Topflight Stamps Birthday Blog Hop

Posted in March 2019, Topflight Stamps by Kreative Kymona

Hello and welcome!!! It is Topflight Stamps 2nd birthday! To celebrate, we’ve teamed up with up some of our favorite crafters to bring you a blog hop showcasing some of the fabulous products available from Topflight Stamps. Please hop along with us all and show all of the crafters some love!

If you arrived here from the talented Annette Allen blog, then you are on the right track. If you arrived here on your own, then you will want to start at the beginning, the Topflight Stamp blog so that you don’t miss a thing!

Take a look at my mixed media bookmark and mini notebook:

Let’s take a look at my tags:

I created two tags that are similar but not quite. I used AALL & Create Create it Grunge stamp set to create both tags.

Let’s take a closer look:

For tag number one, I used a stencil and a baby wipe to create the grid look. I also used the dark paint more.

For tag number two, before adding gesso to the tag, I placed a couple of pieces of chicken wire like tape and painted right over it. The tape creates a different texture that looks fabulous.

Oversized tags are fun to make and I love grunge look of the stamp set.

Let’s take a look at my mini mixed media notebook:

I love this little notebook. It was so much fun painting with my fingers. It’s not just the front that is decorated. Check out the back too.

For the cover I added a couple of glass beads and metal pieces to add character.

I even decorated the inside a bit.

I created a monoprint using Carabella Studio Letters stamp set. Then cut it out using my Cricut Maker.

Let’s take another look:

Art Journaling Page + Giveaway

Posted in Art Journal Series, July 2017 by Kreative Kymona

Hello everyone!! I’m here today with another Art Journaling Page plus a Giveaway to share with all of you!!

My good friend Josefine and I decided to get together and do a mini Instagram hop using Gel Press Petite Plates.

Both of us love using Gel Press Plates on our art journaling pages. So when we saw the petite plates we had to give them a try and share what we love with all of you!!

This petite set comes with 3 gel press plates:

3″ Hexagon
3″ Oval
3″ Rectangle

We wanted to show how we used it to get everyone excited about them.

Take a look at my page:

gel press petite plates

I wanted to show how you could create different impressions using all three of the plates. My design is very random and I love it that way. Not much thought goes into my pages. I used StencilGirl Stencils for each of my impressions.

So for each impression I use the same process:

This what the plates looks like once you take them out of the packaging.

Once I decided on the plate that I wanted to use, I placed the stencil right on top of the plate.

Then I added some paint on top of the stencil and used a brayer to even the paint onto the plate.

This is what the plate looks like after the paint is evened out.

Take the stencil off of the plate to see the pattern transferred onto the plate.

Press the plate onto the paper to create the design your looking for.

Totally fun and no two impressions will ever look the same.

So what do you think? Aren’t these petite plates fun to use.

Posted in July 2017, Rubber Dance Stamps Challenge by Kreative Kymona

Hello everyone!! I’m here today with the Rubber Dance Stamp for the last time as a design team member!! I had so much fun being on this team. I’ve learned so much from the talented ladies on this team. Their creativity is endless and beautiful and for that I’m grateful for the opportunity to work along side of them.

rubber dance stamps

Take a look at my tag:

I had so much creating this tag. I recently took an online class that taught me about the color wheel and how to use colors. I created a postcard size switch using three colors next to each other. I used blue, green and yellow green.

When I saw the theme for this challenge I knew I wanted to use this postcard.

Using Neat and Tangled Scalloped Die set cut out the tag.

Using the Mini Misti, stamp the Dragonfly and the sentiment from Rubber Dance Stamps Beautiful Bugs and Something Wonderful stamp set using black ink.

Then use We R Memory Keepers Crop-A-Dile Power Punch to punch a hole in the tag.

Now it time to get the ribbon colored. Using Tim Holtz Crinkle Ribbon, cut three pieces.

Spray them with Altenew Ink Spray Ocean Wave, Frayed Leaf, and Warm Sunshine. Crinkle in your hand and then dry it with a heat tool.

Add them to the tag and your done.

I love how this turned out and I love that is is my last project as a member of this team.

Hello everyone!! I’m here today with Rubber Dance Stamp March 2017 Color Challenge!

Take a look at the colors for this challenge:

Now, these colors are amazing. They remind me of spring and summer time, which are both my seasons.

Check out my card:

To create this card:

I used StencilGirl August 2014 Mary Beth’s Private Collection 14.2 stencil and Wendy Venchi Embossing Paste to added textured to the front to the white panel.
I squeezed a couple of drops of PaperArtsy Fresco Finish Chalk Acrylic paints in Cherry Red, Tango and Bubble Gum on a blending palette.
Using my finger, I added the different colors to the panel front. Mixing them in different places.
Once that dried, I used Rubber Dance Stamp Art Defined Stamp to stamp the sentiment right in the middle of the card panel using Stazon Jet Black Ink.
Then I trimmed the card panel down and adhered it to the front of the black card base.

Super easy and fun.
