Kreaxions Blog Hop

Welcome to Just Imagine Crafts / Kreaxions Punches BLOG HOP

Date: Saturday June 11th 12:01am EST - Sunday June 12th 10pm EST ***all day Saturday and Sunday. Winner to be chosen by Monday PM. That gives you all weekend to join us, blog hop and play along with the amazing DT who are ready to inspire you especially now that we are well into June... the kids are almost done with school, flowers popping, planning those special summer holidays... and our Theme: Summertime (anything goes) will be so much FUN.

Just Imagine Crafts/Kreaxions Punches Site is offering 2 Kreaxions Punches of your choice as the Grand Prize. Each DT will also offer a ballot for a random draw for a Kreaxions Punch for a prize. And be sure to check as some DT members are hosting their own prize too. Lots of ways to win.

****Be sure to have a scrap of paper while you hop to write down the number of your favorite Punch. When you finish the hop and return to Just Imagine Crafts you get an additional ballot when you list it in the comments section. We would love to hear what you think!****

My project for the hop is a card using both the Kreaxions Butterfly and Lattice Dies. I had so much fun with this summertime theme.



The lattice die is quite intricate and cuts out all the little interior pieces; however, I didn't have the pressure right so it left pieces in the center. So I created this card as a "happy accident".* I die cut the lattice from white cardstock and the butterfly from pink cardstock. I embossed the butterfly with a Cuttlebug Script embossing folder which I first inked with Color Box Iced Blue ink. Then I inked the edges of the lattice die in the same color. I used scraps of paper in my stash to create the card - it was based on the June sketch.

*check this post for another look at how I used this lattice die cut with the correct pressure.

This card again uses the butterfly die which I embossed with the Cuttlebug D'Vine Swirls embossing folder and gently curled around my fingers. Lots of rub-ons added to the summertime theme.
