{KKS} O Christmas Tree!

Welcome to another Wonderful Wednesday challenge!! We hope you can play along!! As always....it's ANYTHING GOES!! Break out your Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps and get krafty!!

I used the set O Christmas Tree! for my card, adding a button and twine over a wooden snowflake. Layout was super simple to allow the stamp to take the centre stage! I added some glossy accents and silver stickles underneath to the ornaments.

We want EVERYONE to be able to play along so your submission can use ANY stamp and 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 and you can enter on this post until December 2nd at midnight! At the end of the month one random winner will be chosen from all the submissions for the whole month and will receive a $20 Gift Card to the shop!!! What do you think.....wanna WIN?? Let's see your krafty stuff!!

{SPD} From our home to yours….

Today we have a new sketch up at SugarPea Designs! I decided to use one of the little accent stamps from the set Have an Ice Day for that small little circle focal section. Perfect for the igloo :) I also added a tiny die-cut heart underneath from one of our new Sugar Cuts dies, Layered Treat Label .

The rules are very simple…

  Create a new card or project using the SugarSketch provided.

• SugarPea Design stamps are NOT required to play along or to win but would be appreciated 
• You may rotate/flip the sketch & replace shapes – so long as the original sketch layout is recognizable

{RC} Sweet Sunday Moose

• Hey there!! I have a card to share with you today that I had a ton of fun making! I recently received my latest Reverse Confetti order- which was my fave release of all time from RC!! Loved every single thing! One of those times when you wished you were a rich gal and could buy the works….sadly a few things had to be left behind for another time ;) But I did get quite a good haul!

I've used Marley Moose and coloured him up with copics and fussy cut him out, popping up on foam squares. I pieced the scarf from the same DP that the snowflake is cut from. The snowflake die, btw, is also one of my new RC purchases- it's called Let it Snow confetti cuts. I used the middle sized snowflake.

We'd love to have you play along with Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge this week! Here is your sketch:

{KKS} Joyful Holiday

Hi everyone! Welcome to another challenge at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps!

This week Stephanie is our hostess and her challenge is Jingle Bells! So put on some Christmas classics, music or movies, and get your Christmas kraft on!!!!

I've used and image from the set Joyful Holiday, coloured her with copics and added gold stickles and glossy accents. I threw on a matching button tied with black hemp cord. Dies are by MFT. I used my 1/16" perfect ruler mini from Perfect Paper Crafting to get my borders. I pieced her wee dress and added the gold stickles to the tiny mustard polka dots on the patterned paper.

We always enjoy your creations so be sure to submit them so you can WIN a $10 gift card to the Shop!! Show us your stuff!!

We've got a dozen of our fave stamp sets on SALE this weekend in our FRUGAL FRIDAY SPECIALS at 25-50% OFF so be sure to check them out! Happy shopping'!

Now create a card, scrapbook page or altered item with a Kraftin' Kimmie Stamp or any other stamp and be sure to use our THEME as a starting point for your creation!!!

Pull out those fabby stamps and play along! Have some krafty fun and join us this week!!

Be sure to check out the blog to see more inspiration!

{SPD} Winter Wishes

I love this adorable moose from the set Merry Christmoose! I paired him up with trees from his set, as well as the trees from Have an Ice Day to create this little forest scene. Honestly, there was a ton of paper piecing and fussy cutting on this card- I think my Carpal Tunnel has flared up!! LOL! I used a few MFT dies (hills, sentiment flag), and added some snow to a few of the trees using moulding paste. It was truly a disaster! I'm not sure if I ruined the card with it or not, but it was messy and stressful and I might never do it again!

We only have a few rules…

• Play along with ANY stamp you’d like – Winner is chosen at random to keep things fair, but if the winners project features a SugarPea Designs stamp we will increase the voucher to $15
• Feel free to combine our challenge with any other challenge(s)
• Upload to your blog or other online gallery using keyword: SPD11 so we can easily find your work.
• Add your name and link to your card or project in the InLinkz shown on the BLOG!

