Kreaxions DT Reveal - Let's Go Green!

The challenge to the Just Imagine/Kreaxions Design Team this month was to make a project using green in honor of St. Patrick's Day.  I chose to create a card with green using a sketch by Lucy Chesna from My Sketch World.  To see the other Design Team projects, go to the Just Imagine/Kreaxions Blog where there's a new creation posted every day!

Materials – Sketch – Lucy Chesna; Cardstock, Eyelet – Recollections; Patterned Paper – Echo Park, Basic Grey; Stamps, Ink, Ribbon – CTMH; Background Stamp – Stampin Up; Envelope – 7 Gypsies; Bling -      Queen & Company; Tag Cut with Cricut using George font

The Kreaxions Punch #311 creates a FABULOUS border that's easy for threading things through like fiber, ribbons, twine, string, even thin strips of paper!  So that's how I created the border at the bottom.  

Then I took Kreaxions Punch 603 and punched 6 flowers.  I colored 3 by pressing them into the ink pad and the other 3 I just colored the outer edges by rubbing them in the ink.  Once they were inked, I simply folded the petals in half gently to give them some dimension.  Then I placed one flower on top of another with a Glue Dot and placed a blingy center on them.  

I cut the tag on my Cricut using the George font and I stamped the other flower and sentiment.  The is a big stamp from Stampin Up.  

This card was easy and simple to create and I hope it inspires you to create something too! Go to the Just Imagine/Kreaxions Store and have fun shopping! Happy Punching!

My Hero

Tomorrow is my Grandson Noah’s 9^th birthday.  There was a time we thought this day would never happen because Noah was born QUITE prematurely and nearly died twice before he was 3 months old.  But between modern technology and LOTS of prayers, God completely healed him!  So today I want to honor and celebrate this very special birthday! 

Materials - Sketch - Tracy Rhodes for My Scraps & More; Cardstock - SEI, Bazzill, Unknown; Patterned paper - Echo Park; Brads, Big Boy Sticker, Title Sticker - My Mind's Eye; Letter Stickers - Cosmo Cricket; Pen - Sakura Gel Roll; Punch - Kreaxions #920; Circle Cutter - Kreaxions

I used Kreaxions Punch #920 in many different ways on this page.  And of course I used a LOT of cut-away pieces!  At the top left I used the cut-away pieces to create a kind of arrows.  The remaining border at the top is the cut away piece from the border at the bottom of the pictures with more cut-away pieces added.  There are more cut-away pieces surrounding the “My Hero” sticker.  The circles at the bottom (created using the most amazing Kreaxions Circle Cutter) and the photo corners all have cut-away pieces also. I created the border at the bottom of the pictures by using Template A.  The bottom border piece was created by punching my border without the template and then punching with Template A placing the punch in between the previously punched areas.  (See picture below.)

There are lots of different techniques using the most awesome Kreaxions 4-in-1 Punch #920.  All of these techniques can be used with any of the Kreaxions punches!  I hope this inspires you to play and experiment with your Kreaxions punches the next time you create a project!  Happy Punching!  Ginni Gass, Design Team Member

Star Template Flowers and Frames

Hello! I am super excited to announce that I've been accepted for another term at Just Imagine/Kreaxions!!! They have the most AMAZING circle cutter in the WORLD and their 4-in-1 punches are completely unique! I LOVE playing with them!
Today I posted a tutorial on how to create the "flower" and the photo frames on the page below on the Just Imagine/Kreaxions blog post at http://www.justimaginecrafts.typepad.com/. The picture is of my Granddaughter Molly at The Holy Land Experience in Orlando.

Materials – Sketch - Lucy Chesna; Cardstock – Bazzill; Patterned papers – Basic Grey; Vellum – Chatterbox; Bling – Queen & Company; Star Template, Circle Cutter, Punch #919 – Kreaxions; Ric Rack – Wright’s; “Believe” Journaling Block – Unknown; Pens – Sharpie, Pentel; Letter Stickers – Alphabitties
The journaling reads “While making faith bracelets this little old lady told us what the different colored beads meant. But she was also a speaker of God’s special words and had a special one for each of us. It was a nice surprise.” I created the punched “flower” at the top using the Kreaxions Star Template and Kreaxions Punch # 919 with Template A. The star and circle around the bottom photo were created the same way only without the template in the punch. The piece on the left side is the cut away piece from the star on the right. The star on the far left is just the template without being punched. I cut one from vellum and one from white cardstock and matted them together. The circle was cut with the Kreaxions Circle Cutter. So to create these elements yourself using ANY of the marvelous 4-in-1 Kreaxions punches, go to the blog at and try it yourslf!
Happy Scrapping and Happy Punching!!!
