We at KKS, along with many others, are huge fans of Gilmore Girls! And to celebrate the revival coming out this weekend we're giving one of our awesome coffee stamp sets a Krafty Komeback!!!
It's COFFEE & FRIENDS!!

You might remember this set from a few years ago!  Some of the sentiments have been changed and you may recognize a couple of them from GG! The set is NOW available in the shop!

I'm so happy that this is one of the stamps being brought back!!  I'm not a coffee drinker but they could be enjoying a good cup of tea!!  I colored the image with Copics and the designer paper is from the Doodlebug - Flea Market paper pad.  I used a YNS fish tail die.  Thanks for stopping by and enjoy your week!

I made a simple card today using the stamp set "Christmas Blessings Sentiment".  The snowflake is a die from Magnolia Doo-Hickey dies.  Once it was die cut I pressed into some versamark ink and them embossed it with Silver embossing powder.  I repeated this about 3-4 times to get more of a 3D effect.  Then I added some embroidery floss to make it look like a ornament.  I cannot take the credit for this idea as I saw it on Pinterest and wanted to give it a try!  Thanks for stopping by and enjoy the rest of your week!

SNOW MUCH JOY!!

Hi!  I have a cute stamp set featured on my card today from YNS called Snow Much Joy!!  Love these cute little guys!!  I've tried for the very first time coloring on Kraft Cardstock with Copics.  I really like it and I thought the colors would be washed out but they look more vibrant to me!  The stamp set also comes with the background trees and mountains.  I added a bit of glitter to the trees.  The designer paper is from the Doodlebug - Here Comes Santa Claus paper pad.  I added a few snowflakes and a twine bow to finish it off.  I also used the sketch from YNS for the layout of my card.  I just flipped it!  I think I managed to add three of the colors to qualify for both the sketch and colors.  I have two browns and a green.  There is also a tiny bit of orange for the snowman's carrot nose!

What a fun challenge this week with KKS.  I don't often use Kraft cardstock.  I seem to always grab the colors!!  This stamp is from the Christmas Cheer Sentiments stamp set.  I stamped it with black ink and then used black embossing powder.  I really wanted the black to pop off of the kraft cardstock.  The sentiment was framed using the Spellbinder Marvelous Squares die.  The blue panel was embossed using the Tim Holtz snowflakes embossing folder.  Then just a bit of twine to finish it off.

SANTA'S HELPERS!

I've made another Christmas card featuring this adorable stamp from YNS!  It's called "Santa's Helpers".  I just love the penguin helping Santa get down the chimney...lol.  I colored the image with Copics and then used the die to cut it out and pop it up on the sky/moon background I created using distress inks.  I love that you can get the dies to match the stamps with YNS.  So much easier then cutting them out by hand....which I have done a lot of!!  The distress ink colors I used for the evening sky were Faded Jeans and Salty Ocean.  Then I just splashed on some white for stars.  The moon is from the stamp set by Altenew called "To The Moon".  I used silver ink to stamp it with.  The paper is from the Echo Park - I Love Winter paper pad.  The bow and the Jingle Bell border are both dies from YNS.  So that's pretty much it and I am happy with how it turned out!  Thanks for dropping by and have a great week!
