It’s A Crayola World Curtains

Hello everyone! I’m here today to show you my brand new It’s A Crayola World Curtains!

Yes, I made some curtains for my small craft space. The great thing about them is the color. They match the colors on my wall. They were so easy to make, I know for sure you can create some for yourself.

Let’s take a look at my curtains:

I’m giddy with glee. Look at how cute they are.

Let’s talk about this fabric collection:

Five amazing fabric panels were inspired by nature and loaded with color. The amazing thing about these images, you will find Crayola® crayons blended into the artwork. It’s amazing. My sisters stopped by when I was working on the curtains; they were blown away by the crayons they spotted in the flowers.

This collection is the newest official licensed fabric line from Crayola®.

Here’s how to create these curtains:

Materials:

Note: Some of the links below contain affiliate links.

It’s a Crayola World fabric
Sewing Machine
Matching Thread
Cutting Mat
Pins
Rotary Cutter
Curtain Grommets
Scissor
Ruler

Step 1: Cut the panels

Cut the panels into two pieces. They measure 36 inches by the WOF.

Step 2: Prepare the panels

Double hem three sides of the panel by a 1/2 inch.

For the top hem, fold the raw edge over a 1/2 inch and press. Fold 3 inches and press again.

Step 3: Sew the hems

Using the 10D# Edgestitch Bernina presser foot, sew on the panel’s right side as close to the folded edge.

Repeat on all sides.

Step 4: Prepare the top edge for grommets

Measure the width of the fabric and multiply it by the number of grommets you want to use.

The grommet will be placed at 4.25, 8.50, 12.75, 17.25, 21.50, 25.75, and 30.25 inches.

Using the template that comes with the grommets, draw circles at the points above.

Cut the circles out.

Step 5: Adhering the grommets

Place one side of the grommet underneath the circle and one on top.

Snap the grommets into place.

Repeat for all of them.

Step 6: Finish the curtains

Press both curtains and snip any loss threads.

Done!! This is an afternoon project, and you can do it.

Now it’s your turn!

{Clean and Simple} – Bud

Posted in August 2017, 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:

Take a look at my card:

I’m so happy with this card!! I love this Kitty Bee Design Flower For You Bunny. This digital image is so stinking cute!!

I printed the image and used the ScanNCut to cut the image out. I used copic markers to color the flower in then added glossy accents in the center of the flower.

Before placing the image on the card front, add a couple of score lines to the bottom and the side of the card using a scoring tool.

The brightness in the photo hides the score lines on the side but they are there.

To add a sentiment, simple die cut Simon Says Stamp Big Hugs out of red card stock twice. Adhere it to the card base using Tombow Mono Liquid Glue.

Adhere the bunny to the card base using 3M Foam Tape.

Nice, simple and easy. What do you think? Are you inspired to play along? Please let me know below!

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-215-bark

Take a look at my card:

charming-friend-cas

When I first saw the cue card, I thought of a tree bark right away. So I pulled out my very first stamp set from Darkroom Door, Fine Flowers. I figured the stem of this sunflower works just fine.

Check out the definition:

The tough, protective outer sheath of the trunk, branches, and twigs of a tree or woody shrub.

I think my flower makes the cut!

To create it this card:

I stamped the flower from Darkroom Door and the sentiment from My Favorite Things using Clearsnap Colorbox Archival Dye Ink.

Then I colored the flower using Tombow Recycled Colored Pencils.

Are you inspired to play along? Please let me know below!

Second Post for today
If your looking for So Suzy Stamps post, click here

Hello everyone!! I’m here today with a new a2z Scrapbooking Challenge. Its all about Clean and Simple and I have a super fun technique for you: using a die cut to create a CAS card!

Yup, you can use your dies to create CAS cards. Go figure!!

Take a look at the card I created:

Grateful

Creating this was pretty simple.

Take Hero Arts Paper Layering Large Lotus and die cut the white cardstock panel.
Use Hero Arts Handwritten Grateful and stamp the sentiment in the top left hand corner.
Adhere a scrap piece of watercolor paper with Plus adhesive behind the flower so that color shine through.
Trim 1/2″ of the white cardstock so that the black cardstock base will show on the left side of the card.
Adhere the white card panel on top of the black cardstock using Plus adhesive.
To finish the card off add some Hero Arts Gems in the center of the flower and around the sentiment.

Here is a closer look at that die cut:

What do you think?

I hope you love what you see and that it inspires you to join us this month. You have the entire month to create a new project and enter it into our challenge. By entering you will have a chance to win a $25 Gift Certificate to the a2z Scrapbooking Store. Winner will be announced on the 7th of June. Good Luck!

Hello everyone!! I’m here today with a special feature that will show you how to work with Prima Rub-ons and Deco Foil.

I usually run this feature on Instagram and decided that I need to share these feature here as well.

Did You Know Series!

I’m back again this week with the same product that I talked about last month.

It’s the @primamarketinginc Christina Adolph Adhesive Rub-Ons! I can’t get enough of these rub-ons!! You can do so much with them.

