CASology 153 – Pop and Giveaway Winner

Posted in CASology Challenge, Giveaway Winner, June 2015 by Kreative Kymona

Hello everyone!! It’s CASology Tuesday!! We are back with another Cue Card for you!!

This week’s cue card is fun. This cue card can be interpreted in so many different ways. I can’t wait to see what everyone comes up with.

This week’s cue card:

Take a look at my card:

I decided to go traditional with my card. I used Lawn Fawn Sweet Smiles stamp set and Sweet Smiles Cuts to create my card! The bubblegum goes “POP” when you blow a bubble!! I love it!

I’m participating in Kathy’s 30 Day Coloring Challenge! I colored this gum-ball machine and loved how it turned out.

I used my Copic Markers: R89, R24, R27, R29, G07, G16, YR15, Y02, B37, Rv21, Rv13 to color my focal point.

I stamped some of my gum-drops with one of the many faces in the set. So cute.

I used my Clear Wink of Stella and added shimmer to the base and top of the gum-ball machine.

I used retired Stampin’ Up! Polka dots embossing folder and embossed my card base.

I die cut my image and added it to my card base using some foam adhesive.

I stamped the sentiment from the stamp set with My Favorite Things Hybrid Ink.

I rounded the bottom corners and I was done!

Super clean and simple. What do you think? Let me know below!

Now on to the GiveAway Winner from last weeks contest!!

Top Dog Dies – Butterfly

Posted in June 2015, Top Dog Die by Kreative Kymona

Hello everyone!!! It’s Top Dog Die Wednesday!! I’m here today showcasing Top Dog Dies Butterfly Die Set!!

When I first saw this butterfly die set I knew I had to have it. Its super intricate. I love the detail!

A couple of days ago I was on Instagram, my favorite social media site, and came across Bianca better known as@thecoloursofmagic. She posted a finish piece of different distress inks blended together. I fell in love. I knew I had to give this a try.

Take a look at her color combo:

Totally awesome right!! Thanks Bianca for sharing!! Check her out, she has some great coloring photos in her feed.

Now take a look at my card:

I love how you can see the multicolors behind the butterfly. I added some Clear Wink of Stella for some shimmer.

Such a great card to give to a friend. I stamped Mama Elephant Sunday Sentiments on the inside of the card.

Look at how beautiful those colors look behind that butterfly! Love it.

This card was easy to create:

1. I partial die cut my butterfly out of the card panel.

2. I used an ink blending tool to blend Distress Ink Mustard Seed, Spiced Marmalade, Fired Brick and Seedless Preserve on my card base.

3. I added some Clear Wink of Stella to the blended colors.

Tip: be careful when using the wink of stella on distress ink. Since the distress ink activates with water, the liquid will move the colors around. So good across the colors not up and down.

4. I added the card panel to the card base using Tombow Xtreme Adhesive.

5. I stamped my sentiment from Mama Elephants Sunday Sentiments on the inside of my card using My Favorite Things Hybrid Ink.

6. I used my We R Memory Keepers Corner Chomper to round the bottom corners.

7. I added Pretty Pink Posh 4mm and 6mm Sparkling Clear Sequins.

So what do you think? I hope you like this card as much as I enjoy making it!

Waffle Flower Crafts – Inspiration Photo

Posted in June 2015, Waffle Flower Craft Blog Challenge by Kreative Kymona

Hello everyone!! I’m here with our new Waffle Flower Crafts Photo Inspiration Challenge!!!

This is my eleventh and final challenge for 2015 with Waffle Flower Crafts! Time really went by so fast, 6 months really went by in a blink of my eyes.

I had a really great time on this team. The ladies that I worked with are all amazing and talented designers. Thank you Nina and Tessa for the opportunity to be apart of this amazing company Inspiration Photo Team.

This weeks photo really stumped me. I was lost up until the day my photo was due. I think the colors confused me.

Take a look:

You know that I’m a shaker card lover so I decided that I would chose one color from this photo and create a very cute and simple shaker card for the last time for this challenge.

Take a look at my photo:

Isn’t that little heart shaker cute!! I created that with my We R Memory Keepers Fuse Tool, Waffle Flowers Crafts Congrats Die and V’s Sweet Ideas shaker balls.

I stamped my sentiment using Waffle Flower Crafts Congrats Stamp Set and My Favorite Things Hybrid Ink.

If you want a refresher on how I create my shaker pockets, click here.

So this is my last card for this challenge, how did I do?

Now its your turn!! I can’t wait to see what you come up with.

Mini Book – Pocket tag

Posted in June 2015, Tag Style Mini Album by Kreative Kymona

This is my second post for today

If your looking for the Top Dog Dies and Simple Stories post, click here.

Hello everyone!! I just want to jump in here to talk about this class I’m taking over in the Studio Calico Classroom.

The name of the class is called Mini Album with Maggie Holmes!! I am loving this class. We are creating eclectic, tag-style mini albums that pack big-time style and design. We are going beyond the basics by learning how to incorporate pockets, envelopes, custom-size page protectors, and more.

I’m having fun.

Take a look at my first page:

The photos were taken by my daughter using our mini Polaroid camera.

Stay tune for more pages.

Thank you for stopping by!!

CASology 151 – Kids

Posted in CASology Challenge, June 2015 by Kreative Kymona

Hello everyone!! It’s CASology Tuesday!! We are back with another Cue Card for you!!

This week’s cue card is super cute and sweet. You will have fun with this cue card!

This week’s cue card:

I had so much fun creating cards for this challenge. Yes, I couldn’t just make one, I made four!!

Take a look at my card:

Isn’t this card just the cute card you’ve seen today!!! I created these cards for my daughter and nieces. They always want to play with my stamp sets and inks. So I decided to create these so they can color their own card and give it away.

You can also send this card to a well deserving recipient who can color their own card! I would love to receive a couple of these.
