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!

Mutli-Stamping for the Right At Home Blog Hop

Posted in Blog Hop, June 2016, Right at Home by Kreative Kymona

Hello everyone!! I’m excited to be here with you today to sharing an amazing multi-stamping project created for the Right At Home April Release Blog Hop!! The design team are delight to full you with inspiration.

This month Nicole released four clear stamp sets and one background stamp! Super cute all around! For this released I used Right at Home Stamps Banner Alphabet and Banner Alphabet Add-On. I also used Right At Home very first stamp set Happy Mail.

If you arrived here from Joan’s blog, you are on the right path!! If you arrived on your own, you will want to start from the beginning, the Right At Home blog as to not miss out on any of the fun.

Take a look at my postcard:

While looking at the stamp sets, I wonder what could I do differently with these stamps. It hit me that I could create postcards where the image and message is on the front of the card.

Check out how I created these easy to create postcards:

I started with the banner string. I used the Mini Misti to do all of my stamping so that I could create more then one postcard at a time. I stamped the string with Versafine Black Ink.

Then I lined the banner stamps on the stamped line so that they are perfectly placed for easy stamping with the Mini Misti.

I left a space for the second “L”.

Using Clearsnap Colorbox Bluebells, I stamped the banner letters on each of the postcards.

I also placed the second sentiment on the bottom of the postcards so that I can stamp both sentiments at the same time.

Then I lined the second L up on the banner line. Using the Mini Misti to get the L in the right place on all of the postcards.

Take al look at one of the finished cards with my handwriting on it.

This one is going out to Nicole the young lady behind these stamps!!

So this one layer postcard is super easy to create but even easier with a Mini Misti!!

So what do you think? Please let me know below.

Giveaway time!!

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 203 - Congratulations

Take a look at my card:

Congratulation ink splatters

I plan on having fun with this cue card this week. My son’s big day is this Saturday and he has inspired me! He is such a great son. He has stayed focused to the very end. Good grades and dominate in all the sports he played. He walks away from high school as an All County Football Player, an All County Lacrosse Player and an All Conference Basketball Player.

INSPIRING right!!

This card is for him!

I used STAMPlorations Art Marks Stamp Set, who happens to be our sponsor this week, to create this card.

Here’s how:

I stamp the different ink splatters and the stars with Versafine ink.
Then I stamped the sentiment using So Suzy Stamp Plum Passion Ink Bite.
To finish the card off I rounded the top corners using the We R Memory Keepers Envelope Punch board.

Nice and easy!

What do you think? I can’t wait to see what you come up with!

CS Take It Make It: Watercoloring with Inks

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

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

Our theme is Take a Technique: Lets Get Inky!!

For this month’s challenge the technique we would like you to use more then one type of ink on your project (ink pads, ink sprays, stains, acrylic inks, etc.) Or more then one color of ink on your project…and don’t forget to include stamping somewhere too!!

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

Take a look at my card:

My new Alex and Ani Art Infusion Feather bracelet is the inspiration for my card this week. When I saw this bracelet, I knew I had to have it. Its purple and the feather was so pretty. I immediately wanted to make a card that represented my bracelet.

I stamped the feather from Papertrey Ink What the Doodle: Feather Mini Stamp Set using Versafine Ink.

Then I sprinkled Colorbox Sterling Silver Embossing Powder and heat set it.

Then I used Distress Ink Seedless Preserve to watercolor the feather and the card. I heat set the card then colored more ink on top give the different saturation of this pretty purple color.

Once the card dried, I stamped the sentiment using Concord and 9th Sophisticated Script stamp set using Versafine Black Ink.

The feather represents Truth, Light, and Virtue!!

“Keep Your Heart Light” is what the motto!

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

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 June: PaperArtsy!

color image

Take a look at my card:

Happy Day (SS)

I was so unsure what I was going to create for this challenge. Then my new stamp set from Darkroom Door Fine Flowers arrived and I had to try it out.

I love this whimsical flower and thought it would be perfect for this challenge.

To create this card, all I did was score the top of the card front randomly. Then I stamped the flower image using My Favorite Things Hybrid Ink. After that I colored the flowers using Copic V15, V06, V09 and Y19. Once that was completed, I used Concord and 9th Sophisticated Script stamp set to stamp the sentiment.

What do you think?

Now its your turn to give this challenge a try!! I can’t wait to see what you come up with!!

I just love this Mama Elephant Twinkle Towns stamp set. I pick it up a couple of months ago and haven’t had a chance to play with it.

My question to everyone is, “Where is the snow and cold weather”? By the time your read this it will be 60 degree. Don’t get me wrong, snow is pretty but it’s hell to get around it in.

All I did was stamp the images and colored the ornament in with Copic markers.

I love how this card turned out!! Super pretty!

CS Take It Make It: Take a Stamp Challenge

Posted in CS Take It Make It Design Challenge, May 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 May.

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:

OMG!! That butterfly is super amazing. That butterfly comes from the new Tim Holtz’s Perspective stamp set. I’m so glad I ordered it. I will get a lot of mileage with that stamp.

Here is how I created this card:

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

2. I stamped the butterfly and the sentiment from Tim Holtz’s Perspective stamp set using My Favorite Things Hybrid Black Ink.

3. I colored the butterfly using Copic Markers: BV02, BV04, BV08 and R81.

4. I added Clear Wink of Stella to the butterfly for extra shimmer.

5. I cut a mask out of the butterfly to cover my pretty butterfly up.

6. I used WPlus9 Bloomsberry Spray Mist and the Shimmer Spray Mist to add splatters to my card front.

Those sprays are awesome. Such a great added touch to my card.

7. I rounded the corners with the We R Memory Keepers Corner Chomper.

Pretty neat right!! Now its your turn to play along with us.

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 May is: WOW! Embossing Powders.
