Altenew September 2017 Release Blog Hop Day 2 + Giveaway

Posted in Altenew Blog Hop, Altenew Scrapbook, September 2017 by Kreative Kymona

Hello everyone and welcome to Altenew’s September 2017 Release Blog Hop!! Today we are showcasing the all of the new Stamps, Dies and Re-inkers. If you’ve arrived here from the talented Agnieszka Malyszek blog, then you are on the right track. If you arrived here on your own, then you will want to start at the beginning, the Altenew Scrapbook Blog so that you don’t miss a thing!

Take a look at my layout:

I love how this layout turned out. The funny thing is I do not drink coffee, LOL!!! I’m a tea lover but I totally love sending out mug swap packages to individuals who do love coffee.

I stamped Altenew Coffee with a Splash stamp set with Altenew Coffee Break Oval Ink set on pattern paper from Altenew Reflection Scrapbook Collection. Super fun page!!

Here’s how to create this page:

Using the Memory MISTI, stamp the coffee splatters randomly on the right side of the pattern paper using all four colors from the Coffee Break Oval Ink set.

Use the Memory MISTI again to stamp all three sentiments at once.

Round the photo corners using the We R Memory Keepers Corner Chomper.

For added texture, add a piece of coffee ribbon on the left side to the photo.

Adhere the photo to the pattern paper using foam squares.

To finish the page off, use Nuvo Aqua Shimmer Glitter Gloss to all of the splatters. It adds dimension.

Let’s take another look:

So what do you think? I would love to hear from you below.

Feb2016hopbadge

Hello everyone!! Yayyy, I love this blog hop featuring new products from Your Next Stamps makes squeal!! LOL!!

This release is super cute!! Yesterday’s sneak peek was fun.

If you’ve been hopping along, you would have arrived from Kendra‘s blog and if you’d like to start from the beginning, you can click on over to the linky at the bottom of this post and start at Tracy’s blog.

My favorite set from this release is the Celebrate Sweetness stamp set! I showcased that card yesterday during the sneak peek. If you didn’t see it here it is.

Are you ready for my big reveal? For this first set, I made two cards to inspire you!

Take a look at my card:

Your the cream (YNS)

Coffee is the boss (YNS)

YNS Supplies: Coffee is the Boss

Other Supplies: Copic Marker, Faber-Castell Polychromos Pencil, Neenah Desert Storm Cardstock, My Favorite Things Hybrid Ink

Creating this cards was super simple. I used my Mini Misti and laid all of the stamps on the front of the card and stamped at one time. Super simple and super easy. Then I just took a Copic marker and a Polychromous pencil and colored the images in. I added the rhinestones and Clear Wink of Stella to finish the card off.

Note: For the second card, I masked off the mug to stamp the coffee ring under the mug.

My third card:

Have a sweet day (YNS)

YNS Supplies: Sprinkles Sugar Rush, Black Gumdrops, Crystal Clear Gumdrops

Other Supplies: Neenah Desert Storm Cardstock, Copic Markers, Recollection White Cardstock, Mama Elephant Femme Frames, My Favorite Things Hybrid Ink, 3M Foam Adhesive

This card was also easy to create. I used Mama Elephant Femme Frames to die cut the rectangular card panel out of the white cardstock. Then I stamped the sentiment and lollipops using My Favorite Things Hybrid Ink because I colored the images with Copic Markers. After that I added the black gumdrop to the bottom of the lollipop stick. To adhered the card panel to the card base, I used 3M Foam adhesive. To finish the card off, I added two clear gumdrops on opposite sides of the white card panel.

So what do you think? I had so much fun creating these cards to inspire all of you and show you the versatility of the stamp sets! Which one of these items are favorite? I would love to hear from you!

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

Hello everyone!!! I’m back again for this month’s Your Next Stamp Sneak Peek!!

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

Coffee Splats (YNS)

YNS Supplies: Coffee Rings and Coffee..Right Meow!

Summer Coffee Lovers Bloghop

Posted in Blog Hop, Coffee Lover's Blog Hop, June 2015 by Kreative Kymona

This is my second post for the day

If your looking for the CS Take It Make It Post, click here

Hello everyone!! I’m so excited to be apart of this fun Summer Coffee Lovers Blog Hop again!!

I love this hop because I love Mugs!! Coffee, Tea, Hot Chocolate Lovers all need great mugs to enjoy their morning, afternoon and evening hot beverage.

I’m here today representing Top Dog Dies, who is a Super Sponsor. They recently released a Mini Coffee Die Set that is to die for.

Lets take a look at my card that I created for this hop:

For those of you who follow me know that I have this new found love of shaker cards. I couldn’t help myself to create one for this hop!!

Here is how I created this card:

1. I cut my Neenah Desert Storm cardstock to an A2 size card (4.25 x 5.50).

2 I stamped My Favorite Things BG Pinstripe Background using Simon Says Stamp Khaki Stamp pad unto the card base.

3. I cut my card panel out of Neenah Solar White cardstock to a size smaller then the card base.

4. I centered the largest Simon Says Stamp Circle Stitch Die in the middle of the white card panel and die cut it out.

5. I used my We R Memory Keepers Fuse Tool to create my shaker pocket.

(To see how I did that check out this post.)

6.I added Pretty Pink Posh 4mm Metallic Bronze to the shaker pocket and then I used the Fuse Tool to seal it close.

7. I attached the shaker pocket to the back of the card panel with tape.

8. I added foam adhesive to the card panel to pop it off of the card base.

9. I die cut my coffee cup, lid, wrapper and heart.

10. I put the coffee cup together and adhered it to the front of the shaker circle.

11. I stamped a sentiment using Lil inker designs Seriously Awesome Stamp on the front of my card panel.

13. I added some of the same sequin to the front of the card.

That’s my card!! So what do you think? I would love to here from you!

Now on to the blog candy giveaway!!

I have this awesome prize pack that includes 3 Kelly Purkey Dies and this super cute coffee ribbon that So Suzy Stamps recently released. I think is so cute and so fitting for this hop!
