It seems like only yesterday we were showing you sneak peeks for the Kraftin’ Kimmie Stamps launch, and now here we are, with peeks at the November release! Crazy!
Before I show you my card:
- For those of you in Canada and the US, these stamps will be available to order on Sunday 1st November from Kraftin’ Kimmie Stamps.
- For those of you in the UK and Europe, the stamps will be available on Sunday 1st November at Quixotic Paperie, ready to be dispatched to you on Monday 2nd November! Yep, that’s right, the stamps are already here in the UK and ready to post out to you!
For my first sneak peek project, I’ve chosen to show you my very favourite image from the new release. I fell in love with this adorable little fellow the moment I saw him! Everyone, meet Oliver the Penguin! As you can see, he is one of the Crissy’s Cuties range, designed by the lovely Crissy Armstrong.
Oliver has been coloured using Copics, a list of which you will find at the end of this post. I’ve also added some Flowersoft in Polar White to the bobble and trim on his hat. This is the first time I’ve really used Flowersoft and I love the effect!
The papers are from the gorgeous Basic Grey Eskimo Kisses pad, available HERE. I’ve layered with Kraft cardstock, the visible edges of which I have painted with Shimmerz “Angel Wings” available HERE.
The snowflakes have been created using the Spellbinders Create a Flake 1 set (available HERE) and some of the Eskimo Kisses paper and Kraft cardstock. The elements cut from the designer paper have been covered with Shimmerz in “Angel Wings” and the Kraft parts of the snowflakes have been covered in Stickles “Frosted Lace” (available HERE). At the centre of each snowflake is a 1/8″ crystal brad (available HERE).
The sentiment is from the new and fantastic value Kraftin’ Kimmie Sentiment set, which will also be available on Sunday!
The sketch I’ve followed is from this week’s Sketch Saturday challenge. There’s still time to enter and you could win a gorgeous Belles ‘n Whistles stamp, provided by Quixotic Paperie!
Thanks for dropping by, and for any comments you would like to leave. I will be back tomorrow with another peek at the new Kraftin’ Kimmie Stamps designs!
