{KKS} Love Story

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

I used one of the lovely sentiment images from the set LOVE STORY SENTIMENTS. Dies are by MFT, as well as the wee yellow button. I made this card because summer is always the season for weddings and I have a few coming up! 

Now to share some sad news with you all. This is my last challenge as a Krafty Girl. I know. It's a shocker. I've decided to focus on life with my 3 boys! They keep me so busy that I don't have much time to commit to design deadlines and the responsibilities that come with being on a full time DT. I'll still be crafting when I get the itch, so don't give up on me completely!!! 

 I've been on the KKS team for a LONG time. It's my longest running team and its been a blast to work with such a great group of ladies with the most amazing products to boot! I am going to miss everyone so much! And you, the Kraftin' Kimmie fans are some of the best! Your comments and support have always been appreciated more than you know! You are a pretty awesome group of people :) Thanks for that! Thank you Kimmie for taking me under your wing when I was young and new to the stamping world- when I was basically a stamping-nobody LOL! I still might be one of those, I'm not sure sometimes LOL! Anyway, it's been a great ride and now I'll be looking in over the fence! Can't wait to see next months release and do some 'shoppin and hoppin' as customer! 

Here's some more KKS information:

We always enjoy your creations so be sure to submit them so you can have a chance to WIN a $20 gift card to the Shop!! Show us your stuff!!

{SPD} July Sweet2Repeat Hop!

Hi Crafty Friends!

It’s time again for our Sweet2Repeat Blog Hop !  Now that so many of you have our June Product Release in your hot little hands, our Pod Squad of designers have geared up to inspire you with even MORE creative possibilities featuring our newest and hottest products!

For my card, I used the amazing large lettered stamp from the set HB2U, as well as the balloons and string from that set. I'm telling you, at $12.99 you NEED this set!! So cheap and easy to whip up a fantastic birthday card!!! I added some bits of sequins from the Sea Spray mix.

 Here's the inside of my card! It features a sentiment from the set Celebrate all the Things as well as the balloons from above mentioned set! You might notice the the balloons look a bit different- just goes to show you how different paper takes on ink. This is a cheap recollections brand from Michaels that I use for card bases and occasionally the inside of my coloured CS bases so theres white CS to write your message on. the front white CS is X-press It Blending Card from Copics. 

Would you like to WIN a $20 gift certificate to spend on some SugarPea Designs of your own?  Please visit with each of our design team members listed below and leave a comment for your chance to win!

I made this card for my oldest son- he's a HUGE book dragon! He's gonna love this card :) I love the sentiments that come with this set!
