It’s Christmas In October…

Posted in Lawnscaping Challenge, October 2014 by Kreative Kymona

Hello everyone!! I’m back again with another card for the Lawnscaping Challenge No. 91: Patterned Paper. This challenge was fun to play with.

I received my new Clearly Besotted Stamp Set made exclusively for Simon Says Stamp Winter Friends and Die set that I had to use.

This set is so cute I can’t believe it. 4 animal images and Santa Claus are the cutest things I’ve seen in awhile.

Take a look at my card:

Tell me that reindeer isn’t the cutest little thing you’ve seen in a long time. Look at that nose, so nice a red.

Look at how he matches the pattern patter behind him. Those little tiny reindeer’s are adorable.

This card was very easy to make. Here is how I did that.

1. I cut my card base the A2 card size (4.24 x 5.50).

2. I cut my Doodlebug Home For the Holiday paper to fit on the front of my card front.

3. I cut my Neenah Solar White cardstock with my Lawn Fawn Stitched Banner Die, the smaller one.

4. I stamped my Reindeer from Winter Friends using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and then I use the Die to cut him out.

5. I Copic markers to color my reindeer: Body: E40, E41, E43, E44, E49, Nose & Ears: R24, R27

6. I added Clear Wink of Stella to his nose so that it could be a shiny nose.

7. I adhered my Reindeer to my cardstock with foam adhesive. I stamped the sentiment with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink.

8. I added Cherry Cobbler Bakers Twine to the stitched banner.

9. I adhered the banner to the patten paper with foam adhesive.

10. I added Rudolph Red Skittles (how perfect are those and the name) to my banner.

Nice and Simple!!

What do you think? Don’t you just love that little Reindeer!!

The new challenge is Lawnscaping Challenge No. 91: Patterned Paper. How much fun will this be! I have so much pattern paper that has never been touched. I’m hoping I can really search my stash an come up with some great cards.

I decided to use some of my retired Stampin’ Up! Welcome Neighbor DSP for this challenge. I have tons of it and this is such a great way to use it up.

Take a look at my card:

Don’t you just love this little birdie!! I do. This image is from Gerda Steiner Designs and its called Cute Bird with Letter Digital Stamp. Gerda’s images are so cute, you must check them out.

I added some new DoubleClick Skittles Sunshine Yellow for added interest. Are they just the cutest thing you’ve seen. That yellow color is awesome.

So, I have another first that I can’t wait to share with all of you. I videotaped myself coloring with my Copic markers!!

Take a look at my very first video. I am truly excited about this. I’ve wanted to create videos for a long time but was afraid and now I’m super excited about it.

Fighting Breast Cancer…

Posted in Blog Challenge, DoubleClick Blog Challenge, October 2014 by Kreative Kymona

Hello everyone!! Can you believe its October already. The time really is flying. September totally went by and I didn’t even get to celebrate my one year blogging anniversary!! I will do something this month so stay tune in for that.

Today I’m here with the DoubleClick Skittles Challenge! In Honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, our challenge is any project with pink!!

I am an Instagram junkie as my son would say. I have to admit I had my reservation about it in the beginning. I’m not big on share pictures of my kids and things like that for fear that someone stranger would have access to them. It was my wonderful cousin Nicky who reassured me that I could use Instagram for just my paper-crafting business. Well I started and now I can’t stop!!

I say all of that to say that, I’ve meet someone wonderful ladies on Instragam. I feel like I’ve known them forever. Its amazing what cardmaking can do. This one young lady named Kendra Hernandez from Inkin’ It Up with Kendra introduced me to a new stamp company called Pretty Cute Stamps.

Their stamp sets are so stinking cute! Their September release really had some great stamp sets. You must check them out.

For my card today, I chose to use Fight Like a Girl!! The images and the sentiments are to die for. When I saw this set I knew I had to have it for the month of October.

Here is my card:

I know a couple of people who are breast cancer survivors and I’m so happy that they are fighting this fight. They are the toughest women I know. I Salute them!!

I also lost one of my most favorite patient to breast cancer two years ago now. She was the happiest person that I ever met in the hospital where I worked. She wouldn’t let anything stop her from living her life for her children, 3 of them at that, and no dad. She relied heavy on the oldest. She past about a week and have after her birthday. I have to say I was really heart broken by it. She had so much life, so much she wanted to do, so much she wanted to share with her children. She wasn’t a patient to me, she had become my friend. Her children had become mine children too. What a beautiful soul!!

This card is dedicated to her! I wish I could give her the biggest shout out but because of the nature of my work I can’t but she knows up there in heaven that I’m talking about her.

Her children are doing well. The oldest boy finished college, the middle girl is about to finish college and the youngest girl is in high school. I keep in touch with them. I promised her.

People are placed in your life for a reason, sometimes you don’t know why until they are gone. I miss her but I know she isn’t far.

To create this card:

I used some retired Stampin UP! pretty in pink cardstock and Lap of Luxury Designer Series Paper.

I stamped the image, colored it using Copic markers and fuss it cut it out. I have the SVG file but my Silhouette Cameo doesn’t recognized those files. I have to find out why.

I stamped the sentiment and used Avery Elle Custom Panels Die set to cut it out.

Then I added some Clear Wink of Stella to the boxing gloves so that they could shine. You can see that a little bit in the photo.

Then I added may Pink Sherbert Skittles in all four corners. They give the DSP a nice frame.

OOO, before I forget, if you purchase the stamp set Lisa the owner of Pretty Cute Stamps is donating $2.00 to the Susan G. Komen Foundation. Such a great cause!!

So what do you think of my card? I think the Copic Online Card Classess is helping me out a lot. Let me know what you think.
