Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps - Sneak Peeks day three with a new challenge!

Hi everyone and happy weekend!! It's day three of sneak peeks for Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps, and today we are showing you some sneaks of the new release of Moonlight Whispers by Annie Rodrigue!! And this release will make your heart bloom! Annie has created an amazing array of flower girls for us! Oh my gosh, they are so beautiful and amazing to color too! Now since it's Saturday, it's also time for a brand new challenge, and this week we have an awesome sketch for you!

Now I chose to feature not one, but TWO of the new images today ( I can't help it, they're gorgeous!) The first one follows the sketch challenge, and I used the beautiful Peony!

Peony is stamped with Memento ink onto Cryogen White paper and then colored with Copic markers. I used BV0 series to color her, and then brightened it up with V01 on the tips. The sentiment comes with her. DP's  are from Bearly Mine Designs (digital) matted with Bazzill cardstock,  flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts, and the ribbon is May Arts silk.

The second card features Daisy Mae!  I don't know about you, but daisies are one of my favorite flowers. I just think they're such a happy flower! So I just couldn't resist coloring her up for you as well.

Daisy Mae is also stamped with Memento ink onto Cryogen White paper and colored with Copic markers. She is then cut out with oval Nestabilities and then layered onto petite scalloped oval Nestabilities. The papers which came from my scrap pile are by Jilly Bean, and they're matted with Bazzill cardstock.  A Martha Stewart border punch was used for a little added interest, and I just layered up some old, old flowers and stuck a Wild Orchid Crafts carnation into the center of them. Once again, the wonderful sentiment comes with her.

Please pop over to Kraftin' Kimmie's Blog to see the rest of the Krafty Girls and Guests take on the awesome sketch, and then visit their blogs to leave some love. Kimmie will be awarding two very lucky random commenters a fabulous prize of three new flower girls!! WOOHOO!!! Then please be sure and join us back here again tomorrow for the big Blog Hop Release! Don't forget that all these fabulous stamps will be available for purchase on Sunday!! Thanks so much for stopping by to see me today, and hope to see you back again tomorrow! Hugs!

Kraftin' Kimmie - Double Trouble!!

Hi friends!! I LOOOOVE the weekend! LOL! I can guarantee you that I am snoozing away when this posts, and loving every second of it. :-)  It's time for a new challenge at Kraftin Kimmie's Challenge Blog, and this weeks hostess with the mostest is the awesome Cheryl Valadez! Now Cheryl gave us a real chalenge this week asking us to use two Kraftin' Kimmie images on our card or project.  Well I struggled a little bit with this one until I was going through my stamps and laid my eyes on Florence. WOOHOO! I knew immediately what I would do! And here it is

So as I said, I used the adorable Florence from Kraftin' Kimmie's Moonlight Whispers line by Annie Rodrigue. I paired her with one of the birds from Tweets and Twitters 1  by Emilie Goulet. They go perfectly together, don't ya think?  They're stamped with Memento ink onto Cryogen White paper and colored with Copic markers. I just extended some of the lines with my Copic Multiliner. The papers are from Nitwit Collections (Summer Splash) matted with Bazzill cardstock and then machine stitched. The clouds are dies from Magnolia and PTI.

Please be sure and visit Kraftin' Kimmie's Challenge Blog to see the rest of the gorgeous creations by the design team. Then we'd love it if you'd join us in the challenge. Cheryl used both Super Star and Gadget Girl on her card, and she chose Gadget Girl to be the prize for the lucky winner. Don't forget you have to use a Kraftin' Kimmie image to win!! 

Kimmie also has her Frugal Friday specials going on too! Check it out here.  Be sure to grab them while you still can!!

Thanks so much for stopping by to see me today, and hope to see you back again soon! Hugs!

And here's my card using the awesome image called RESCUE RANGER!!!

Oh my gosh, isn't she fabulous??!! And she's ready to rescue anyone from any kind of trouble. Whether it be heartaches or a sore throat and the sniffles. Rescue Ranger is here to save the day!!  She's stamped with Memento ink onto Cryogen white paper and colored with Copic markers. I then fussy cut her out and then outlined her with my black marker to eliminate the white edges showing.  I put her on a frame cut with the Cricut Expression and Bazzill cardstock. The DP's are Basic Grey. There's machine stitching in there, and I added some fabulous ribbon.

Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps - Sneak Peek and Challenge Day!!

WHEW! I had a little bit of scare yesterday! I lost my blog for a bit and couldn't sign into blogger! I figured it out about midnight last night and was finally able to access everything again.. I'm telling you, that was NOT a fun time!! But it's all good now, and it's Saturday which means it's Day Three for Sneak Peeks of the new December stamps from Kraftin' Kimmie AND it's time for a new weekly challenge as well!!!  Featured in our sneak peeks today are the new AWESOME stamps from Annie Rodrigue!  For the new challenge, we've got a fabulous sketch from the wickedly talented Krafty Girl Michele!

If  you don't know yet,  the theme of Annie's stamps this month is Alice in Wonderland!! FABULOUS!!!  For my card today, I've used the Dormouse! Can you see that he's hiding Alice in the teacup (see her hair that's giving her away?)

The image is stamped with Memento ink onto Cyrogen White and then colored with Copic markers. I used circle and petite scalloped circle Nesties to cut out the image, and then machine stitched around it. I've also used one of the awesome Wonderland Sentiments on my card!  The DP's are Graphic 45 Halloween in Wonderland. matted with Bazzill cardstock.  The scalloped part of the sketch was created using a Magnolia Doohickey Die.

The two cutouts behind the Dormouse were simply cut out from another one of the DP's and then matted onto cardstock. I added a Tim Holtz metal corner and cut a couple tabs with the Cricut and the Fabulous Finds cartridge. Those were finished off with a couple threaded vintage buttons.  I added some crinkly ribbon topped with another buton and some twine.

A little peek at the inside too. There is a lot of machine stitching on this one! Today is the last day for sneak peeks, which means the full December release will be available for purchase tomorrow at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps!!! Believe me, I will be putting in my order! LOL!  Be sure to visit all the Krafty Girls and Guests and leave some love at each stop! You can find them by visiting Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps Blog. Kimmie will be providing TWO lucky commenters with a prize of three of Annie's stamps!!! So what the heck are you waiting for??!! LOL! Thanks so much for stopping by to see me today, and hope to see you back tomorrow for the big Blog Hop to celebrate the release! You won't want to miss it!! Hugs!
