Just Imagine Crafts - Kreaxions Punches

Miss Curly Locks

Good morning! Today I have a layout to show you using the Kreaxions Circle Cutter, Kreaxions Punch 905, and the Butterfly Die. I used the May kit and sketch from Swirlydoos. The papers are from the Donna Salazar Botanique collection. Here is my layout:

 

Now for a closeup of the Butterfly Die. I added glitter and bling. 

Next I have a closeup of Kreaxions Punch 905.

Here is a closeup of the hearts that were left after I used Kreaxions Punch 905. I have them placed in threes in various places.

And here you can see the circles that were cut using the Kreaxions Circle Cutter. I cut a 6 inch and a 4 inch circle. Then I cut out circles that was just a wee bit bigger than both of those. And of course I added liquid pearls!

I hope you have found inspiration. Have a blessed day!

BLOG HOP.. mark your calendars to join in the excitement

Happy Saturday!

Hello! Lisa here with you today to share a card I made for my Mom for Mothers Day. One of my favorite Kreaxions tools is the star template, I just love to use doilies on my cards and layouts and this template is so easy and fun to use! I used the Kreaxions 4 in 1 Punch #921 to punch my doily and matching border.

 

Happy Mothers Day to all the Moms out there!
Thanks for stopping by and sharing your day with us!

Terrifically Thrilling Thursday

 Family is Forever.. this is a page with Jules in hospital and

also her visit with Great Gramma.. precious moments to have.

Today I used Kreaxions Punch #309 and matted it with bold purple.

My intend today is to share the fact that matting

with really bold colours behind

is so effective that it still really pops off the page

.. even on pages when it is on very busy patterned paper.

Supply List:

Papers: Momenta PA 0658, PA 2376, PA 2385

Stickers: Momenta ST 5342, ST 2542

Sketch: Becky Fleck PageMaps

Punches: EK, Kreaxions #309

Ink: colorbox

Bling: Prima

Metal Key: Blue Moon Beads

This is one of the pages I did in celebration of NSD.

Hope you have a scrappy day and see you again soon... Bev DT

A {Little} Outside of the Box

'Crazy doesn't just Run in this Family...'

This past weekend my Ma&I took a Mixed Media Class...it was a BLAST! I wanted to share one very simple, yet very striking, technique we learned - Molding {Modelling} Compound! I LOVE layers, they just seem to add so much detail to a page, and the Molding Compound definitely adds a different type of layer!  Using Kreaxions Punch #307 I {randomly} punched a thick piece of cardstock to make a template. I attached my three bottom layers of my layout {after sanding and distressing}, as well as, the pictures of my Crazy Niece and then starting applying the Molding Compound.  I put my Punched template randomly over the layout and applied the compound with a {artist} spatula...then waited for it to dry {a while - be careful with a heat gun, it will make the compound bubble}.  Afterwards I ran my INKED finger over the dried compound to give it some detail, {technique shows up best in the lower left-hand corner...and in the 'a' in 'crazy'...and even better in real life}.  I hope this opens up some new doors for some favourite Scrappy Supplies!

Happy Scrapping!

Mother's Day Card

In honor of Mother's Day I am sharing another card with you this week.  An easy way to use your scraps is to make cards.  An easy way to jazz up those scraps is to use your punches!  So today I’m sharing a card which was based on a sketch by our very own DT Member Lisa Moen!  We are fellow Design Team Members at My Scraps & More and Lisa posted a sketch as a challenge last month.  I needed some Mother’s Day cards and this is what I came up with! 

 

Sketch by Lisa Moen; Card Base – Recollections; Cardstock – American Crafts; Patterned Papers – MME; Bling – K & Company; Ink – Colorbox; Circle Cutter - Kreaxions; Punch - Kreaxions #904; Stamp - CTMH; Stickles – Ranger

The two pieces on the side are punched with Kreaxions 4-in-1 Punch #904 Circle at the top and bottom.  I punched twice so that it would look like a border but left a bit of room in between the top parts of the punch so they wouldn’t fall away. 

Punches are a simple and easy way to make your card look FABULOUS!  And oh what a great effect!  So the next time you need a card, pull out your punches and your scraps and have fun creating!  Happy Punching!  Ginni Gass

Birthday Card

Happy Cinco de Mayo!

