Concord & 9th 2nd Birthday Celebration

Posted in August 2017, Concord & 9th by Kreative Kymona

Hello everyone!! Today I’m so excited to be here celebrating Concord & 9th 2nd Birthday!! Yes, they turn 2 today!!

Time flies when your having fun is such a true statement. I remember when they first started out and to see them grow in such a way feels good as a customer.

I’m so happy that I get to celebrate with them!

Take a look at the card I created:

Concord and 9th, Seriously Thank You for trusting me to showcase your products within my creations!! I truly appreciate it.

This stamp set is totally amazing. The sentiment is so meaningful and powerful. It lets the receiver know that you really thank them.

Here’s how I created this card:

Use distress inks to create the watercolor background on watercolor paper.
Then heat set it so that the watercolor dries completely.
After that, prep the watercolor panel using an anti-static tool.
Stamp the sentiment using Versamark ink.
Pour silver embossing powder of the stamped sentiment.
Brush off the excess and heat set the powder.
Die cut the panel using Neat and Tangle Scalloped Die.
Cut and score the card base to 4.25 x 5.50 scored at 5.5o.
Use a star embossing folder and emboss the card front with stars.
Adhere the watercolor panel to the front of the card base using 3M foam tape.
Add some clear gumdrops to finish the card off.

Nothing to it!!

Announcement:

Head on over to Concord and 9th website to get a look at the entire release. You will not be disappointed.

{Clean and Simple} CASology 203 – Congratulations

Posted in CASology Challenge, June 2016 by Kreative Kymona

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!

For more inspiration, check out my fellow Design Team members blog for more awesome work.

National Craft Month Celebration Blog Hop

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

Happy National Craft Month!! Isn’t this amazing that we have a whole month dedicated to what we love to do, which is creating beautiful things!!

I’ve been super busy this month crafting like crazy. I’ve never been so busy in all of my years of crafting. I have to admit, I love it!! I’m highly stressed but my best work comes to me in times like this.

Right at Home has decided that we would celebrate this amazing month with an amazing blog hop!!

The design team was challenged to create a project using our favorite products and share that with all of you!!

I thought this was a fabulous idea. The only thing is, how do I pick what my favorite product out of all of the goodies I own. LOL!!

Take a look at my card and see if you can guess what my favorite things are:

Blessed (RAH)

Can you see what I see? Oh baby, I’m in love!!

Lets take a closer look:

Can you see all of that foiled goodness now? OMG, I love it!! So now you know one of my favorite products, Thermoweb Deco Foil, any color. The other is Right At Home Scripted Greetings Stamp Set. My signature style is Clean and Simple.

This card looks amazing in person. You can move it back an forth and see all of the different colors.

I’m also a lover of sequin . I didn’t add them to this card because it would over do it and take away from the beautiful foil.

So you want to know how I create this card:

I cut Heidi Swapp Minc Signature Paper to 4.5 by 5.50.

Then I cut Themoweb Deco Foil Rainbow to fit on the front of the water card panel.

I ran it thought my laminator to transfer the foil on to the paper. Since the stars contain toner, the foil stuck to the stars.

After that I stamped the sentiment using the Mini Misti and Versafine Black Onyx ink. I stamped twice so that the sentiment would stand out from the stars.

I sprinkled Stampin’ Up! Clear Embossing powder over the sentiment, since the ink takes a while to dry, adding the embossing powder will give the sentiment an extra kick.

That’s my card!! What do you think? What is your favorite product? Please let me know below.

Now for the hop!! You have to hop along leaving a comment on each of the blogs participating in order to win a prize. More details on the prize, had back to Right At Home Blog.

Next up is fabulous Yuki!! Her projects are always amazing. I can’t wait to see what she created!!

Once again, Happy National Craft Month!!

No Stamping: Joy

Posted in Blog Challenge, Muse Challenge, November 2014, Simon Says Stamp Challenge by Kreative Kymona

Second Post of the Day

The a2z Scrapbooking Blog post is here

Hello everyone! I’m here today playing along with a couple blog challenges. I hardly get to play at times so when I do, I get super excited.

Today I’m here with the Muse Challenge #95. The Muse this week is Caroline.

Take a look at Caroline’s card:

I’m also here with Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: Anything Goes.

I’m also here with Simply Create Too SNOW, SNOW, SNOW or All White Challenge #75.

Take a look at my card:

I just love how my card turned out. I saw the fabulous Laura Bassen create a card like this and I knew I had to give it a try. I love the simplicity in the design. So I gather all of my supplies and pulled this card off.

Creating this card was easy because everything was die cut!

I love how the pop of red from Lawn Fawn’s Joy die stand out on Papertrey Ink’s Journal Card 5 Die and matches the hint of red on the pattern paper.

I used Technique Tuesday’s Story Card Die to cut Lawn Fawn’s Snow Day patten paper.

I added Pretty Pink Posh 4mm Sparkling Clear Sequins and 6mm Sparkling Clear Sequins.

I tied Stampin’ Up! Whisper White Bakers Twine on the Stampin’ Up! clothespin.

Easy and no stamping.

So, what do you think? Please let me know below. I would love to hear from you.

You Rock Teacher!!

Posted in August 2014, Back to School, Blog Challenge, Simon Says Stamp Challenge by Kreative Kymona

Hello everyone! I’m here today with Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Blog Challenge and Word Art Wednesday.

The theme is my favorite!! It’s Back To School! Yayyyyy! If you’ve been following my blog you know how I feel about new paper, pens, pencils, notebooks and crayons. I love the smell of new school supplies. I get excited when my daughter gets her list from school. We are one of the first people in the store. I end up buying way to many supplies, LOL.

The card I made is for all of the teachers in the world. Teachers have the hardest job in the world to me. They deal with little people all day and those little people have different personalities. Can you imagine all of them talking at the same time, lol!! Oh no!!

On a serious note, they are responsible for preparing our children for life. They teach them all of the fundamentals they will need to be great people in this world. That is a big job. With that said, I like to let my children’s teacher know they are appreciated.

Take a look at my card:

I just love how this card came out. The embossing looks so good against my favorite color cardstock, Audrey Blue. I also used Simon Says Stamp Teacher’s Pet New Release for this card.

Here is how I created this card:

1. My card base measures 4.25 x 5.50 scored at 5.50 is Simon Says Stamp Audrey Blue cardstock!! So pretty to me. My card panel measures 4 x 5.25 and its Neenah Solar White cardstock.

2. I used Simon Says Stamp Scrambled Letters Stencil and Wendy Vecchi White Embossing Paste to create my background on my card panel.

3. Then I used Simon Says Stamp Lunch Box Notes Craft Die to cut my frame out of Stampin’ Up! Daffodil Delight cardstock, the stars out of Stampin’ Up! Real Red cardstock and the small window out of Simon Says Audrey Blue cardstock.

4. I used Simon Says Stamp Teacher Craft Dies to cut the word teacher out of Stampin’ Up! Real Red cardstock.

5. Now its time to put my card together. I stamped “You Rock!” from Simon Says Stamp Lunch Box Stamp Set with Versamark Ink and then embossed it with Hero Arts White Embossing Powder.

6. I attach the square piece to the frame and two of the stars to the embossed panel using foam adhesive. I attached the teacher die and one of the stars with Tombow Multipurpose Glue.

7. For the finishing touch, I added a Clear Wink of Stella to the stars and the die cut teacher.

Nicely done! What do you think? Let me know.

By the way, this card was made for my Blogging and Instagram friend Malini from My Little Pink Craft Kitchen. She is a school teacher and I wanted to show her my appreciation. Enjoy!!
