Count Me In…

Posted in Lawnscaping Challenge, November 2014 by Kreative Kymona

Hello everyone!! I’m here today playing along with Lawnscaping Challenge 94: Count Me In!!

This challenge asked us to use numbers somewhere on our project! Boy was I excited to see this challenge. I have so many Lawn Fawn numbers stamp and dies that I’ve haven’t used yet. I was excited to pull them out.

For the past couple of weeks, I’ve had so much fun creating tags and gift boxes. So for this challenge I wanted to do the same.

I create two tags for this challenge. The first one I created yesterday before I even knew about the challenge. I wasn’t sure about this tag because I felt like something was missing in the top right hand corner. So I put the tag down. After seeing the challenge this morning I decided that I will add a number to the corner.

Take a closer look:

Look inside:

What do you think about this tag?

For my second tag, I wanted to use my die cuts to cut out the number and use he negative space. I really love how this tag turned out as well.

Thankful Thanksgiving….

Posted in a2z scrapbooking challenge, November 2014 by Kreative Kymona

Hello everyone!! I’m here today with a2z Scrapbooking and our November Challenge which is Anything Goes!

I decided to go with a Thanksgiving theme.

Thanksgiving is that day where we gather with family and friends to show how grateful we are to them. Big dinners are cook, tables are set and everyone is waiting for the turkey!!

My family is the most important part of who I am. I am grateful for each and everyone of them. I have two children, five brothers and sister, my mom and day, 5 nieces and nephews and so many aunts, uncles and my grandparents. When we get together we have a blast.

Before we have dinner, we gather together, hold hands and go around the room and say what we are thankful for this year. I love doing that because our lives are so busy sometimes we forget to tell each other that we are grateful for them. Once the last person speaks, my grandmother says a prayer and then we sit and eat together as a family.

This year, I wanted to do something extra. I wanted to give my brother and sister something to take with them.

So I create a couple of Thanksgiving tags that have a special note on the back for each of my sibling.

Take a look at my tags:

To get a closer look at all of my tags, please head over to a2z Scrapbooking blog and take a look.

So what do you think? Do you think my siblings will like their tags?

Holiday Card Workshop Day 5

Posted in November 2014, Online Class Homework by Kreative Kymona

Hello everyone!! I’m here today to post my homework from my new Online Card Class!! The new class is Holiday Card Workshop!! I’m so excited about this class.

So, I’m starting with day 5 because I haven’t had a chance to start any of my cards until yesterday which happen to be DAY 5!!

Day 5 just happen to be Gift Tags!! Gift tags are so much fun and nothing gives a wrapped gift a finishing touch like a gift tag.

Today we learned how to make three different tags:

1. Gift Card Tag by Kristina Werner

2. 2-in-1 Tag and Card by Laura Sterckx

3. Window Tags by Yana Smakula (my favorite)

All of the lessons taught today were simple amazing. I truly learned a lot and will share my creations with you.

1. Let’s begin with my take on Kristina’s gift card tag:

Isn’t this gift card holder tag the cutest!! I didn’t punch a hole in the tag yet because I’m not sure how I want to use it.

Take a look at that closure! Kristina taught us how to create that. I thought that was the amazing part of this gift card tag.

I didn’t add a gift card inside yet, because I’m not sure who I’m going to give this tag too.

Now on to the next tag!

2. Here is my take on Laura’s 2-n-1 gift tag and card:

I’m so proud of my tag! This is the first time I built a sense using my stamps and dies. I’ve always been afraid to try for fear of messing up, but I really enjoyed creating this.

Here is the inside of my tag, that now can be a card!! Love it!!

This is what the tag looks like on the side!

Now on to my favorite of the three!!

Yana taught us how to create three different window cards from: easy, medium, hard!

1. This is my take on Yana’s Window tags:

Easy Tag first:

This was an easy window tag to reproduce. I love how pretty it looks just as it is.

2. Medium tag:

This tag is a step up from the first tag. All I did was add foam tape and some pattern paper.

3. Hard tag:

This tag is now a shaker tag!! Yayyy! (Don’t mind my small camera lens behind the tag.)

Here is an extra:

How cute are these tags!!

Now take a look at my card with the Medium tag:

I love the chalkboard look!! Do you?

How cute is this!!!!!!! I love this lesson. My mind is 100 miles per hour on what I can create next, using these ideas.

Take a closer look at my card front:

Yes, that is thread on my card. Can you believe you that? Yes, I used my little sewing machine with the help of my daughter and stitched that window sheet on my card.

Now look at my complete package:

Yayyyy!!! I love this set! I can’t wait to make more. I might use this set as a giveaway!! I love it and want to share it!

I can’t wait to share the rest of the days with you.

Can You Have To Much Watercolor?

Posted in Blog Challenge, Die Cut, Freshly Make Sketches, June 2014, Thank you, Watercolor, Watercolor Backgrounds by Kreative Kymona

Hello everyone, I’m here today with a watercolor card {my favorite} for Freshly Made Sketches #139.

Today’s sketch was created by Rita.

When I say this sketch I knew I wanted to create a watercolor background. I couldn’t help myself. Watercolor makes everything look pretty. I wanted a pretty card with a pretty tag that you could take off of the card and use on a gift.

Take a look at my take on Rita’s sketch:

To create the watercolor background:

For this card I applied 3 different distress ink’s to my craft sheet in a random order very close to one another.

I spritz water on the colors to activate the color to mix them a bit.

I took my watercolor paper and gently placed it on top of the ink to create my watercolor background.

I let the paper dry completely before I added it to my card base.

If you take a closer look at my watercolor paper you will see I scored it for added texture.

For the flagged banners, I used vellum and window sheet to create them. I didn’t want to complete cover the background because it was so pretty so, I used them to create a see through look.
