This week the theme is:

Talk Nerdy to Me
OR
Back to School!


Hello! Larisa here and this week I'm challenging you to make a fun "nerdy" card.  With school starting back I thought it was the perfect time to create something that celebrates, glasses, books, learning, and pocket protectors!  Haha!
For my card, I chose one of the girls from Girl Power.  I stamped her out and colored her up with my Copics.  Then I die cut her into a fun shape and stamped out a sentiment from the Smarty Pants set.  I die cut several pieces of "school themed" patterned paper and layered them all to create the background of my card.  Then I popped my image on top and added a couple of fun embellishments. 

I can't wait to see what you all create!  Be sure to submit your krafty design for your chance to WIN!  You have until Friday, September 14th to enter this challenge!  Keep in mind, all entries are welcome but you must use a

 Kraftin' Kimmie Stamp in order to win.

Each Saturday we post a new challenge and you can enter as many times as you like!!!  And each submission during the month will enter you into the monthly prize which will be....

a $40 gift voucher to spend in the krafty shop!!!

What do you think?  Worth playin' for?  ;)

We've also got a fun sketch for your inspiration for September!  You don't have to use it but if you need a little extra kickstart in your mojo, feel free to use it any time!

Don't miss our new RUBBAH RERELEASES!!!
Halloween Lulu and Cave Kids are BACK in pretrimmed unmounted natural red rubbah and you can scoop them up NOW along with this weekend's Frugal Friday Specials!!!
Happy shoppin' and happy kraftin'!

Who Loves RUBBAH?!

Woot woot!  Y'all are really enjoying our latest rubber rereleases featuring Halloween Trinkets and Spook-tacular Sentiments.......SO we decided it's time for another
 Rubber Rerelease!!

As you know, Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps has been going strong for 8.5 years and we have produced hundreds of amazing stamp sets but we can't keep them all in stock forever!  So sometimes we have to retire them....but once in a while, it's super fun to bring back an older stamp set in red rubber!!

We are THRILLED to be bringing back not ONE...but TWO
of our fabulously cute stamp sets by artist Cheryl Grant!

First up is.....HALLOWEEN LULU!!!

Little Lulu is all dressed up for some frightening fun!  This set includes three adorable main images plus four sweet coordinating sentiments!  It will arrive as completely unmounted PRETRIMMED high quality red rubbah!!!

And secondly we have......CAVE KIDS!!!

This fantastic set of prehistoric kiddos features Lulu, Lexi and Lucas and let's just say.....it ROCKS!!!
The set features the three kids plus their little dino pal plus seven coordinating sentiments!  The set will arrive as completely unmounted PRETRIMMED high quality red rubbah!!!

I ask you....what's better than pretrimmed rubbah?? You can use these stamps with double sided tape and an acrylic block OR we also carry EZmount foam sheets if you prefer to mount your rubber with that little bit of extra cushion!

And guess what else??! We've got MORE amazingness in store for you because our FRUGAL FRIDAY SPECIALS are also up in the shop!  A small selection of stamp sets on up to 40% OFF but only for the weekend and only while supplies last! So load up those carts and get FREE SHIPPING too when CAN/US customers reach $100!

And don't forget to join us on the Krafty Friends facebook page on Saturday at 9am EST for our Inky Weekend event!  There will be challenges, prizes, videos and specials!!!  Hope you can join us for all the Krafty FUN!

Happy stampin'!!

Hi folks...Krafty Girl Melanie reporting for hostess duty this week! As you read earlier, our theme this week is Girls Just Want To Have Fun! There are so many of our stamps that work for this challenge, so it will be really easy to play along! I combined two awesome stamp sets to make a bookmark. I stamped the boxer from FRIENDS TO THE FINISH and watercoloured both the image and the background. I then added a sentiment from our HAPPY THOUGHTS set...such a great inspirational set full of encouraging sentiments! The sentiment was stamped in our WICKED BLACK INK. 

Hope you plan to play along! 

Thanks for visiting!

Have a fantastic weekend. :)

Welcome to an Inspirational Wednesday post!

Each week one of our amazing design team members will be here to inspire you to get creative with your krafty stamps!

This week Krafty Girl, Larisa is sharing her creation with the BOOK DRAGON clear stamp set!

Hello! Larisa here.  I chose Book Dragon for my inspirational card because I thought he was perfect for the back-to-school season and he's adorable!!!  I mean come on... a dragon that reads! Too cute!  For my card, I colored my dragon up in yellows and cut him out on my Scan N Cut 2.  Then I die cut several pieces of school-themed paper and layered it all together.  I popped my dragon on top using some foam tape and finished it off with a few enamel dots!  I just love how fun and bright this card is, perfect for any kiddo going back to school!
