Just Imagine Crafts - Kreaxions Punches

Happy Day

Hello!  Ginni here again!  I hope you're having a great beginning to your summer!  This picture was actually taken in the fall, but it reminds me of the springtime when the sun comes out and it's just barely warm enough to go out and enjoy the weather.  This was one of those days for my Mom, my Dad and my brother Bill.  Dad had been in isolation for a month before having gall bladder surgery and was finally able to get out and about.  Mom had been in the hospital for a couple of weeks and was finally doing well enough to go see Dad.  Bill had had neck surgery a few weeks before and was happy to be out and about himself.  Seeing the 3 of them happy and enjoying the sunshine made me grab my camera and take this picture.  It's one of my all time fav pictures!  I used a sketch by Lucy Chesna for this page...

I used the Kreaxions Circle Cutter to make all the circles on this page.  I cut two 10” circles (one from blue patterned paper and one from yellow cardstock) then tore the top and bottom off the yellow cardstock.  I cut 3 blue circles for the scallop on the left of the pictureas a big scallop, and two more circles to hold my stickers on the bottom right of the page.   I also used Kreaxions Punch #602 for the leaves, Kreaxions Punch #603 (currently out of stock in the store) for the flowers and Kreaxions Punch #612 for the Crosses.  I used heart brads for the flower centers…  I added a few stickers and the punched crosses to finish embellishing the page.  I outlined everything with inks and pens.

Hanging Butterfly

I wanted to do something different and had done a technique similar to this in a class MANY years ago so I thought I’d play around. I’m truly branching out of my box on this one! First I took a pre-made chipboard butterfly and painted it with Ranger paint dauber on both sides.

Then I cut out a piece of patterned paper and a piece of clear transparency to the shape of the chipboard. I covered the painted chipboard with Mod Podge and then added the patterned paper on top of that. While that dried, I took Kreaxions Punch #901 and punched it 3 times in a pattern on a piece of scrap paper. Then I used a foam dauber, the “template” created by the punching and some Azure Staz-On ink and made a pattern on the BACK side of the transparency.

I cut 3 flowers from Kreaxions Punch #603 (out of stock in the Just Imagine Store right now) and 3 stems from Kreaxions Punch #602, as well as 2 butterflies from Kreaxions Punch #604. I outlined my punched pieces with matching pens and using my Xyron X to add adhesive, I attached some to the chipboard piece and others to the transparency piece. I mixed stems under and over to give it more texture and interest. The sentiment sticker is under the transparency. Once I had them arranged where I wanted them, I used Crystal Lacquer to adhere the transparency to the chipboard. I made sure I spread out the Crystal Lacquer so that it wouldn’t show. After it dried, I cut away any excess pieces from the edges. Then I started embellishing it with Stickles, bling and sparkly brads that I cut the backs off of. I used Crystal Lacquer to attach them and to enhance some of my elements. After the top was dry, I punched holes in the top corners of the wings and added an eyelet on each side to make it prettier. Then I tied a piece of big ribbon so that it could be hung on a door handle or a wall or whatever! I did paint the back with the Ranger dauber but I chose not to decorate it. Finally, I added some Stickles around the outer edges to give it more interest and definition. Here's the final product once more...

Lots of cards.. lots of punches and circles too

 

 

Hi.... Bev here today with lots of fun cards using the Floral Collection from Robin's Nest....

and the amazing punches and circle cutter from Kreaxions.

The card above starts with a fun background striped paper.

I used the sunburst cut file on another floral paper. I used pen to accent the one edge of sunburst.

Centered on the sunburst is a matted the rubon sentiment that I cut and matted

using the circle cutter... I then added twine around it.

I Kreaxion punched #603 flowers, added stickles and also added dew drops.

 

  

This card has a patterned print background with tattered edges and ink added.

Using Kreaxions star template and using punch #309 I created the doily out of another

floral print.  Using black cardstock as accent colour I punched a mathing border which 

I matted to pop the flowers. Lots of inked edges to give a 

softer look and some fun stitching is added also.

Using another Kreaxions flower punch #603 and Kreaxions leaf punch #602.

This was add to top off the doily and a dew drop added at centre.

Using the rubon sentiment I matted it twice to give it pop.

On the left side some layers of twine are tied and finished with a bow.