1. I showed you how to use foil with them last month and this past Saturday.
2. Yesterday, I show you how to use them with embossing powder.
3. Today, I’m going to show you what they look like on top of a watercolor panel using all of the goodies you see above!

The shine is amazing!! No stamping required!! These cards were done in 6 mins tops. The watercolor was heat set.

Here are some closeups:

Note: you have to rub just a little bit harder since the watercolor paper has some tooth!

I created a video to show you how I used the rub-ons with foil to create the purple card above.

Any questions? Let me know below!!

CS Take It Make It: Take a Technique

Posted in CS Take It Make It Design Challenge, February 2016 by Kreative Kymona

Hello everyone!! I’m here with CS Take It Make It: Take a Technique Challenge Inspiration for February.

Our theme is Take a Technique: Text Me!!

For this month’s challenge the technique we would like you to use text or script background stamps, or text paper in your projects. Any language, any style. Old book pages, bits torn from magazines, scrapbooking papers.. whatever you can find! … The ‘text’ part does NOT include sentiments, phrase or single word stamps…. think backgrounds!!

This should be super fun to see what you come up with.

Take a look at my card:

Hello (TIMI)

I am in love with this card! I love how stamped image looks on top of the text paper. Beautiful. I have to try this technique again.

Here is how I created this card:

I cut my card base out of Recollection Black Cardstock.
Then I cut retired Stampin’ Up! DSP to the size of the card base.
After that I stamped Winnie and Walter The Big, the Bold and the Happy hello sentiment using My Favorite Things Hybrid Ink.
Then I used the huge flower from Simon Say Stamp/Winnie and Walter Big Bloom Stamp set.
I used one Copic R46 marker to color the flower in.
To add color to the DSP, I used Distress Ink Vintage Photo to add color to the edges of the card.
To finish the card off, I added Your Next Stamp Black Gumdrops.

So what do you think? I’m in love, are you?

We have two prizes to offer this month, the first is our sponsor prize. This winner will be chosen randomly from all of the entries in the challenge! The sponsor for February: A Sprinkle Of Imagination

The prize is a £25 voucher to spend in the online store.

Our second winner is our Design Winner. This winner is chosen by our DT, who all vote for their favorite design from all of the entries. This winner will have their winning project published in Craft Stamper Magazine, they will have a GDT slot for an upcoming challenge, and will also feature in their very own Winners Profile blog post!

Now if that isn’t a reason to play along I’m not sure what is!!

Wait!! Wait!! I have more: ASOI are also offering an extra 10% off for my blog readers! The code is CSBlog10% and will work from 5-25th of February, with a minimum £5 spend excluding P&P.

Tell me that isn’t good!!

Right at Home for the Holidays Ebook Inspired Projects!!

Posted in November 2015, Right at Home by Kreative Kymona

Hello everyone!! I’m here today with a fun company called Right at Home!! The owner Nicole is awesome!! In July 2015, she launched her first stamp set, called Happy Mail.

Today, Nicole is launching her first ever E-Book called:

“Right at Home for the Holidays”

home-for-the-holidays-ebook-post

Its a totally awesome E-Book!! E-Book what does that mean? An E-Book is a digital book that you purchase and its sent to you via email. A physical version is not sent. You save the file to your computer and print it as many times as you need or you simple read it from your computer!!

Now what is in this E-Book, you ask? Nicole put together 6 different project ideas with a supply list and instructions on how to create each project!! This takes all of the guess work out of creating projects this holiday season. You can create them as you see them in the book or you can put your own spin on them. Its all up to you!!

Now take a look at one of the tags I re-created with the supplies I had on hand:

Sending Warm Wishes

I created the holiday tag on page 4 of the E-Book. I went with the dies and paper I had in my supply stash! The hardest part to creating this tag was picking out the colors and papers to us.

The instructions were clear and to the point.

So what do you think of Nicole’s E-book? Do you need more inspiration? We’ve got you covered. Check out my fellow crafting friends blog for more inspiration:

So what do you think? Will you pick up a copy of the E-Book for yourself? Let me know below!

CASology 156 – Line

Posted in CASology Challenge, July 2015 by Kreative Kymona

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

This week’s cue card is super simple!! The shortest distance between to points is a straight line!!!

This week we are all about lines!!

Take a look at my card:

I went with Chevron lines!! Those embossed chevron lines are totally amazing.

The lines in the banner and the lines in the leaves are a plus!!

Here’s how I created this card:

1. Cut my card base to an A2 size card, 4.25 x 5.50.

2. I used Stampin’ Up! Chevron Embossing Folder to create my card panel.

3. I used Lawn Fawn Our Friendship Grows stamp set and die set to create my flower and leaves focal point.

4. I used Copic Marker Y32, Y35, Y38, G07, E33, E35, E37 to color the flower and leaves.

5. I stamped the sentiment from the same stamp set and flag the end.

6. I adhered the card panel with fun foam to the card base. I adhered the leaves to the back of the flower with tape runner and the banner to the card panel with foam tape.

7. I added Clear Wink of Stella the flower. I added to crystal clear gumdrops underneath the banner for balance.

I love how this card turned out!! I hope you do to! Let me know below.

Now its your turn!! I can’t wait to see what you come up with!
