Hello everyone!!! I’m here today with Your Next Stamp (YNS) and the Sketch and Color Challenge #22!!

Each challenge has a sketch and a color combo to choose from.

Take a look at the sketch:

Take a look at the color combo:

I choose to go with the sketch again!! Take a look at my card:

YNS Supplies:Your Next Stamps Phoebe with her Wagon Stamp Set, Your Next Stamp Phoebe with her Wagon Die Set,Crystal Clear Gumdrops

Other Supplies:Pink Fresh Studio Happy Things Pattern Paper, Copic Markers, Lawn Fawn Small Stitched Square Stackables, 3M Foam Tape,

I must say I love this card!! The colors, the little dog, the wagon, the sentiment and the bow! It all just seems to fit so nicely.

I thought about cutting the pattern paper in have to leave a little white like the sketch but I didn’t like the way it looked so I used the bow as a separation piece. I hope that works.

For this card:

All I did was add a piece of Pink Fresh Studio Happy Things Pattern Paper and add it to my card front.

Then I added a bow out of some white ribbon.

After that, I used Lawn Fawn Small Stitched Squares Stackables to die cut my white square panel.

I used Your Next Stamps Phoebe with her Wagon Stamp Set to stamp the sentiment, the little dog and the wagon.

Then I used Your Next Stamp Phoebe with her Wagon Die Set to die cut the wagon and the dog.

I colored the dog with Copic Marker E23, E25 and E27 and the wagon with R35 and R37.

Then I added the wagon and the dog to the square panel using foam tape.

To finish off the card, I added Crystal Clear Gumdrops behind the white square panel.

Nice and easy. Did you notice that I used the wagon handle as the panel you see in the sketch. I thought that was clever. Do you?

So what do you think? Let me know below!

So are you ready for the new challenge?

You have until September 17th at midnight EST to play along and submit your project on the YNS Blog post. One random participant will win a $15 gift certificate to the Your Next Stamp Store. If YNS stamps or dies are the focal point then the winner receives and additional $5 gift certificate fro a total of $20.

I hope to see your projects!!

CASology 162 – Write

Posted in April 2015, Blog Challenge, CASology Challenge by Kreative Kymona

Second post for today
If your looking for the a2z Scrapbooking blog post, click here

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

I have to say I really love this week’s cue card. I love to write but handwriting is the worst!! LOL!! I wish I took penmanship classes more seriously when I was in grade school.

I just hated writing, “The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog“. Do you remember writing that over and over and over again. I never understood why we had to write that. The reason is, that sentence contains every letter in the alphabet!! Writing it, allowed us to write every letter!!!

We had a entire penmanship book. The pages were similar to this but with more space to write:

If I knew what I know now, right, LOL!!!

This week’s cue card is:

Take a look at my card:

Here is how I created this card:

I used Papertrey Ink’s Pencil Me In Patterned Paper to create my card front.
After that I used Papertrey Ink’s Pencil Me In Die to cut out my pencil. I adhered all of the pieces together using Plus Glue Tape Runner.
Then I used Papertrey Ink’s Lunchbox Notes Stamp Set to stamp my sentiment using My Favorite Things Hybrid Ink on the card front and pencil.
I used a black pen and scribbled in the line below the pencil.

Super fun and simple!!

Here are some closer looks:

Super doper easy!! What do you think? I would love to hear what you think below.

Now its your turn!! I can’t wait to see what you come up with!

I love shaker cards!! For those of you who follow me know that I love shaker cards because I make them all the time. You can find a full tutorial on how to create a shaker card using a fuse tool here.

Check out the card I created for this challenge:

Here is how I created this card:

I cut the Bo Bunny Altitude Pattern Paper to 4.25 x 5.50, which is the size of my card base.
Then I used a circle die to cut a circle in the center of my patten paper.
After that I used the same die and my fuse tool and created a circle pocket for my sequin.
I filled the pocket up with Lucy Abrams Iridescent White Sparkly Sequin.
I attached the shaker pocket to the back of the pattern paper using Plus Glue Tape.
I used my Misti to line the sentiment up with the open circle on the pattern paper so that my sentiment placement is correct.
I used Hero Arts Joy To The World Stamp Set to stamp my sentiment with Hero Arts Memories Black Dye Ink.
Once the ink dried completely, I added foam tape tot he back of the pattern paper and attached that to the card base.