{Reverse Confetti} North Pole Delivery!

Hey there! I have a card to show you today that I made with my new Reverse Confetti products! I put in a rather large order, as I loved all of their last release! It was hard not to buy the whole nine yards! But I did snatch up this awesome stamp set North Pole Wishes- I just love the fonts and the little envie and holly accessories! I am kinda kicking myself that I didn't order the co-ordinating die set, but I was trying to make cuts to my cart where I thought I could get away with using my scissors. I wish I would have had the dies LOL! I might add them into my next order ;)

I really thought the one piece chevron die was unique- it's called Triple Chevies. The snowflake die set, Let it Snow, also has a unique, more squarish look, so I had to get it too ;)

I also used my trusty go-to layering tools from Perfect Paper Crafting: Perfect Cutting Mat and Perfect Layers Mini to get my black 1/16th" borders. Use code Jenny5% to receive 5% off your order!

I used the November SFYTT, replaced the rectangle panels with the chevrons and moved the circle to the other side.

And winter fairies would be the most glittery-est of all the fairies, don't ya think? The snowflake accent stamp is so cool, you're gonna love it- it has a really neat look! I added it to the corner, as if she just created it with the magic of her wand! I'm not gonna lie, when I was colouring her skirt, I was inspired by the trees from the movie, The Lorax!

{KKS} Krafty Day Stamp release and rewind!

Hey everyone!! Welcome to day ONE of our NOVEMBER Kraftin' Kimmie Peeks!!! We have so many goodies in store for you and we've been dyin' to share them! So here we GO!!

Today we're doing something kind of special! Each time we have a Krafty Day Krop event, I produce a special edition stamp set for the participants! Everyone at this year's event LOVED the new COLOUR MY WORLD set which features the main image of Lexi colouring with her copic markers!! It also has TWO coordinating sentiments! This image can also be found on our NEW special edition TOTE BAGS!! We are also celebrating our past Krafty Day stamp sets today, so you'll see some of them along the way as well! They include The Krafty Stamper, Krafty Katastrophe and Best Friends!!

I've used Krafty Katastrophe on my card today! And lemme tell ya, I had no shortage of catastrophe's when I was making this! From my kid spilling a yogurt drink in my Copic bag (GASP!), to an marker explosion that nearly poured onto my mostly coloured image, to the few smudges you might notice here and there (wink wink)….Krafting is not for the faint-of-heart!

I added some glossy accents to various parts of the image. The sentiment was stamped onto an MFT flag and I added enamel dots all over (one covering an ink smudge!)

{SPD} Special Teacher

Welcome to another SPD Sugar Sketch Challenge! This week we have a really great sketch for you, and just coming off a great release, there are tons of options! We can't wait to see what you do with this sketch!

 I just love this little bear from the set Teacher's Pet. I decided to do a little chalkboard technique, embossing him in white. I then used my fingertip to add smudges of white ink, or 'chalk' to the black CS. Underneath the little DP stamped apple, I used one of the circle dies from Layered Treat Label Sugar Cuts. I used the circle and apple embellie in place of the banner shape. I added in some enamel dots and the sentiment along the bottom. I am sending this card to my littlest boy's teacher. Her name is Mrs. 'S' so I intentionally stamped the cute little apple onto the alphabet DP. 

The rules are very simple…

  Create a new card or project using the SugarSketch provided.

• SugarPea Design stamps are NOT required to play along or to win but would be appreciated 
• You may rotate/flip the sketch & replace shapes – so long as the original sketch layout is recognizable 
• Upload to your blog or other Online Gallery using Keyword: SPDSS15 so that we may check out your beautiful work

• One randomly selected winner will receive a $10 Gift Certificate to the SugarPea Designs Online Shoppe.  However, if the winning entry features a SugarPea Designs stamp we will increase the prize to $15
