{KKS} New Release HOP!

Well welcome back!! It’s Krafty RELEASE Day at KRAFTIN' KIMMIE STAMPS!! And we’re celebrating with a KRAFTY HOP!! 

Over the last few days in our Krafty Peeks, we have shared lots of AMAZING new stamps from all our artists! We’ve got something for everyone!! We've got a sweet new set with the kiddos and their pets from Cheryl Alger........it's BEST FUR-IENDS! We also have an adorable set from Emilie Goulet called PARTY MONSTERS! And of course we have an amazing new set of SIX gorgeous CIRCUS GIRLS from Annie Rodrigue that are simply stunning! OH and don’t forget the exclusive line of sentiment stamps that will coordinate with lots of images but especially our new circus girls.... called CIRCUS TRINKETS by the lovely Nicole Aspinall!!!

You will get to see most of the new images today as you sit back and enjoy our DECEMBER Krafty Hop! As you hop from blog to blog, be sure to leave a comment at each and every stop because some lucky stampers will win packages of these incredible stamps from the new release!! And when you’re done hoppin’, be sure to head over to the Kraftin’Kimmie shop, because ALL the new images are NOW available!

My card tonight features Esmerelda, my personal favorite of this release....She was so much fun to colour!!! I used my copics, as always, and added a touch of white gel pen to accent her hair, the large rose, and bits and pieces of her tattoos. And don't be intimidated by colouring these very detailed stamps, the more details, the easier they actually are to colour! There is not to much guess work in the pleats of the skirts, as Annie draws most of what you see here right into her stamp illustrations! You just have to follow along with your markers! I've had friends say 'Oh, I could never colour that' and you know, I used to think that to until I just gave it a shot!! And there is no right or wrong way. No one is going to say that the light would not hit that exact spot! lol!

I used some MFT rolled rose Dies, and hand cut some leaves to go with them! There is a ton of distressing on this one, as well as inking and sewing. And don't you just love the sentiment that goes along with this one?
The black jute is from the Ribbon Carousel.

And of course, as always, we have our Gimme Kimmies Kits available for those of you who ‘need it all’!! The stamps are grouped together by artist and are available at a discount, but only for a limited time!!

***ONE LAST THING!!! Our HUGE RETIREMENT SALE is still going on right now at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps with so many stamps up to 75% OFF and some stamps as low as $1.50!! Say what?? Yep!! We need to make room for all the new stamps coming our way in 2013, so we're retiring a lot of stamps!! Keep in mind, once they're gone, they're gone and some have already sold out!!! So scoop up the ones you've had your eye on or pass your wishlist over to a loved one!! What a great way to fill your stocking!!!

Now let's get hoppin'!!
