Yes, there is a celebration going on!! As Kimmie is saying…Woot, woot! It’s time to start the PARTY!!!

Welcome to Day ONE of the first release of 2018 at Kraftin’ Kimmie Stamps!

I’m so excited to be part of the fun as a Guest Design Team Member. And today we’re kickin’ off the party with an amazing winter set by artist, Annie Rodrigue! It’s called STACEY SLAPSHOT!!!

This was the Super Secret stamp set that was included in the Winter Krafty Kard Kit!!! Those who preordered it already have it in their inky little fingers and you’ll get to see their creations today and on release day!

This strong girl stamp set comes with one large main image and FIVE awesome sentiments!!

Here’s my take on this fabulous new stamp…well, I’ve actually played with it 3 times already!!

First up, I started with using the stamp as it was designed, using my Spectrum Noirs to colour it in, adding papers included in the kit from Pink & Main called Frosty and some from BoBunny called Altitude.

I used my Ranger Distress Inks in Mermaid Lagoon, Tumbled Glass and Peacock Feathers to add colour to the backdrop. I then added the hockey cutout embellishments using my Silhoutte Cameo. I added some Liquid Applique snow from Marvy to which I added some DecoArt Glamour Dust Sprinkle-On Glitter in Crystal. It is just so cool how that snow puffs up when you heat it up. I never stop being amazed by that process! I also added some bling on the skates with my Sakura Gelly Roll pen in #700. I coloured in the hockey stick with my Pigma Micron pens in black and my Zig Millenium pens in Price Blue and Red. This is what the inside looks like.

This is my second card. 

 

 

 

 

 

I adapted Stacey the hockey player to become a ringette player and created a thank you card for a client — the Ontario Ringette Association. I recently worked with them and members from their teams that played on the Canadian National Team at the World Championships and I thought this would make a great thank you card!! I used one of the neat little metal skate embellishments that Kimmie had included in the kit.

Here’s the inside of the card; I used the note circle to replicate the ringette ring.

My third card is a very simple card that I turned into a boy for a birthday card. I think I had the stamp all of 5 hours when I turned this one around in about 20 minutes for a dear little boy’s birthday party that night!
