Kristina I’m so glad you’re doing this capsule crafting again. It was so fun back in Feb, I’m excited to see this again. Wonderful products you’ve chosen, & I can’t wait for the new release too. And I really like how the card turned out, I love the bold design you ended up with. It’s very abstract in look & I really like it.

[@kennyfry3421]

LOVE that abstract background, Kristina! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 Great to see your smile... 🙂

[@dorasanchez5075]

Wow Kristina you always come out with such a great card no matter how simple the stamp is. Thank you and take care.

[@mrsdarcy290]

Thank you for another capsule series. Your February videos were most helpful during the early stages of the shelter in place. It was so hard to get supplies but after watching your videos it helped me immensely to “think outside of the box” with my crafting materials. I’m looking forward to these new inspirations. By the way Kristina you look so lovely. Have a wonderful August.

[@jilldavies8546]

So pleased you are doing the capsule challenge again.

[@barblibrarian]

I like this challenge because right now I am doing a Konmari of my craft room. This helps remind me that I don’t “need” everything to be able to craft well. And the card was great. Thanks, Kristena!

[@wendymerchant6998]

This venue is soooo much fun and educational. I learn so much from you and truly appreciate all of your talents, THANKS!

[@debbieskluzak913]

Love when you do these. It just shows you always don’t need it all.

[@summer5851]

Its good to see YOU Kristina. I love your card. So simple, and the abstract look is very cool. I really need to try the capsule challenge. I have so many new stamps waiting to be used. I thought, no more stamps till I use what I have. Did I heed that thought...no. I bought a couple more stamps a few days ago. Actually two were your designs. 😉 Anywhooo I really want to try the capsule challenge. Again love the card. It really turned out great. Take care, Kristina stay healthy, and safe in our crazy new world. Hugs from MN.

[@743linda]

Love this card! I loved watching you in February with this challenge! So much fun!!! Thank you!

[@leannepayne1000]

so pleased that you are doing this again, I made cards along with you in February and loved it!

[@Ombrerainbowfamily]

Oh fun. I watched what you did with the last capsule and I loved the idea. I think the main reason I don’t make more crafts is making the decision of what to use.

[@barbappleby7526]

Nice to see you again! I love your capsule challenges, so creative! Thanks!

[@marylehett1127]

Kristina, I love your colorful abstract card. So creative. Genius. Plus, your ‘capsule’ supplies theme is so much fun. Thank you.

[@karenkreider5998]

Great card! I really enjoyed the first time you did the capsule cards back in February...glad you're doing it again!

[@lorispitzer8289]

Hi, Kristina - You're a whiz. I just got my craft room cleaned out (I purged some stuff by giving it to elem kids whose parents are tearing their hair out at the thought of having them home again for school, but they understand the ramifications of putting too many people in a school bldg before community spread is under control).... Anyway, the kids were thrilled to get a big packet of crayons, construction paper, stickers and more from me. I organized all my ink pads, clear stamp sets, some of the paper (we won't talk about my little paper addiction)... I'm so happy I just got it all organized and then I see you down to one good clear container. It's good to have goals (sigh). I like the card you made and am eager to see what SSS releases at midnight. Have a GREAT day and thanks for the video.

[@JoannaShoemaker]

Love the abstract stamping...what a cool technique!

[@PumpkinBecki]

Sooo simple but SO effective! Love it, thank you Kristina xx

[@scrappinkaty]

love the idea of your supply box AND this card is so FUN and FUNKY!!!

[@DebadooCreates]

Love your card so so so much! I just really love color blocking. I've done the same sort of thing just putting the ink on an acrylic block about that size and then stamping it, but I really love the distressed look up the stamp and the way the ink grabs the stamp better then an acrylic block for more streaking.

[@MandysGeekBowtique]

Wow that card is great and so simple... can't wait to see the new products too!

[@corinnecowper1339]

I tried the idea of capsule for card making and it was a great way to focus on design and trying new techniques. Will be doing it again.

[@magicinhands]

Lovely card very interesting abstract 👍👍👍thanks for sharing!

[@arlenedonald8688]

Nice card! I'm glad you are doing the Capsule challenge again!

[@rabbitandrew]

Love the Concord & 9th stamp you used for the card and the way you used it. Thanks for the inspiration. I kept my last capsule for a couple of months I still have the box on my desk but it’s filling up with scraps now. Will have to clean it out and start again. Thanks Kristina!

[@npknscrb]

Really appreciate your capsule series. Looking forward to see what all you create with this one.

[@tammychernow4129]

Yay! I love the Capsule Papercrafting Challenge. So looking forward to watching. Love the card. Simple and clean with a cool modern vibe. Hopefully soon you guys will do another card camp. Fingers crossed :)

[@jillbarger2593]

I was skeptical at first when you previewed the block stamp used in the video, but I just LOVE how you used it. Thanks so much for the great ideas!

