{Clean and Simple} – Big

Posted in CASology Challenge, September 2017 by Kreative Kymona

Hello everyone!!! I’m back with another Clean and Simple Cue Card just for the CASology Challenge!!

This week’s cue card:

Take a look at my card:

When I saw this week’s cue card, I thought of Concord & 9th newest stamp set called Many Thanks Turnabout. The big thanks is perfect for this cue card.

I used Prima Decadent Pie Confection Watercolor to add the pretty goldish color (27) to cardstock first, using Prima Watercolor Flat 10 Brush. Once it dries, I stamped the big thanks right on top using Clearsnap Archival Black Ink.

To finish the card off, I used We R Memory Keepers Corner Chomper to round all four colors.

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

Don’t forget to play along with us this week. You have until Monday at 12noon to enter. The sponsor this week is STAMPlorations.

To create this card:

I cut my card base to an A2 size card (4.25 x 5.5, scored at 5.5).
I trimmed the Fancy Pants Attwell pattern paper to 4 x 5.25 and adhered fun foam to the back of it.
Then adhered it to the card base using Tombow Mono Permanent Adhesive.
After that I used the Mini Misti to stamp the sentiment from the Hero Arts Thanks Stamp and Cut stamp set using Clearsnap Colorbox Archival Wick Ink.
After that I die cut the thanks out of white card stock four times and adhered them together using Tombow Mono Liquid Adhesive. I adhered the stack on top of the pattern paper.

Super, super easy to create.

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 204 - Row

Take a look at my card:

PicTapGo-Image (24)

What an easy cue card this week. My new stamps from Papier Projekt arrived just in time for this challenge. I fell in love the feather border die stamp and thought this set was perfect for this challenge.

To create this card:

I cut the cardstock down smaller then a A2 size card.
Then I stamped the feather stamp four times starting with the darkest color Colorbox Envy Pigment ink to the lightest Colorbox Envy Pigment ink.
After that I stamped the sentiment from the With Love stamp set using the darkest blue ink.

Perfect, right?

Nice and easy!

What do you think? I can’t wait to see what you come up with!

CS Take It Make It: Take a Technique Inspiration

Posted in CS Take It Make It Design Challenge, February 2016 by Kreative Kymona

Hello everyone!! I’m here with CS Take It Make It: Take a Technique Challenge Inspiration for February.

Our theme is Take a Technique: Text Me!!

For this month’s challenge the technique we would like you to use text or script background stamps, or text paper in your projects. Any language, any style. Old book pages, bits torn from magazines, scrapbooking papers.. whatever you can find! … The ‘text’ part does NOT include sentiments, phrase or single word stamps…. think backgrounds!!

This should be super fun to see what you come up with.

Take a look at my card:

Thanks on text (TIMI)

I love how this card turned out!! I used Clarity Stencils-Chinese Lantern and Clarity Stencil Brushes to create the pattern on the texted pattern paper. These two products are my favorite supplies this year thus far.

This is how I created this card:

I placed the stencil over the pattern paper and used two different brushes to apply the Distress Ink Salty Ocean, Peacock Feathers and Mowed Lawn.

stencil and brushes

Here is where the magic happened, I moved the stencil over slightly to the right and applied BoBunny Sugar Glitter Paste, Yummy!!

I let the glitter paste dry and cut the unknown text pattern paper down to 4 by 5.25.

I adhered the pattern paper to the black cardstock with Tombow Extreme Adhesive because I needed the pattern paper to stick securely to the card base because of its weight.

Then I die cut Lawn Fawn Scripty Thanks three times and adhered them together and onto the pattern paper using Tombow Mono Liquid Glue.

I placed a heavy book on top of the finish card to assure the die cut sticks to the pattern paper.

Take a closer look:

Thanks on text 3 (TIMI)

Thanks on text 2(TIMI)

There you go! That’s how I created this card.

So what do you think? I’m in love, are 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 February: A Sprinkle Of Imagination

The prize is a £25 voucher to spend in the online store.

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!!

Wait!! Wait!! I have more: ASOI are also offering an extra 10% off for my blog readers! The code is CSBlog10% and will work from 5-25th of February, with a minimum £5 spend excluding P&P.

Tell me that isn’t good!!

a2z Scrapbooking January 2016 Challenge

Posted in a2z scrapbooking challenge, January 2016 by Kreative Kymona

Second Post for the day
If your looking for So Suzy Stamps January Challenge, click here

Hello everyone!! I’m here with a2z Scrapbooking today with our January Challenge!!!

Happy New Year to all of you!!!! Our new challenge is all about Fireworks (add some glitter and bling)!!!!!

Check out the card I created for this challenge:

Thanks a bunch (a2z)

I used Wink of Stella and Hero Arts Pearls and Gems for my Fireworks!! I went with a thank you card instead of a New Years card because thank you cards are in order for all of the gifts my children received from their relatives.

Creating this card was easy!!

Here’s how:

My card base is from Michael’s Recollections Heavyweight cardstock.
Then I used Simon Says Stamp Stitched Rectangles Die to cut my card panel from Neenah Desert Storm Cardstock.
Then I used Hero Arts Stamp and Cut Thanks and stamped the sentiment and stars.
Then I die cut the Hero Arts Swallowtail Butterfly Fancy Die out and adhered the butterfly to the card panel using glue dots.
For the bling, I added Clear Wink of Stella to the butterfly and the Hero Arts Pearls and Gems Natural Mixed Accents to the card front.

Lets take a closer look:

Thanks closeup (a2z)

So what do you thing? Please let me know.

Amazing isn’t it!! I hope you love what you see and that it inspires you to join us this month. You have the entire month to create a new project and enter it into our challenge. By entering you will have a chance to win a $25 Gift Certificate to the a2z Scrapbooking Store. Winner will be announced on the 7th of February. Good Luck!
