Guest Designer: Sparkle and Shine Challenge Part 2

Posted in December 2015, Sparkle and Shine Challenge by Kreative Kymona

Hello everyone!! I’m back again today with the Sparkle and Shine Challenge as the Guest Designer for the month.

Here is the photo inspiration that I used to create my card:

Sparkle and Shine

Take a look at my card:

Happiest of Holiday (S&S)

I have to say I struggle with this photo inspiration this time around. At first I played with all of the colors in the photo and my daughter said no. The colors were to dull. So I decided to go with just two of the colors.

I stamped My Favorite Things Santa’s Elves tree and fussy cut them out. Then I adhered them to my card front. After that I added some sequin as ornaments on the tree. Then I stamped the sentiment and I was done!!

Super easy!

So what do you think? Please let me know.

This challenge runs for two weeks. You have until December 28, 2015 at 11:55pm to enter for a chance to win a super awesome prize!!

Here is the photo inspiration that I used to create my card:

sparkle and shine. jpg

When I saw this photo, I was torn on what to create! I saw the purple first, its my favorite color, then I spotted the snowflakes on the wall and thought how can I recreate that look and here you go.

Take a look at my card:

Joy (S&S)

I totally love how this card turned out!! Purple is such an amazing color! It’s vibrant and deep!!

I wanted to include the snowflakes, the colors purple and black!

Here is how I created my card:

I used Distress Ink Dusty Concord and add the ink to my paper. Only on one side of the card base since the snowflakes were in the corner.
Then I used Create a Smile Snowflake stencil and Wendy Vecchi Embossing paste to add some snowflakes over the purple ink blending.
Then I used Lawn Fawn Joy Die to die cut 3 words out of fun foam.
I adhered the sentiment to the card base using Tombow Multipurpose Glue.
Then I added some Pretty Pink Posh sequin from the Create a Smile Snow Dancing kit.

So what do you think? Please let me know.

This challenge runs for two weeks. You have until December 14, 2015 at 11:55pm to enter for a chance to win a super awesome prize!!

CASEing Kelly Blog Hop!!

Posted in Blog Hop, October 2015 by Kreative Kymona

Hello everyone!! I’m here today with a group of talented ladies who wanted to say “Thank You” to Kelly Latevola for all of her generosity and kindheartedness!! We thought a Blog Hop would be an awesome way for everyone to say good bye and send her best wishes as she parts ways with some of the amazing Design Teams she was on.

If you arrived from Kristina Beagle blog, your on the right path. If this is your first stop, there is a complete list at the end of this post so that you could start from the beginning and not miss out on any of the fun.

The best way to send her off, would be to CASE her!!! LOL!! Yes, my dear teammate, Kelly, we are CASEing YOU!!

For those of you who don’t know Kelly, she has a CASEing Genius feature on her blog. She always takes THREE cards from the designer she is CASEing, and makes ONE card inspired by those three cards.

Take a look at the three cards that I used:

I love how Kelly raised the flower by added those square panels. So pretty and dimensional.

I love the colors Kelly used on these flowers. I also love how she tried colors she wasn’t use to using.

I love how Kelly’s image was placed to one side of the card. It keeps her card CAS, which is my style of designing.

The CASE:

I used the green color from card number 2 to color my leaves. I totally love this color combo (YG01, YG03, YG17, YG67). Thanks Kelly. I position my images the left side of my card stock like her card 3. I used my Brother Scan and Cut and cut out addition leaves so that I could lift some of my leaves to mimic Kelly’s raised panel on card 1!!

Take a closer look:

I totally loved this challenge. It was a challenging but well worth it!! I had fun trying to come up with a card that suited my CAS style.

Thanks Kelly, for being a great teammate over on the a2z Scrapbooking blog. I love watching your periscopes as well.

What is a blog hop without some fun prizes?! Leave a comment by 11:59 pm EDT on Thursday, October 29th along each stop in the hop to increase your chances of winning a prize from one of our sponsors: a2z Scrapbooking, Altenew, Create a Smile Stamps, Dee’s Art Impressions, DJ Kard Kreations, Hero Arts, Ink Road, Lia Stampz and Simon Says Stamp,!

a2z Scrapbooking September 2015 Challenge

Posted in a2z scrapbooking challenge, September 2015 by Kreative Kymona

Hello everyone!! I’m here with a2z Scrapbooking today with our September Challenge!!!

