{Clean and Simple} CASology 211 – Dream

Posted in August 2016, CASology Challenge 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 211 - Dream

Take a look at my card:

Dream (CAS)

When I saw this week’s cue card, I knew right away that I wanted to use Neat and Tangled Making Waves – Nice and Neat Dies. I love how the clouds are particle cut out of the card stock.

Creating this card was a breeze. I die cut the front of the white Bristol Smooth card panel using the Making Waves Die. Then I used a pencil to outline the circle, so that I knew where to apply the distress ink. I started with Distress Ink Tumbled Glass to create the sky. Then I came in with Distress Ink Broken China to darken it just a bit closer to the top of the sky. After that I used Distress Ink Forest Moss to create the ground.

Once all of the colors were down, I applied tumbled glass again over the entire scene to lighten the sky and the grass. Once I was satisfied with the way the scene looked, I used Concord & 9th Sophisticated Script Stamp Set and Clearsnap Colorbox Wicked Archival Ink to stamp the cue card word.

Then I placed a couple of dimensionals on the back of the card panel and placed it on top of the card base. Perfect!!!

I truly love how this card turned out. I think is absolutely perfect for this challenge. What do you think?

Top Dog Dies – Watercoloring

Posted in July 2015, Top Dog Die by Kreative Kymona

Second Post for today
If your looking for YNS – July Feature Day, click here

Hello everyone!!! Its Top Dog Die Wednesday!! I’m here showcasing Top Dog Dies Hot Air Balloon Die Set!!

I love this set. Its so cute when you die cut the balloons and clouds out!! The detail stitch lines give off a great finishing touch.

Take a look at my card:

I love how this card turned out. I used one of those watercolor pieces that I create last week.

Having these ready to go makes it so much easier to get cards done at the last minute. I used one sheet and cut a bunch of balloons out. So to use now and some to use later.

Creating this card was super simple.

All I did was die cut the balloons out of the watercolor panel and cut the balloon basket out of black cardstock.

I adhered the pieces the way I wanted with liquid glue and foam adhesive to the card base.

I used Mama Elephant Up and Away Stamp Set to stamp my sentiment under the balloons.

I used We R Memory Keepers Corner Chomper to round the bottom right corner of the card.

So what do you think? Let me know below! I’m sending this card over sees to a great friend of mines. I hope she likes it.

Your Next Stamp July 2015 Sneak Peek

Posted in July 2015, Your Next Stamp Sneak Peek by Kreative Kymona

Hello everyone!! This is my first post as a Your Next Stamp Design Team member!! I’m over the top excited about this opportunity.

We are getting ready for our July Release Blog Hop tomorrow with a sneak peek today. Are you excited? Well me too!!

Take a look at my card that I’m giving you a sneak peek of:

I couldn’t resist making a shaker card with this super stamp set!! Shaker cards are so much fun to make and this heart called for it.

This stamp set is called Waddles Rainbow Fun and there are 15 clear stamps in this set.

I actually cut that heart out using and old fashion craft knife because I didn’t get the die set in time. That was fun and back to the basics.

How did I create this card:

1. I cut my base cardstock to an A2 size card, 4.25 x 5.50. I cut the white cardstock to 4 x 5.50. I cut the pink cardstock to 3.75 x 5.50.

2. I used the cloud stamp and stamped a few clouds using Versamark Ink eyeballing where I wanted to stamp my hot air balloon.

3. I stamped my sentiment using My Favorite Things Hybrid Ink to the left of where I wanted my hot air balloon to be.

4. I finally stamped my hot air balloon using My Favorite Things Hybrid Ink on the right of the sentiment.

5. I use my craft knife to cut out the stamped heart. I positioned my pink panel over the white panel so I could stamp the sentiment within the heart shape.

6. I created my shaker pocket and added Lucy Adams Cherry Blossom Sequin before sealing the pocket up.

If you want step by step instruction on to create a shaker pocket click here.

7. I added the shaker pocket to the pink panel. Then I added foam tape to the entire panel so that its raised off the white cardstock.

8. I decided to not color my image because I loved the simplicity of the card.

So are you excited about what you see? You have to see what my fellow team members came up with the rest of the release!

You can find all of the new projects on the Your Next Stamp Blog!!

I hope I see all of you tomorrow for the July 2015 Release Hop!!

Hello…

Posted in Mama Elephant and Me Challenge, Muse Challenge, October 2014 by Kreative Kymona

Hello everyone!! I’m here today with the Muse Challenge #89!! I haven’t played along with them for such a long time its shameful. So I made it a point to play along this week.

I’m also playing along for the first time with Mama Elephant and Me October challenge: Anything Goes!

I’m also playing along for the first time with Stempelkuche Challenge#5: Design Paper!

Let’s take a look at the Muse for this week, Therese Calvird:

Therese always comes up with great cards. This one is no different!! So much detail, I love it.

Take a look at my card:

I love this card. Therese really had me stepping out of my comfort zone. I’ve never used this much pattern paper on one card!! I need to try this technique more often.

(Copic coloring: E00, E21, E23, RV00, RV02)
