Thank you (SSS)

I wanted to say thank you to Suzy for staking me on Instagram, that is how we met if you didn’t know. Once we started talking, there was no stopping. I don’t think she knew I was in my car, parked and ready to catch my train but waited so we could finish our conversation. I can’t believe its been a year!!

I also wanted to say thank you to all of my teammates!! All of you have been super doper awesome to work with. I love this team, stress-free and fun as hell!!

Do you want to see where the inspiration came from for this card?

Take a look:

I just love these gift cards from Starbucks. They are such a great source of inspiration for me. It screamed So Suzy card!! LOL!!

Here is how I created this card:

I used Create a Smile snowflake stencil and I used Versamark ink and stamped on top of the stencil.
Then I sprinkled Hero Arts White Embossing powder on top and heat set the snowflakes.
I allowed the paper to cool down, then I stamped the Thank you So Suzy Stamp with Versamark ink and sprinkled Hero Arts Liquid Platinum Embossing and heat set it.

Super simple and easy to replicate.

So what do you think? Please let me know!

Hello everyone again!! I’m here with So Suzy Stamps and our May Challenge!!

Have you seen the new stamps that were released today!! Simply amazing!! Head on over to the store and see for yourself. I also included a link up above for you. All of the stamps are super cute and adorable. Perfect for our new challenge this month which is Thank You!!

Check out the card I created for this challenge:

This is just the beginning!! The rest of the Design Team created some amazing projects featuring some of the new stamps as well. Check out Suzy’s blog.

Creating this card was rather simple. It’s a matter of layering the cardstock and pattern paper.

The amazing thing about this particular stamping is the repetitiveness of the it. To achieve that I used my Misti tool!! I have to say, this tool really comes in handy for me when doing stamping like this.

Take a look:

I used So Suzy Stamps Dress Form to create this repeated stamping.

I used So Suzy Stamp Thank You to stamp my sentiment using Hero Arts Ombre Butter to Orange Ink.

I attached my layers with adhesive. I added Pretty Pink Posh 4mm Sparkling Clear Sequin and 6mm of Sparkling Clear Sequins to my card front.

I rounded the corners of my card panels with my We R Memory Keepers Corner Chomper.

Nice and easy!!! Now its your turn and I can’t wait to see what you come up with!!!

Take a look at the card I created for this hop:

(Wow, can you believe I took this photo at 1:46am. In totally darkness. Thanks to my new Foldio. I will do a separate blog post about it.)

I wanted my card to be super clean and simple. I choose to stamp two roses because we are looking forward to year number two!!

I stamped my roses with My Favorite Things Hybrid Ink Pad.

Then I used Copic Marker YR02, YR04, YR07 to color my roses.

On the inside of my card I used Simon Says Stamp Sending and Wishing Stamp set to add the sentiment using the same ink.

Super simple, elegant and pretty!! Happy Birthday So Suzy Stamps!! I wish you many more!!

CASology 136 – Basket and Giveaway!

Posted in CASology Challenge, Giveaway, March 2015 by Kreative Kymona

Hello everyone!! It’s CASology Tuesday!! We are back again with another Cue Card for you!!

So this cue word seems easy, right? Well not so easy. I had nothing, nothing in my stash that screamed “Basket”. I search all of my retired stamps and my new stamps that haven’t been touch yet and I couldn’t find anything with a basket.

Then I remember, the light bulb went off, I received some new stamps for an upcoming release from So Suzy Stamps and guess what stamp was in that package. Yes, a basket of apples!! I was super excited. I’m still in the race with my fellow DT members!!

Take a look at my card:

Yes, this basket of apples saved the day for me. To create this card was super easy minus the coloring.

1. I cut my card base to an A2 size card (4.25 x. 5.50). I cut a piece of Lawn Fawn Sweater Weather Patten Paper and adhered it to the front of my card base.

2. I used My Favorite Things Die-namics Stitched Rounded Rectangle STAX die to cut out a piece of white cardstock.

3. I stamped my image and colored it in with Copic Markers; W4, Y13, Y15, Y19, E31, E33, E35, E37, R22 R24 and N5.

4. I stamped my sentiment from Lawn Fawn Good Teacher stamp set.

5. I adhered the white panel to the front of my card base with foam adhesive.

6. I added some Clear Wink of Stella to my apples and belly ban on my basket.

That was it! Nice and easy thanks to So Suzy Stamps!! So since her basket of apples saved the day for me.

I’m doing a giveaway!!!! Two lucky winners will win a pre-release Basket of Apples stamp!

All you have to do is leave a comment below letting me know which medium you prefer to color with. You have until Monday, March 9th at 11:59 to leave a comment for a chance to win.
