CASology 138 – Blossom

Posted in CASology Challenge, March 2015 by Kreative Kymona

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

When I saw this cue card, I thought of flowers and rain right away. I ordered a new stamp set and die from Simon Says Stamp that I knew I wanted to use for this challenge.

Take a look at my card:

I love how the rain drops are falling down on my small flower pots that will case these plants to blossom!!

Since the die is so small I repeated the stamp across my card front.

1. I cut my card base to a 4 x 4 card size.

2. I used Simon Says Stamp To Thine Own Shelf to stamp the shelf my plants are sitting on in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink.

2. I used Simon Says Stamp Abby’s Spring Showers stamp set to stamp my plants, raindrops and sentiment.

3. The raindrops were stamped using Hero Arts Soft Pool ink.

4. I used Copic Markers: YR68, Y02, E31, E33, and E35 to color in my images.

5. I rounded the corners.

I think this card is so cute. I hope you do to!!

CASology 133 – Love

Posted in CASology Challenge, February 2015 by Kreative Kymona

Hello everyone!! Its that time of the week again!! CASology time!!

The cue card word this week is so fitting since Valentine’s Day is this Saturday. Can you guess the word is this week?

Take a look:

What is love!! When I was a kid there used to be a comic in the LA Times called Love Is….. totally my favorite comic. I used to clip the comic everyday. I’m not even sure why we received the LA Times, I lived in Brooklyn.

When I saw the word “Love”, my thoughts went straight to this comic! So I wanted to sure one with all of you.

These are the cutest comics ever. That heart made me smile so I decided that I wanted hearts on my card.

Remember my watercolor panel I created a couple of days ago? I punched a couple more hearts out of it to used on this card.

Take a look at my card:

I love how this card turned out. The idea came from Laura Bassen, she used her sewing machine to attached her hearts to the card panel. I didn’t think my needle would go through the paper so I used glue to hold them in place.

Lets take a closer look at those hearts:

Can you see the gold shimmer on that heart that’s in focus? I love how that turned out.

Beautiful watercolor

I stacked those hearts in threes and pinched them so that they are raised.

I love how the sentiment nestles right up to the hearts! Are you wondering what my card says?

Saranghaeyo means I Love You in Korean. The stamp set is Waffle Flower Craft DT Mix Stamp Set.

Nice clean and simple!! What do you think?

CASology 131 – Birthday

Posted in CASology Challenge, January 2015 by Kreative Kymona

Hello everyone!! It’s Tuesday and you know what that means, its CASology time. Yayyyy!! Last week, there were so many fabulous cards, it was super hard to choose one card.

This weeks cue card it fabulous too. Check it out:

Such a fun word. The possibilities are endless. I saw a card Laura Bassen created and I and wanted to make a card similar to hers.

Take a look at my card:

(this photo doesn’t do this card justice, its so pretty in person)

This little lady is all dressed up and ready to attend a birthday party. Isn’t she the cutest little you’ve seen!!

Here is how I created this card:

1. I cut my card base to an A2 (4.25 x 5.50) size card. I cut my card panel to (4 x 5.25).

2. I used Simon Says Stamp Stitched Circle die to create an opening on the card panel.

3. I use the cut circle to draw a circle on my card base to guide where my stamped imagine should be placed.

4. I stamped the little girl from Penny Black Cool Chicks Stamp Set within the drawn in circle on my card front. Once the ink dried, I erased the circle.

5. I colored the little girl with Copic Markers.

Hat: BG11, BG 13, BG15, R24, and Y06

Dress: R22, R24, and R27.

Necklace: BG34

Stocking: R24, and BG34

Shoes: R20 and R24

Skin: E00 and E11

6. I used Copic BG 34 to color a piece of cardstock to match the color in the little girls dress.

7. I die cut Simon Says Stamp Wishing Die 4 times (3 black die cuts and one out of the cardstock that I colored.

8. I stacked that word die on top of each other and adhered it to the front of my card.

9. I stamped the rest of the sentiment from Simon Says Stamp Sending and Wishing stamp set.

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

Check out what my fellow DT Members have created!!!

Smile, I Love You!

Posted in CAS(E) this sketch!, December 2014 by Kreative Kymona

Hello everyone!! I’m here today with CAS(E) this Sketch #101 and only have a couple of hours to get my card in before it closes. Why do I put myself under soooo much pressure? I seem to think, that my best work comes from stressful situations, LOL. That’s my excuse and I’m sticking to it.

The guest designer this week is Anita and she did a great job with this one. I hope my card measures up.

I’m also entering the Waffle Flower Anything Goes Challenge for the first time.

Take a look at my card:

So what do you thing? Did I past? Do you agree that I work best under pressure?

I wanted to make sure I stuck to her design from the sketch to the pop of color in my flower.

My original thought was to create a tag using my new Waffle Flower: Flower Circle Die, but I couldn’t figure out how to do it. So I just added the flower cut pieces to the front of my card.

I then stamped my sentiment from Craftin Desert Divas Say It Big stamp set, in the center of the flower. Then I decided to add another sentiment from the same set under the flower. Both sentiments just seem to fit perfectly.

I added some Pretty Pink Posh 6mm Sparkling Sequins and 4mm Sparkling Sequins and Clear Wink of Stella on the flower and sentiments.

I rounded the corners and decided that my card was done.

So, what do you think? Let me know below what you think. After I completed the card, I realized that I could have made the card a shaker card. Next time!!

Posted in DoubleClick Blog Challenge, November 2014 by Kreative Kymona

Second Post for the today!

CS Take It Make It Post is here.

Hello everyone! I’m here again today with DoubleClick Connection Skittles Challenge!

The theme is Thank you!

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.

Here is how I created this card:

1. I used Hero Arts Harvest Die Cuts to cut out my pumpkins from Lawn Fawn Sweater Weather Pattern Paper.

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.

5. I tied a small bow out of Lawn Fawn Orchid trimming.

6. I rounded the corners and I was done.

So what do you think?

I hope you join us and play along with out challenge this month.

Candy, Candy, Candy…

Posted in Blog Challenge, CASology Challenge, October 2014 by Kreative Kymona

Second Post for the Day

If your looking for the a2z Scrapbooking Design Team Challenge, click here

Hello everyone!! I’m here today with CASology Week 117. The theme is CANDY!! I love this theme.

I haven’t played with them in such a long time. I really miss being apart of the different challenges. I’m really going to make a big effort to participate more.

So, onto this challenge. Candy!! When I saw the cue card, I smiled because candy is such a perfect cue, since Halloween is on the way. In my thinking, I felt like everyone would do a Halloween theme and as you know, I try to be as different as possible.

My mind went straight for the new stamp set that I just order and received from Newton’s Nook Designs called Apple Delights. I ordered this set because of the “Candy Apple”!! Perfect!!! This set came right on time.

Take a look at my card:

Can you see the shimmer on that caramel!!! It makes me want a candy apple!! I might have to go over to Coney Island today to get one. I know the perfect store.

In any case, what do you think of my card? Does it fit the criteria for CAS? I think so.

Let me know what you think?
