Release Day and a big Blog Hop!

Do YOU know what day it is??? It’s Krafty RELEASE Day!! Today Kraftin’ Kimmie Stamps is releasing their new October stamps and there’s SO much to SEE!!

Over the last few days in our Krafty Peeks, we have shared lots of FUN new stamps for you to get inky with! We’ve got something for everyone!! There is a fun new trio of SNOWPEEPS from Cheryl Alger ! We have a super fun set of five animals having fun in the white stuff from Emilie Goulet called the WINTER WONDERLAND collection! And of course we have an amazing new set of six EVERYDAY GIRLS from Annie Rodrigue!

You will get to see most of the new images today as you sit back and enjoy our OCTOBER Krafty Hop! If you want to start from the beginning, just head over to the Kraftin’ Kimmie Challenge Blog! As you hop from blog to blog, be sure to leave a comment at each and every stop because some lucky stampers will win packages of these incredible stamps from the new release!! And when you’re done hoppin’, be sure to head over to the Kraftin’Kimmie shop, because ALL the new images are NOW available!

And of course, as always, we have our Gimme Kimmies Kits available for those of you who ‘need it all’!! The stamps are grouped together by artist and are available at a discount, but only for a limited time!!

So for my card/s today I'm showcasing Kool Kitty from artist Emilie Goulet. There are two cards because I did the first one up and wasn't happy with it even after I took the picture, so after stewing about it for a bit, I carefully lifted Kool Kitty off the first card and created a whole new one that I was much happier with.

1st attempt: (I found the image was too big for the smaller card size, it still would make for a cute little note card):
2nd attempt: Still not 100% happy but I liked it much better!


The inside sentiment reads, "You call this a winter wonderland?" I coloured this cool cat up with my copics and cut him out leaving a little bit of an outline. I used some new paper from BoBunny's Blitzen collection and used my giant scallop punch on all the papers. My Bow Easy helped me make the pretty double bow, then using dimensionals I popped him right along the bottom of the ribbon.



I hope you're enjoying yourself so far! Now hop on over to Carole's awesome blog and see the wonderful creation she has to show you! Don't forget to leave your comments! There's some very Krafty Rubber to be won!



Thanks for stopping by!
