Welcome to the release day blog hop for Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps! This past week we have shared projects featuring all the new August stamps that are now available for purchase at the KKS Online Shop!

Today's hop will showcase projects by the Krafty Girls and Guests featuring all the new August stamps. The full hop list will be included at the end of my post.

When you are finished hopping, make sure to visit the KKS Shop to order your stamps! For those stampers who want it all, check out the August Gimmie Kimmies Kit...it included the full release at a discounted price, but only for a limited time! 

Kimmie has also put together Mini Kreepy Kits consisting of Halloween krafty goodies including patterned paper, cardstock and various embellishments. They are priced at only $9.99 (Canadian) so act fast if you want one! These kits are a great addition to your order...you'll be all set to create when your package arrives!

My card for today's hop features the ghoulish but gorgeous Valentina Vampire! 

I stamped the image in Memento Desert Sand ink on Neenah paper and coloured with Copics. Her eyes were shaded with Polychromos coloured pencils and I added some additional shading with a black Conte crayon applied with a paper blending stump. I added some decorative elements cut with a flourish die and the Ornate Hinge Die from SCACD.

Here's a look at the full stamp set:
