{CASology and Simple} CASology – Melt

Posted in CASology Challenge, March 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:

I have to say this cue card was so hard for me. I was challenged to use STAMPlorations Stitched Winter Landscape die and create a card that represented the cue card.

I decided to create a scene with snow melting from the ground, building and trees. The sun has finally come out of hiding to warm us up.

I die cute the trees and hills and used Copic markers to color them in. I used Simon Says Stamp Happy and Smile stamp set to stamp the sun and the sentiment using Clearsnap Colorbox Petal Point Ink and Colorbox Archival Pigment Black Ink.

Nice and Easy.

What do you think?

{Clean and Simple} CASology 214 – Beach

Posted in CASology Challenge, September 2016 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:

Week 214 - Beach

Take a look at my card:

Hello Friend (CAS)

I have I told you how much I do not like the fall or winter! I hate being cold and to see the summer end is killing me. I love how we are using this cue card now! The weather is changing and its no longer 90 degrees outside. So going to the beach is about to be in our distant memory.

When I sat down to create my card, I immediately thought of So Suzy Stamps new release. The Beach Grass stamp to be exact!! This stamp set is just perfect for this week’s challenge.

I love how the grass gives the feeling of motion, the nice ocean breeze. Oh when I close my eyes, I can feel it! Can you?

Creating this card was easy as 1-2-3!

I used a A2 (4.25×5.50) size card base to start with.
Then I used the Mini Misti to stamp the Beach Grass stamp set across the front of the card in black.
After that I used Concord & 9th Flourish stamp set to stamp the sentiment.
Last but not least, I rounded the top right corner for added interest.

Nice and easy, I must say. I love how the black and white keeps the card elegant. Concord & 9th sentiment font is so fitting for this card as well.

Guest Designer: Sparkle and Shine Challenge Part 2

Posted in December 2015, Sparkle and Shine Challenge by Kreative Kymona

Hello everyone!! I’m back again today with the Sparkle and Shine Challenge as the Guest Designer for the month.

Here is the photo inspiration that I used to create my card:

Sparkle and Shine

Take a look at my card:

Happiest of Holiday (S&S)

I have to say I struggle with this photo inspiration this time around. At first I played with all of the colors in the photo and my daughter said no. The colors were to dull. So I decided to go with just two of the colors.

I stamped My Favorite Things Santa’s Elves tree and fussy cut them out. Then I adhered them to my card front. After that I added some sequin as ornaments on the tree. Then I stamped the sentiment and I was done!!

Super easy!

So what do you think? Please let me know.

This challenge runs for two weeks. You have until December 28, 2015 at 11:55pm to enter for a chance to win a super awesome prize!!

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 for the month of September.

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!!

Take a look at my card:

I love how my little tree turned out!! I love the look of all of those fall colors. I’m a Summer girl but Fall sure is pretty too.

Here is how I created this card:

I used Lawn Fawn Small Stitch Square Stackables to die cut my stitched square panel.

I used Hero Arts Color Layering Fall Trees Stamp Set and layered stamped my leaves. I used Lawn Fawn Freshly Cut Grass, Lobster, Fake Tan and Walnut.

I stamped my sentiment from the same stamp set and stamped it with the Walnut ink.

I added Lawn Fawn Trimming around the card panel.

I attached the card panel to an orange panel then added those panels to my card base.

I added Lucy Abrams Just Peachy and Rainforest Sparkly Shaker Sequin to the card front.

I love how this turned out!! Now its your turn to play along with us!!!

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 July is: STAMPlorations!

There’s No Place Like Home….

Posted in CASology Challenge, October 2014, One Layer Card by Kreative Kymona

Hello everyone!! I’m here today with Casology Challenge Week 118: Home!

First let me say Thank you to Judy and the other ladies over at CASology for choosing my candy apple card as an Honorable Mention. I was so excited to see my card on the list. Just in case you missed that card you can find it here.

Now on to the card for this week.

When I first saw the cue word, I wasn’t sure what to do because I do not have any home stamps, dies nothing. I have pattern paper with homes on them but that didn’t appeal to me.

On Wednesday, as I was cleaning up and organizing my dies, I found a Lawn Fawn Die that I didn’t even know I had.

Its the Happy Trails die set. I said to myself, why do I have this and not the stamp set. That didn’t make sense to me. I look thought my stamps every day and have never seen a set that matches this. So, I didn’t give it a second thought.

On Thursday, something told me to check my stamp sets to check if I had the matching stamps that goes with that die. If I do not have that set, then I would give the die set away. So, I check and BAM, there was the stamp set. I laughed so hard because we are all guilty of buying stamps, dies and there tools and forgetting that we even have certain things.

So, I looked at the stamp set and wondered what can I do with this set? What did I buy it for? Then it hit me, people live in there RV’s too. I do have a home stamp. Now I can enter the challenge!!

Here is my card:

Yeah, I can see a family calling this RV home. Out in the woods, enjoying nature and not having to worry about anyone bothering them. Imagine moving your entire home from state to state without having to pack. I love it!!!

I used these Copic colors to color my RV: YR02, YR04, YR07, R24,N4, N5, BG02, Y15 and Trees: G02, G07

I created a mask to cover the entire card front except the circle. I used Simon Says Stamp Audrey Blue Ink for the sky and Ranger Archival Ink Leaf Green Ink for the grass.

So what do you think? Can this pass as a home? Let me know what you think.
