- The Greeting Farm ~ Happy to Sea You!

  Hello crafty friends!
  
  Crystal here with two fun cards using the adorable Happy to Sea You set by The Greeting Farm and I’ve paired it with the beautiful Watercolor Wishes paper by Lawn Fawn!!
  
  I love how easy it is to make a card using these beautiful papers for your background! They are so beautiful and all I needed to do was run them through the Big Shot with a fun die to create my background. For the cards I’m sharing today, I used the Stitched Circle Plate Background die by Gina Marie Designs. I die cut it four times… twice for the two patterned papers and then with white card stock and kraft card stock.
  
  Once I had that done, I set it aside and stamped my sea creatures… oh my goodness… this set of sea creatures just might be my favorite!! The turtle… love! And that seahorse… adore!! I sure had a blast coloring all the images!!
  
  I used the following Copic markers to color the images:
  
  Turtle ~ G12, G24, G28, BG10, BG23
  
  Whale ~ B21, B23, B26, T1
  
  Clam ~ RV63, RV91, N0, N1, N3, R00
  
  Seahorse ~ G12, G24, YG01
  
  Jellyfish ~ RV91, V04, V12
  
  Octopus ~ V04, BV000, BV00, BV04, BV13
  
  Starfish ~ YR15, YR16, R12
  
  Shark ~ N0, N1, N3
  
  Seaweed ~ YG01, YG23
  
  Coral ~ R12, R22
  
  Once I had them all colored, I fussy cut them out as close to the black line as possible and then colored the edges with my Memento tuxedo black marker. That’s a great way to make the edges look nice and clean. And then the fun part of building my scenes… so fun! On both cards, I wanted a creature to look like he was swimming through the circle so I used the whale on my first card and the shark on the second. I think it gives dimension to the card even though all the layers are adhered together. Yup… you read that right. I didn’t pop up any of the images!! Lol!
  
  But I did pop up the sentiments!!! I just love how these turned out! I hope I’ve inspired you to create a fun scene using pretty papers and cute stamps! Both items I’ve featured today are in stock in the SFL shop!!
  
  Thanks so much for taking the time to check out my blog!
  
  See ya next time.
  
  Inky Hugs,
  
  Crystal

- “You’re Turtley Awesome” from Scrapping For Less and Stampendous

  Greetings friends and fellow crafters, LeeAnn here with my project using Stampendous Stamp set called “Turtle Fun“. Let me just say after the few days we spent at the beach last week, having manatee’s come up and swim right by us, the only thing I had told my husband I was missing was some turtles, so when I found that I was getting to work with this set, I was so happy.
  
  To make this card, the main blue panel is from a Lawn Fawn 6×6 paper pad called Watercolor Wishes, first I stamped the image twice, one I cut the images apart using my Scan n Cut and the other I used a combination of Salty Ocean, Mermaid Lagoon and Blueprint Sketch that was still on my blending brush from a past project to blend the ocean water at the top of the panel. I then used my Radiating Rays stencils from MFT and the same blend again to create the image of the sunlight shining down into the water.
  
  I used alcohol markers to color my images and foam tape to pop them up over their corresponding parts on the main card panel to add a 3D effect. I used Morning Dew Nuvo drops on the yes and lights on the ship, and White Blizzard Nuvo drops in the air bubbles.
  
  Once all this was complete, I used a Spellbinders Die to make this pop up slider effect, which is where I used more of the Oxide ink blend, and stamped the sentiment. Once the recipient pulls the twine on the top, the card panel will slide up, and the sentiment will be revealed. Had I used thicker foam tape to attach the top panel to the base, I wold have been able to include a gift card under the panel as well.

  Good Morning and Happy Thursday!  Katie here from 2CrafyKaties to share with you TWO of my latest card using La-La Land Craft’s “Best Mates” stamp set and Doodle Bug Design 6x6 paper pad “Anchors aweigh”. But first I wanted to let you know that sometimes in life you need a break. I took a much needed 3-week break from all of my design teams. I am back and I feel refreshed and ready to create, so much so in fact that I have TWO cards to share with you!
  
  Here is what I created:
  
  I am a sketch girl.
  
  I LOVE sketches.
  
  I knew I was going to use this stamp set and this paper pad for my project. As I was looking at different sketches, I came across Tuesday’s Morning Sketch that posted on 06/12.
  
  I knew this sketch would work! I had already stamped out the images (multiple times in fact) and cut them out using my Scan n’ Cut (LOVE this machine!) Next I looked through the paper pad to find two different types of paper to use. I ended up finding 2 sets of 2, so I figured, why not make two cards? Once I figured out my paper I started coloring, followed by cutting my paper to the right size, stamping my sentiment, and then gluing everything down.
  
  Here is what I used:

  La-La Land Craft’s “Best Mates”
  
  Doodle Bug Design 6x6 paper pad “Anchors aweigh”
  
  Copics

- I need Vitamin Sea!! Featuring Newton’s Nook “Vitamin Sea”

  Hello Everyone! Christine with Pattercrafts here with a set of 3×3 cards featuring the “Vitamin Sea” stamp set from Newton’s Nook!
  
  Today I made a set of six 3″x3″ cards. The card bases were made with colored cardstock cut to 6 inches x 3 inches and scored at 3 inches.
  
  The front panels: I cut watercolor cardstock to 2 7/8″ x 2 7/8″. I found coordinating distress ink to match my card bases and used the distress ink to stamp the image. Once all the front panels were stamped, I went back in with the distress ink and went over the entire panel – keeping a very light hand over the stamped image.
  