I hope everybody enjoyed Cinco de Mayo yesterday. I am from Mexico City, and I wanted to share what Cinco de Mayo is really about.  It is not Mexico’s independence day as some think which is actually September 16, 1810.  As for May 5, 1862, El Día de la Batalla de Puebla (The Day of the Battle of Puebla), is important for several reasons, first it was a victory by the outnumbered and under equipped Mexican Army of 4000 over the better equipped French Army of 8000 that has not been defeated in over 50 years. Second since this battle no country in the Americas has even been invaded by a European Army every again.  Lastly, the reason why this battle was important to the United States is this victory kept Napoleon III from supplying the confederate army for the next year, allowing the Union Army to grow strong which lead to the eventual defeat of the south in the US Civil War 14 months after this battle.  Anyway, enough of the history lessons you are here to learn how to make this Birthday card, so let us get on with it. 

In this post I am going to show you the steps for the parts of the Birthday card where I used the the Kreaxions tools. I hope you will enjoy making it as much as I did. If you want to know more about the parts of the card not discussed in this post feel free to ask in the comments and I will be more than happy help.

How To Make The Lace Border

1. Cut a 5 ¼” by 1 ½” strip from cream card stock
2. Line up the  Kreaxions 307 Punch with the right short edge of the strip
   1. Now only bring strip far enough into the punch so that the small tip of the lace under the flower is just above the bottom of the strip.
   2. Once aligned make the first punch
3. Slide the strip to the right and align the pattern so only half of the pattern is visible, using the flower middle as your guide to help keep is straight
    
4. Punch and repeat step 4 until you have a total of four punches
5. The five punches should fill the strip
6. If the bottom excess is still attached, carefully remove it
    

Optional Step

1. Add a little shadow to the edges using the a color that will accent well with card.

How to make the Butterflies

1. Use the  Kreaxions Punch 604 Butterfly to punch 4 butterflies from brown cardstock
2. Only on 2 of the butterflies use a finger from under each wing to roll a slight curve into each wing
3. Take the other 2 butterflies that are still flat and glue them into their position on the card
4. Now with the 2 butterflies with the curved wings glue them carefully to the flat butterflies on the card at their thorax (center body)

Happy Mother's Day Dressform

Happy Cinco De Mayo everyone!  And Happy National Scrapbooking Day!  Hope you all get to spend the entire day crafting!

Today I've got a Mother's Day card for you that I made with Punch #304.  I cut the circles with my awesome Kreaxtions Circle Cutter and then punched them using the Stencils for Circle Punching.  They make it super-easy to punch a doiily with your 4-in-1 punches, I just love how quick it is.

I love how the skirt on the dressform turned out.  All I did was punch a couple borders with Punch #304 and then scored them every quarter inch and layered them together.  I'm definitely gonna do this with some of my other punches to create dfferent looks.

I'm off to get started on my National Scrapbooking Day projects.  Happy cropping everyone!  --Lisa Bedigian

Precious Angel Card

Its time again to post over here at the blog and I have a fun tutorial for you to create a baby carriage to put on a layout, card or on altered piece like a banner. I used it for my sister-in-law who had my niece in March.

In my project the tools I used are Kreaxions Circle Cutter, Kreaxions 4 in 1 Punch - 904 Circle (with template A) and Kreaxions Star Stencil Octagon.

Here is my card:

Supplies

1- 4 inch circle

2- 1 inch circles

2- 1/2 inch circles

Strip of Pattern Paper

Star Stencil Template

Punch 904 using Template A

Adhesive

Buttons or Brads

 

Step One:Take your large circle and use the hole in the center as your mark to make marks t remove a section of the circle shown here (sorry for the blurry photos)

Step Two:Grab your star stencil and punch 904 using template A. Start on one of the tips and punch all around. There will be scraps around it so just trim them off.

Step Three:Adhere glue to the circle shown here and then add the doily on top. Bring it over till some of it is on the circle and the rest hanging. Trim the excess off to gret ruffles on the carriage.

Step Four:Take your small circles and glue them together then add buttons on top of it. Then add them to the carriage to create wheels on it.

Step Five:Take the strip of paper trim the top a bit to create a handle for the carriage and adhere it to the back. You are done to add the piece to your project.

I love how it turned out and I will making another one for my brother and his wife when my nephew is due in June.

Thanks for looking
