KRAFTIN' KIMMIE STAMPS - May Previews Day 1

Hello friends and happy Wednesday. We are kicking off the *New* MAY Kraftin’ Kimmie Stamps previews today and first off, we’d like to introduce you to a whole new line of stamps!!!  We are very excited to share with you our….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 3/4 inch punches, for quick and easy cutting!!!  This month we are releasing the Everyday Trinkets set which covers Birthday, Thank You, Friendship and Just Because!!!  There are 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!!  

A lot of the Krafty Girls are cardmakers and we have found these to be such a quick and easy way to add a sentiment to our creations but they are also perfect for your Smashbook pages and your scrapbook pages, not to mention your altered items!!  I can’t wait to see them used everywhere!!!

You will get the set as a completely unmounted full sheet of deeply etched grey rubber.  And keep your eyes peeled for more themes because we’ve got lots more Trinkets on the way!!!

Wait until you see what you can do with this set. I have 3 pics here. On the first card I used an image from the set SUGAR AND SPICE and used the small sized trinket stamp. The next two pics are 4x4 cards using the larger trinket stamps. These 4x4 cards are perfect for putting in gift bags or presents. NOTE: You can use punches or dies to cut these images out. Easy, peasy :) I am really loving this set!!! Let me know what you think. 

Wanna win? One random person will win the EVERYDAY TRINKET set. Make sure you check out all the Krafty girls blogs for sneak peeks and leave a comment for your chance to win. You can find their links on the Kraftin’ Kimmie blog. Winners will be announced on the Kraftin’ Kimmie blog tomorrow.

Thanks for stopping by. Good luck to everyone. I will see you tomorrow with another fabulous sneak peek.
