L-E-T-T-E-R…….

Posted in August 2014, CASology Challenge by Kreative Kymona

Second Post for today!!

Hello everyone!! I’m here today with CASology Week 110 and their Cue Card word is LETTER.

I have to say when I sat down to create I had to think really hard on what I wanted to create. All of the ideas that came to mind someone already bet me to the punch.

I felt stuck. So, I took out a stamp set I’ve never used and one piece of color card stock and decided that I had to come up with something using these two items.

I choose Papertrey Ink Wet Paint Alphabet and Stampin’ Up! Basic Black cardstock.

I ponder over what in the world I make that represented a letter. I thought about having all of the letter be my background but the word is singular so that wouldn’t work.

Then a light bulb went off and I came up with this:

I decided to spell out the word L-E-T-T-E-R and emboss it with Stampin’ Up! Tempting Turquoise Embossing Powder (which happens to be on sale for next to nothing, let me know if you need it).

I added a Stampin’ Up! Rhinestone and my card is done.

Nothing much to it but I like it.

What do you think? Let me know below.

Thanks for stopping by.

You Rock Teacher!!

Posted in August 2014, Back to School, Blog Challenge, Simon Says Stamp Challenge by Kreative Kymona

Hello everyone! I’m here today with Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Blog Challenge and Word Art Wednesday.

The theme is my favorite!! It’s Back To School! Yayyyyy! If you’ve been following my blog you know how I feel about new paper, pens, pencils, notebooks and crayons. I love the smell of new school supplies. I get excited when my daughter gets her list from school. We are one of the first people in the store. I end up buying way to many supplies, LOL.

The card I made is for all of the teachers in the world. Teachers have the hardest job in the world to me. They deal with little people all day and those little people have different personalities. Can you imagine all of them talking at the same time, lol!! Oh no!!

On a serious note, they are responsible for preparing our children for life. They teach them all of the fundamentals they will need to be great people in this world. That is a big job. With that said, I like to let my children’s teacher know they are appreciated.

Take a look at my card:

I just love how this card came out. The embossing looks so good against my favorite color cardstock, Audrey Blue. I also used Simon Says Stamp Teacher’s Pet New Release for this card.

Here is how I created this card:

1. My card base measures 4.25 x 5.50 scored at 5.50 is Simon Says Stamp Audrey Blue cardstock!! So pretty to me. My card panel measures 4 x 5.25 and its Neenah Solar White cardstock.

2. I used Simon Says Stamp Scrambled Letters Stencil and Wendy Vecchi White Embossing Paste to create my background on my card panel.

3. Then I used Simon Says Stamp Lunch Box Notes Craft Die to cut my frame out of Stampin’ Up! Daffodil Delight cardstock, the stars out of Stampin’ Up! Real Red cardstock and the small window out of Simon Says Audrey Blue cardstock.

4. I used Simon Says Stamp Teacher Craft Dies to cut the word teacher out of Stampin’ Up! Real Red cardstock.

5. Now its time to put my card together. I stamped “You Rock!” from Simon Says Stamp Lunch Box Stamp Set with Versamark Ink and then embossed it with Hero Arts White Embossing Powder.

6. I attach the square piece to the frame and two of the stars to the embossed panel using foam adhesive. I attached the teacher die and one of the stars with Tombow Multipurpose Glue.

7. For the finishing touch, I added a Clear Wink of Stella to the stars and the die cut teacher.

Nicely done! What do you think? Let me know.

By the way, this card was made for my Blogging and Instagram friend Malini from My Little Pink Craft Kitchen. She is a school teacher and I wanted to show her my appreciation. Enjoy!!

Red, White and Blue…

Posted in Blog Challenge, June 2014, Papertrey Ink Make It Monday by Kreative Kymona

Hello everyone! I’m here today with a Papertrey Ink Make it Monday #169: Vellum Overlays. I’m so late in posting this card. I couldn’t decide what I wanted to create for this challenge.

So, I picked the colors that I wanted to work with first. Since July 4 is this Friday, I decided to go with red, white and blue. Once I knew that, I saw it fitting to use PTI’s Cover Plate: Stars Die.

After figuring all of that out, I needed to see how my vellum piece would look attached to my card. Once I added it, I realized I didn’t have a sentiment on my card. That’s when it hit me that I should add the sentiment to the vellum and in silver for an extra pop.

Yes, that turned out neatly!

Take a look at my card:

I attached my vellum with two bronze brads. I must me honest, when I decided to add brads, I knew for sure I had silver ones. Well, I such everywhere and I could not find them. So, I decided to us the bronze brads and I like it.

What do you think? Don’t be afraid to let me know, good or bad.

Supplies Used:

I also used Stampin’ Up!’s Retired Pewter embossing power and brads.

Thank you so much for stopping by!

Stencil Class Day 3

Posted in January 2014, Online Class Homework by Kreative Kymona

Today is the third day of my stencil class. There is only one more day left and I’ve learned a lot in such a short time. Today’s card, I used the stencil and covered it with paste to create the wavy textured surface. I added glitter to the wet paste to give the stenciled look a little shimmer. I also embossed the greeting. It was fun and really messy!
