in combination with some of our other incredible products such as our Krafty Kolours Hybrid Inks!
