Kween Bee Kreations

Sk8 Birthday

A simple birthday card put together for my nephew. 

Using the stamp set, Extreme Elements, I created 3 skateboards that matched the gift bag we used to package his gift.  The sentiment is from the stamp set Curly Cute.

It was so cute - when he opened the card he said "How does Kris make these cards so good?"  It's always nice to have a fan!  No matter how old they are.  :)

Here's what the gift bag looked like.  It's always fun to make a hand-made card to match your gift bag or wrapping paper!

Robert Rocks

My step-son Robert, turned 13 yesterday ... here he is with one of his gifts... a new phone!

Above is a card I made for Robert, from my Dad who is in Iraq.

Below is the card I made from my husband & I.  It was fun paper piecing this stack of gifts. 

Devlin - You Rock!

I made this card over 2 weeks ago ... with my son, Devlin in mind. 

After the tough week we've had with my Mom (and his Grandma) passing, he deserves this fun card.  Even though there have been many sad, teary moments for him - he's been such a trooper through it all.

The Extreme Dirt Bike stamp (front and center image) is a single stamp that is available FREE through Sale-a-Bration.

I've collected so many stamp sets, that I decided to start a small collection for my son, Devlin.  I chose the Extreme Dirt Bike stamp to kick off his collection.  I plan to earn the following single stamps for him through Sale-a-Bration.

• Extreme Guitar
• Extreme Skateboard
• Extreme Snowboard
• Extreme Surfboard

My son is creative & is also a little collector.  I thought starting him off with his own collection of stamps would provide him & I another way to connect as Mommy & son.

Thank You in Three's

I received some bad news in relation to my Mom's health this morning, so I'm not feeling up to blogging this evening. 

But, I did take some time to release stress through stamping and I wanted to share the results with you.  I think the cards turned out very pretty.

I did a Stamping 101 presentation at my work yesterday and wanted to make a thank you card (and small gift - see my card gallery) for the participants.

Please feel free to contact me for details on any of these cards.

Pals Paper Arts (PPA7)

Pals Paper Arts challenge number 7 is up and ready for you to play!

This weeks challenge is a sketch challenge.  Our sketches are all designed by Margaret Moody.  It's a good one, don't you think?

The rules are simple:

• Create using the sketch provided above
• Upload your card to Pals Paper Arts by Tuesday, September 15 (Noon CST)
• If you upload to an online gallery, enter PPA7 in the keyword section
• Most importantly ... play, play, play!

You'll notice that for my card today, I simply flipped the sketch on its side.  That is the whole intention of sketches - they are open for creative interpretation!

I used a bunch of new goodies on this card - including the Woodgrain background stamp and Extreme Elements stamp set.  I absolutely love the possibilities this set holds.

These graphic images allow for some stamping fun.  I used the same set, Extreme Elements (item #115181, set of 6, $26.95) on my Pretty in Pink card that I posted yesterday. 

While this set seemed very "masculine" to me at first, I quickly realized that it can be used for girlie or gender neutral creations too.  

Prepare to see many more creations using this funky stamp set.  I even used this set digitally using My Digital Studio on one of my digital scrapbook pages that you can see here (2nd page).

I hope you'll join the Pals Paper Arts design team and play along with our challenges.  We are very excited to see your artwork.

Pretty in P{ink}

One thing I love about this card is that it uses two different pinks.  I don't get many opportunities to use pink given that I live in a house full of the male species. 

I used Pretty in Pink from the Soft Subtles color family and Melon Mambo from the new In Color collection.  Personally, I own all of the Stampin' Up! Classic stamp pads from each color family (including the new In Colors).

Having access to the different color families makes card making a breeze.  While it can be quite an expense to buy them all at once, you can start your collection slowly by purchasing one color family at a time.

Why not try my Got Ink Mystery Hostess program and start stocking your craft room with Stampin' Up!'s fabulous inks?  Don't miss the bonus offer listed below!
