Kraftin' Kimmie October Release Preview - Winter Trinkets

The weather is getting a little cooler....we're putting away our flip flops and shorts and pulling out our fuzzy sweaters and warm socks!! We're celebrating winter at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps ...and lots more!! (You'll have to wait until later in the week to see what other themes we have up our sleeves!!) Get ready for our OCTOBER 2012 RELEASE!!!!! 

We are kicking off the *New* OCTOBER Kraftin’ Kimmie Stamps previews today and first off, we’d like to introduce you to a beautiful new set of Trinkets!!! We are very excited to share with you our….WINTER TRINKETS!!! 

These circular sentiment stamps have been created and designed by the totally talented Krafty Girl, Nicole Aspinall!! They are made especially to fit in your 1 3/8ths and 1 ¾ inch punches, for quick and easy cutting!!! This month we are releasing the WINTER Trinkets set which includes EIGHT trinkets in each set with four of each size and they come as both positive and negative images, so you can use your black or brown ink with the positive stamps and use your coloured inks with the negative ones!! You will get the set as a completely unmounted full sheet of deeply etched grey rubber.

All of the Krafty Girls are cardmakers primarily and we have found these to be such a quick and easy way to add a sentiment to our creations or to use as the focal point on our cards! They are also perfect for your Smashbook pages and your scrapbook pages, not to mention your altered items and tags!! No stamper's stash is complete without them! 

If you follow my blog, you may have seen the hot cocoa holders I made last week.  You can see them HERE as well as the directions on how to make them.  When I got my hands on the new Winter Trinkets, I had to make some more!  

This Winter Trinket is PERFECT for hot cocoa holders!  I stamped the the trinket twice onto Bazzill Card Shoppe butter mints CS in Momento rich cocoa ink.  I used a 1" circle punch to pop out the center of of the trinkets so that I could pop it up with a foam square and layer it over the 2nd one for added dimension.  I used my copics to color the mug.  I popped out he 2nd stamped trinket with a 1.75" circle punch and layered it over a 2" scallop circle.  I used Bazzill Card Shoppe wax lips CS and PP from the Echo Park Season's Greetings collection.   I added some olive / lime two-tone grosgrain ribbon from the Ribbon Carousel.