[@kwernerdesign]

Thanks! It was definitely an unusual choice. Lol! :)

[@diannamangrum68]

Thank you Kristina 🖌❣ I have not really spent much time crafting since this crazy virus started and i have a huge well stocked craft room. Seems like extra time at home would have been prayers answered...so be careful what you ask for, right? I have been uninspired and overwhelmed. Your capsule idea has sparked my mojo...i think i can handle that!🤣 💞

[@TheLotte64]

I love when you are doing your capsule box 🌞🌞😁. And I especially looking forward to se you used the leaves and flowers from Altenew, because I have this 😁😁. But I am always looking forward to see your video s. Beautiful and different card you made. Beautiful 🌞🌞

[@JulieEbersole]

Love the capsule, love the card! Gave me the vapors, gal! 😘

[@carolestrawn8755]

I loved this series when you did it back in February. Looking forward to seeing what you make this time. I am getting ready to redo my craft room with all new Ikea furniture. Will have to pack up everything before painting the room and assembling all the furniture. I plan to keep out a "capsule" box of things I can use while I don't have access to all my supplies. Your list gave me good ideas.

[@kwernerdesign]

A capsule box is perfect for your situation! Good luck on the craft room renovations!

[@selinamcginn8749]

Glad you’re doing this series again. I’ve also been thinking about getting these cubes.

[@patticallihan8515]

I cannot wait till you make more cards . I have so much I have bought over the past months . to use also. What a great card and wonderful idea. 💖💖

[@eleonoraleopardi2465]

So many awesome Concord and 9th items, very versatile stamps! An online shopping spree is in order!

[@trudievick2359]

Love it. Can't wait to see what's next. Thanks for sharing.

[@kltpiano1]

It’s always amazing to me how you take something like that solid block stamp and turn it into a work of art! Just love it❤️

[@heatherleach1978]

Omg I love that! Simple but very perfect in that!

[@anne-mettelarsen7659]

I TOTALLY LOVE that you're doing this series again!!!! It was VERY creative the last time. And the things you chose looks GREAT 🥰

[@TheLpage]

What a challenge for yourself. I'm trying to do more abstract and modern clean , so this card really inspired me. Thanks so much.

[@krenkurts5054]

Years ago, the inspiration box was a great idea for a theme or holiday and it worked well for me. I am about to assemble one for Fall and one for Christmas. Your "capsule crafting" idea seems like a variation of this idea but adds color media which I think is a great idea. It's a great way to use stamp sets and materials that are new or that I have never used. I don't own a solid block stamp but I think I could make one with fun foam or use a reverse stamp and try your idea. Maybe a mirror stamp would be a good one to include in the capsule crafting box. Hmmmm. Have to ponder.

[@anitatrippi7072]

Love it! I I enjoy your capsule idea. Really jump starts creativity❤️

[@suzannerussell4892]

I LOVE your abstract block of color! I found a similar block type stamp from a very old set called "On the Farm" by Papertrey Ink. Can't wait to give your technique a try using what I already have!

[@sharonsmakes]

I love your abstract card. It is a work of art. I can’t wait to see your other creations this month and the new stencil

[@inkylovenotes1064]

So pretty! It reminds me of gelli plates, except that stamp already has the texture and you created even more with your beautiful color choices. So lovely! 😊 And I don’t mind waiting to see what stencil you’ll be using from the new Simon says stamp release. I like the mystery!!! Thanks for sharing!

[@stefaniestaniak4329]

Very cool card. Great technique that I’m sure I could do with stuff in my stash. Thank you.

[@cordeliaalderman391]

I really, really like to see what you do with your capsule items.

[@MelissaKuzma]

I love this capsule! Can’t wait to see all the cards you make. Very curious about those blending brushes...

[@Favorites2012mine]

I'm so glad you're doing capsule card making again! Love this modern, abstract card!

[@debbiehaney8996]

So glad you’re doing the capsule approach again. I love this!

[@andrealavigne7824]

Wow, Kristina--I LOVE that background you created! You're right, it looks like an abstract painting. You could probably frame it & sell it for mega-$$$. LOL Great color scheme especially. Thank you for sharing--good to see you again. Take care, & have an awesome day! :)

[@louisamochizuki9432]

Love how this card came out 😍

[@gretchenwilson1482]

This was an awesome technique!💜🤗😷

[@stefperry4142]

I LOVE the abstract square! What a clever idea and great color mix! You have some pretty awesome components in your capsule box, I look forward to seeing your creations this month.

[@JenniffierKramer]

Can’t wait to see what you come up with these supplies. I really liked the one in February and can’t wait to see more.

