The MISTI makes repeat stamping so easy and fun to do. It has changed the stamping world tremendously. Paired with Technique Tuesday stamps, creating cards are so easy.

Here’s how I created this card:

Cut the card base to 4.25 by 11, scored at 5.50.

Place the card base into the MISTI bottom right hand corner.

Place Technique Tuesday What a Guy nail stamp where you want to start stamping.

Ink up the stamp with Versamark ink and close the door.

Repeat stamping along the left side of the card, turning the nail stamp around.

Set the base card aside.

Create a gift tag using We R Memory Keepers Tag Punch Board.

Decide on the sentiment and place the tag into the MISTI.

Figure out the place of the sentiment by placing the stamps on the tag.

Close the door and the stamps are set.

Ink up the stamps with Altenew Crisp Permanent Black Ink and stamp.

Repeat the stamping if the stamp isn’t as crisp as you like.

Stamp the nail stamp 2 more times on the same color cardstock as the card base and die cut it with Altenew Mini Blossom die cutting machine.

Attach the die cut nails to the tag.

Add a brad to the tag and attach the tag to the card base bottom right hand corner using 3M double-sided foam tape.

Done!

Hello everyone!! I’m here today with the Where Creativity Meets C9 Blog Challenge Design Team!! Our challenge this month is Christmas!!

To finish the tag off, add some glitter to the front of the tag and add sweater ribbon.

Lets take a look inside.

{Clean and Simple} – Cake

Posted in CASology Challenge, September 2017 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:

Take a look at my card:

For this card, I wanted a fun card shape since the cue card is cake. So I used Pretty Pink Posh Scallop Circle Tag die to cut out two pieces of watercolor paper.

Scoring the second die at the top of the tag and adding adhesive will allow you to create a card.

Stamp the the cake image from Right At Home Sweet Birthday on the front and the sentiment inside the card using Colorbox Jet Black Ink.

I used Jane Davenport Mermaid Markers to watercolor in the image.

Cards in all sizes are fun!!!

Nice, simple and easy. What do you think? Are you inspired to play along? Please let me know below!

How to Create a Sprinkle Turnabout Gift Bag

Posted in August 2017, Concord & 9th, where creativity meets C9 by Kreative Kymona

Second Post for the today
If your looking for the Altenew Baby Mini Album, click here

Hello everyone!! I’m here again showcasing the Sprinkles Turnabout Stamp set and the Sprinkles Tag Set from Concord & 9th as apart of their 2nd Birthday Celebration!!

Lets take a look:

Yes, I created a gift bag using the Sprinkles Turnabout stamp set and the Sprinkles Tag Set!

I love how this cute little bag turned out.

Here’s how I created it:

The tag:

Using the Sprinkles Turnabout stamp create the sprinkle pattern on a piece of white cardstock, with 4 different ink colors. Note: Follow the direction on the back of the package to line up the stamp perfectly to get the even pattern.
Stamp the sentiment in the center of the pattern with black ink.
Ink up the stamp again this time using Versamark ink and sprinkle black embossing power over the sentiment.
Heat set the powder for a raised intense sentiment.
Use the Sprinkles Tag die to cut out the tag.
Use We R Memory Keepers Power Punch to punch a hole at the top of the tag.

The bag:

Create the bag with We R Memory Keepers Box Punch Board.
Before folding the bag, use the small sprinkle stamp and Versamark Ink to create sprinkles all over the bag.
Sprinkle clear embossing powder on top and heat set. This gives the image a translucent look.
Use ribbon to close the bag and attach the tag. Once the bow is tied, run a piece of string under the bow and attach a couple charms.

Pretty amazing to see how a stamp set can transform a piece of cardstock.

So, what do you think? Will you use the Sprinkles Turnabout stamp set and die to create a couple of gift bags? Let me know. I would love to hear from you.

Using Neat and Tangled Scalloped Die set cut out the tag.

