Happy Day with Concord & 9th

Posted in August 2017, Concord & 9th by KreativeKymona

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.

Altenew Stencil Release Blog Hop + Giveaway

Posted in Altenew Blog Hop, June 2017, scrapbooking by KreativeKymona

Hello everyone!! I’m so excited to be here today. This is my first Altenew Blog Hop as a design team member!! Today we are showcasing all of the new stencils that are being released. If you’ve arrived here from fabulous Lydia Evans, 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:

For my layout I used Altenew Layered Kaleidoscope B Stencil paired with some of the supplies from the Reflection Scrapbook Collection Kit and some Ink Sprays to add interest to my page.

Altenew scrapbook layout

I used the Layered Kaleidoscope B stencil to add texture behind my photo using embossing paste. I took my time to only get the embossing past in the center design of the stencil only.

Note: for those of you who are new to this technique, I would suggest you mask of the areas that you do not want the past to go as to not make a mistake.

I did this twice so that the design would peak out from behind the photo.

Note: you could color the embossing paste using Altenew’s inks and/or sprays to really enhance the texture. Like this:

I choose not to use it the color paste because it was to much yellow on the page but know that this is an option as well.

Let’s take a closer look:

For this page, I matted the photo on top of a piece of pattern paper from the Reflection Scrapbook Kit. Then I used the stickers and other embellishments from the kit to add the title and cute saying to the layout. To finish the layout off, I used Altenew Ink Spray and a paintbrush to add ink splatters throughout the page.

So what do you think? Will you use stencils on your layouts now? I would love to hear what you think below!

Scrapbooking Again

Posted in Altenew Challenge, May 2017 by KreativeKymona

Hello everyone!! I’m here today to share a scrapbook page I created using Altenew’s Reflection Scrapbook Collection.

Would you believe me if I told you I started crafting by creating scrapbook pages for my son. I stopped a long time ago. I was introduced to some may different types of crafts that I slowly walked away from scrapbooking.

Last year, I started scrapbooking again by doing pocket pages. Those are easy and fun but I missed the actually scrapbook page that I use to create. So I decided to try my hand at it again.

Lets take a look:

I recently visited my nephew’s and had a blast with them. My youngest nephew is 5 years old and he is quite the explorer. He loves nature and everything it has to offer. We went out to eat and while waiting to be seated he spotted a tree outside and he had to climb it.

I was so happy that my camera was ready. I captured him looking out beyond the leaves and knew this would be a perfect shot.

Altenew is running their second sketch challenge and I figured I could join in on the fun.

Take a look at the sketch:

To create my page, I used my Brother ScanNCut Canvas online to create a heart. I downloaded it to the ScanNCut and used it to cut out the heart from one of Altenew Scrapbook pages.

Then I adhered the heart to the white background using Tombow Permanent Mono adhesive. I added dash lines around the heart to add dimension.

After that I picked out different embellishments to go with the theme of my page. I placed them according to the sketch.

Let take a closer look:

I love how the embellishments are all color coordinated.

Adding thread, adds an extra layer of texture to this layout. Super simple but effective.

So what do you think? Did I follow the sketch? I would love to hear from you.
