Christmas Series Card 2

Posted in Christmas, November 2013 by Kreative Kymona

Absolutely No Peeking, is the name of card number 2 from my Christmas Card Series!! Remember I told you, Cherry Cobbler is my all time favorite color. I made this card as a part of a Photopolymer Stamp Set Swap. I choose the new Christmas Tagables Photopolymer Stamp Set for my swap. I love this new stamp set. It is full of fun stamps for the holiday season. Some of the stamps have matching dies.

Instructions:

1. The base card is Cut and Ready card base in Whisper White (135804). I love these card bases. They come cut and scored to size.

2. The Season of Style DSP (132181) paper was cut with the Top Notch Die (113463) using the Big Shot (113439). I used the Stampin’ Dimensionals (104430) to adhere that cut out to the card base.

3. The banner size was 1 1/2 x 4. I use the 1″ square punch (124094) to flag the ends. I used the Snail adhesive (104332) to attach it to the DSP.

4. The stamp image was from the Christmas Tagables Photopolymer Stamp Set (134623) with the Cherry Cobbler Ink (126966).

5. The Whisper White and Cherry Cobbler cardstock was die cut using the Big Shot and the Deco Labels Collection (130102). I used the first and second die from the center.

6. To add a finishing touch to the card, I added Pearl Basic Jewels (119247) to the top and bottom of the stamp image.

I hope you enjoyed this card as well. Don’t forget to lookout for the other cards in this series. At the end you will get a chance to vote for your favorite Christmas Card.

Christmas Series Card 1

Posted in Christmas, November 2013 by Kreative Kymona

The holiday season has come again and everyone is getting ready for it. Next to summer this part of the year is fun for me. I love to see the look on my children’s faces when they get gifts and surprises from family members and myself. To start off our holiday season we always make our cards and send them off to family and friends. This year I made several cards and I’m not sure which one to send to family and friends. Maybe you can help me decide.

Card number one: Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas

Cherry Cobbler is my favorite color out of all of the Stampin’ Up! colors. This color is so crisp and clean. This card was very easy to make and put together.

The base card (Whisper White CS 100730) measures 5 1/2 x 4 1/4.

The next layer (Cherry Cobbler Textured CS 132129) measures 5 1/4 x 4.

The DSP (Season of Style DSP Stack 132181) measures 2 x 4.

Underneath the DSP, I stamped the line image from the Merry Little Christmas Stamp Set (131826) using the Basic Black Classic Ink Pad (126980).

The whisper white tag was cut out using the Chalk Talk Framelit (129983) and the Big Shot (113439).

The tag was stamped using the Merry Little Christmas Stamp Set using the Cherry Cobbler Classic Ink Pad (126966).

To finish off the tag, I added a piece of 1/2″ Seam Binding Ribbon in Cherry Cobbler (120992), Whisper White Baker’s Twine (124262) and Rhinestone Basic Jewels (119246).

Clean and Classy! I love it!

Posted in November 2013, Online Class Homework by Kreative Kymona

Hello everyone!!

I started a new Online Holiday Christmas Card Class and I love it!! Yesterday was day one and I learned so much stuff. We learned fun ideas for making the insides of the cards as exciting as the outside. I took my lead from our instructor Kristina. Take a look at the card I made for homework:

I’m so excited about this card. It was fun and easy to make. I was able to use different supplies that I would not have thought of to use together.

OMG, I’m so excited about my new 3-D project. I saw this project at my upline Yvette Sanchez’s meeting two weeks ago and feel in love with it; that I had to make one for myself and you! Please do not get to excite, wait yes, get super excited. So here you go:

Tell me this isn’t the cutest Owl you ever saw. I know that’s what I said. Paper-crafting is such a wonderful craft. Look how I transformed a kraft box into a cute, lovable owl with paper, candy and no stamping. My make and take class at work will learn how to make these in two weeks.

This box can be given out as teacher gifts, students gift, gift for individuals that do not celebrate Halloween traditional or just because it’s so cute! This would put a smile on anyone’s face. I’m selling these at the craft fair this weekend.

My Non-traditional Get Well Card

Posted in September 2013 by Kreative Kymona

Happy Wednesday everyone!

Today’s card is a non-traditional get well card. That’s because of the colors I choose to use on this card. I wanted it to be a fun get well card for my daughter’s grandmother in Florida. She recently had surgery and I wanted to cheer her up and wish her well.

The Gorgeous Grunge stamp set is a must have. You can use this stamp set on any card. It gives the background some texture. The Tag It is stamp set was created to give back to the Ronald McDonald House Charities. When you buy the Tag It stamp set Stampin’ Up! will donate $3.00 to the RMHC.