Using the Mini Misti, stamp the Dragonfly and the sentiment from Rubber Dance Stamps Beautiful Bugs and Something Wonderful stamp set using black ink.

I add gesso on the top of the tag and let it dry.
Then I blended Distressed Ink Mustard Seed, Spiced Marmalade, Fired Brick and Seedless Preserve.
After that, I used Rubber Dance Stamps Round in Circles stamped paired with StazOn Jet Black Ink to stamp the circles.
Then I used the Rubber Dance Stamps Think Again stamp set to stamp the sentiment with the StazOn Ink.
To finish the tag off, I colored the Crinkle Ribbon with Mustard Seed reinker and added it to the tag.

Thats four layers!!! Yayyy!

Posted in a2z scrapbooking challenge, December 2016 by Kreative Kymona

Hello everyone!! I’m here today with a a2z Scrapbooking Challenge. The theme this month is Anything but a Card!!

Take a look at my tag:

Here is how I created this tag:

I gather all of my supplies needed to create a tag: Hero Arts Joyful Tiding Tag Set, Hero Arts Raspberry Ink, Hero Arts Black Ink, Lucy Abrams Ivory Sequin, We R Memory Keepers Fuse Tool, We R Memory Keepers Photo Sleeves, and Tombow Mono Adhesive Plus, We R Memory Keepers Crop-a-dile and a ColorBox Art Dauber.

I die cut three tags so that I could stack them on top of each other. Then I used the sponge dauber to add some color using the Hero Arts Raspberry Jam Ink.

Once the top tag was inked to my liking, I adhered the two additional tags with Tombow Mono Adhesive Plus.

Stencil Tag – a2z Scrapbooking September 2016 Challenge

Posted in a2z scrapbooking challenge, September 2016 by Kreative Kymona

Hello everyone!! I’m here today with a new a2z Scrapbooking Challenge. The theme this month is Make It A Tag!!

Take a look at the card I created:

Hello Tag (a2z)

I used Hero Arts Asian Flower Pattern Stencil and Distress Inks (Scattered Straw, Fossilized Amber, Spiced Marmalade and Barn Door) to create the background on the white tag that I cut out by hand.

Then I used Hero Arts Hello Stamp and Cuts set to cut out the word hello and adhered it to the front of the tag with Tombow Mono Multi Liquid Glue. After that I stamped the rest of the sentiment underneath the die cut.

I added a white ribbon to the top of the tag to finish it off.

Super, super easy to create.

CS Take It Make It: Using Different 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 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 tag:

Hello Tag (TIMI)

I have to admit I’m super excited about this tag. I don’t usually create tags, much less one with all of this ink on it, but I have to say I really had fun creating this tag.

Let’s check out how I created this:

I gather my supplies that I needed.

Some distress inks (spiced marmalade, scattered straw, shabby shutters and broken china)
A blending tool
A tag
A stamp (darkroom door butterfly garden)
hello die cut
crinkle ribbon

tag supplies (CSTIMI)

I used the ink blending tool to apply the ink to tag, overlapping the colors for seamless blending.

ink blending (CSTIMI)

Then I sprayed water in my hand, then sprinkled the water onto the tag. The inks reacts to water so it creates water spot on the tag. Let the tag dry.

water splatter (CSTIMI)

Once the tag is dry, spray some wild honey distress spray stain to the tag. Let that dry.

ink sprayed (CSTIMI)

After that ink up the stamp with waterproof ink and stamp the image.

stamped image (CMTIMI)

Once the image is on the tag, ink the edges with wild honey distress ink.

Inked edges (CMTIMI)

Now that the tag is done, I inked up the ribbon with the wild honey spray and heat set the ribbon.

inked ribbon (CMTIMI)

You add the ribbon to the tag. I felt like this card needed a sentiment. So I die cut 3 hello’s from Mama Elephant’s Venice Envelope die set.

Take another look:

Hello Tag (TIMI)

So what do you think? I love how this tag 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!
