WINNERS HAVE BEEN ANNOUNCED OVER HERE.

Today’s the day!  Kraftin’ Kimmie Stamps release day, and a blog hop to celebrate.  Between this and everything else that’s going on at the moment, I’m worn out (more on that later)!  So much excitement.

Before I move on to my project and the hop details:

  • If you’re in the US/Canada you can now purchase the new Kraftin’ Kimmie Stamps designs from the Kraftin’ Kimmie Stamps store HERE!
  • If you’re in the UK/Europe you can now purchase the  new Kraftin’ Kimmie Stamps designs from Quixotic Paperie HERE!

In this new release there are: 4 new Crissy’s Cuties designs, 4 new Moonlight Whispers girls and a brand new sentiment set – Kraftin’ Kimmie’s Holiday Sentiments, designed by Jeanne Streiff, with 44 fun phrases for all your seasonal projects!  And you can get them all today!

Now, if you’ve hopped on over here from Nikki Fairbairn’s blog, you’re on the right track.  If not, go back to the Kraftin’ Kimmie Stamps Challenge blog and start from the beginning. 

Trust me, you don’t want to miss any of the blogs out, as commenting on each blog will give you a chance to win a mystery prize!  Yep, that’s right!  Each blog along the way has a mystery Kraftin’ Kimmie Stamps candy package to give away!  So get hopping!

For my project, I’ve chosen to use one of the gorgeous Moonlight Whispers girls, designed by Annie Rodrigue: Clara.  There’s something about these twisty characters (as Michele would say!) that I just love, and judging by how quickly they fly off the shelves, many of you feel the same!  Clara comes with a lovely bird accessory stamp. 

Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps Blog Hop - Clara

I’ve coloured Clara with Copics, a list of which you will find at the end of this post.   The papers used are from the gorgeous My Mind’s Eye Signature Christmas Glitter Book (available HERE).

Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps Blog Hop - Clara Detail

I created the ribbon frame using SU taffeta ribbon, and the triple loop bow in the corner was created in seconds using the Bow-Easy template (available HERE).

Thank you for stopping by and checking out my project!  Hope you’ve enjoyed it, and thank you for any comments you may leave. 

*** Your next stop on the hop is none other than Kimmie’s Mom, the lovely

 Diana Pickering. 

I’m sure she’s got something fab over on her blog for you to check out! ***
