Try Something New – Where Creativity Meets C9

Posted in January 2017, Where Creativity Meets C9 Blog Challenge by Kreative Kymona

Hello everyone!! Happy New Year to all of you!!

I’m here today with the Where Creativity Meets C9 Blog Challenge Design Team!! This is first challenge for 2017!! Exciting right!! I think so!!

So without further-a-do, take a look at our challenge theme:

Take a look at my card:

For this challenge, the team was able to play with the new release that’s live right now. I was played with the set called Best Banners Stamp Set! I love everything about this set.

I wanted to keep my card clean and simple, so I stamped the four different banners at the top and bottom of the card. Then stamped the sentiment in the center. I stamped the heart and added glossy accents inside of it. Once that dried, I added a couple of splatters for added interest.

Nice and easy.

What do you think? Please let know below.

I can’t wait to see how you interpret our challenge theme this month.

CASology 186 – Distress

Third Post for today

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

This week’s cue card is:

I was wondering what do I do with this cue card. When I think of distress, I think of ink and blending. How can I make a CAS card with different inks blending together? Nothing was coming to me that would be simple and WOW at the same time.

Then I remember I received a Tombow Mono Correction Tape and saw a super fun technique using this non-crafty tool.

Check out my card:

Do you see my distress banner? LOL!! I created that with correction tape!!

Here’s how:

I used the Mini Misti to stamp the flower image from Lawn Fawn Happy Easter Stamp Set.

Then I used the Tombow Mono Correction Tape Retro to create a distress box that my sentiment will go.

Once the correction tape was down, I used my finger to pick up some of the tape on the edges, so that it looks distress.

I used the Mini Misti and My Favorite Things Hybrid Ink to stamp the sentiment on the correction tape.

After that I, I used a Copic Mulitliner to draw a line around the distressed box.

To finish the card off, I used Tombow Irojiten Colored Pencils Dictionary, Rainforest Pale Tones to color my tulips.

Very non-conventional, but I love it!! I hope you give this method a try!!

What do you think? I can’t wait to see what you come up with!

Now onto the dies I did get to play with!!

This was the first die I played with as soon I received my happymail!! Its the Top Dog Dies Cupcake Die Set. If you follow me, you’ve seen this card before. I was given permission to showcase this card before the release. That was exciting.

This die contains 7 dies, but one of the dies have 5 small cupcake toppers. Super cute and versatile die set. I love the different frosting topping.

Up next is the Top Dog Dies Balloon Die Set!! How super cute are these cards? I used the biggest balloon die to create all of my cards. This set has 6 dies ranging from big to little. I showcased these balloons last week to get you excited about the new release.

I will showcase the other dies on my Wednesday Series! So stay tune for that.

Now onto the last die set and card!! This set and card is my favorite of them all.

Take a look:

I just love this card. I love the colors, the shaker pocket, the splatters and the unicorn!! I’m super please with how this card turn out.

I used Top Dog Dies Unicorn Die Set to create my unicorn. I cut the mane and horn out of my watercolor panels that I created weeks ago. I have so much of these panels left. If you haven’t seen them, take a look.

These panels have gone a long way!

To create this card, I die cut the unicorn out of white cardstock and the mane and horn out of the watercolor panel you see above.

To make the shaker window I cut out the white panel. I used my Fuse tool to create the circle pocket. I added Lucy Adams Cherry Blossom Sequin Mix to the packet panel.

I used Mama Elephant Sightseeing Stamp Set to stamp my sentiment with My Favorite Things Hybrid Ink.

I put my card together using foam adhesive.

Once everything was in place, I used my WPlus9 Bloomsberry Spray Mist to create the splatters on my card.

I have to admit, I sprayed wrong and I thought I messed up the entire card. The big splatters that you see happened because the ink was seeping through the top. I didn’t realize it until I went to shake the bottle up and it spilled all over my card front.

It turned out to be a Happy Mistake!! I wouldn’t change it for the world.

Wait!!!!! Before I go I have a giveaway!!

All you have to do is leave a comment below letting me know if you like unicorns. This giveaway will end 11:59pm August 7, 2015.

I’m giving away the unicorn die set!!

So what do you think of my card? Please let me know below.

Don’t forget, the full release is will happen tomorrow, August 9th! Please be sure to come back so you can see what my fellow DT members and myself have created for this release!!

To create these cards:

All I did was die cut the pennant out of pattern paper.

Watercolor Monday!!!

Posted in a2z scrapbooking challenge, Watercolor, Watercolor Backgrounds by Kreative Kymona

Hello everyone!! I’m here today with a2z Scrapbooking and our December Challenge!

I’m excited about this challenge because the theme is Watercoloring!! Yayyy, who doesn’t love watercoloring. This technique is so much fun. No two cards look the same.

Take a look at what I created:

Don’t you just love how those colors just mix with one another. I used 4 different colors to create this background.

I added the ink to the front of my stencil. I added water to the ink to activate it.

I turned the stencil upside down and placed it on the watercolor paper and used a piece a paper towel to pick up the excess ink and water.

Once I picked up the stencil, I used my heat gun to dry the watercolor panel.

Once dry, I added it to the black cardstock.

I stamp the sentiment with versamark and embossed it with Hero Arts White Embossing powder.

I added foam tape behind the banner and adhered it to the front of the card.

I added some sequin to the front and that’s my card!!

So what do you think? Let me know.

Now don’t forget:

ends tonight at Midnight!!

CAS Merry Christmas…

Posted in DoubleClick Blog Challenge, October 2014 by Kreative Kymona

Hello everyone!! I’m here today with the DoubleClick Skittles 8th Challenge. The theme is Polka Dot or Circles!! How fun is that?

I decided to create a nice clean and simple card for this challenge. When I thought about circles I wanted to have more then one.

Take a look:

How many circles have you counted on this card. Amazing right!! There are 3 circles in this card. Plus the polka dot background!!!

The big circle, the smaller circle and the Ginch Green Skittles are on this card.

To create this card:

1. My card base is 4.25 x 5.50 scored at 5.50. My Lawn Fawn Snow Day patten paper which is from the Simon Says Stamp 2014 November Card Kit was cut to 4.25 x 5.50 and adhered to the inside of the card.

2. I cut the circles out with Stampin’ Up! Circles Framelits. I used the third and fifth dies. I cut out the card stock and the acetate.

3. I cut out two of the smaller circles and I also cut out the edged of the bigger circle to cover up the adhesive on acetate in the back.

4. I adhered the acetate down with Tombow Multi-Liquid glue.

5. I adhered the smaller circles down with Stampin’ Up! Fuse Fast adhesive.

6. I cut a 3/4 inch banner, rounded the corner, flagged the end and stamped the sentiment from Simon Says Stamp Be Joyful stamp set which is included in there 2014 November Card Kit.

7. I add one Ginch Green Skittles to keep my card nice, clean and simple. That green skittle gives the card a really nice pop of color on the front of the card.

So what do you think? Now its your turn! Please head on over to DoubleClick Connections to play along with us.

Dates: October 29th, 2014 – November 11, 2014

Challenge: Polka dots or Circles

You don’t have to have skittles to participate!

I hope to see you there!!

Hello everyone! It’s been 4 days since my last post. I’ve been so busy that I haven’t been able to sit and talk to all of you.

I decided that I wanted my card to be elegant and very clean and simple. I’m so glad to see a butterfly in this sketch because PTI Life is Beautiful die is my favorite die to work with. The butterfly is very elegant to me.

Take a look at my interpretation of the sketch:
