Second Post for the day

Looking for CS Take It Make It Post, click here

Hello everyone! I’m here again today with Papertrey Ink’s 8th Year Celebration! They introduced their new Blue Skies line.

For this challenge they wanted us to create a blue ombre card using all of our favorite shades of blue. It could be an ombre background, several of the same image stamped in shades of blue, ombre inking of a bold stamp or whatever else we could dream up!

For my one layer card I decided to go with an ombre background, take a look:

I love how this card turned out. So what do you think? Let me know.

Top Dog Die: Love on The Horizon

Posted in January 2015, Top Dog Dies Design Team by Kreative Kymona

Hello everyone!! I’m here today with Top Dog Dies with another Valentine’s day card for you!

Love will be in in the air soon and I hope your getting ready for the ones you love. If not, I have a really cute card that is super easy to make for those loved ones.

Take a look at my card:

Aren’t these cats the cutest you’ve seen!!! When I saw this die, I knew I wanted them to close together looking out to something.

The male cat wasn’t sure how to tell the female cat “I love you” so he decided to have it written in the sky for her to read it herself!!

I love the ombre effect in the background!

Lets take a closer look:

Check out the glitter on my die cuts letters and heart shape.

Check out this side view, so you can see the scalloped edge of the heart on the inside of the card.

So you want to know how I created this card? Here you go:

1. I used Neenah Solar White cardstock for my card base. I use Top Dog Dies Heart Doily Die to cut out the heart on the front of my card.

2. I created my own heart stencil out of acetate so that I can create a perfect heart ombre effect on the inside of the card.

3. I used Distress Ink Picked Raspberry and Spun Sugar to create the ombre effect on the inside of the card.

4. I cut the letter and shape from Top Dog Dies Heart Mini Album Finishers Die Set out of black cardstock.

5. I adhered it on the inside of my card and added Clear Wink of Stella for the sparkle.

6. I die cut my cats from Top Dog Dies Cool Cats Die Set out of black cardstock.

7. I adhered the cats with regular adhesive.

That’s it!! So what do you think? I love how the cats are looking at the horizon together. Beautiful!!

I would love to hear what you think.

Seriously, You Rock!!

Posted in December 2014, Simon Says Stamp Flickr Challenge by Kreative Kymona

Hello everyone! I’m here today playing along with Simon Says Stamp Flickr group! This is the second time, I’m playing along. Flickr is new to me, so it takes me some time to remember my password, then to upload and figure out how to get my photos in the groups feed. I’m will get this down pack very soon!!

In any case, the challenge runs for two week and this week’s challenge #7 is all about stencils. I love working with stencils! They are so easy and versatile to use.

Take a look at my card:

What do you think? I wanted my background to have an ombre effect. Did I achieve that?

I also wanted some of the distress inks to move around the card so I sprayed a little bit of water over the card front but I was unable to achieve the effect I was looking for. I didn’t use watercolor paper so the water just warped my paper. You can see that in the orange section of my card.

Here’s how I created this card:

1. I cut my card base to an A2 size card (4.25 x 5.50) out of Neenah Solar White cardstock.

2. I used Simon Says Stamp Flower Pattern Stencil and Ranger Distress Mustard Seek and Spiced Marmalade.

3. I sprinkled some water over the front of the card to get some of the ink to move but the water just created a warped look on the card. I should have used watercolor paper.

4. I die cut Lil’ inker design Seriously die twice out of Simon Says Stamp Black cardstock.

5. I adhered the two die cuts using Tombow Multipurpose Glue for added dimension.

6. I used Lil’ inker design Seriously Awesome stamp set to stamp my sentiment under the die cut and the small heart.

7. I added Pretty Pink Posh 4mm and 6mm Clear Sparkling Clear Sequin.

That’s my card for today!! What do you think? Let me know below in the comment section.
