Wednesday WOW!!

I love hopping around the blogosphere and seeing Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps everywhere!! It's such a joy to see them being enjoyed and crafted with by stampers around the world!!

Everyone seems to love the Mermaid Collection that was released last month and yesterday I found this gorgeous design by Amy Young before she'd even entered it into our Beautiful Bows challenge!!!



Amy has used the sweet Calliope on her card with a very simple layout, so the focus is on the image. Of course her colouring is incredible and she's added some wonderful ribbon along with a spray of pearls!! How perfect!!

We love to see your Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps designs and the Krafty Girls are always on the lookout for your creations....so keep uploading them to your blogs, to Splitcoast, to our Facebook page and of course, keep entering into our weekly challenges!!

Happy kraftin'!!

Gorgeous Gabrielle!!

Happy Monday, stampers! Let's start another beautiful summer week with some eye candy! How's that??

This weekend as I was blurfing around (that's blog surfing...hehe), I saw some incredible creations by Kraftin' Kimmie customers! It's so exciting to see our images being enjoyed by so many and it's always fun to see how you create with them!



I found this stunning design by the lovely and ever so talented, Suzanne Dean!! She used the lovely Gabrielle, having a cup of tea. I just adore the soft blue/lilac colours and the layout is perfect. And of course, the depth of colour she achieves with her Copic markers is simply incredible! Thanks so much Suzanne, for letting me share your gorgeous artwork!



As I'm hopping around the blogosphere in the coming weeks, I'm going to be keeping my eyes peeled for more Kraftin' Kimmie kreations! Maybe YOU could be featured here NEXT!!!

Now don't forget that you can join in the stamping fun with this week's KKStamps Challenge, which is the post below this one.....AND later on this week (Thursday to be exact) we'll be starting some wonderful Krafty Peeks for the July release images! What do you think we have up our inky sleeves this time?? You'll just have to wait and SEEEEEEE!!

I Spy with My Little Eye.....

....something that is CUTE!!! While hip hoppin' around the krafty blogs the other day I spied this adorable creation by Jessica!!



Not only is is sweet to look at, it's totally practical too!!! Jessica has made this wonderful book featuring Gabrielle on the cover to keep her Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps in, complete with cling sheets and index sheets and everything!!



Here are a few pictures to show you and you can get all the details on how she made this on her blog!



Now doesn't that just inspire you to make Anything But a Card for this week's challenge?? You still have lots of time to join in the fun and if you do, you could win some Kraftin' Kimmie rubbah!!!

Happy kraftin'!

Kustomer Kreations!!

While bee-boppin' around blogland this week (and through the assistance of my highly trained Krafty Girls...heehee) I came across a couple of fantastic kreations made by some of our krafty kustomers. What? Are all the k's too much?? Haha!

First, Krafty Girl Tara came across this amazing easel card made by Claire!! It features one of our newest Cindy and Mindy images called Bench Friends!! I love the vintage-y feel with those gorgeous papers and pretty flowers!



Next, Krafty Girl Elaine pointed out another sweet design by Judy which features the new You Lift Me Up image! Don't Cindy and Mindy look like they're having fun?? What soft, pretty colours and I'm such a sucker for stitching and gorgeous ribbon!!



We're going to be featuring more of our Kustomer Kreations in the future, so keep posting those Kraftin' Kimmie designs!!! We're watchin'!!!

I Spy...........

While the Krafty Girls are taking a little bit of a holiday break, I thought we might take a look at some lovely designs that we've been spotting all over the blogosphere!!


First off, take a look at this simply scrumptious design by Caz!! She's made a glorious card using Francesca and those papers just make me think CUPCAKES!!



Next we have a stunning creation by Janice!! She's used that adorable mouse Maxwell and done some amazing sponging to make him look as though he's having a nighttime campfire!!




And lastly there's this yummy design by Fran!!! The colours are perfect and Bernadette looks gorgeous! It just make me feel all warm and wonderful!!!




I would love to see some new creations using the latest release images from Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps! But I don't have time to do as much blog hopping as I'd like to! So if you see any amazing cards or projects out there, let me know!!!
