Second Post for today
If your looking for the YNS Color and Sketch post, click here

Hello everyone!! I’m here today with CS Take It Make It Design Team for our CS Take It Make It: Take a Stamp Challenge for the month of July.

This month’s theme is Take a Stamp!! That means take any stamp and create something, anything goes!! Now if that isn’t easy, I’m not sure what is!!

Take a look at my card:

Successful woman (TIMI)

I love this So Suzy Stamps sentiment!! It speaks volumes for women. Such a confident booster!!

To create this card was simple:

This is an A2 card size, 4.25 by 5.50, scored at 5.50. This card has a card front as well. Cut to the same size as the base of the card.
Run the top of the card front through the Sizzix Big Shot Plus using the Stampin’ Up! Brick Wall Embossing Folder.
Then run the bottom of the card front through the Big Shot again. Leaving space for the sentiment.
Stamp the sentiment using Versafine Black Ink.
Using Distress Ink Mini Antique Linen blend some of the color over the embossed brick wall with the Mini Ink Blending Tools, for a realistic feel.
Add two of the brown Your Next Stamp Milk and Cookies Matte Gumdrops to finish the card off.

Pretty easy!!

Sooooo, what do you think? Please let me know below.

Prizes:

We have two prizes to offer this month, the first is our sponsor prize. This winner will be chosen randomly from all of the entries in the challenge! The sponsor for July is: Calico Craft Parts!

Hello everyone, I’m here today with So Suzy Stamps October 2015 Blog Challenge.

Check out my card:

I just love how that background turned out!! I’m not use to making background but I wanted to give this a try and I’m so glad I did!!

Here’s how I created this card:

I cut out a circle mask and adhered it to the card front so that I could blended Distress Ink Salty Ocean and Seedless Preserves together to create the night sky.
Then I used Heidi Swap Star Stencil and Hero Arts Unicorn Ink and added some stars in the sky.
Then I used WPlus9 Shimmer Spray Mist to add shimmer dimension in the sky.
After that I stamped So Suzy Stamps Safest Day Stamp Set using My Favorite Things Hybrid Ink.
Then I stamped the So Suzy Stamp Halloween Cat using the same Hybrid Ink .
Then I used the Hybrid Ink to add color to my Unique Laser Deisgns Halloween Mini Chipboard and adhered it within my moon.

It might look hard, but it was the easiest card I could have created!!

So what do you think? Please let me know below!!

Take a look at my card:

I’ve been dying to use this stamp set from Mama Elephant its called Sunday Stroll and Sunday Sentiments!! I’ve seen all of the beautiful cards with this set and wanted to join in!

Since our cue card is repeat, I decided to repeat the little girl, its triplets!! So cute!!

Oh man, I should have had them holding hands, that would have been super cute too, LOL. All after the fact, LOL!!

In any case, I blended Distress Ink Mowed Lawn to the bottom of my card. Then I stamped my image 3 times using my Misti. I colored them in with Copic Markers: E15, E02, E00, C1, C3, C5, R24. I add Clear Wink of Stella to their hats. I stamped my sentiment using My Favorite Things Hybrid Ink. I rounded the top two corners.

Happy Birthday…

Posted in Birthday Card, March 2015 by Kreative Kymona

Hello everyone!! I’m here today to share a birthday card I created for a customer of mines.

She needed a birthday card for a friend of hers that is turning 40!!

She didn’t give me any direction or colors that she wanted me to use so I had free range!!

Since her friend was turning 40 I wanted the card to be fun and bright but I also wanted it to be elegant.

So I went with my new Penny Black Petals Die!! I love this die, its so pretty!!

Take a look at my card:

Oh how I love these pretty colors in the background. Distress inks always saves the day!

Here is how I created this card:

1. My card base is cut to an A2 size card (4.25 x 5.50).

2. I used masking tape to mask off the top portion of my card so that ink doesn’t transfer on to it while I’m blending.

3. I started with Distress Ink Picked Raspberry, then Shaded Lilac, and ended with Spiced Marmalade. Doesn’t it look like there is a hit of green in there. I love how colors blend with distress inks!!

4. I die cut the Penny Black Petal Die cut and tons of foam pieces to the back so that the panel will not shift of come off.

5. I used Your Next Stamp Whynot Sentiment Stamp Set to stamp my sentiment in Versamark Ink on black cardstock.

6. I sprinkled Hero Arts White Embossing Powder on the sentiment and heat set it.

7. I die cut one of the buttons from Papertrey Ink Button Stacks Die out of another blend piece of cardstock.

8. I added Your Next Stamp Black Gumdrop for added interest.

So what do you think? I hope the recipient likes this card as well.

