Celebrate YOU

September 21, 2023

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…

Relax and Enjoy Your Special Day

August 9, 2023

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.

Autumn/Fall

Fall Greetings

September 7, 2022

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…

Birthday Eclipse Scenes

Bold Birthday Eclipse

January 31, 2022

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…

Merry Christmas, Deer!

December 8, 2021

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…

Alcohol Inked Maple Leaf

November 9, 2021

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…

Critters Sympathy

Puppy Angel

October 2, 2021

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…
