Happy Holidays to All

 

It's hard to believe that the holidays are already upon us.  It feels like each year they sneak up on us faster and faster.  This year, I have been particularly busy. 

 

At last count, I have made more than 500 Christmas cards this year.  That is crazy!  I could barely believe it myself.  Thanks to my great customers, they have kept me inspired.

 

 

Each time I sit down to make more cards, I feel like I am getting more creatively inspired.  The inspiration for many of my cards come from a variety of places.  I take comments and suggestions from customers, friends and family.  In my free time, I surf Pinterest (I LOVE PINTEREST!).  And, sometimes, I just see a design in my head and start putting it together.

 

If you would like to see more of my designs, please stop by my Ebay store - Kimberz Kreations - I am adding new designs nearly daily at this point.

 

Thanks for dropping by again.  Feel free to leave your comments or suggestions.

 

EVERYONE HAVE A SAFE AND HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!

Lodge Style Christmas Cards

This first card is a rather simple design.
I used an old stamp I have had for years by Stampendous to emboss the sentiment in gold.  The brown paper was dry embossed with my Cuttlebug and sanded for the effect.

 

 

This next card is another color combination that I decided to try using my Stampin' Up Lovely As a Tree set.  I am still practicing with it, as I only just recently acquired the set.  I am excited to see what else that I can create with it in the future.

 

 

Comments and suggestions are always welcome.

Christmas Cards Galore!

As you can tell, I am a busy little beaver at this time of the year.  I have been making Christmas cards for months now.  Sadly, I still have not used all the Christmas stamps that I have....ssshh, don't tell my husband :).

 

 

 

So, today I am simply sharing a few more of my designs.  No time for chatting!  It's back to work for me.

Please feel free to leave comments and suggestions.  I love to hear from others about their thoughts on my designs.

Sweet Snowman Cards

 

Recently, I found this super fun stamp by Penny Black.  It is called Sweet Snowman.

 

While thumbing through pins on Pinterest, I found the cutest card I had ever seen.  I searched out the name and started searching the web.  I found the stamp, and many others, on Amazon.

 

I have had so much fun creating these cards.  They take a bit more time due to coloring.

 

If you would like to see more, please visit me at Ebay - Kimberz Kreations .

 

I have created many color combinations and have many other styles available.

 

Thanks again for dropping by.

Lovely as a Tree Cards

One of the most versatile stamp sets available today, in my opinion, is Stampin' Up's Lovely As A Tree.  This set can be used for Christmas, Birthdays, or Everyday cards.

 

If you are looking at a beginner set that is versatile and easy to use, this one is my suggestion.

 

 

If you would like to learn how to create this background and others that are similar, all you need to do is go to Pinterest.  There are many different tutorials.  Just find one that suits you and your skill level.

Remember, there is not wrong way to create.  If you are putting ink (or other medium) to paper, you are being creative.  I have found that art is relative.  I have created things that I didn't think looked good at all, but someone will come along and absolutely love it.

 

If you are not the creative type, or just don't have the time. please feel free to visit me on Ebay to purchase your set of Christmas cards - Kimberz Kreations

Non-Traditional Snowflake Christmas Cards - Large Sizes

 

Here is another selection of snowflake cards.  These cards are designed on some more of the half-fold size (5-1/2" x 8-1/2") cards.

 

I used non-traditional purple and teal colors alongside the beautiful blue tone.  It is kind of like traditional meets non-traditional.

 

 

These are some of my favorite snowflake cards.

 

Who am I kidding?  I obviously love Christmas Cards!  I have been making them non-stop for months now.

 

 

I do want to remind everyone to visit my Ebay Store: Kimberz Kreations .

There are a lot of designs and ten piece sets available right away with a Buy It Now option.  Orders will only be taken for another month.  After December 5th, no more special orders will be taken.

 

Please feel free to contact me or leave your suggestions/comments here.
I always love to hear from you.

New Large Half-Fold Sized Christmas Cards

 

With the newest Christmas card sets that are available on my Ebay store: Kimberz Kreations , I decided to not only do some non-traditional colored cards, but some larger sized cards.

These cards are a full half-fold sized card, measuring 5-1/2" x 8-1/2".

 

These larger cards are a bit challenging.

