4th of July Cardz Tv 3D Challenge!!! Firecracker Box!!!

Hi everyone, I am sooooooo ecstatic for another Cardz Tv 3D challenge. This has been so much fun and such a privilege to be part of this design team, I just can't say it enough. Thank you again Mary!! Well now on to my project......... I made these super cool and cute firecracker box from the silhouette store ID # 60851. On the first one I made, not going to lie was very frustrating to put together and didn't want to move to the 2nd one. But of course I didn't give up that easy. I just approached it different and skipped using glue on the little pieces and used scotch tape because it would all be hidden and ohhh man did it make it easier to do and so much fun the 2nd time around. So little tip of the day use your scotch tape on the place you can. This cut file also came with the a USA badge and I choose to use it on a card to go with these firecracker boxes that I am going to give to my older daughters well almost 3 and 5yr old lol. These boxes have a pull out bottom that you can stick some treats or drink or something in but I have yet to decided what they will get. I also got this 4th of July Teddy Bear from the Silhouette store ID# 42578. I am in love with how this teddy bear came out and of course I had to add glitter to her for my girls. I used one sentiment "Girls just wanna have fun!" from Cardz Tv Stamp set "GIRL TALK" and two sentiments "You're the BOMB!" and "Born to be WILD!" from Cardz Tv Stamp set "YOU'RE THE MAN". These stamps are so versatile and so much fun to pair with my crafting. So here is some pictures of my projects..........

Cardz Tv Stamp Father's Day 3-D Challenge!!! Fun Fun Fun!!

             Hi everyone and welcome to anyone new stopping by. I am so excited for another Cardz Tv Stamp 3-D Challenge. I am just having so much fun with these projects and these stamps. This project is all about the amazing husband/ father in my life. This week I decided to put together a 3-D Tote Box Silhouette ID # 26931, at first I was not sure what I want to go about decorating this box or what to put in it (I just fell in love with it and had to make something with it). Then it came to me Camping theme because my poor husband doesn't get to go camping this fathers day due to us adding another baby to our family!! Hopefully she will arrive soon ( I know it is a good reason to not go camping but he loves his father's day family camping weekend). So anyways enough with the rambling but I used Echo Park Happy Camper paper collection, along with some colored card stock I had on hand and craft card stock. The little die cuts were a camping set I bought from the Silhouette store ID# 43590. These little die cuts will come in handy with so many of my crafting projects, my head is going crazy just thinking about it now!! I also inked all the edges of the papers with a brown ink pad. The Family Man sentiment came from Cardz Tv Stamp set " YOU'RE THE MAN". Then I decided to buy some Reese's cups and layered them with paper and a cute little sentiment from Cardz Tv Stamp set "YOU'RE THE MAN" as well ,  for him to read as he eats each one, probably in one sitting (I know I would) hehehehe. Man I could go on about my husband and how amazing he is, these stamp sets, and just this project but I will not try to bore you too much lol. So here are some pictures of what I created, I hope it has inspired you to make a father's day project for a man in your life that means the world to you!!!

         But please head on over to the Cardz Tv Blog and play along with us.

Woooohooo, can you tell I am super thrilled for this next chapter in my life. So today I created a 3D project for a Cardz Tv Challenge. This weeks challenge is to create a 3D project having to do anything with Graduation. I had so much fun creating this Graduation Pencil Holder from the Silhouette store ID# 58490, I also wrapped up the pencils with some fun Hobby Lobby washi tape. I also found this adorable print and cut little Graduation Girl from the Silhouette store ID#59121. I used Cardz Tv stamp set "GIRL TALK"!! These stamps are so much fun to play with!! I have so many ideas to use these on a variety of projects. As you can see this is not the most traditional color scheme for a graduation project but my daughter is actually graduating from preschool and they get to wear pink caps and gowns, how cute huh ? So I thought this project worked perfect for my little lady!!

Baby Girl Mini Album

Hi everyone!! I have had so much fun with this project. It took me a little longer than I expected because this pregnancy has given me a run for my money LOL!! But fewwwww it is done, well for now. So I found this pocket mini album in my stash and thought it would be the perfect thing for my new baby girl who is expected to be her in June. I also thought it would be perfect for the Scrappy Moms Stamp snap challenge. I am cutting it real close considering today is the last day, but hey I made my goal and that is what counts :) So I have no pictures or very many embellishments in this yet because like I said it is for baby in my big tummy hehehe. But even the way it is I have fallen in love. This kit I had included the envelope pockets and the round cardboard closures and tag inserts and also the papers on the cover and the back cover. I think I will also do a video on it to explain more of what I used of my own and how I put it all together. Also just might have to share some more crafting I have done in the last few weeks. For those of you who follow my blog or are just new to Krystal Klear Creations and have not seen that I started a YouTube Channel, I did my FIRST video a few weeks ago!! So please head on over to my YouTube to see what else I do. Here is the link to that  https://www.youtube.com/user/KrystalKlearCreation/videos !!! Hope you enjoy it and please remember to subscribe to see my videos in the very near future. Remember I did promise you a video about this mini album :) Here are the pictures of my project. I hope I have inspired you to craft because it is the best therapy I have ever came across!!

