{Clean and Simple} – Swoon

Posted in CASology Challenge, January 2018 by Kreative Kymona

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

This week’s cue card:

Take a look at my card:

For this week’s cue card I really wanted to have the Swoon affect, so I used ET Cetera Paper Glitter Paper in Champagne and Stampin Up Painted with Love DSP paired with The Stamp Market Love Die.

Take another look:

Take a look at that paper, it comes with glitter already and it doesn’t rub off in your hand.

Take an even closer look:

Now look at that bling on the die cut letters. Swoon!!

Super simple and easy.

What do you think?

We R Memory Keepers Square Punch Board Review

Posted in January 2018, Product Review by Kreative Kymona

Hello everyone!! I’m here today with the new We R Memory Keepers Square Punch Board Review!!

I love all of We R Memory Keepers punch boards. They are easy to use and convient! I needed to see for myself whether or not this one would hold up the punch board reputation.

Let’s get started:

The Square Punch Board can punch squares in a lot of different sizes from 3/4 by 3/4 to 3 by 4!

No need for different handheld punches in different square sizes now. Its all in one tool!!

Here’s how to use:

Slide the guides at the top and on the side to the measurement you want.
Slide the paper in into the tool along the guides and punch.
The cut square will fall underneath the tool to allow you to continue cutting.

Its easy as one-two-three!!

What do I think?

I love it!! I recommend it to everyone who loves cutting out squares.

This punch can cut multiple sizes with one punch vs. the handheld punches that cuts one size.
It cuts rectangle too!
The guides move with easy across the tool.
The measurements are clearly labeled at the top, bottom and the side of the punch.
The measurements are listed in inches and centimeters.
The price is reasonable.
The bottom has four silicone feet that stops the punch from sliding, even on top of a glass surface.
The punch weights about a pound to a pound and a half.

Here’s how I used my cut pieces:

I created cards that I could use in my planners to encourage me everyday.

After I cut the different sizes, I added some stickers to each cut piece.

Then I used the Planner Pouch Board to cut the holes that match my mini planner. If you missed that review, you can view it here.

Each card fits nice and neat in my planner.

So what do you think? Would you add this square punch board to your list of must have tools ? I would love to hear from you. Leave a comment below.

The Ton 3rd Anniversary Release Blog Hop

Posted in Blog Hop, January 2018, The Ton by Kreative Kymona

Hello everyone!!! The Ton 3rd Anniversary Release Blog Hop is underway and it’s amazing. I made it back from Creativation just in time to participate in the hop so I’m excited.

If you arrived here from The Ton blog then you are on the right track. If you arrived here on your own, you will want to start at the beginning, The Ton blog, as to not miss any of the amazing projects!

The Ton released 22 new stamps for their 3rd Anniversary which includes up to two free gifts with purchase (Daisy Duet and Peony Notes Bundle A+B+C). For more information on The Ton’s incentive gifts, head over to the The Ton’s blog. All new release products are available now!!

Lets jump in:

Card One:

The inspiration for this card came from an artist I met at Creativation on Monday. His use of colors and water was amazing on a large background stamp.

So, for my first card I used the City Buildings Cling Background stamp to create a subtle multicolor background topped with a sentiment from the Seriously Amazing stamp set.

For the sentiment to pop off of the card, black embossing powder was added on top and heat set. Add a couple of gumdrops to finish the card off.

Card two:

For my second card, I used the XOXO Mini stamp set to create a clean and simple Valentine’s Day card.

Use 4 different distress ink colors to create the pink ombre look. Once thats done, stamp both sentiments using the MISTI and black ink. Make sure the sentiment is dry, then stamp the sentiment again using Versamark ink. Add black embossing powder and heat set the sentiment.

Add a couple of gumdrops to finish the card off.

So what do you think? Are you loving The Ton’s new release? I would love to hear what you think.

Now what’s a blog hop without a giveaway!!

National Sticker Day 2018

Posted in January 2018, National Sticker Day by Kreative Kymona

Hello everyone!! It’s National Sticker Day 2018!! Yes, they have a national sticker day, LOL!!

How many of you use stickers and what for? I use stickers in my planner/journal. Stickers make the pages come alive. I love the bold colors and the big bold sentiments you find in stickers books.

Today, I’m going to show you some stickers I printed and cut using my Cricut Maker!

Let’s Take a Look:

For these stickers I used printable vinyl to create these super cute stickers.

I choose this design in design space and followed the directions. Designs space prompts you to print with your pinter first then you bring it back to the machine and it cut the stickers out for you.

Take another look:

I love how easy this was to do and I created these whenever I want to.

What are you doing for National Sticker Day? Do you create your own stickers or buy them from a store. Please let me know.
