Happy Holidays - - Let's Look at 2024

 Happy Holidays!!!

I hope everyone is enjoying this festive time of year, full of love, laughter and making memories.

I love to take the time to have a look back at the previous year - remembering the fun projects - so let's get started

Gear Up - February release - I had fun with a shaped card & die to create this awesome robot themed card.

March brought Fairies & Furries a truly whimsical stamp set & so fun to colour up. 

What could be cuter than a caterpillar munching on yummy strawberries?  This one I used Prismacolour pencils and loved the outcome.

Hello Little One is a perfect set for baby cards, baby scrapbook pages and more.  I used up some "stash" embellishments to create this card.

It's Good Times & Tan Lines for this awesome summer layout.  Grab those fun stamps to add great visual interest to your scrapbook pages.

Air Mail - I mean seriously I had the perfect paper for this awesome stamp set.  It's just fun primary colours perfect for the little ones in your life.

Camping anyone?  S'more fun has you covered.  

Are you allowed to have favourites?  I'm thinking Lucas has stolen the show this year with Have an Ice Day.  I've combined with the birch tree stencil & kraftin' kimmie inks.  

Last up for the year was Flaming Holidays.  This adorable stamp set with dragons dressed up for the season is a must for your collection.

So there you have it - 2024 in a nutshell.  Now onto 2025 and a few changes with new & different projects & products.  

I wish everyone a happy, healthy Merry Christmas and all the best of the new year.

Day 4 - Have an Ice Day!

Good morning and welcome to our
FINAL day of October Krafty Peeks!

Today we are revealing our last stamp set which will be releasing tomorrow afternoon at 1pm ET along with all our other stamp sets and stencils!

Today we are revealing...a Krafty Komeback!! 

It's called HAVE AN ICE DAY!!
And it was originally released as rubber in 2013!

For those who are new around these parts, Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps is celebrating 15 years this fall so we have a lot of retired images most people have never seen before!  (And there are lots of requests for past stamp sets!) So once in a while we bring a set back and this one will be back this weekend!

Having two sons and four grandsons, it's no wonder Lucas hits me in all the feels.  I've inked this image up using wicked black ink & coloured in copic markers (Maple Leaf blue).  

The birch tree stencil background is created using Ranger texture paste, Sandy Shores ink & outlined using Copic marker.  I've used Blue Bay ink for the ice! 

Join us tomorrow (Saturday) at NOON ET in the Krafty Friends Facebook group as we celebrate our FINAL release of the year!

All FOUR of the new stamp sets and TWO new stencils will drop at 

1pm ET in the Krafty Shop!
