Hello friends and happy September! We enjoy the fall season here in Western New York but as summer-lovers, it’s always bittersweet as we say goodbye to the long sunshine-filled days. The card we are sharing today was created for a special niece and is filled with florals to hold on to that summer feeling for just a little longer. We hope you like it! Focal Point All the…
Hello crafty friends! Sometimes a new product release just tickles your fancy and for us, Honey Bee Stamps’ recent release called Adventure Awaits was one of those. Nearly every product in that release ended up in our cart, LOL. Today’s card project was created using several items from that release and we had so much fun putting this beautiful outdoor scene together. We hope it inspires you. Focal…
Hello Friends! As you know, Kreative Kinship is a sister team and the projects we share here on this account are always the result of a collaboration of effort, input and creativity. The exception to this is when we share the cards we individually make for each other and today’s card project is one of those exceptions. When your sister, best friend and crafting partner celebrates a birthday,…

Focal Point: Three colors of dye ink…
Hello crafty friends! We are back with a new card project that embraces the upcoming fall season. Here in Western NY, it has felt more like autumn than summer this past week so today’s card seems fitting. Focal Point: A stamping platform was used so that some of the images could be stamped multiple times. Starting with the pitcher, the first layer was stamped with a light teal…
Have you ever heard of or tried the die-cutting eclipse technique? We think this is such a fun technique that creates dramatic results. The new Be Bold Color Block dies by Spellbinders are a collection of large word dies that are great for eclipsing. Background Panel: We chose to use the Birthday word die for our project which measures 3.5” x 8.5”, so we cut a piece of…
Hello friends and Happy New Year! We hope you were able to enjoy time with family and friends this past holiday season. It was definitely a very busy time for us. In addition, our family has several birthdays to celebrate the first week of January. One of those is half of this Kreative Kinship team (Happy Birthday Michele!). So, when it’s your sister’s birthday and she happens to…
One of our favorite paper crafting techniques is die cutting. We simply find the process of cutting and gluing small pieces of paper together to create something beautiful so relaxing and enjoyable. Our card project today was created mostly with die cuts – there was very little stamping involved. We are pleased with how it turned out and hope you think so too! Focal Point: The deer was…
Welcome! Have you experimented with alcohol inks to make fun colorful backgrounds? If so, how often do you actually put them to use in your cardmaking? Admittedly, we haven’t mastered that step yet, but we are trying! Today’s card is the result of using one of those backgrounds and we think it worked perfectly. Focal Point: Using the solid maple leaf die, cut one leaf from a Yupo…
There is no doubt that sympathy cards are the hardest types of cards to make. Unless, of course, you need to make a pet sympathy card. Those are absolutely THE WORST! A dear friend recently lost their 15-year old furry family member. We envisioned a puppy angel for this card so we started hunting through our stash and found the perfect puppy image and a set of wings…
