Technique Tuesday April 2018 Release Countdown Day 2

Posted in March 2018, Technique Tuesday by Kreative Kymona

Hello everyone!!! Today I’m showcasing Technique Tuesday April 2018 Release!! Were you pleased with yesterday’s projects? Well let’s see what today holds.

Let’s take a look:

I love this Grandma Blessings stamp set because the sentiments are so true. Grandma’s are truly a blessing and we don’t know how lucky we are to have them until they are gone.

I lost my grandmother last month so this set really hit home for me. My grandmother spoiled us. She was tough but she really loved us and made us laugh.

Since my grandmother isn’t here anymore, I decided to create a “postcard” card to send to my grandmother in heaven. I will place it in her bible when no one is looking.

Here’s how this card was created:

Use Cricut Design Studio to create the card base.

Placed a piece of kraft board on a standard mat and run it through the Cricut Maker.

The Cricut Maker scores (with the scoring stylus) and draws the lines (with the midnight pen) on the card front.

Once the Cricut Maker finishes, peel the card front off of the mat.

Fold on the scored line.

Using the Mini MISTI, stamp a sentiment on the left side of the card using Versafine Black Onyx Ink.

Let that dry a bit.

Then stamp the flower stamp underneath the sentiment using ColorBox Crafter’s Berry Ink.

Super simple and easy card!

There’s more:

The Cricut Maker can cut out an envelope as well.

A simple butterfly stamp in the bottom right corner keeps the entire set CAS!!

Nicely done.

Motion Crafts Spring Blog Hop + Giveaway

Posted in March 2018, Motion Crafts by Kreative Kymona

Hello everyone and welcome to Motion Crafts Spring Blog Hop!! Today we are showcasing the all of the new Stamps and Dies. If you arrived here from the talented Vicki Papaioannou blog, then you are on the right track. If you arrived here on your own, then you will want to start at the beginning, the Motion Craft Blog so that you don’t miss a thing!

Take a look at my motion card:

(please excuse the camera image in the photo, the reflection was hard to a get rid of)

Super cute card with that waving mouse!!

Here’s how I created this card:

Create the card base out of patterned paper. I used some retired Gossamer Blue paper.

To create the give tag holder, use We R Memory Keepers Envelope Punch Board and cut a piece of Gossamer Blue coordinating paper to 5-5/8 and follow the direction on how to create the envelope.

Use the rectangular die that comes with the Motion Craft Pull Slider die set to create the window.

Cut the animation grid to size to cover the open window.

Adhere it using Motion Craft craft tape. Its small enough to fit in small spaces and not show.

Decide which where the bottom of the tag holder will be. Place a piece of foam tape at the base of the holder to create a stop for the tag.

Cut the top small flaps off of the envelope. Close the back of the envelope using the same craft tape.

Use a circle punch to create a notch at the top of the holder so that the you can pull the tag out of the holder with ease.

To create the actual tag, die cut the Pull Slider die and use the long window negative as the tag.

With the help of the Mini MISTI, stamp the bear from the Sunshine stamp set using crisp black ink. If the stamp isn’t as vibrant, stamp again.

Punch a hole in the top of the tag and string a piece of ribbon for an easy pull tab.

Decorate the rest of the card using Gossamer Blue embellishments.

Nice and easy.

Altenew March 2018 Stamp/Die Release Blog Hop + Giveaway

Posted in Altenew Blog Hop, March 2018 by Kreative Kymona

Hello everyone and welcome to Altenew’s March 2018 Release Blog Hop!! Today we are showcasing the all of the new Stamps and Dies. If you arrived here from the talented Yoonsun Hur blog, then you are on the right track. If you arrived here on your own, then you will want to start at the beginning, the Altenew Card Blog so that you don’t miss a thing!

Take a look at my Framed Scrapbook:

I’m always looking for ways to stretch my scrapbooking ideas and I love this one. I am totally tickled by this scrapbook frame. Amber from Damasklove posted some great buys at Joann’s the other day on Instagram and it gave me some ideas. So I went to Joann’s, picked up this wooden panel and decided to create a scrapbook frame.

I ordered a pair of Crocs for the first time and thought it would be fun to playfully document them. I’m going to wear these at work.

Here’s how I created this Scrapbook Frame:

Use Altenew Dotted Washi Tape to cover the bottom of the wood panel.

Then stamp hello from the Sincere Greeting stamp set around the border of the frame using Stazon black ink.

Print the pictures using Fujifilm Instax SP-3 and Fujifilm Instax Square Film.

Add the photos to the left side of the frame using foam tape.

Add the title using Altenew Our Family chipboard stickers.

Type or write the journaling and adhere it under the title.

Decorate the photos and frame with embellishments from the Reflection Scrapbook Collection and Our Family Scrapbook Collection.

So different, yet so effective. I love it!

Posted in CASology Challenge, March 2018 by Kreative Kymona

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

Take a look at my card:

For this card, I used Concord & 9th Yay Dies set to create this card. It was so easy like 1-2-3!

Here’s how I created this card:

Die cut Concord & 9th Yay Die using Altenew Mini Blossom Die Cutting Machine to cut a piece of Thermoweb PeelnStick Toner Sheet and a piece of fun foam.

Then place a piece of Thermoweb Deco Foil Jada on top of the PeelnStick Toner Sheet and use the Cricut Easy Press (setting: temp 295 , time 15 sec) to attach the foil to the toner sheet.

Peel the paperbacking off of the foiled toner sheet and place it on top of the die cut fun foam. Use Liquid Mono Adhesive to adhere the die cut to the card front.

Round the corners using We R Memory Keepers Mini Envelope Punch.

Super clean and simple.

How to Stamp on a Canvas Bag

Posted in March 2018, Technique Tuesday by Kreative Kymona

Hello everyone!! I’m here today to show you how to stamp on a canvas bag using Technique Tuesday Cherry Blossom stamp set!!

Let’s take a look:

I love the simplicity of this stamp set and the way it looks on this canvas bag. Stamping this image was easy with the Memory MISTI.

Let me show you how:

Place the Canvas bag in the Memory MISTI at the bottom right hand corner.

Add magnets inside the bag so that the bag does not move in the process of stamping.

Place the stamp where you want the image to appear, close the MISTI door and the stamp will stick to the plate. Now the stamp is positioned in the right place each time you stamp.
