{CASology and Simple} CASology – Melt

Posted in CASology Challenge, March 2017 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:

Take a look at my card:

I have to say this cue card was so hard for me. I was challenged to use STAMPlorations Stitched Winter Landscape die and create a card that represented the cue card.

I decided to create a scene with snow melting from the ground, building and trees. The sun has finally come out of hiding to warm us up.

I die cute the trees and hills and used Copic markers to color them in. I used Simon Says Stamp Happy and Smile stamp set to stamp the sun and the sentiment using Clearsnap Colorbox Petal Point Ink and Colorbox Archival Pigment Black Ink.

Nice and Easy.

What do you think?

3. I used the pattern paper as a guide to draw a light flower on my card panel where I want my swing for the bear to appear.

4. I used the Misti and stamped the swing stamp where I wanted it. I erased the pencil mark.

5. I stamped the sentiment from the Words Critters – Exotic Animal Stamp Set with My Favorite Things Hybrid Ink.

Maximize Your Top Dog Dies!

Posted in February 2015, Top Dog Dies Tutorials by Kreative Kymona

Hello everyone!! I’m on the Top Dog Dies Blog today with another card that I created using one of my new dies.

Did you see that awesome release yesterday? Top Dog Dies released 10 new dies and they are really to “die” for!! Just in case you missed it you can find it here.

They are giving away all of the dies to one lucky winner!! That is $122.00 worth of great dies!! You don’t want to miss that.

Today I’m here to show you how to maximize your dies. I used the new Top Dog Dies Typewriter Uppercase Die!

How many time do we use a die for it’s intended purpose but throw the negative piece away? Well not today. I’m going to show you how to use that negative piece on your project.

(I saw a card with this technique and I knew I need to give it a try. I wish I knew whose card it was but if anyone knows please let me know.)

Now take a look at my card:

To see how I created this card, head on over to the Top Dog Dies Blog for the full photo tutorial!!

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.