GLOWING!!!! Paper Bakery's Sketch Challenge #6 created by Juliana Michaels

     Hello and welcome to Krystal Klear Creations....  Today I have created a layout that is inspired by Paper Bakery's Sketch Challenge #6 created by Juliana Michaels.  When I seen this challenge sketch pop up in my email from 17turtles,  I just could not resist....  I knew exactly what I was going to do and what picture was perfect for it.  This challenge just spoke to me and I knew it had to be my 2nd challenge to enter.  So here it is.....

     Of course I added my own little touch of some fo stitching to my solid colored strips as well as around the entire background.  I also didn't stick with the three stars because I just felt a butterfly was in order for this layout ( my daughters shirt was covered in them ) ,  couldn't help myself.  I had so much fun with this layout and am so glad I finally scrapbooked this picture,  so Thank You Juliana for this sketch and inspiration.  I am really loving these challenges, they push me to craft more and give me courage to get out there in the blogging world.  Who knows maybe youtube videos will be in order soon???  Cute little story about this photo....  This is when I started to get into photography ( with my older camera ) over a year ago.  My daughter was my main client,  right here she is getting to think how she wants to pose for me, hmmmmmm....  One thing I have learned with working with kids, is to let them be creative while taking the photos.  This will make them more willing to do what you want as well because seriously what could be more fun than telling an adult how you want to take the picture.  Then they will have more fun with what you suggest as well because you listened to them too..  Well back to my daughter hehehe.  

     She is just GLOWING in this photo and I know it is not perfect in the Photography world but it is PERFECT to me!!  She now does not even have to think when I pull out my camera.  She has so many poses up her sleeve because she always loves to help Mom :)  Well thank you all for stopping by and I hope you enjoyed.  Please feel free to tell me what you think??

We Love You MOW Than Anything

          Hello Everyone, welcome to Krystal Klear Creations!!!!  My name is Krystal  ( who would have thought ) and I am new to world of blogging as well as many other things In this blog post.  Here is a little about myself, I am a wife to an amazing Husband and a stay at home Mom of 2 sweet little girls.  I have been crafting for as long as I can remember with my Mom, as a little girl.  I have been interested in Scrapbooking and Cards for about 6yrs now and just recently started getting more into researching products and learning as many new techniques as possible about the two.  I have owned a cricut for the last 3yrs now ( Thanks to my amazing Husband), and it has opened a whole new world for me in my craft life!!   In the last few months I have learned more about the cricut layers and needless to say I am in LOVE!!  I have made 5 layered cards so far like the one below. 

         This one is actually the first one I will be entering into a Challenge.  The challenge is from Scrappymoms-stamps.blogspot.com !! The challenge is to create a card, scrapbook, 3-D project, or whatever you would like for the father in your life.  So I have choose to create the most special father in my life ( My Husband)  this lawn mower card.  He is seriously the best father my daughters could ever ask for, but I won't bore you with all that. I made this lawn mower card for him because he SERIOUSLY loves to mow the lawn, I have offered and yes I know how to do it the right way.  But he just really like to do it.  No reason for me to complain about it though because hey more time for me to be in my crafting area!!  

        So I do not have a Cart that has a lawn mower on it (which I would not even know if there is one?).  So I free handed this lawn mower with referencing off a clipart picture online.  The only thing I did cut out from the Cricut was the wheels.  I also free handed the sun and the grass and clouds were cut out from the Cricut.  I inked up the edges of the clouds and as well used some stamp pad ink to distress the sun.  I used some pop dots to raise the sun and the lawn mower.  And if you couldn't tell I went fo stitch happy, it is a new technique I have learned just recently!!  I just think it added a little more pop to it.  Oh and the best part of it all, my handwritten sentiment I came up with (sorry I have never seen this anywhere else, so I apologize if this is not something new and original ), We love you MOW than anything.  Well I hope you all enjoyed the card and my rambling!  Please feel free to tell me what you think?  Well thank you Scrappymoms-stamps.blogspot.com for inspiring me to try my first challenge.  I can't wait to get to order my first stamp set from you, I hope it is soon.  I am lacking in sentiment stamps, I think I may have 10 (I need to add to it bad).  Well I look forward to trying more challenges with you all in the future.  Thank you so much for getting me out there in the blogging world.  Well I hope you all have or are having a great weekend.  Can't wait to share with you all more.

 We love you MOW than anything!!

 Fo-Stitch Happy

Happy Fathers Day
