Who Are You Thinking Of?

Posted in Blog Challenge, CAS(E) this sketch!, July 2014 by Kreative Kymona

Hello everyone!! First let me begin by saying THANK YOU to all of the ladies over at CAS(E) this Sketch!

I received Honorable Mention for the card that I made last week for their challenge. How neat is that!! If you missed the card, check out the mention here.

The card I create was a cute one, I must say. The winner Semee, her card is truly amazing and her win was well deserved. I might have to CASE her card. I have to ask her. (I just did, waiting for a response, LOL).

Now on to the matter at hand.

I’m here with CAS(E) this Sketch #86. Today sketch was done by Sam Simpson. Its simple and pretty.

Here is my card:

The strip of pattern paper is from Bo Bunny which was in my Simon Says Stamp August Card Kit.

I used Papertrey Ink’s Life is Beautiful Die set to cut my butterfly out of Simon Says Stamp Cardstock that came in the August Card Kit, Sunshine and Orange Peel.

I used Papertrey Ink’s Keep It Simple: Thinking of You Mini Stamp set to stamp my sentiment three times with Papertrey Ink’s Summer Sunrise Ink Pad.

For the add touch I added Stampin’ Up! rhinestone to the butterfly wings.

What do you think? Let me know.

Cute! Who, Me?

Posted in Blog Challenge, Clean and Simple, July 2014, Muse Challenge by Kreative Kymona

Hello everyone! I’m back today after all of the great news I had to share this week. Back to work for me!!

I’m here today with the Muse Challenge #77. The Muse this week is Marion Vagg. Her card this week is so cute and simple.

Take a look at Marion Vagg Card:

Marion Vagg Card

I love her owl! I do not own an owl stamp set, I look high and low, and my stash doesn’t contain an owl. I couldn’t believe that. I must get one.

So I went for my brand new stamp the Dragon from Sweet Stamp Shop.

Take a look:

Yes, isn’t this dragon the cutest little monster you ever saw!

Can you believe I colored him. Yes, I took out my Copic Markers and sat and colored. I need to do that more often. It was so relaxing. I need more colors too. I used BG49, Y19 and E37.

I colored my Stampin’ Up! rhinestones with a Copic Marker, Y19. I wanted to use black enamel dots but ran out of them and I’m glad I did. I think the yellow color looks so much better since its the same color of the dragons belly.

I thought I was done then, but realized I wanted to add and black frame around my dragon. So I used my Copic Multi-Liner to create the boarder.

I wanted my card to be as CAS as possible so, I keep everything to the minimal.

What do you think? I think my little dragon came out so cute! Yes, you!!

Flowers…

Posted in Blog Challenge, Flower, July 2014, Muse Challenge, One Layer Card by Kreative Kymona

Hello everyone!! I’m here today playing with the Muse Challenge #76. I missed it last week. I created a card but didn’t get a chance to post it. So I wanted to make sure I get this week’s card in.

This week’s Muse is Therese Calvird. Take a look at her card.

This challenge was a little difficult for me because I hardly create cards with flowers on it. I have the hardest time placing the flowers or even building them.

I gave it a try this go round and I’m ok with the results. I’m not in love with it but I think its a good start.

Take a look at my card:

I used Simon Says Stamp Favorite Flowers Stamp Set to create my flower bed.

I used Papertrey Ink Summer Sunrise ink and Hero Arts Green Hills Shadow Ink.

I tried to make this card as simple as I could because I really don’t know how flowers should look on a card.

Please let me know what you think, good or bad.

Do You See Spots and Dots?

Posted in Blog Challenge, Die Cut, July 2014, Simon Says Stamp Challenge, Stencils by Kreative Kymona

Hello everyone! I’m here today playing along with Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge.

This week the challenge is SPOTS AND DOTS!

This was a fun challenge to play with. At first I wondered what in the world to do. I wasn’t sure want to make that has spots and dots.

I pondered for a while.

Take a look at my card:

I looked at my stash, then remembered I needed to make a birthday card for someone special this coming Saturday so I decided to use my Simon Says Stamp Balloon dies.

Once I made that decision, I looked on Pinterest for some inspiration. I immediately saw balloons with spots. So I knew I would create spots on my balloon.

To do that, I use my Simon Says Stamp Medium Dots Stencil and Wendy Vecchi Embossing Paste to create my white spots on my balloon.

To create my spots, I used my Stampin’ Up! Perfect Polka Dots Textured Impressions Embossing Folder.

I added some Stampin’ Up! White Bakers Twine to bottom of my ballon and tied a bow.

