Thank you Post cards

Posted in November 2015, So Suzy Stamps by Kreative Kymona

Hello everyone!! I’m here today with So Suzy Stamps!!

I’m currently on a couple college tours with my kids. Yes, I have a 17 year old son who will graduate in June and I still can’ believe it.

We are currently walking on campus so let me jump in so that I don’t walk into trees while typing my post, LOL!!

Our challenge this month is all about Thanksgiving/Fall so I thought it was fitting to create thank you postcards to send those that we are thankful for.

Take a look at what I created:

Thank you postcard (SSS)

I created a bunch of thank you postcards to send to people I’m thankful for. If you want to see how I created these please head on over to So Suzy Stamps Blog to check out my process.

I have to go now, walking and typing isn’t easy as I thought.

Before I go, did you know that So Suzy Stamps can be found on Instagram, Facebook, Pinterest, Twitter and Periscope? Yes, you should join us there and find more inspirations and fun!!

Thank you for stopping by!

YNS Sketch and Color Challenge #20

Posted in August 2015, Your Next Stamp Sketch and Color Challenge by Kreative Kymona

Hello everyone!!! I’m here today with Your Next Stamp (YNS) and this week’s Sketch and Color Challenge #20!!

Each challenge has a sketch and a color combo to choose from.

Take a look at the sketch:

Take a look at the color combo:

Once again I choose to go with the sketch!! Take a look at my card:

YNS: Plant Some Kindness, Teal Gumdrops

Other Supplies: Lawn Fawn Sweater Weather, Copic Markers, My Favorite Things Hybrid Black Ink, Clear Wink of Stella, Foam Tape

I have to say this was a hard sketch for me. I couldn’t figure out what to do or what stamp set I wanted to use.

So I decided to go with a stamp set that I haven’t used yet.

This card was easy to create. I simply cut my cardstock and pattern paper to different size and adhered them to the card base.

I stamped my image using MFT Hybrid Black Ink and colored the images with some Copic markers: Y06, R29, G17E25, E31.

I pop the stamped panel up with foam tape.

I add three gumdrops to the bottom right corner.

So are you ready for the new challenge?

You have until August 20th at midnight EST to play along and submit your project on the YNS Blog post. One random participant will win a $15 gift certificate to the Your Next Stamp Store. If YNS stamps or dies are the focal point then the winner receives and additional $5 gift certificate fro a total of $20. The winner will be announced on the YNS Blog the Sunday after the challenge closes.

CASology 156 – Line

Posted in CASology Challenge, July 2015 by Kreative Kymona

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

This week’s cue card is super simple!! The shortest distance between to points is a straight line!!!

This week we are all about lines!!

Take a look at my card:

I went with Chevron lines!! Those embossed chevron lines are totally amazing.

The lines in the banner and the lines in the leaves are a plus!!

Here’s how I created this card:

1. Cut my card base to an A2 size card, 4.25 x 5.50.

2. I used Stampin’ Up! Chevron Embossing Folder to create my card panel.

3. I used Lawn Fawn Our Friendship Grows stamp set and die set to create my flower and leaves focal point.

4. I used Copic Marker Y32, Y35, Y38, G07, E33, E35, E37 to color the flower and leaves.

5. I stamped the sentiment from the same stamp set and flag the end.

6. I adhered the card panel with fun foam to the card base. I adhered the leaves to the back of the flower with tape runner and the banner to the card panel with foam tape.

7. I added Clear Wink of Stella the flower. I added to crystal clear gumdrops underneath the banner for balance.

I love how this card turned out!! I hope you do to! Let me know below.

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

CS Take It Make It: Take a Stamp Inspiration Photo

Posted in CS Take It Make It Design Challenge, May 2015 by Kreative Kymona

Hello everyone! I’m here today with CS Take It Make It Design Team for our CS Take It Make It: Take a Stamp Challenge Inspiration Photo!!!

This month’s theme is Take a Stamp!! That means take any stamp and create something, anything goes!! Now if that isn’t easy, I’m not sure what is!!

Mother’s Day is this Sunday. Happy Mother’s Day to all of you who are mother’s, mothers-to-be, and who are mother figures to others.

Take a look at my card:

I decided to create a CAS Mother’s Day card for my mother to inspire you to take a stamp, any stamp to create your project for Mother’s Day!!

Don’t you just love these bears from Mama Elephant called Bear Hugs. This mama bear really shows her cub that she loves them. The eye to eye contact is an amazing feature with this stamp set!

I decided to keep my mother’s card very, very clean and simple.

Here’s how:

1. I stamped my bears on a watercolor card panel using Ranger Archival Jet Black Ink.

Ranger Archival Jet Black Ink is a waterproof ink so it won’t bleed when I watercolor.

2. I used my new Akashiya Sai Watercolor Brush Pen Set to watercolor the bears and the ground.

I love these watercolor pens. They are super vibrant and moves well with water. I love how the bears looks like they have texture.

3. I stamp the “thank you”, from Mama Elephant Bear Hugs stamp set.

4. I stamped the “mom”, from WPLUS9 Love Mom stamp set.

5. I was going to add some sequin to the card panel but I decided to leave it without it.

6. I attached my card panel to the card base with a piece of fun foam.

Super simple and easy. I used 3 different stamp sets and so can you!!

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 May is: WOW! Embossing Powders.