CASology 137 – Tropical

Posted in CASology Challenge, March 2015 by Kreative Kymona

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

When I saw this cue card I thought of fun under the sun!! Especially since we are covered in snow here. I can’t wait for the sun to start shining bright here.

I created two completed different cards for this challenge.

For the first card I blended 4 different colors to create a beautiful tropical background.

Take a look at my card:

The colors are so pretty!! To create this card:

1. I die cut the circle using Simon Says Stamp Stitched Circles Die.

2. I die cut the buttons turned into “flowers” out using Papertrey Ink Button Stacks Die.

3. I used Distress Ink Picked Raspberry, Spiced Marmalade, Mustard Seed and Salty Ocean to create my tropical background.

4. My sentiment is from Lawn Fawn, they sent it to me with one of my orders as a thank you. It was super fitting for this card.

5. I stamped the sentiment then I flagged the thin strip of cardstock. I attached it to my circle using my regular tape runner.

5. I attached my stitched circle and buttons using foam adhesive.

6. I attached Doodlebug Design Sprinkles Birthday Boy enamel dots to the center of the buttons.

I love how that card turned out.

Now onto my second card:

This card is for Kathy’s 30 day coloring challenge. I’ve been practicing my coloring so I wanted to stay with that challenge.

Take a look at my card:

For this card I used a retired Stampin’ Up! image and colored it with Prisma color pencils just to see how the look. I’m ok with this image but I’m not satisfied with it. I want to practice this type of coloring more.

I used Distress Ink Salty Ocean and the sentiment stamp is Lawn Fawn Hello Sunshine.

This card fits the tropical theme, the sun, the ocean water, the kids in the sunshine. Who could ask for anything more.

I hope my cards have inspired you to join us this month.

For more inspiration, check out my fellow Design Team members blog for more awesome work.

Waffle Flower Crafts Challenge – Photo Inspiration

Posted in February 2015, One Layer Simplicity Challenge, Waffle Flower Craft Blog Challenge by Kreative Kymona

Hello everyone!! I’m here today with Waffle Flower Crafts Photo Inspiration Challenge! This is our third challenge and its totally amazing.

Check out those colors!! I had to really search my stash for those colors. I think I hit the nail on the head, LOL.

Take a look at my card:

I decided to use a new stamp set, Waffle Flower Crafts Rock My World and I didn’t want to plan what I wanted to create. I was flying by the seat of my pants and I love how this card turned out.

I decided to create a mask using Waffle Flower Flower Circle Die and used it to covered my card front.

I blended Distress Ink Spun Sugar, Tumbled Glass and Salty Ocean to create the flower pattern. I wanted my colors in the same place as the picture.

I used Hero Arts Neon Yellow Ink and a pencil eraser to add that neon color to my flower.

I also use Hero Arts Tide Pool Ink Dauber to create the last color on my flower.

I added Hero Arts Gems to the card front to jazz it up some.

I rounded the corners with my We R Memory Keepers Corner Chomper and then I was done. Yayy!! Nice and easy card to create.

I love how this card turned out and I didn’t have a plan!! Sometimes going with you gut, things turn out great!

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

I’m also entering my card in the One-Layer Simplicity Challenge: You Blend. This is the first time I’m playing with them. It seems like fun.

CASology 129 – NBUS

Posted in CASology Challenge, January 2015 by Kreative Kymona

Hello everyone!! I’m here today with the CASology Design Team this weeks Challenge.

We are combining challenges with Darnell Knauss NBUS (Never Been Used Schtuff)!

Yayyyyy, how much fun is that!! I have sooooo much schtuff that I’ve never used before, choosing what to use was not hard at all.

Take a look at my card:

The die cut and stamp set from Lil’ inkers designs are new!!

Here is how I created this card:

1. I cut my Neenah Solar card stock to an A2 size card (4.25 x 5.50) scored at 5.50.

2. I used painters tape to score off the bottom have of my card so that I could do some ink blending.

3. I used Distress Ink Spiced Marmalade and Mustard Seed to create the color at the bottom of my card.

4. I die cut Lil’ inker designs Awesome Word Die out to the card base between the white and the color blend.

5. I cut a piece of lightweight cardstock, added adhesive and attached it to the inside of my card front.

6. Then I die cut the word Awesome 3 more times so that the word will pop up off of the card. I stacked the word on top of each other with Tombow Multipurpose Adhesive.

7. I inlaid the word back in the card. The adhesive was already on the the card panel that I added in step 5.

8. I stamped my sentiment underneath the die cut word using Lil’ inker designs Hello, Awesome.

9. I added some My Mind’s Eye Charmed Black Enamel Dots to the front of the card.

Easy peasy!!

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