 

You always imagine when creating cards, if I only had a little more room for this embellishment or that....  I have found that more space can also have a down side.  They are a bit more difficult to fill with color and dimension.  Although, I always get comments on how much others love them, to me they sometimes appear to be a bit plain.

 

This is where the designer is a bit more critical of themselves than others are.  I find that I am usually more critical of myself than anyone else is.  I think this is why I so enjoy getting comments and suggestions.  Having the honest opinion of a customer or potential customer always has more weight with me than my own opinion.  I know, strange.

 

So, please feel free to leave comments and suggestions.  They are always welcome.

Snowflake Christmas Cards

One of my most favorite card designs is the snowflake card.  The appearance cannot be beat.  You get glitter and dimension, as well as versatility.  You are able to make the cards (or other crafts) as simple or complicated as you want.

 

I am finding that I really like the sleek, clean look of simple white on white.  Use a little bit of glitter flakes and it really seems to speak to you.

 

Another great look with snowflakes is using non-traditional colors.  I think it looks great to use the unexpected colors in order to get a particular look.  In fact, I find myself rarely using the simple blue and white of old.

 

Don't be scared to use non-traditional colors.  I fought it for years.  I just was not going to give in to the "trend".  Well, the "trend" stuck around, and as a designer, so did I.  Suprisingly, it was a great choice!

 

Remember....there is no wrong way to craft and create.  That is how the world's greatest artist became known, by stepping outside of the box.  So even though it might be a bit uncomfortable at first, it is worth the risk.  You may just find out that your out-of-the-box creation is well worth while.  It will definitely open a lot of new crafting doors for you.

 

Thanks for stopping by for a visit.  Please feel free to leave your comments and suggestions.  I always look forward to hearing from everyone.

Handmade Christmas Card Designs

 

Here is your peek at my newest attempt to do the snowy hill sponging technique.  As with most technique, I will keep practicing.  I find that even though practice may not make perfect, it sure does help.  I look forward to trying out even more cards and designs using this technique.  It really is fun.

 

I have also been very busy with my embossing powders.  I really like using the embossing powders and folders to add extra dimension to cards.  It can be a little expensive and time consuming, but the results make it all worth while.

 

The holidays are coming sooner than we all expect.  If you want to create your own cards and crafts, I have a selection of embellishments and crafting supplies in my Ebay store: Kimberz Kreations .  As well, I always have selections of cards for you to choose from.

 

I would love for you to drop by and see what is available today.  As always, I look forward to receiving your suggestions and comments.

 

The True Meaning for the Christmas Season

 

I have finally reached some of my favorite Stampin' Up stamp sets.  The first one is On Angels Wings (pictured above).  The second is Christmas Blessings (pictured below).

 

I love these sets not just because they have a religious undertone to the messages, but also for their versatility.  Each stamp set can be used in so many ways with a variety of color combinations.  In my line of business, this makes for a great stamp set to work with.

 

I have provided a sneak peek of these cards on my facebook page ( Kimberz Facebook ) has already provided me with a wealth of information.  Customers are delighted to see these cards and have expressed wanting to see more.  The orders have already begun to come in.

 

This is good news for everyone!  I will be making additional cards in these themes.

 

If you would like to see what other designs are available, please visit my Ebay store at: Kimberz Kreations .  I have variety of colors and themes available.  In fact, you will find your best selection now. 

 

If you have any suggestions or comments, I always welcome those.  Being a creative business owner always provides for a learning curve.  I love to hear what my customers, or potential customers, think.

 

I am also taking orders for the next month.  Some of the cards I make are truly unique and I do not have the embellishments/papers, etc. to recreate them, but I will always do my best to fulfill your needs.

New Cards Available Now for 2014

I made it back!

 

As you have noticed, it has been a couple of weeks since you have seen any updates from me.  The good news is, I have been working extra hard in order to get some new Christmas Card designs ready for the 2014 holiday season.

 

What you are seeing is only one of many new ten card packages available now at my Ebay store: Kimberz Kreations .   There are many new designs.  Cards are being sold in packages of ten different cards.

 

As you have seen before, I rarely make multiple cards of the same design.  I do this in order to provide my customers with a wide variety of cards to choose from.  I certainly do like to send out the exact same card to each person on my list, so I don't imagine my customers do either.

 

If you would like to see what else is new, please go to Ebay and check out all the new cards and card making items that I have for sell.
