Stencil Release Blog Hop + Giveaway

Hello and welcome to Altenew’s July 2019 Stencil Release Blog Hop!! Today we are showcasing brand new stencils. If you arrived here from the talented blog, Kelly Janes, then you are on the right track. If this is your first stop, then you will want to start at the beginning, the Altenew Card Blog.

Take a look at my traveler’s notebook cover page:

Take a look at the inside pages:

I have to admit when I saw the new It’s for You Stamp Set, I knew I had to have it based on a trip I took last year with my daughter to Cuba.

We visited a street art museum, and one of the things that grabbed my daughter’s attention was the rotary phone. She was curious about it and wanted to know how it worked. I laughed and decided to tape her trying to use it.

Here’s how I create this page:

I wanted to keep my design clean and simple.

I used the Tall Alpha Die to decorate the cover of the notebook.

So I stamped the telephone and the sentiment on the right bottom corner of the page using the Mini MISTI and permanent black ink.

Round the edges of the photo.

Mount the photo on top of the cardstock and adhere it to the cover of the traveler’s notebook.

Add your text, and you’re done!

Let’s take another look:

The Ton Washi Tape Release

Posted in March 2019, The Ton by Kreative Kymona

Welcome to the debut of The Tons newest product!! The Ton is celebrating their first washi tape release with two new washi tapes, Pink Peonies and Wildflowers!!

There are some free gifts with purchase promotions ongoing. Head over to The Ton’s Stamps’ blog for more details.

Take a look at my new traveler’s notebooks:

Tell me these aren’t the cutest notebooks you’ve seen in a long time. That washi tape looks fabulous as a cover. Very subtle but striking.

Here’s how I created these notebooks:

Cut, score and punch holes in the kraft cardstock to the 9 x 4.5.

Peel the washi tape out enough to cover the front of the cardstock.

Once the front is on, wrap the tape around the back, covering the entire back side.

Nothing to it. I created three notebooks that fill fit inside my traveler’s journal cover.

To decorate the front, I added a wax seal that says, “Oh, hey”. I used rose gold wax to match the gold in the washi tape.

I also added some journaling cards to the inside.

Let’s take another look:

Totally love how these notebooks turned out. So pretty to say the least.

So, what do you think? Another great release from The Ton!

Prize:

Win one of The Ton’s new washi tapes! To enter, leave a comment on each blog. Effie will choose three winners and announce the winners on The Ton’s blog by March 9. The comment period for this giveaway will close on March 8 at 7pm EST.

Promotion:

It’s time to pick up those stamps and die sets that are on your wish list. The Ton is offering 30% off non new release stamps and dies. The code is “BYEFEB30“. Act fast this promotion will only last for a couple days.

Altenew Watercolor 36 Pan Set Release Blog Hop + Giveaway

Posted in Altenew Blog Hop, August 2018 by Kreative Kymona

Hello everyone and welcome to Altenew’s Watercolor 36 Pan Set Release Blog Hop!! Today we are showcasing Altenew’s Watercolor 36 Pan Set! If you arrived here from the talented Nicole Picadura blog, then you are on the right track. If you arrived here on your own, then you will want to start at the beginning, the Altenew Card Blog so that you don’t miss a thing!

This beautiful set of 36 vibrant watercolor half-pans coordinates perfectly with our line of ink. They are intensely pigmented, fade minimally when drying, and some colors have lovely granulating effects. They are stored in a convenient plastic case, designed with space for your brush (included) and a palette in the lid for mixing. Some of the case lids snap off upon opening and can easily snap back on after you are finished creating so you can store your mixed paints with the rest of the pan colors.

The set contains

36 Artist Grade Watercolor Half-Pans
Plastic Case
Water Brush

Take a look at my Watercolor Traveler’s Notebook:

I recently took a vacation with my daughter to Cuba and it was amazing. The country is a must see. Although the infrastructure is on the decline, you can still see the beauty in the country. We had a blast and learned a lot.

I used the watercolor pan to add color to my pages that would match the colors in the photos.

I love how the watercolors mix and move across the paper. The interesting thing is, I used linen paper and it did well with the watercolors. I was surprised. The colors are vibrant and smooth.

Let’s take a look inside:

The left photo is in Plaza de la Revolucion. The faces on the building are of Che Guevara and Camilo Cienfuegos, who are two important deceased heroes of the Cuban Revolution.

The right photo is of the port of Havana. So pretty!

Taxi anyone!! LOL, I thought this taxi was the cutest thing ever. Three people in the back and the driver in the front. All aboard.

The photo on the left are locals waiting on the bus to come.

the photo on the right is my daughter walking in town.

The photo on the left is a photo of a couple of houses downtown.

The photo on the right is a photo of a women and her children walking down the street.

Both photos were taken from the sky- Hello Havana!

I used different color watercolors on all of these pages. Perfect way to showcase all of the photos.

What is a blog hop without an amazing gift? Yayyy!!

Posted in Altenew Blog Hop, July 2018 by Kreative Kymona

Hello everyone and welcome to Altenew’s July 2018 Stencil Release Blog Hop!! Today we are showcasing all of the new Stencil. If you arrived here from the talented Dana Gong blog, then you are on the right track. If you arrived here on your own, then you will want to start at the beginning, the Altenew Card Blog so that you don’t miss a thing!

Take a look at my Mini Traveler’s Notebook:

Let me introduce to you the Molded Lines Stencil!! I love this stencil because it reminds me of the Continental Airlines who merged with United Airlines in 2012.

My daughter and I are traveling out of the country this month and can’t wait to document our trip. I created a mini traveler’s notebook so that we could document our great adventure each day.

Not only did I decorate the cover but the backside as well.

To do that you simple turn the stencil over so that the lines go in the same direction. Super cool!

I added stickers from the Reflection Collection Paper & Sticker Sheet and stamped the sentiment from the Reflection Collection Mini Stamp Set.

Let the vacation begin!!

What is a blog hop without an amazing gift? Yayyy!!
