Happy Christmas Eve...

Happy Christmas Eve everyone!  I just had to quickly share with you one of the gifts I made this year for my children's teachers.  I got the idea from one of my fellow Krafty girls Jenny!  Thanks for the inspiration ;)  I picked up these cool hot chocolate cups (mini whisk included) and simply created my own insert.  I used the adorable stamp 'Miss Information' available from Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps HERE!  I also used a sentiment from the Holiday Trinket set to stick on the top of the lid. 
 
 
They were super fun and easy to make and really made the sweetest little gifts.  I filled them with some chocolates and some After Eight Hot chocolate mix.  Yum!
 
Wishing you and your family a very Merry Christmas and a safe and happy New Year.

KKS December Sneek Peek Day 1...

Hi everyone!  Today is a special day as we are kicking off the *New* DECEMBER Kraftin’ Kimmie Stamps previews! 

First off, we’d like to introduce you to a beautiful new set of Trinkets!!! We are very excited to share with you our GORGEOUS….CIRCUS TRINKETS!!! What a FUN set of awesome new stamps!!  These circular sentiment stamps have been created and designed by the totally talented Krafty Girl, Nicole Aspinall!! They are made especially to fit in your 1 3/8 and 1 ¾ inch punches, for quick and easy cutting!!!  This month we are releasing the CIRCUS Trinkets set which includes EIGHT trinkets in each set with four of each size and they come as both positive and negative images, so you can use your black or brown ink with the positive stamps and use your coloured inks with the negative ones!! You will get the set as a completely unmounted full sheet of deeply etched grey rubber. A lot of the Krafty Girls are cardmakers and we have found these to be such a quick and easy way to add a sentiment to our creations or to use as the focal point on your cards! They are also perfect for your Smashbook pages and your scrapbook pages, not to mention your altered items and tags!! No stamper's stash is complete without them! Today we have awesome samples that the Krafty Girls have put together for you....and be sure to comment on each and every stop because one lucky stamper is going to WIN the new CIRCUS TRINKETS set!!!
 
For my preview card today I used one of the brand new CIRCUS TRINKETS (You are the ticket my friend) and decided to use it with an older image called Pippa Popcorn!  I thought the two worked well together and I'm planning on sticking a movie gift card inside!  These fun Trinket stamps won't be released until this Sunday, but until then you can check out more peeks below!  Thanks for stopping by!!!
