{Clean and Simple} CASology 228 – Bow

Posted in CASology Challenge, December 2016 by Kreative Kymona

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

This week’s cue card:

week-228-bow

Take a look at my card:

its-time-to-jingle

For this week’s cue card, I used a couple different stamps from different companies!! I love spreading the love!

I used Concord and 9th Love You.Mean It stamp set for the circles that created the wreath. Then I used Mama Elephant Jingle Greetings for the sentiment. I stamped both of those with Clearsnap Colorbox Wicked Black Ink.

Here comes the interesting part.

I used a paper piercer to make a small hole at the top of the wreath. Then I strung two small jingle bells to a piece of twine and pushed the other end through the hole. I tied a small knot. I used a piece of washi tape to hold it down. I added a piece of cardstock (4 x 5.25) to cover up the washi tape.

After that I die cut three of the cute bow from Reverse Confetti Tagged Tote Confetti Cuts out of red cardstock. I adhered them together and placed it right over the pierced hole. Now the jingle bells look like they are attached to the bow.

Clever right? Believe it or not it was really simple and easy.

Are you inspired to play along? Please let me know below!

November is the time of the year where we give extra thanks to those that we love and those that we’ve met along the way.

I choose to use pumpkins because they are perfect for Thanksgiving.

Take a look at my card:

I decided to go with a clean and simple card because thank you’s don’t have to be over the top. They are clean and simple.

I love this pattern paper because of the autumn feel.

2. I adhered the pumpkins to the card base using adhesive.

3. I stamped the sentiment from Hero Arts Thankful for You stamp set.

4. I added two Pumpkin skittles to both sides of the sentiment.

How to Create an Envelope Wrap in 5 Minutes & Giveaway

Posted in Envelope Wrap, Giveaway, May 2014 by Kreative Kymona

Imagine getting a beautiful card in a beautiful envelope. Yes, a beautiful envelope.

How many times do we send out cards or even receive cards in plain white or colored envelopes. No, one really thinks about creating an envelope to match the card inside. I’m guilty of that myself. I spend a lot of time on creating my cards, I don’t even thing about the envelopes that they are going in.

That’s why I’m so excited that Papertrey Ink has a great Make It Monday #163 challenge going on this week called Envelope Wraps! This challenge has challenged me to really think about the envelopes I’m using to send my cards out in.

Making my envelope wrap was entertaining. I changed my mind seven times on how I wanted my envelope to look. I finally decided on the style I liked.

Front of the envelope

Back of the envelope

Close up of the other end of the envelope wrap

Wouldn’t you want to receive an envelope that looked like this? I would. I probably wouldn’t open it for fear of missing it up.

How about creating this envelope wrap for your next envelope. I created a PDF for you view on how to re-create or create your own envelope wrap.

Click here for the PDF instruction on how to make your own envelope wrap. Please let me know if this was helpful.

Giveaway time!!!! I have an extra Wrapped Mailing Label Die from Simon Says Stamp that I am giving away. Just leave a comment below by 11:59pm on May 11, 2014. The winner will be randomly chosen and sent an email.

Tea Cup and Carrier

Posted in 3-D, Christmas, December 2013 by Kreative Kymona

Hello everyone,

Did you miss me? I’ve been busy working on different projects to show you. This next project is soooo cute! The idea came from Donna Wicks! I had so much fun making this tea cup and carrier. The cups are so small. I’ve never seen these types of cups so small. My sister loved the cups so much she begged me for one so she can drink out of it, LOL. She said they are perfect to give hot chocolate to small one.

Take a look:

I made these for two ladies in my reading group at work. These two women have reached their reading goal before December 31 and I thought they deserved a really nice prize.

I will list the supplies used to make this project on my next post.

Please let me know what you think by leaving a comment.
