Wedding Invitations

Posted in March 2016, Wedding Invitations by Kreative Kymona

Hello everyone!! I’m here to share with you some wedding invitations that I created for my cousins wedding in Jamaica, WI this July!!

I was commissioned to create 105 invitations with little directions. The colors are blue, coral and white. That was all I had to go on and i didn’t have a lot time to create them since they needed to go out so that people could make their travel plans.

Take a look at the invites:

Invitation complete

You have the invitation and envelope, reply card and envelope and a ribbon closure.

Check out my journey:

To create the invitation base, I used the envelope punch board to create an envelope but this is no ordinary envelope.

Invitation base

Once these card bases were cut and scored, the actually invite was created digitally and sent to print.

Once they printed, they were cut and adhered inside the blue base with Tombow Stamp Runner Adhesive.

Cut invites

Next up were the envelopes. 105 envelopes were cut using a Stampin’ Trimmer. They were adhered together with Tombow Extreme Adhesive.

Scoring the cardstock is up next.

envelope 2

The reply cards were created digitally as well. Printed and sized perfectly. The envelopes were created for those as well.

Once all of the paper was cut and put together. The invitations were complete.

Invitation sets

I have to admit, I was given a month and a half to complete these and it was hard work.

For this card, I used the Top Dog Dies Pretty Petals 2 Die and die cut the card panel and a watercolor panel.

I adhered the watercolor flower to the card base. Then I used foam adhesive to attach the card panel.

I added a retired Stampin Up large rhinestone in the center.

For this card, I used the Top Dog Dies Pocket Pages Banner Die Set and Top Dog Dies Hello Die Set to create this card.

I die cut all of the pieces out of Snap Studio Just the Basics pattern paper and adhered them to my pocket page card.

To create this card, I just die cut my white cardstock using the two biggest die to create my card front and used only the biggest die for the back panel.

I attached the teal pattern paper behind the front card panel.

I scored a line to the top of the back card panel and added tape to attach the front and the back panel. Since I added a score line the card can open.

I used Simon Says Stamps Lila’s Heart Stamp Set to stamp my sentiment.

Super cute. Cute for a pocket page scrapbook too.

I created this card using Top Dog Dies Wedding Die Set and Top Dog Dies Pocket Pages Summer Die Set.

Top Dog Dies – Insta Mini Wedding Brag Book

Posted in May 2015, Top Dog Dies Tutorials by Kreative Kymona

Hello everyone!! Its Top Dog Die Wednesday!! I’m here today showcasing Top Dog Dies Heart Mini Album Die!!

This die is amazing. Its so easy to use and you could mass produce mini albums/brag books with no problem.

As you know, these days easy is what I need and this project fit perfectly in my schedule.

Take a look at the mini brag book I created:

Yes, its a mini wedding brag book perfect for a new bride to show off her wedding at anytime.

Lets look at some of the inside pages:

Here is how I created this mini brag book in 3 easy steps:

1. I used Top Dog Dies Heart Mini Album Die to cut 6 pages of some retired Stampin’ Up! DSP.

2. I punch 3 holes on the side panel of the book and add 3 retired Making Memories Mini Silver Brads to bind the pages together.

3. I added some random stickers I had left over from years ago to each page of this book.

That’s it! No stamping or anything fussy!

So I know your asking, what size pictures will fit in this mini brag book?

I have the solution for that.

Check out my new Instax Mini 8 Camera!! I love the size and the sizes of the pictures. They are Instagram perfect pictures. This camera comes in many different colors: black, blue, yellow, pink and white.
