- Lawn Fawn ~ Critters Down Under
  
  Posted at 9:00 am by Crystal O. Minkler

  Hello there! Crystal here from Tawny Owl Paperie with a sweet baby card using the adorable Critters Down Under stamp set from Lawn Fawn. I couldn’t resist also using the Kraft & Gold cardstock stack from DCWV again… love these papers!!
  
  My card design today uses the fabulous sketch over at Mojo Monday Sketch challenge 520… only I turned the sketch on the side and moved the sentiment up to make my design work. I do love a good sketch! And this one was perfect for my card today!
  
  Along with the fun Kraft & Gold papers I used the Fall Breeze papers from Photo Play… they coordinated beautifully! Since I knew I was doing a baby card, I chose the foiled hearts paper to adhere to my card base. I then used the Fall Breeze patterned papers and mat them on Lost Lagoon card stock from my stash. I die cut a cross stitched circle using the Large Cross Stitched Circle dies from Lawn Fawn and built my scene of stamped and colored images on the circle.
  
  Here’s a close up of the little scene I created. I used the following Copic markers for my card:
  
  Platypus ~ BG000, BG70, BG72, BG75, YR15, YR16, YR21, E55, E57
  
  Tree ~ E55, E57, E59, YG11, G24, G99
  
  Egg ~ YR21, YR30, BG72, BG75
  
  I had so much fun with this sketch that I decided to do a second card…
  
  This time I kept the sketch upright and used the sweet Koala Doodlepop for my focal image. I used Dark Chocolate and New Leaf card stock for my layers and of course, I had to use a bit more of the fabulous Kraft & Gold papers!! The sentiment is actually from the Critters Down Under set, however, it actually says ‘hoppy birthday’ so I changed the ‘o’ into an ‘a’ just using my Memento tuxedo black marker. Easy peasy!!
  
  In the close up photo you can really see that beautiful shine in the gold foil stripes of the paper! Love it! Well, that’s it for me today… I sure hope that you’ve enjoyed my cards for today!
  
  Thanks so much for stopping by to read my DT blog post! See ya next time.
  
  Inky Hugs,
  
  Crystal

- Let’s Party with Avery Elle’s Peek-A-Boo Pals!

  Hey everyone!
  
  It’s Kim again. I am here today with some super cute critters from Avery Elle. I don’t fussy cut too often but when I do I really go for it! ( I had little hands and heads all over my desk.) I stamped everyone in Gina K Designs amalgam black ink then colored them using my copics. I realize as I am telling you all about this that I didn’t think to make note of the colors I used (forehead slap). Sorry about that I will do my best to get that down in the future. (This is how we learn, right?)
  
  QUICK TIP: When placing multiple items on a card it can be useful to lay all the elements out the way you want them before glueing anything down and ALSO taking a quick pic once you get it all how you want it so you don’t have to try to remember what you just did. (Learn from me people!)
  
  I wanted them all to be peeking out of something so I used an Avery Elle die I had in my stash that put a hole in the center for me. Used paper from Bo Bunny’s Natural Necessities paper pad and got everything adhered down with some liquid glue. Dotted their eyes and the koala’s nose with a black glaze pen to make them shiny. So excited to use Scrapping For Less’ “hooray” die at the bottom of the card as a big sentiment! Then stamped the “Let’s Party” which came in the Avery Elle Peek-A-Boo Pals stamp set in Versafine black onyx ink. This stamp set was a lot of fun and I really liked having their little paws to place separately.
  
  Thank you so much for stopping in and checking out this card! I hope you take some time for yourself and get crafty.
  
  Keep on crafting,
  
  Kim 🙂

- Coloring with Embossing Powder While We Shake Our Tail Feathers
  
  Posted at 10:00 am by Luci Manos
  
  Aug 14th
  
  Hi Everyone! Luci here from My Crazy Craft Life with a few cards using the “Let’s Shake Our Tail Feathers” stamp set from Picket Fence Studios.
  
  Be sure to check out the video HERE!
  
  I heat embossed with colored Embossing Powder the peacock tail feathers after stamping it with Clear Embossing Ink.
  
  I put the embossing powder down in kind of rows and then tapped off the excess. It mixed the embossing powders that I used but I was OK with that, I even made one with the mixed up embossing powders!
  
  I used sentiments from the set and embossed them with silver embossing powder.
  
  For the embellishments, I used Nuvo Crystal Nuvo Drops, Glossy Dots in silver from Pink & Main, and some iridescent clear sequins.

- Longing to See You Giraffe | In the Wild
  
  Posted at 8:10 am by Stacy Tiedemann
  
  Aug 13th
  
  Hello my friends! It’s Stacy here from CraftaholicMomma up today on the Scrapping for Less blog. Today I have a card for you using the Stampendous Giraffe stamp and die combo set. There are two things that I really like about this set. One, you can take the background die and use it with any stamp you have in your collection to make a tree scene. You can make it like the safari I made here, or you could use it as a meadow tree or Halloween dead tree just by changing up the colors of card stock you cut. Two, the giraffe set is so cute and versatile. You could mirror stamp a second one and entwine their necks around each other for an adorable love you card. There’s just so much you can do with it!!
  
