Here’s the Scoop Gift Card

Posted in August 2017, Concord & 9th by Kreative Kymona

Hello everyone!! I’m here today showcasing the yet another stamp set from Concord & 9th August Release.

Today it’s all about ice cream with the Here’s The Scoop stamp and die set!!

Let’s take a look:

Isn’t this gift card just the cutest? I love that the ice cream scoops was big enough to create a mini card.

Here’s how I created this gift card:

Stamp the ice cream scoop onto white card stock in black ink.
Using Prima Coloring Pencils, color the image the colors of your choice. I used PC 920 (light green), PC924 (crimson red) and PC 1082 (Chocolate).
Use the Here’s the Scoop Die to cut that image out.
Cut a second one to create the gift card.
Score the second ice cream scoop on the left side and apply adhesive.
Adhere the two pieces together pieces together.

Inside the card, stamp a sentiment using black ink.
Create the envelope using We R Memory Keepers Envelope Punch Board.
Using a red ink, stamp a sentiment on the front of the envelope.

Slide your card and gift card inside the envelope to send off to the recipient.

Nice, clean and simple. This mini card was so much fun to make and the possibilities are endless.

What do you think? I would love to hear what you think? Please let me know below.

How Do You Store Your We R Memory Keepers Planner Punch Board

Posted in August 2017, Simply Charming Bags by Kreative Kymona

Hello everyone!! I’m here today with a question for all of you? How do you store your We R Memory Keepers Planner Punch Board? When I purchased up mine, I wasn’t sure how I was going to store it, especially since it came with so many moving pieces.

I called Denise, better know as Mama from Simply Charming Everyday!! She creates the cutes bags and accessories using her sewing machine. She is famous for her Bunkie Bags, MISTI bags, Big Totes and Pouches.

I asked Mama if she could make me a special pouch for my new We R Memory Keepers Planner Punch Board and accessories. She said YES, right away no hesitation. I love this lady!!

She asked me to pick my fabric and I let her know she can go with the black and white polka-dot with a pink zipper to match my other bags. I also told her it has to have her signature button on it. She laugh and said no problem.

Lets take a look at my pouch:

I totally love how this pouch turned out. It is the cutest thing in the world. It holds my We R Memory Keepers Planner Punch and its accessories.

Lets take a closer look:

When you fist look at the pouch it looks very small. You will wonder to yourself, how will all of these things fit in this petite bag. Well hold on to your sit, because it will.

Take a look at the bag when you open it completely!! Its huge inside. I love how the zipper opens up so wide. I can fit everything in without stretching the fabric.

Check it out!!! Everything fits and there is room for more stuff!! I love it. Mama did an awesome job.

Lets take another look:

I love Mama’s signature button. I ask for it every time she creates something for me.

Check out the pouch she created for my daughter:

So what do you think? Isn’t this the cutest pouch you’ve seen. I love that is totally hand sewn. She makes all of these bags by hand. She also creates custom items as well.

I’ve asked for:

a cover for my ScanNCut
a cover for my Typewriter
a cover for my daughter’s sewing machine.

Mama is totally accommodating and flexible. I highly recommend her bags and expertise!!

You can find her on different social media outlets!

Altenew August 2017 Release Blog Hop + Giveaway

Posted in Altenew Blog Hop, August 2017 by Kreative Kymona

Hello everyone and welcome to Altenew’s August 2017 Release Blog Hop!! Today we are showcasing the all of the new Stamps, Dies and Inks. If you’ve arrived here from the talented Svitlana Shayevich 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 layout:

I absolutely love how this layout turned out. I stepped out of my comfort zone for this page. I wanted to really incorporate a couple of the new stamp sets from this release.

I used Speech Bubbles, 24/7, and More Then Words with the Reflection Scrapbook Collection. They make the page fun yet elegant.

Here’s how to create this page:

Using the Memory MISTI, stamp all of sentiments from all three stamp sets.

Then cut out the Geo to Go SVG pattern out of white cardstock using the ScanNCut.

Then cut different pieces of pattern paper from the Reflection Collection Kit.
Distress the edges for an added effect.
Adhere all of those pieces down using Tombow liquid glue and 3M Foam tape.
Add thread on top of the layered panel, in no particular order. Just make sure the thread can be seen off of the side of the photo.
Adhere the photo on top of the layer panel using foam tape.
Fussy cut the Speech Bubbles that was stamped earlier and adhere them to the top of the photo using 3M Foam tape.

To finish the off layout, add enamel dots.

Let’s take another look:

So what do you think? I would love to hear from you below.

{Clean and Simple} – Bud

Posted in August 2017, CASology Challenge 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:

I’m so happy with this card!! I love this Kitty Bee Design Flower For You Bunny. This digital image is so stinking cute!!

I printed the image and used the ScanNCut to cut the image out. I used copic markers to color the flower in then added glossy accents in the center of the flower.

Before placing the image on the card front, add a couple of score lines to the bottom and the side of the card using a scoring tool.

The brightness in the photo hides the score lines on the side but they are there.

To add a sentiment, simple die cut Simon Says Stamp Big Hugs out of red card stock twice. Adhere it to the card base using Tombow Mono Liquid Glue.

Adhere the bunny to the card base using 3M Foam Tape.

Nice, simple and easy. What do you think? Are you inspired to play along? Please let me know below!

Hello everyone!! I’m here today showcasing the yet another stamp set from Concord & 9th August Release.

Today it’s all about balloons with the Happy Balloon stamp set!!

Let’s take a look:

I love how the balloons can be used as hot air balloons too. This stamp set is so versatile and can be used all year round.

Here’s how I created this card:

Simple stamp the solid balloon using Altenew Deep Iris Ink.

Using the decorative balloon stamp and the basket stamp, stamp the image using Altenew Black Ink.

To finish the card off, stamp the sentiment right under the balloon.

Nice, clean and simple. This card is so doable and the possibilities of making a couple of these cards are great.