  To finish the cards I used a variety of Nuvo Drops!
  
  Thank You So Much for joining me today. I hope you enjoy and get inspired.
  
  Distress Ink Colors: Mustard Seed, Worn Lipstick, Dusty Concord, Peeled Paint, Broken China, Spiced Marmalade
  
  Nuvo Drops: Glitter Drops Yellow Bird, Glitter Drops Sherbert Shimmer, Crystal Drops Crushed Grape, Crystal Drops Woodland Green, Glitter Drops Blue Lagoon, Crystal Drops Ripened Pumpkin

  Good Evening…what a day! This day certainly did not go like I wanted it to go…so I am finally getting my post up and then tomorrow is another day! Thank goodness for new beginnings each day.
  
  I was very pleased with how this card turned out with all the difficulties getting it all put together.
  
  I used Lawn Fawn “You are Sublime” stamp and created a cute little underwater scene. I colored the images with Copic markers…I need to take lessons from Crystal and take notes on my color combos but that will have to be another day. I also used some distress oxide inks for the ink blending on the white panel. I used a sprayer to get some distress ink splatters on the paper…hope you enjoy the card…make sure you check out the store and see. what you might find!
  
  Supplies Used: You are Sublime Stamp by Lawn Fawn
  Distress Oxide Inks
  Anchors Aweigh 6×6 Paper Pad by Doodlebug Designs for that added little color behind the main panel.
  
  Thanks for joining me today!
  
  Crafty Hugs, Teresa

  Hi Everyone! It’s Luci from “My Crazy Craft Life” with Center Box Pop Out or Pop Up Card! I am so happy with how this turned out! Be sure to check out the video for all the details, dimensions, and tips I learned along the way HERE! For this project I used The Greeting Farm “Hands Down” and Sunny Studio “Magical Mermaids” stamp sets. I stamped the images with Hero Arts Intense Black Ink and I used Tsukineko Jet Black to stamp the glasses from the Hands Down set on to Acetate, and Copic colored all of the images. The cardstock was from my stash.

  Hi it’s Lynnea! I am so excited that the theme for June at Scrapping for Less is under the sea! Underwater critters are my favorites! I created a simple watercolor background! I hope you love it! Check out the video at the end of the post!
  
  Don’t you just LOVE the Jaws Because stamp set from La-La Land Crafts!? Seriously so cute! I picked out some of my favorite images and stamped them repeatedly across my card with the help of my MISTI.
  
  Watercolor is my favorite way to color, so I grabbed my Sakura Koi palette and started painting! I love the look of defined shading with watercolor! I started with a light layer of color and came back in with some darker color for shading.
  
  I added black watercolor spatters to the background for texture and a simple white heat embossed sentiment to finish my card. Here’s my how-to video!

- Picket Fence ~ Be a Unicorn of the Sea

  Jun 7th
  
  Hey there crafty friends!
  
  Crystal here with a couple super fun cards to share today using the fabulous Be a Unicorn of the Sea stamp set by Picket Fence. Oh my goodness… this is an adorable set!!
  
  I paired this fabulous set with the beautiful Watercolor Wishes paper by Lawn Fawn. I stamped the schools of fish and bubbles directly on the Watercolor Wishes paper using Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide ink and Powder Blue ink by Gina K. Designs. I adhered that to another layer from the paper pad and then I set it aside.
  
  I stamped several of the narwhals and started coloring… I wanted my narwhals to have some pink-purple so I started by coloring them with the V000 Copic marker. I then added some grays to the narwhals using C00, C2, and C3.
  
  I fussy cut the narwhals and adhered them to my panels… popping up one of the narwhals for dimension. Once I had my panels done, I set them on the white card base so I could decide where to put the sentiment. Using my stamp platform I positioned the sentiment just so and was able to remove the panel and then stamp without worrying about getting extra ink on my panel. For my first card, I stamped the sentiment with Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide ink and then just barely inked up the bottom portion of the sentiment with the Powder Blue ink and stamped it again.
  
  I love the effect it gives to the sentiment!
  
  For my second card, I did all the same steps except I turned my card base and made my panel slightly larger to fit the card. For the sentiment on this one, I just used Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide ink.
  
  To finish off both of my cards I added drops of the gorgeous Nuvo Dream Drops Fairy Wings. Oh my goodness the color of these drops is seriously dreamy! Love them!!
  
  Be sure to check out the Scrapping for Less website this month… the featured products this month are all Under the Sea!!
  
  Thanks so much for checking out my blog!
  
  See ya next time.
  
  Inky Hugs,
  
  Crystal

- Sea-Prise from Scrapping For Less

  Jun 6th
  
  Greetings friends and fellow crafters. It’s LeeAnn and I am here today with my first post for Scrapping For Less in for June 2019. I had so much fun while making this card, using Avery Elle’s “Sea-Prise” stamp set and I hope you enjoy it.
  
  To start off I used Salty Ocean, Mermaid Lagoon and Blueprint Sketch Distress Oxides to make my cover layer. I used an MFT Stencil (Make Waves) to create the scene. Once dry, I spritzed on some water to help with the look.
  
  I then stamped the schools of fish using the Blueprint Sketch Distress Oxide. I stamped the Shark and Pufferfish using GinaK Amalgam Black Ink, and stamped the sentiment with the same. I cut out my images with the Scan N Cut and colored with Artist Loft Alcohol Markers.
  
  My layers were put together using GinaK Connect Glue. I love the ease of use for this little bottle.