Done! Finish! Complete! Now its time to Shake, Shake, Shake!!

I die cut a circle in the front card panel. That is where my shaker packet will go.

I created my shaker pocket using my Fuse Tool. If you want to know who to do that you can check out my tutorial here.

I attached the shaker pocket to the card panel with the tape runner. I added foam tape the back of that card panel and attached the entire piece to the card base.

I cut two strips of DSP to different sizes. I stamped the sentiment on the bigger piece and attached both pieces with the tape runner.

I die cut the two balloons out of the same DSP and attached them to the front of the shaker window. I die cut the balloon strings out of black card stock and attached them to the balloons.

I told you it was easy. Now its your turn!!

My Overhead Table Top Tripod

Posted in August 2015, DYI by Kreative Kymona

Hello everyone!! I’m here today with a tutorial on how I created my overhead table top tripod for my iPhone!!

I posted this picture:

on Instagram the other day and everyone was totally amazed by it. So I decided to create a little tutorial on how I made it.

Now I have to say, I was not the creator of this idea. Sarah Shotts did a Periscope showing us how to put this overhead table top camera mount together. She got the idea from Katie.

So props to these young ladies for sharing this idea with all of us!!!

Now let get to work!!

First you will need to go to either Home Depot, Lowes or any hardwood store that sells PVC pipes.

I went to Home Depot with my dad to buy all of the materials.

We picked up:

1 10 foot piece of 1/2 inch PVC pipe

2 1/2 inch PVC Caps

3 1/2 inch PVC 90 degree Elbows (slips, on threading)

2 1/2 inch PVC Tees (slips, no threading)

1 1/4 20 x 12 bolts

Drill

15/64 Drill Bit

Now I had to cut that 10 foot pvc pipe. Home Depot lets you cut the pipe yourself.

Here are the sizes that I cut my pipes. They are based on the size of my desk:

2 11 inch pieces

2 10 inch pieces

1 13 inch piece

1 3 inch piece

After those cuts I was left with long piece, so I cut other pieces. I cut some longer pieces:

1 18inch piece

1 23 inch piece

I will use these interchangeable, depending on how high or low I want my camera to sit.

Ok, now lets put the tripod together:

Putting this together is super doper easy. The pieces just slid right into the elbows and the tees with ease. You can take it apart and travel with it as well.

Now on to assembling the actual camera mount:

I took a sharpie marker and placed a dot on the inside of the second tee.

Then I took the drill and drilled a hole where you see that red dot.

Then I screwed the screw into that drilled hole.

I bought this mini tripod from Amazon for my iphone last year but it to small so I just unscrewed the part that holes the camera.

I screwed that camera mount on to the screw and here you have it!!

Super doper easy and portable!! That is the best part!!

What do you think? Will you build one? I would love to hear from you.

Thanks for stopping by!

CASology 160 – Number

Posted in August 2015, CASology Challenge by Kreative Kymona

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

This week’s cue card is:

Take a look at my card:

Can you believe I still have pieces of watercolor paper that I created weeks ago? I do. I love it. It makes my card making process so much easier!!

Here is how I created this card:

I used the Penny Black By The Number Die and die cut the numbers out of per-created watercolor paper, seen below.

I adhered the die cut numbers to my black card base with Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I used Your Next Stamp Birthday Stamp Set to stamp my sentiment on vellum. While the sentiment was still wet, I added Stampin’ Up! Clear Embossing Powder. I heat set it and it gave the sentiment a glossy look.

I flagged the vellum and adhered it to the numbers with Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I used the We R Memory Keepers Corner Chomper to rounded the top corners.

Easy Peasy!!

Now its your turn!! I can’t wait to see what you come up with!