Our new challenge is sure to please you this month!! Our challenge this month is Shake it Up!!

I love shaker cards!! For those of you who follow me know that I love shaker cards because I make them all the time. You can find a full tutorial on how to create a shaker card using a fuse tool here.

Check out the card I created for this challenge:

Here is how I created this card:

I cut the Bo Bunny Altitude Pattern Paper to 4.25 x 5.50, which is the size of my card base.
Then I used a circle die to cut a circle in the center of my patten paper.
After that I used the same die and my fuse tool and created a circle pocket for my sequin.
I filled the pocket up with Lucy Abrams Iridescent White Sparkly Sequin.
I attached the shaker pocket to the back of the pattern paper using Plus Glue Tape.
I used my Misti to line the sentiment up with the open circle on the pattern paper so that my sentiment placement is correct.
I used Hero Arts Joy To The World Stamp Set to stamp my sentiment with Hero Arts Memories Black Dye Ink.
Once the ink dried completely, I added foam tape tot he back of the pattern paper and attached that to the card base.

Done! Finish! Complete! Now its time to Shake, Shake, Shake!!

Your Next Stamp Birthday Blog Hop!!!

Posted in August 2015, Your Next Stamp Blog Hop by Kreative Kymona

Hello everyone!! Yayyy, my second blog hop featuring new products from Your Next Stamps tickles me pink!!

If you’ve been hopping along, you would have arrived from Deborah’s blog and if you’d like to start from the beginning, you can click on over to the linky at the bottom and start at Jeanie’s blog.

I’m over the top excited about this birthday blog hop and this great release! All of the sets and dies are amazing!! My favorite one is the Cute Alpha Stamp Set and die! I used that set on one of my cards below.

Are you ready for my big reveal? I made two cards to inspire you!

Take a look at my first card:

I have to admit, I’m not a dog or cat fan. I’m totally afraid of them but this card makes me change my mind for just a minute, LOL. I love the how this card turned out. I also love how this stamp set comes with so many small pieces that can be used for so many different card looks.

YNS Supplies: Phoebe with a Wagon Stamp Set and Die Set

Other Supplies: Neenah Desert Storm Cardstock, Black and White Cardstock

Take a look at my second card:

This is my favorite card. I created this card for my daughters new teacher. It’s a back to school card that my daughter will give to her new teacher. I really thing she will enjoy this.

I love making shaker cards. They are super fun and interactive. For this card I decided that I wanted the entire card to be a shaker card. I created the watercolor panel and didn’t want to add anything to it. So I decided to project it behind the plastic.

Check out my process:

I used Versamark Ink and inked up my entire stamp set without taking the stamps off of the sheet they came on. That allowed me to keep letters and numbers nice and even.

After I stamped onto the watercolor paper, I added embossing powder and heat set it.

I used my paint brush and added a good amount of water to the watercolor paper. Then I added my distress ink colors one at a time to the watercolor paper. I did two watercolor washes, heating setting in between each wash. I totally love how this turned out. How could you add anything directly on top of it? So the only way to decorated it with out touching it was to create a full shaker card.

My daughter did write on the back of the watercolor panel before I sealed it in the plastic. I blocked out both names to protect them. I just wanted you to see what the back looks like.

My daughter loves how this card turned out.

Lets take another look at the card:

YNS Supplies: Phoebe with a Wagon Stamp set and die, Cute Alpha Stamp set

Other Supplies: We R Memory Keepers Tool Bundle, Lucy Abrams Just Peachy Sequin, Copic Markers R27, Y17, C3, Vellum, Versamark Ink, Hero Arts White Embossing Powder

So what do you think? I had so much fun creating these cards to inspire all of you and show you the versatility of the stamp sets! Which one of these cards are favorite? I would love to hear from you!

Be sure not to miss any blog along the way, because three lucky commenters will have a chance to win a YNS $50 YNS gift certificate. Winner will be announced on the YNS blog on August 12th. So don’t for get to leave a comment on each of the blogs participating in the blog hop.
