So Suzy Stamps April Release Blog Hop

Posted in April 2015, Blog Hop, So Suzy Stamp Release, So Suzy Stamps Challenge by Kreative Kymona

Hello everyone!! I’m here with So Suzy Stamps. Welcome to the full reveal and blog hop of So Suzy Stamps April Release!! If you arrived here from So Suzy Stamps blog, then your on the right track. If you arrived randomly, the blog hop starts at So Suzy Stamps blog. Yuu don’t want to miss out on any of my design team members cards. They did a fabulous job.

Check out the card I created for this hop:

I used the Girl on the Swing Stamp to create my card. This little girl is so cute. I had to take my time and color her.

I have to admit I messed up just a little bit. Instead of using my new MFT Hybrid Black Ink or my Memento Black Ink, I used the VersaFine Black Onyx and stamped my image.

Big no, no! The black ink bleeds. When I realized what happen, I was already to far gone with my coloring. I just took my sweet time and tried not to touch the stamped edge.

That was hard to do. The image is so intricate that I had to get really close. Never again will I make that mistake!!

In any case, she turned out well. This card is a very CAS card. Your attention is drawn to the girl on the swing.

Here is how I created this card:

1. I cut my cardstock to 4.25 x 5.50 scored at 4.25.

2. I used Simon Says Stamp Stitched Circle Die to cut out my circle off of the side of my card front.

3. I stamped my So Suzy Stamps Girl on the Swing image inside the circle cut out.

4. I used Copic Markers to color my image:

Dress, shoes and antennas: V01, V04, V06

Winks: BG11, BG13, BG15

Swing Bench: E13, E15

Swing String: C3

Skin: Eoo, E11

Hair: E33, E35

5. I attached Stampin’ UP! Coastal Cabana Bakers Twine to the top of my card.

6. I added Your Next Stamp Crystal Clear Gumdrops for added interest.

7. The sentiment is from Your Next Stamp Whatnot Sentiments Set.

I did a sneak peak of one of the new stamps a couple of weeks ago. Check out that card here.

CAS(E) This Sketch #116 was done by Leigh Penner. Take a look at her sketch:

1. I started out with Simon Says Stamp Fog cardstock. I cut it to an A2 size card, 4.25 x 5.50.

2. I used 2 of the bigger dies from Lil’ inker designs Wonky Squares Die to die cut Lawn Fawn Let’s Polka, Mon Amie pattern paper and Neenah Solar White cardstock.

3. I stamped Simon Says Stamp Make A Splash Set to stamp my little bear and used the coordinating die to cut it out.

4. I used Copic marker R24 and colored his heart in.

5. I added all of the pieces with foam adhesive.

6. I added Your Next Stamp Crystal Clear Gumdrops for added interest.

So what do you think? Please leave me a comment below!!

Copic Coloring

Posted in March 2015, NBUS Challenge by Kreative Kymona

Hello everyone!! I’m here to share one of the cards I created for Kathy’s 30 day coloring challenge.

I used the new Lawn Fawn Gleeful Gardens stamp set to create my card.

Check out my card:

I’m so excited about this card. I really love how my coloring turned out. I’ve been really trying to master my Copics and I finally feel like I got it.

Thanks to all of my Instagram friends for the encouragement and guidance.

I used Copic R24, R27, R29 and R89. I’m loving that R89!!

I used Copic E47 and E49 for the stem.

I used W1 for the shadowing.

I added Your Next Stamp Clear Gumdrops. I’m obsessed with these.

I added Clear Wink of Stella to the top of the mushrooms. So pretty in person.

Take a look at some of the photos I shared on Instagram to get me to my finished card.

Getting ready to color for Kathy’s #thedailymarker30day coloring challenge

Colored with out the R89

I was told to try R89 from an Instagram friend.

Well put together and check out that Wink of Stella!!

I love how my card turned out. I can’t wait to color again! This was fun, especially when you finally get the blending concept!!