[@dorachavez1886]

Sight for sore eyes. You look so beautiful! I missed you. Gorgeous abstract design❤️

[@tonimcglasker6212]

That is one great card. Love it!

[@brendajennings5438]

Love your ideas! So creative!

[@barbhenning4068]

Look forward to the next one in this series. This simple technique turns out a dandy card.

[@craftsglidersandthings3395]

Could you do a capsule paper crafting for Christmas/Holiday cards in July next year?? Just an idea I’m sure we would all love to see. Love these challenges

[@tilliestravelswithlauriean3674]

Loved this video. The card is so perfect for anything. You looked wonderful. Im staying at home mostly as im high risk. Cant wait to try this out.

[@kwernerdesign]

🙋🏻‍♀️ Me too. At home 99% of the time. Thank goodness for Instacart and Door Dash. Lol!

[@ProfCardmaker]

I'm so excited you have the black watercolor paper in your capsule this month. I just picked some up and am looking for ideas on ways to use it.

[@janiceharrison8397]

I love how you were able to make a rather simple card yet it looks like so much more! And the heart is perfect!

[@funfettirapunzel]

That “hello you” stamp set is HILARIOUS lol I love it

[@rubylily]

The last one was FEBRUARY?! Wow I remember watching those and it does not seem like it was so long ago 😂 Love how well this turned out with such a simple stamp!

[@anne-mariestevenson3296]

Life was normal for most of us then!

[@maggiebrinkley4760]

Yay! More capsule cardmaking! And your card is gorgeous, you have such a great eye for colour!

[@ruthgibbs2944]

Love this concept. Great card.

[@kathycamasso6672]

I think I'm going to try this along with you! I need to build up my card stash and I have so many new products that I'm actually overwhelmed!

[@christisteger1242]

This is a great card. Beautiful in its simplicity.

[@donnadegale-kalloo5926]

Omg...I love that! So cool!

[@brendashelonko2149]

Very nice! I’ve got some similar stamps to try this technique. Also, you look mahvelous, dahling!

[@amyreagan3655]

Love this! Please show any other color option you do!💜

[@reneeallen1118]

Love that abstract card

[@leeconradi8918]

Nice card! (Liked your last capsule series.)

[@lindaruschmeyer5298]

Good challenge! Great card. TFS

[@ninacox6865]

I love this series. Thanks

[@adj822]

YAY! This is such a fun series/challenge. You are off to a great start... this card is fantastic! 💜

[@lovewisdomgrace]

I missed your original capsule challenge. I'm looking forward to seeing what you create with the goodies in your capsule box this August.

[@jeanwestackroyd2966]

Love the way you did the card Kristina ! To capsule is such a good idea, thanks for sharing.

[@helensheppard8435]

What a beautiful card

[@veggievg1191]

Glad ur doing this. Helps me focus and use what we have in all various manners.

[@katzinoma]

You little minx! Perfect :)

[@donnacalamari1511]

Absolutely lovely

[@sheilaperl4155]

Gorgeous card!

[@cindylabare960]

Gorgeous card!!

[@natashavacca2850]

I love this card!!!!!! It’s beautiful

[@maestra730]

another stunning card! thanks for sharing!

[@MaryK-iw9xo]

I really like the abstract design of this card. I’m intrigued with the idea of capsule papercrafting, but I don’t think I could fit my whole craft room into a basket. Lol

[@gailthecrafter]

Hello, I’m going to join you this time around. I have lots of new items that I have purchased during the pandemic but I just can’t get myself to use them. So I’m going to put my box together and just do something even if all I do is make backgrounds. Thank you for the spark ⚡️

[@kwernerdesign]

That's a great idea! I've included new stamps in my box, too. Stuff I wanted to try out. It's a great way to push yourself to use what you have. :)

[@terrymcgreevy4351]

Some day I will have the courage to do this. Looking forward to see what you make.

[@XloveXkissX]

I loveeeee the card!!

[@lisabeard4914]

I love this concept. I so want to try it. where would I start

[@clemmon1000]

Creative as usual

[@devenrosales1034]

Kristina, I love your cards but I keep looking at your face, you look so pretty! 😍😍😍

[@kwernerdesign]

Thank you! You're so sweet! :)

[@K.Taylor56]

Great video and concept. Love the end card a lot! So much I’m trying to find the stamp set. Do you have a link for that one ? TIA 🙂

[@anne-mariestevenson3296]

Love love love

[@barbaraarmstrong4295]

Love this concept! Does it work to keep the clutter down? Beautiful simple lovely card! Thanks 🙏

[@RosyRosie42]

Yessss! This is so simple and cute! Really wanting that stamp now ☺️ (Also, really wanting that set of cardstock and inks... but had a heart attack at the price 💔 I’m sure it’s well worth it in quality, but definitely not in my budget at the moment. But it’s officially added to my wishlist. One day!)