  I masked off the card layer with a circle die and masking paper. I used blending brushes and Distress Oxide inks to create the horizon and safari sky. I die cut the tree with black card stock and made it into a frame with a second circle die from my stash. I adhered this over the inked background with liquid adhesive. I stamped, die cut and colored the giraffe with Copic Markers. Stamping the sentiment and popping the giraffe and card layer up on foam adhesive finished it off nicely.
  
  I think it fits in nicely with this month’s theme of “In the Wild”. I would love to go on an African safari someday. I just LOVE giraffes and elephants!
  
  Thanks for visiting,

- Hero Arts ~ Fennec the Fox
  
  Posted at 9:00 am by Crystal O. Minkler
  
  Aug 10th
  
  Hello there crafty friends! Crystal here from Tawny Owl Paperie with a fun CAS card using the sweet Fennec the Fox stamp set by Hero Arts!
  
  How sweet is that face?! I just love that little grin! This was such a fun stamp to color! I kept the coloring on the fox pretty simple but used a good handful for the little flowers.
  
  I used the following Copic markers on this card:
  
  Fox ~ E0000, E000, E21, R00
  
  Flowers ~ V0000, V06, V09, V12, Y06, YR21, YG00, YG03, YG63
  
  My design was inspired by a challenge in a Facebook group that I am a member in called Paper Craft Artist. I just loved the CAS sketch and have been itching to play along. Once my images were colored, I fussy cut them out and touched up the edges with my Memento tuxedo black marker. I set them aside and grabbed the Kraft & Gold cardstock stack by DCWV. I just had to pair this sweet grinning fox with the heart papers… too cute together!!
  
  I used the solid kraft paper for my base layer that I adhered to a A2 Vintage Cream card base and then I added a layer of Vintage Cream card stock measuring 4-1/8 x 5-3/8″. I die cut the heart foiled paper using a standard circle die and adhered it to my card.
  
  I wanted to add some more purple into the card so I trimmed a 1/4″ strip of Elegant Eggplant card stock (for some reason it looks darker in the photos but it coordinates well with the purple flowers) and adhered it to the card, trimming off the excess on either side. I then popped up the happy fox using foam squares and adhered the flowers using a liquid glue. To finish off the card, I pulled out my Stamp Platform and I stamped the ‘Hello’ sentiment using Memento tuxedo black ink. I used my Stamp Platform so ensure that I got a nice crisp inked up sentiment… couldn’t take any chances with my CAS design! I sure love how this turned out!
  
  Thanks so much for checking out my DT blog post today! See ya next time.
  
  Inky Hugs,
  
  Crystal

- Wild Animals, Distress Oxides, and Doodle Pops, Oh My!
  
  Posted at 10:00 am by Luci Manos
  
  Aug 7th
  
  Be sure to check out the video HERE!
  
  Both of these are A2 size cards or 4 1/4 in. X 5 1/2 in. and both card bases are from my stash.
  
  For the first card, I used the “Wild Animals Paper Pad” and used the sheet as a panel that was cut to 4 in. X 5 1/4 in. I colored the chameleon and flower with Studio 71 alcohol markers and used my Scan N Cut to cut the images out. I cut out a circle with a stitched circle die and then put it on overlapping the panel and cut off the end. I used the same paper as the circle to heat emboss the sentiment, and I popped up both the chameleon and sentiment. On the inside of the card, I added another sentiment from the stamp set that said: “Don’t ever change”. I used the Spectrum Noir Sparkle Pen on the chameleon image.
  
  For the next card, I blended Twisted Citron, Lucky Clover, and Peeled Paint, over the Palm Leaf stencil and a piece of the pattern paper from the “Wild Animals” paper pad. I love how it turned out! I cut it down to 4 in. X 5 1/4 in. I stamped the sentiments from the stamp set with Versafine Onyx Black Ink. Popped on the Doodle Pop Koala and used a few sequins from a previous FOTM kit.

  Hello, Crafty Friends! It’s Stacy from CraftaholicMomma today with a super cute card. This month we are celebrating things “In the Wild”.
  
  Roar!!
  
  I made my A2 Card with papers from the Doodlebug Designs At the Zoo 6×6 paper pad and the Koala Doodlepop 3D sticker.
  
  You don’t need a lot of bells and whistles to make a cute card. Some cute paper and a sticker can be just fine if done nicely.
  
  I can’t wait for you to see all the WILD projects the Design Team has in store for you this month.
  
  Thanks for visiting,

- Peacock Tail Feathers with Distress Oxides on Black and White Cardstock
  
  Posted at 10:00 am by Luci Manos
  
  Aug 5th
  
  I love the different look you get by using the same color distress oxides on white and black cardstock!
  
  Be sure to check out the video HERE!
  
  Both of these are A2 size cards or 4 1/4 X 5 1/2. I blended Twisted Citron, Lucky Clover, Peacock Feathers, Wilted Violet and for the white card, I used Mermaid Lagoon and Faded Jeans for the body. After I blended the oxides over the stencil on the white card I cut out a mask so I could add the blues to the body. I used a couple different gel pen colors for the beak area but really didn’t like how that turned out, I finally went over it in black gel pen. I added a sentiment to a white strip that was the same width as the card. and I used the Spectrum Noir Sparkle Pen on every feather and the body. For the black card after I blended the oxide inks over the stencil I used clear shimmer spray over the entire card and the added a fishtailed banner the same width as the card with a sentiment.