For my sentiment, I wanted to add a pop of color so I decided on red, that surely would pop, lol. I used Simon Says Stamp Happy Birthday Die Cut to create my sentiment.

So what do you think?

Let me know. I would love to hear from you.

Are You Enjoying Your Journey?

Posted in Blog Challenge, CAS(E) this sketch!, Clean and Simple, July 2014, Virginia's View Challenge by Kreative Kymona

Hello everyone! I’m here today with CAS(E) this sketch #85. This week’s sketch is from N@Ali. I love this sketch, its clean and simple.

Take a look at my card:

I love how this card turned out. It has the CAS factors. One focal point, one sentiment, little embellishments and a lot of white space!

I used my brand new Life’s Journey stamp set and Super Geotag die from Simon Says Stamp’s new release called This Is The Life.

I love this new set. Life really is journey that we are on and we have no clue were we will end up. There are times when we set our path and something happens that take of off that path. Its up to you to get back on path no matter how hard it might, but we MUST enjoy the journey or it will not be worth it.

So what do you think? Please let me know by leaving a comment below.

Who Do You Feel Strongly About?

Posted in Blog Challenge, CASology Challenge, Clean and Simple, Copic Coloring, July 2014, One Layer Card by Kreative Kymona

Hello everyone! I’m here today with Casology week 104. The Cue Card is Pet!! I’m also linking this card to Addicted to Stamps and their challenge is CLEAN AND SIMPLE (CAS).

When I first saw the word I immediately thought of a pet animal. I figured everyone would choose that so I decided to look up the meaning of the word “pet” to see what else it means.

I decided to go with pet as an adjective: to feel particularly strongly about someone or something.

Take a look at my card:

Nothing like a father’s love for his only daughter!

I decided to do a one layer card with a lot of white space, one focal point and a sentiment, CLEAN AND SIMPLE (CAS) at its best.

My Koala’s are from my new Sweet Stamp Shop Koala stamp set and my sentiment and hearts are from Lawn Fawn’s Love You Tons stamp set.

I used my Copic markers #B12, B14, #R20, R24 and C3.

I wanted to color with my Copic’s for practice. I need to color more often. I want to master this skill.

This was my first card but I didn’t like how the sentiment “little sister” turned out but I wanted to share it with you.

Plus the belly is blue and not pink.

What do you think? Let me know!

Posted in Blog Challenge, CAS(E) this sketch!, Clean and Simple, July 2014, One Layer Card by Kreative Kymona

Hello everyone!! I’m here with CAS(E) this sketch #84. I only have 8 hours to post this card.

I created a one layer card. I wanted to keep it very simple.

Take a look at my card:

(Sorry about the photo, no natural lighting it is 1:26 in the am)

Edited to include this better photo at 6:30am

My card is pretty clean and simple. I used there Stampin’ Up! colors to create my card, crisp cantaloupe, pistachio pudding and basic black.

The sentiment is from Stampin’ Up! Hi There stamp set.

The scallops are from Papertrey Ink’s Ombre Builders stamp set.

1. I masked 1inch of space at the top of the card using the post-it tape.

2. I stamped my image 1/8 from the top and bottom of the post-it tape.

3. I removed the tape and added my sentiment.

4. I added rhinestones and WALA my card is done!!

Posted in Blog Challenge, July 2014, Papertrey Ink Make It Monday by Kreative Kymona

Hello everyone! I’m here today with Papertrey Ink’s Make It Monday #172: Rainbow Medallions!

Dawn Mcvey showed us how to create beautiful rainbow medallions using the stamps we have in our stash! It’s all about placement and different colors.I’ve been thinking all day long about the different stamps I could use to create this great affect. I couldn’t think of one. When I arrived home, I had a big box waiting for me in my kitchen. When I looked at the label it said Papertrey Ink. I was so excited because I had a feeling about what it was!!

My new Papertrey Ink Market Kit Shakers + Sprinkles!!

Yes, yes, yes! I’ve been waiting patiently for this order to come. It’s been on back-order for a couple of months. When I saw the half sunburst as a stamp, I knew I was going to use it for this in my Make It Monday project.

So without further a due, here is my card:

I use four different colors to create this look. I took Dawn’s advice by stamping the image by its opposite so that you don’t have to worry about lining them up next to each other. This was really fun to do and it really allows you to look at your stamps differently.

The sentiment and the sunburst are from Papertrey Ink Make It Market Kit Shakers + Sprinkles. This kit was such a hit on their site that it cause the site to crash back in May. I’m sorry to tease those of you who didn’t get it, but it is sold out.

Now you know why I’m All Smiles!

What do you think?
