CASology 183 – Glitter

Posted in CASology Challenge, February 2016 by Kreative Kymona

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

This week’s cue card is:

Week 183 - Glitter

Take a look at my card:

XOXO

I love when I get to use things from my stash. I remembered having this glitter paper from American Craft and decided it was perfect for this week’s cue card.

Creating this card was easy, I used American Craft dotted embossing folder and embossed the front of my card. Then I used Lawn Fawn Scripty XOXO to die cut the read glitter paper from American Craft. I adhered the die cut to the front of the card using Tombow Extreme Adhesive. I used We R Memory Keepers Corner Chomper to round the top two corners.

All done!!

What do you think? I can’t wait to see what you come up with!

Fun right!!

Wait there is more!! If you leave a comment on the YNS blog post you could Win a YNS Stamp Set of your choice!!!

Exciting right!! It sure is for me!!

The DT Dare Challenge this month is Sparkle and Shine!! The design team was asked to create a project using one of the new stamp sets from the September release.

Take a look at my project:

YNS Supplies: Sprinkles – Hoppy Holidays, Sprinkles – Hoppy Holidays Die Set, Stitched Fishtail Tags Two Die Set

Other Supplies: Wendy Vecchi Embossing Paste, Simon Say Stamps Falling Snow Stencil, Random Ribbon, Neenah Desert Storm Cardstock, Ranger Archival Jet Black Ink, Distress Ink Mowed Lawn, Spiced Marmalade and Broken China, Distress Glitter Clear Rock Candy, Clear Wink of Stella

Here is how I created these tags:

I simple die cut the Stitched Fisthtails Tags Two Dies out of Neenah Desert Storm Cardstock. Then I covered them with the Simon Says Stamp Falling Snow stencil and added the Wendy Vecchi Embossing Paste to them. Then I sprinkled some Ranger Distress Glitter Clear Rock Candy on top of the paste before it dried.

You can see it somewhat in this photo, on the snow.

Then I stamped my trees from the Sprinkles – Hoppy Holiday Stamp Set using Ranger Archival Jet Black Ink and used Distress inks to watercolor the image. Once it dried I used the Sprinkles – Hoppy Holiday Die set and cut them out. I added Clear Wink of Stella on top of the trees for some shine. I used foam tape to adhere them to the tags. Once everything was put together I stamped my sentiment using the same ink and added my ribbon.

Super simple and easy.

Your Next Stamp October 2015 Sneak Peek

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

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

We are getting ready for our October Release Blog Hop tomorrow with a sneak peek today. Are you excited? I am!!

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

YNS Supplies: Santa’s Helpers Stamp Set and Die

Other Supplies: Neenah Desert Storm Cardstock, Derwent Inktense Pencils, Wendy Veechi Embossing Paste, Simon Says Stamp Falling Snow Stencil, Canson Watercolor Paper, 3M Foam Tape, Ranger Archival Ink and Ranger Distress Glitter

Oh man creating this card was so much fun! I initial colored this image for Kathy from The Daily Markers 30 Coloring Challenge as a sneak peek before the sneak peek and shared it on Instagram. The response was amazing, 218 likes!!

So I knew I need to really get it on a card!! I love how it turned out. It looks better in person.

Here is how I created this card:

I stamped the YNS Santa’s Helpers image on Canson watercolor paper using Archival Ink because its waterproof.
Then I watercolored the image using the Derwert Inktense Pencils.
After coloring the image in, I used YNS Santa’s Helpers Die set and die cut the image out.
I taped down the Neenah Desert Storm cardstock and the Simon Says Stamp Falling Snow Stencil down to my table and applied the Wendy Veechi Embossing Paste onto the cardstock.
I lifted the stencil and add the Ranger Distress Glitter on top of the paste.
Then I stamped my sentiment onto the card base.
The finally step was to pop up my die cut image to the front of the card base using foam tape.

Super fun, I tell you. This is one of my favorite stamp set for this release!!

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!

Hello everyone!! I’m here with a2z Scrapbooking today with our October Challenge!!!

Our new challenge is sure to please you this month!! Our challenge this month is All About Fall!!

Check out the card I created for this challenge:

Creating this card was simple.

Here’s how:

I embossed the front of my card base using the retired Stampin’ Up! Polka Dot Embossing Folder.
Then I used Hero Arts Paper Layering Pumpkin Die to cut out my pumpkin.
Then I adhered the pumpkin to the front of my cad using glue.
After that stamped the sentiment from the Hero Arts Color Layering Fall Trees stamp set using Hero Arts White Embossing Powder and heat set it.
I trimmed the sentiment down, flagged it and adhered it to my card front.

Now tell me that pumpkin isn’t awesome!! I love it! I love how it opens.