I’m entering this card into the NBUS Challenge #4.

Happy Birthday…

Posted in Birthday Card, March 2015 by Kreative Kymona

Hello everyone!! I’m here today to share a birthday card I created for a customer of mines.

She needed a birthday card for a friend of hers that is turning 40!!

She didn’t give me any direction or colors that she wanted me to use so I had free range!!

Since her friend was turning 40 I wanted the card to be fun and bright but I also wanted it to be elegant.

So I went with my new Penny Black Petals Die!! I love this die, its so pretty!!

Take a look at my card:

Oh how I love these pretty colors in the background. Distress inks always saves the day!

Here is how I created this card:

1. My card base is cut to an A2 size card (4.25 x 5.50).

2. I used masking tape to mask off the top portion of my card so that ink doesn’t transfer on to it while I’m blending.

3. I started with Distress Ink Picked Raspberry, then Shaded Lilac, and ended with Spiced Marmalade. Doesn’t it look like there is a hit of green in there. I love how colors blend with distress inks!!

4. I die cut the Penny Black Petal Die cut and tons of foam pieces to the back so that the panel will not shift of come off.

5. I used Your Next Stamp Whynot Sentiment Stamp Set to stamp my sentiment in Versamark Ink on black cardstock.

6. I sprinkled Hero Arts White Embossing Powder on the sentiment and heat set it.

7. I die cut one of the buttons from Papertrey Ink Button Stacks Die out of another blend piece of cardstock.

8. I added Your Next Stamp Black Gumdrop for added interest.

So what do you think? I hope the recipient likes this card as well.

CS Take It Make It: Take a Stamp Challenge

Posted in CS Take It Make It Design Challenge, March 2015 by Kreative Kymona

Hello everyone!! I’m here today with CS Take It Make It Design Team for our CS Take It Make It: Take a Stamp Challenge for the month of March.

This month’s theme is Take a Stamp!! That means take any stamp and create something, anything goes!! Now if that isn’t easy, I’m not sure what is!!

Take a look at my card:

The stamp set that I used is Your Next Stamp Perfect Chemistry. I love this stamp set and knew it would be perfect for this challenge. All of the images can be colored in. They are all super cute too!

I pair this stamp up with their Your Next Stamp Stitching Marks Circle Die Set!! Now I have to say that I totally, totally love this die set! This die set only leaves the stitching marks, it does not cut the circle!!

Then I add Your Next Stamp Black Gumdrop to embellish my card.

This card was super easy to create. Here’s how:

1. I cut my card base to an A2 size card (4.25 x 5.50) scored at 4.25.

2. I used three of the dies, starting with the second biggest one, to add the stitching to my card front.

3. Then I stamped the image using Memento Black Ink.

4. I used my Copic markers, Y11, Y13, Y15, and R24 to color my image.

5. I added Clear Wink of Stella to the image.

6. I stamped my sentiment from the same stamp set.

7. I added the black gumdrops to finish off the cards.

8. At the last minute I added glossy accents to his eyes.

Clean and simple!!

I created another card using the same stamp set. Take a look:

For this card, I used Kraft cardstock. I love how colors looks on Kraft cardstock.

To create this card was simple too.

1. I cut my cardstock to 3 x 6 scored at 3.

2. I stamped the word chemistry in Versamark ink to create my own background.

3. Then I stamped my image and colored it with Copic markers, R22, R24, R29. I used the Your Next Stamp Perfect Chemistry Coordinating Die Set to cut out my image.

4. I stamped my sentiment using Versafine Onyx Black Ink before adhering my die cut.

5. I adhered my die cut using foam adhesive.

6. I added Your Next Stamp Crystal Clear Gumdrops for more pop!!

Amazing, if can say so myself!! Totally love this stamp set and all of the the embellishments.

What do you think? Please let me know.

You can stamp your to your hearts desire. The challenge just calls for a stamped image.
