Posted in CASology Challenge, January 2017 by Kreative Kymona

Hello everyone and Happy New Year CASology Family!! It’s CASology Tuesday!! We are back with another Clean and Simple Cue Card just for you!!

This week’s cue card:

week-230-cold

Take a look at my card:

happy-winter-cas

For this week’s cue card I used the snowman and sentiment from the Rubber Dance Stamp Frosty Friends stamp set. I picked up my Copic Markers again this week. I actually miss using them so it was fun to play with them for this challenge.

I simple stamped the snowman and the sentiment using the Mini Misti for precision stamping. I love seeing crisp black edges so using the Misti is so important.

I colored the snowman with BG0000,B000, C4,C6, R37,R39, R89, E37, Y38 and YR68.

Nice and easy!

Are you inspired to play along? Please let me know below!

Our sponsor this week is Rubber Dance Stamps!

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!!

I had so much fun creating this tags. They were easy to create.

Here’s how I created these tags:

Then I used retired Stampin’ Up” Endless Wishes and stamp the different snowflakes and sentiment using Lost Lagoon, Soft Sky and Smoky Slate ink.
Then I attached the back to some of the tags and left the others by themselves.
I added the Lost Lagoon Silky Taffeta Ribbon to all of the tags and some rhinestones to two of the tags to finish them off!

Warm Holiday Wishes Tag

Posted in December 2014, Tag You're It by Kreative Kymona

Hello everyone!! I’m here today playing with Tag You’re It!! This is my first time playing with them. I’m happy I found them. I recently started making tags and I love them. They are super fun to make.

The TYIC Designer for his challenge is Tracey McNeely and her tag is fabulous!!

When I looked at her tag, I thought of pops of color. So I decided that I wanted to have a pop of color on my tag too.

Take a look at my card:

I love that pop of that Cable Car Red Wow embossing powder on my gloves.

Not along is it a tag, but it doubles as a card too!! So you can write your message inside instead of the back.

This is how I created my tag:

I cut two tags out of Bazzill Marshmallow cardstock using Reverse Confetti Tag Me, Too.

I used Simon Says Stamp Big Holiday Wishes stamp set to stamp my snowflakes with Versamark ink. Then I embossed them with Hero Arts White Embossing Power.

I stamped my sentiment using Versafine Onyx Black Ink.

I stamped the mitten string with Versafine Onyx Black ink around the hole in the tag.

I stamped my mittens using Versamark ink and embossed with Cable Car Red Wow Emobossing Powder.

I fussy cut the mittens out and adhered them with foam adhesive. I added Clear Wink of Stella on my mittens for a sparkly shine.

I attached my second tag to the back of the first tag with adhesive to create a tag that opens.

I strung Stampin’ Up! Retired Whisper White Sweater Ribbon to finish off my tag.

Nice and easy. So what do you think?

White Stamping

Posted in CS Take It Make It Design Challenge, December 2014 by Kreative Kymona

Hello everyone!! I’m here today with CS Take It Make It Design Team for our December Challenge!

This month’s theme is White Stamping!! That could be white ink, white paint or white embossed stamped image. This technique is so pretty when its complete.

I saw Kristina Werner create a card that had white embossing and I knew I had to give it a try.

So take a look at my card:

Isn’t this such a pretty technique! That white embossing on the blue is so pretty. That pop of red stands out.

Here is how I created my card:

1. I cut my Simon Says Stamp Audrey Blue cardstock on an angle and adhered it to my Neenah Solar 110lb White cardstock using foam adhesive.

2. I used Simon Says Stamp Presents and Ornaments to stamp my snowflakes and bows using Versamark ink.

3. I sprinkled Hero Arts Embossing Powder on my stamped images and heat set it.

4. I added versamark ink to the edge of the a Audrey blue cardstock, added white embossing powder and heat set it for added embossed dimension.

5. I stamped my sentiment using Simon Says Stamp Be Joyful stamp set with Simon Says Stamp Audrey Blue Ink.

6. I used my Copic marker R29 and colored a piece of white cardstock and die cut a heart using the smallest heart from Lawn Fawn Hearts Cuts.

7. I added Clear Wink of Stella to the heart and adhered the heart with foam adhesive.

8. I added Stampin’ Up! Rhinestones to the center of all of my snowflakes.

Easy Peasy! What do you think? Let me know.

Now its your turn!!

You can stamp away to your hearts desire, using white ink, gesso or white paint. You can even stamp an image and then emboss with white embossing powder if you want to too!!

To be clear, you CAN stamp in other colors too, but we need to see some parts of your project have clearly been stamped in white!
