  Sunny Studios Home Sweet Gnome

  Posted at 7:00 pm by Luci Manos

  May 2nd

  

  Hi Everyone! Luci here from My Crazy Craft Life with a card made using a stamp set from Sunny Studios “Home Sweet Gnome”!  I love gnomes so I was super excited to be able to make a card with this set!  I also used the Knock on Wood Lawn Fawn paper pad. You can head over to Scrapping for Less to pick up yours at a great price.  Be sure to check out my video for all the details HERE!

  To make this card I did a lot of masking!  A LOT!

  I stamped and masked the images on the largest die cut circle I have about 4 inches. Next, I used distress oxides, a cloud and hillside stencils to add some color to the background.  I colored the images with Copic markers and then used a smaller smaller circle die on the front panel.  I popped the panel up with some foam tape and put it over the larger circle directly on to the card.  I cut a 1/2 inch strip for the sentiment and then added sequins from a past SFL FOTM card kit and a purple bow from some ribbon.

  Thanks for stopping by!

  LaLa Land “Dream Come True”

  Posted at 10:00 am by Luci Manos

  Apr 29th

  Hi Everyone!  I am here today using he LaLa Land Crafts stamp set “Dream Come True” you can pick up this set over at Scrapping for Less.  When I saw the sentiment “You are my dream come true” I knew I wanted to have the knight dreaming of the princess.  Be sure to check out the video HERE for all the details.

  I am making an A2 size card so started out stamping the images on to a card panel that was 5 1/4″ X 4″.  I used a cloud die to create a mask for a thought bubble. Then I masked the images and used distress oxides to make the background using a cloud and hillside stencil.  I colored the images with Copic markers and heat embossed the sentiment on to a sentiment strip.  I used my cropodile to round the edges of the panel and the two edges at the opening of the card and added Morning Dew Nuvo Drops for the little dots going to the thought bubble.  I finished it off using the Nuvo Sparkle Pen on the Princess crown and dress and also on the Knights plume, shield and the flag and a few puffy gold sticker dots.

• March Flavor of the Month Sneak Peak

  Posted at 9:00 am by Luci Manos

  Mar 25th

  

  Hi Everyone!  It’s Luci here from My Crazy Craft Life with a Sneak Peek from the March 2019 Flavor of the Month Card Kit!

  Today we are celebrating friendship!  You know the ones who love us and put up with us even when we can’t stand ourselves!  Yep those ones!

  I wanted this to resemble a scrapbook page with the snapshot of my best friend and me!  I even wrote the date on it just like I would in my scrapbook!  The card is standard A2 size or 5 1/2″ X 4 1/4″.  I used a background panel and then added backgrounds to the image and sentiment.  I colored the image with Copic Markers and stamped the sentiment with VersaFine Onyx Black Ink.  I used my crop-a-dile to round out the edges of the sentiment and finished off the card with some sequins!

  Can’t wait until this sneak peek so I can give my friend this card!

  Be sure to check back each day for a new sneak peek until the big reveal on Friday night/Saturday morning 12:00 am EST!

• Stamping Bella “Bianca Loves Her Big Cake” and Coloring with Nuvo Drops

  Posted at 9:00 am by Luci Manos

  Mar 18th

  

  Hi Everyone!  Luci here from My Crazy Craft Life with a card made from coloring with Copic Markers and Nuvo Drops/Stickles.  The stamp is from Stamping Bella Uptown Girl group “Bianca Loves Her Big Cake“.

  After I stamped the image with Hero Arts Intense Black ink I colored the cake, Bianca, and the tray with Copic Markers.  Once I finished up with that I used Nuvo Drops and Stickles to color in the icing, filling and the little cherry on top of the piece Bianca is holding.  I was little worried the Nuvo Drops/Stickles might run and bleed into the rest of the card!  It didn’t and loved how it turned out.

  I cut out the image with my Scan N Cut and then cut out the inside areas with an xacto knife. Pick out my papers, decided on the design, and stamped a sentiment on a banner with VersaFine Onyx Black Ink from the Paper Smooches “Salutations” set.  Finally, I added a few sequins to finish off the card.  Check out the video below for all the details!

• Pink & Main Sweet Carousel

  Posted at 8:00 am by Luci Manos

  Mar 11th

  

   

  Hi everyone!  Luci here from My Crazy Craft Life!  Today I made a card using the Pink and Main Sweet Carousel stamp set!

  I colored the images with Copic markers and cut them out with my Scan N Cut.

  Then I used a cloud stencil to create the background panel with Distress Oxide Inks. I cut the panel out with a stitched wonky die to make it 4″ X 5 1/4″.

  I just used a tape roll to draw a half circle and checked out a photo online to make the world, I used distress oxides to make color the water and then a water brush and some Lucky Clover to paint in the land.  I popped that up with some fun foam and stamped the sentiment with VersaFine Black Onyx ink and heat embossed it with clear embossing powder. I added it to the bottom of the panel.

  I used a card base I had in a pale green color to accent the land from the world.  I placed the images on the panel added some iridescent sequins and used the Spectrum Noir Sparkle Pen on the horses hair to finish off the card.

  Check out the video below!

  Prisma Colored Pencils on Kraft with Penny Black “Tweetie”

  Posted at 9:00 am by Luci Manos

  Mar 2nd

  Hi Everyone!  Luci here from “My Crazy Craft Life” with a card colored with Prisma Colored Pencils on Kraft cardstock and a Penny Black stamp “Tweetie“.  I made this CAS card which anyone who knows me, knows I have a hard time with them.  I used my stamping tool and Hero Arts Intense Black ink to stamp the image and sentiment because it’s a fairly large image I wanted to make sure I got a good impression.  I used Neenah Desert Storm 100 lb. cardstock.  Then I colored the image with Prismacolor Premier colored pencils and that’s it!  It’s so hard for me to say that!  LOL Hey gotta work the things we can right???!!! There’s a video below you can check out.

  Have a great day!

  Hi Everyone! Luci here from My Crazy Craft Life Monkeying around with some “Gorilla Love” from Stampendous. I had such a fun time figuring out how to create this seesaw card.  Make sure to check out the video on the bottom of the page for all of the details and how to!