Here are the prizes this month:

A set of 6 vintage embossing glitters in a case and a lace stamp!!

Our second winner is our Design Winner. This winner is chosen by our DT, who all vote for their favorite design from all of the entries. This winner will have their winning project published in Craft Stamper Magazine, they will have a GDT slot for an upcoming challenge, and will also feature in their very own Winners Profile blog post!

Now if that isn’t a reason to play along I’m not sure what is!!

I can’t wait to see what you come up with.

So Suzy Stamps May Challenge!!

Posted in May 2015, So Suzy Stamps Challenge, Thank you by Kreative Kymona

Second post for today

If your looking for the CS Take It Make It post, click here

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!!!

Waffle Flower Challenge – Photo Inspiration

Posted in January 2015, Waffle Flower Craft Blog Challenge by Kreative Kymona

Hello everyone!! Happy New Year to all of you (just in case this is your first time visiting me).

I’m so excited today!!! This is my first post as a Waffle Flower Crafts Design Team Member!!!

So I have to admit something to all of you. I planned this post two weeks ago because for the new year I want my post to be scheduled and ready to go out. So I did everything I needed to do. I hit schedule and I thought I was set. Until I went back to preview it and I realized I couldn’t find it. I started to panic. I couldn’t find the post. Something told me to have my brother check his email and there it was. I thought I was going to cry. I sent the post out, but it wasn’t in my feed. That’s because I didn’t change the year from 2014 to 2015 so it was under my archive but everyone who gets emails from me received the post, even the Twitter world.

I was so scared that I messed things up. I pulled the post and changed the date and I deleted it from Twitter. I emailed Tessa and she assured me that everything will be ok. So those of you who get emails from this blog, received a sneak peak already.

So with that said:

I’m working really hard to make this year one of the best years ever. Thanks for coming on this journey with me.

So without farther ado, lets get started.

Our first challenge for the year is Photo Inspiration Challenge. Take a look at the colors below.

Aren’t these colors pretty together. It give off a very warm feeling. It makes me want an cup of hot chocolate to drink while I create.

So now that you’ve had a chance to see the colors for yourself and how they look in a room, take a look at my card:

What do you think? I really love how my card turned out. I have to admit, I’ve never made a card using a photo for inspiration before.

I looked at this picture for a couple of days before I sat to create. I thought long and hard about what I wanted to create. Once I figured out what stamp set and die I wanted to use, I shopped my paper stash for the colors.

I was worried because I didn’t remember seeing all of these colors in my stash. Once I found them, I knew I was ready to create.

So here is how I did it:

1. I created my A2 size (5.50 x 4.25) card base using Stampin’ Up! Rose Red cardstock.

2. I embossed the front of the card base using Stampin’ Up! Polka Dot embossing folder.

3. I cut a small piece of Simon Says Stamp Soft Navy and Dark Chocolate cardstock then embossed it with Stampin’ Up! Perfect Polka Dot Embossing Folder.

4. I attached the two pieces, one on top of the other, with tape. Then I used Waffle Flower Crafts Flower Circles Die Set and cut a stitch circle out of the Stampin’ Up! Lost Lagoon cardstock.

5. I stamped the “thank you” sentiment from Waffle Flowers Crafts 100% Love Stamp Set with Stampin’ Up! Rose Red Ink.

6. I attached the stitched circle die cut to the stamped thank you sentiment piece.

7. I stamped the “hi” sentiment from Waffle Flower Craft 100% Love Stamp Set with Stampin’ Up! Lost Lagoon Ink.

8. I attached the hi sentiment to the front of the circle with foam adhesive.

9. I attached some Pretty Pink Posh 4mm and 6mm sparkling clear sequin randomly on my card front.

Wala!! My card is complete. Easy as 1-2-3!

So what do you think? Did I meet the photos expectations? Let me know. I would love to hear from you!!

I hope my card gives you some inspiration to participate in the Photo Challenge. It runs for two weeks, starting today, January 12th and ending January 25th.

Now its your turn to play along.

Some of the fine details are:

Happy Holidays and Giveaway!!

Posted in December 2014, Sweet Stamp Shop by Kreative Kymona

Hello everyone!! I’m here today on the Sweet Stamp Shop sharing another gift packaging.

I’m always looking for different ways to present gifts to people that I care about. I think it gives an added touch to the gift. So thanks to my new blogging friend Nicole from Unity Handmade, who taught me how to make this awesome packaging.

Well today’s gift is for my daughter’s teacher. Teacher’s get so many gifts from their students. Which means teacher’s have to write thank you notes to show their appreciation. So as apart of my daughters gift to her teacher, we included thank you cards.

Now you can just give them the cards wrapped in a nice ribbon or clear box but made a really cute package out of pattern paper that houses the thank you cards.

Take a look:

Can you image getting a set of cards in this packaging. I love this little box.

Take a look at the opening:

The thank you cards fit so neatly inside of the box. This box holds 4 cards and envelopes.

I used the following stamp set to create my box and cards.

Holiday Sentiment

Check out the complete set:

Want to know how I created this gift packaging and cards, please head on over to the Sweet Stamp Shop to get all of the instructions.

So what do you think? Would you like to receive a set like this? If you leave a comment on the Sweet Stamp Shop blog post by 11:45pm EST, I will pick a lucky winner to receive this set, just in time for the holidays.

You don’t want to miss out on this one!!