 

  

Up next is a card using the same papers. They really compliment each other.

At the top I punched a Kreaxions punch #920 border.

The throw away piece is the banner through the centre of card separating 

the 2 different patterned papers. Lots of inked edges again too.

The sentiment is a Robin's Nest rubon with a matted border.

It's hard to see but I added dew drops to the centres of the lower flowered print.

 

 Changing up the colour now to shades of purple and adding a touch of pink was a perfect touch.

Fun striped background with smaller piece of floral print.

On this I added a Kreaxions punch # 301 border and added 

dew drops to the centres of the punched accent.

Twine is wrapped around the whole matted section and a bow tied.

The sentiment on this one is ink stamped and matted.

Below it are some gem stones.

 

As you can see it's so easy to make any kind of card... and adding punched accents

gives a cool, fun added touch to so many projects.

They make up so quickly and nicely with awesome colour combo options.

Use matting, add dew drops, some more flowers,

some punched borders and accents and a touch of twine.. 

they look fabulous.

Welcome to September

So in celebration to  September... we welcome the DT for the new term:

Returning is Bev Code, Ginni Gass, Lisa Moen, Charity Hotrum, Monica Edwards and joining us after some GDT spots is Wendi Robinson and Joan Borgelt and new DT are Karen Zabuska and Lee-Anne Thornton.

With the start of school I thought i'd share a teacher card.

Using the Kreaxions Circle Cutter I made the circular ring with I added the floral punched accents using Kreaxions Punch #603. I used brads in the centre. Inside the ring is the verse for best teacher.

Below that I used the the circle cutter to start with a circle and then punched around it using Kreaxions Punch # 309... and added another flower with brad.

Hope your looking forward to viewing daily inspirations by our DT for the next term. We are all excited to get started.

True Love Card

Hi Bev here today with this fun True Love card.

When you have even a single floral punch there is so much you can still do with it. I used Kreaxions Punch #603 multiple times to go around the circular Kreaxions cut centre  and then did more punches in the corners too. I added a thin circular ring accent, matted the centre circle and added SRM Stickers and sentiments. Matting in print around the centre circle and a different dot paper on the outer corners was perfect.

 

Here is a close up of the back of the paper with the centre circle to start... lines to section off and space placement of the punching .. and the corner markes also. This is really easy and there are stencils to help with this.

 

Thanks for stopping by today.. we would love for you to like us on Facebook and when we hit 275 we will have a single winner.

Terrifically Thrilling Thursday

hi everyone. Today is something so simple but amazing. When you cut punched circles or borders you are left with an amazing throw away piece.... yes left over garbage piece.. at least we used to throw it away. I started this page from the start with the burgundy circular piece that fell away from my last piece posted last week. It was the perfect central core to start this page. I stitched it to make it pop.

From there I took the photo more background pieces, made flowers (even used the Kreaxions Punch #603 as the top layer of the flower), arranged clusters with flowers, sparkle, pearls and even used rub on accent. I added some cute stapled ribbon, some tags and glossy accented the title.

So remember be sure when you punch that you save the throw away pieces.. they make fabulous accents to any project.....  chow for now .. Bev DT

Terrifically Thrilling Thursday

Hi everyone. I just returned from my fabulous MSW Houston Crop and a short stay at Niagara Falls Casino. It was a fabuluos fun mini vacation. Travel was a nightmare but everything else was perfect.

Today I am sharing a layout that I wanted to be fun, bright and playful. The punched edges were perfect and the 2 different punched both had hearts on them. Top edge is Kreaxions Punch #905 and the bottom is #917. With a boy and girl in the photo I thought it would be fun to add flowers using punch #603 and butterflies #604. All 4 punched worked together to accent my page. Some of the flowers and butterflies were doubled and popped with added stickles for sparkle.

I stenciled leaves to the floral cluster... added some stencil accent to the photo border... stitched on the corners and added stickers and sentiments instead of a big single title.

Supply list: Cardstock: Momenta PA 2375 Paper: Momenta PA 1070 Stickers: Momenta #17417 Stencils: Momenta FS 1034, SS 1007 Just Imagine/Kreaxions Punches: # 603, #604, #905, #917 Stickles: Ranger Ink: Memento Pen: Staedtler Other: Stitiching, brads
