The November release stamps are now officially available at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps, including four new images from the Crissy's Cuties line, four new images from the Moonlight Whispers line, and a new set of sentiments, called Kimmie's Holiday Sentiments (which includes 44 sentiments!). To celebrate the new release, we are having a fun blog hop with lots of beautiful creations using the new stamps. And, as if all that inspiration isn't enough, everyone is giving away a little blog candy, too! Be sure to leave a comment on each blog stop and check the Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps blog on Monday to see if you're one of lucky winners.
I had to use this adorable Antoinette image on one of my sneak peek cards. Isn't she adorable?! She's so happy and fun! I paired her with some My Mind's Eye Be Merry patterned papers and some SU Taken with Teal cardstock. The buttons are snowflake buttons stacked on spring moss buttons. I love how they look!
I colored Antoinette with copic markers. Then, I added some polar white flower soft for some snow along the edge of my "frozen pond," which I covered with dimensional glaze so it resembles real ice.
Your next stop in the blog hop is the amazing Kimmie Reid herself. Happy hopping and don't forget to leave a comment to win a mystery package of Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps! BLOG CANDY is now closed. Look for the winner to be posted in the morning. *wink*
