October Kard Kits at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps!

Do you live far away from the nearest Krafty store?? Is it hard to choose all your krafty goodies online without seeing them in person?? Or do you ever feel like you’re running out of krafty mojo?? Need a little help putting things together to make a fabulous card?? Or maybe you don’t have the time to design something yourself and want to just be able to put things together quickly! Well, we’ve taken out all the guess work for you and designed a Krafty Kardmaking Kit with everything you need to make SIX awesome cards AND have some goodies leftover to whip up some extras!

We’ve taken our krafty know-how and done all the designing for ya!! We’ve chosen and coordinated patterned papers, cardstocks, envelopes, cork adhesive paper and several different types of embellishments including glittery snowflake buttons and charms..... and you’re ready to go!! With the October kit, you’ll also receive YOUR CHOICE of one of our gorgeous $8 stamps!! Choose whichever one you like from our many lines and styles of rubber stamps!

Check out everything you get in this month's kit:

- Six 6x6 cream cardstock bases (precut and prescored) featuring Bazzill cardstock
- Six 6.5 x 6.5 square white envelopes
- Twelve 6x6 patterned papers – 2 of each of 6 different designs featuring the Snow Day collection by Bo Bunny!
- 8 6x6 coordinating coloured cardstock sheets (Aqua, Spring Willow, Burgundy, Mysterious Teal) featuring Bazzill Card Shoppe 100 lb Cardstock and regular Bazzill
- 8 yds of twine (4 yds each of blue/green and tan/white by Maya Road)
- 1 sheet of coordinating TAGS by Bo Bunny
- 2 6x6 sheets of adhesive CORK paper!
- 1 pkg of assorted glitter snowflake buttons and charms!
- YOUR CHOICE of any $8 stamp from ANY of our lines of stamps....including the new ones!!

Speaking of $8 stamps, I've once again jumped into the Way Back Machine and used one of my very first Kraftin' Kimmie images...Clara!  I remember seeing her on a card 2 or 3 years ago and absolutely falling in love with her.  What a sweet beauty!  Well, Clara has since been retired, but she is now back in the shop for a limited time.  

Additionally, our Krafty Girl design team have taken ONLY what's found in this kit (plus their own white cardstock, ink and colouring medium) and created SIX amazing card samples for you (you'll get to see them all as you hop around the links at the bottom of this post)!!! And with this kit you'll receive a gorgeous colour handout, emailed directly to you, featuring pictures of the six cards PLUS some extras and the sketches to go with each creation!! It couldn't be any easier!!

Your Krafty Kit will be shipped in a sturdy box so that your goodies are nice and safe!! The VALUE of each kit is over $32 but our price this month is $25!! Shipping in Canada and the US is $12 PLUS when you order the kit, we are offering FREE additional shipping on anything else in the shop that you order at the same time! So go ahead and load up with paper pads, ezmount, more stamps etc. because the shipping is covered! All your goodies will be shipped together in a box for only $12.

And this fantastic kit will be released on Saturday night at our LIVE online release party starting at 6:30pm EST on our facebook page, along with all of our new stamps being previewed this week!! We hope you'll join us for all the fun!

Now hop around and check out the SIX awesome cards and a couple of insides plus some extra things like some sweet tags, that the Krafty Girls have made to inspire you!

It's Anything Goes at Kenny K!!! Mid-week Inspiration!

Hey, all!  Time for my second post this weekend.  I am on a roll!  WOO HOO!  Plus, I did a bit of guest blogging on my husband's food blog.  If you care to check that out, here's a link.  I used to have a food blog, Risotto Stone, and let me tell you, those 11 posts were some of my best...HA!  Yep, it was short-lived, but I did enjoy it.  I'll be popping in on Kirk's blog each week and adding my 2 cents, so please be sure to stop by and say "hi" from time to time over there :) 

At Kenny K it's time to help out with some mid-week inspiration!  The theme for this challenge is Anything Goes, so I really must insist that you play along ;)  Pretty please!

I used Cabaret on my card.  I've been dyeing to color her up for awhile.  She is supah-sassy!  

As always, fabulous prizes to be had for this challenge!

Our fab sponsors this fortnight are:

with the winner's choice of 5 free digis

also

Loves Rubber Stamps - 1 stamp to the value of $10

and

 Marianne Designs offers

Until next time, stay crafty!

A new challenge at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps: Back in Black!

Copic colors used:  skin-E00, E000, E0000, R20, E11, BV00 hair-C7, C5, C3, C1, C00, 0 dress-C7, C5, C3, C1 orange accents-YR07, YR04, YR00 blue green accents- BG49, BG13, BG10 purple accents-BV04, BV01, BV00 ground-C7, C5, C3, C1, C00, 0 background halo and dots-YG13, YG01, YG00, YG0000 gray shadow around image-C3, C1

Hello, Bloggers of Blogland!  Welcome back!  I have been MIA for a bit.  We had a lovely visit with family the week before last, which included a relaxing afternoon at the St. James Tea Room, a few delectable meals out, a few delicious meals in, a canning class, and a full day of non-stop action prepping, cooking, and serving at the Disc-It Round Up charity event.  Whew!  I bet our guests were happy to get home, so they could rest...LOL!  Thank you, Diane, Wanda, and Marilyn for traveling all this way to work your butts off.  You have know idea how much we appreciated it!

Well, you've no doubt stopped in to see what's brewing at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps this week.  It's the 200th challenge and Kimmie has cooked up a special prize.  The winner of this week's challenge will receive one of our fabulous paper packages AND a stamp!!!  YEP!  That's pretty darn great! 

This week our hostess is SHARON!! And her challenge is Back in BLACK!! So create a card, scrapbook page or altered item with a Kraftin' Kimmie stamp that features anything BLACK on it!! Have some krafty fun and join us this week because we'd LOVE to see your KKS designs. 

I pulled out my absolute FAVORITE KKS stamp for this challenge...Charlotte!  She's a sweet gal with a bit of larceny in her blood, so I loved the idea of giving her a Halloween-ish spin.  She reminds me of that oddball niece that you don't want to leave alone with the puppies or kittens, because in the blink of an eye she'll have them stuffed into doll clothes and pushing them around in a baby carriage much to their furry chagrin.  Oh sure, it's kind of cute, but it's kind of weird at the same time and not quite right.  Yeah, you feel me.    

Don't forget that you have until Sunday night to submit your creations to our World Kardmaking Day Challenges!!! There are six fabulous challenges to choose from and one of them you can even WIN a spot on the KRAFTY GIRLS Design Team!!!! Who's playin'??

ALSO, don't forget that our BIRTHDAY BASH SALE ends on Sunday night!! There are over 140 of our fave stamps and stamp sets on SPECIAL 20-60% OFF !! And remember there's a present for YOU too! Every order over $30 will receive a special goodie in their package!! Could be a stamp, could be some twine, some adhesive pearls or rhinestones, could be a magnet or keychain....it will be a fun surprise!!! But only while supplies last!!

PLUS we've got lots of brand NEW 6x6 PAPER PADS in stock!! Lots of holiday pads by Carta Bella, Echo Park, Lawn Fawn, Bo Bunny and more!! Scoop some up along with your new stamps!!! OH and a few of them are on SALE too!

Check out the wonderful creations by our Krafty Girls and Guests featuring this week's challenge!! If you join us and play along, you could WIN a Kraftin' Kimmie Stamp and paper pack!!!

Happy kraftin'!!
