- Winter Fun with A Gnome Winter by Picket Fence Studios
  
  Posted at 9:00 am by Kimberly Smith

  Hi Everybody! Kim here and today I am using A Winter Gnome by Picket Fences which brings cuteness with just a face. I don’t know how they have managed to accomplish this but I’ll take it because this little gnome head is just adorable and without even seeing his eyes he screams Winter! I knew when I pulled this stamp set out to play with…er I mean work with it that I definitely wanted to use Kraft cardstock. I also wanted his beard to be very white and I thought the Kraft cardstock would work well for this. Originally I was going to adhere the naked trees down on top of Kraft paper but while making another card with Carta Bella’s Christmas 6×6 paper pad the snowflakes on top of woodgrain sheet caught my eye and I thought those trees would look perfect on top of that paper instead.
  
  I heat embossed the image on Kraft cardstock with detailed white embossing powder after stamping the image with Versa Mark ink. Blues of course work for winter, I was going for an ombre effect so I started with Navy and worked up with lighter blues by section. Coloring with Derwent Inktense pencils I guess I just forgot that they don’t resist water in any way and thought I could wipe the color off the white embossed areas with a baby wipe but that did NOT work the way it did in my head. So I ended up fussy cutting the image out and using a label punch to punch out the sentiment.
  
  Instead of the white embossing powder which I had already embossed by the way resisting the blue it looks like it just absorbed it. Not what I was going for but it certainly became what I was going with (insert wink emoji here). After adding some sequins with Multi Medium Matte I then used a white Signo pen to trace over some of the details in the gnome’s hat to make them look whiter. I also decided that his beard needed some of that white Signo pen treatment as well. All in all I am happy with this card and per usual seeing about a dozen other ways I would like to use this stamp set.
  
  Thank you so much for checking out the blog today, I hope you take some time for yourself and get crafty.
  
  Keep on crafting,
  
  Kim 🙂

- Adding Color with Nuvo Dream Drops

  Hey everyone! It’s Lynnea! Have you ever tried coloring an image with Nuvo Dream Drops? I did and the results are fantastic! I have a video for you and you can find the products I’ve used in the Scrapping for Less store!
  
  I made two cards using the Indigo Eclipse Nuvo Dream Drops and the Lawn Fawn Critters Ever After stamp set. I started by stamping the unicorn and the dragon from the Critters Ever After stamp set and coloring the white parts of their bodies with an N0 Copic marker for shading. I added some gold accents to the unicorn horn and the horns of the dragon with a Nuvo shimmer marker.
  
  Then came the fun part! I squeezed out some of the Indigo Eclipse Nuvo Dream Drops onto my glass work surface and picked it up with my stylus and “colored” with the Dream Drops! How cool! I love that the Dream Drops allow the stamping to show through because they are translucent.
  
  I added some stamping to the background of my cards for interest using a My Favorite Things background stripe stamp and the stars from the Critters Ever After stamp set. Then I added my images with foam squares! Check out the video below!

- Gina K Designs Through Thick and Thin: No-Line Copic Coloring

  Apr 3rd
  
  Hi crafters and welcome. Today I am using the “Through Thick and Thin” stamp set by Gina K Designs to do some no-line Copic Coloring, which can be very scary.
  
  I stamped my image using second generation stamping with a Copic safe Ink to give a very faint outline but one that I can see well enough to do my coloring. I did a bit of masking to stamp my flower and leaves multipole time.
  
  I colored my flowers using a 4 color blend concentrating on the details within the image itself to guide me as to where I need to put my shading and details.
  
  I created a drop shadow and a frame around my images and added my sentiment. I finished off the card with a few Dream Drops by Nuvo.
  
  Be sure to check out the video for more information. Thanks for stopping by and have a creative and crafty day!

- Copic Coloring Young Love by Penny Black

  Hi crafters. I hope you are having a great weekend getting inky!!. I am stopping by today with a project using the Young Love stamp set by Penny Black.
  
  This image is adorable and full of so much detail, it is perfect for any level of colorist. I left the card pretty simple as the image pretty much can carry an entire card on its own.
  
  I colored the image and die cut it out with a stitched square die. I layered that onto a piece of Kraft Cardstock and created a square card at 5x5.
  
  Be sure to check out the video for tips and tricks on coloring this image. Thanks for stopping by and have a creative and crafty day!

- Polychromos and Gina K Designs Whimsical Wildflowers

  Hello crafters and welcome. I am sharing a card I created with the Gina K Designs stamp set called Whimsical Wildflowers.
  
  I wanted to make this look like a chalkboard and honestly had no idea how to achieve that look. I experimented by stamping my image with white pigment ink and colored them in with my Polychromos. I dabbed on some of the pigment ink around my images with a dray paper towel and adhered my panel onto a white A2 size notecard.
  
  Be sure to check out the video for more information. Thanks for stopping by and have a creative and crafty day!

- Colors of Spring Flavor of the Month Card Kit

  Hi Crafters!! Despite the weather right now, Spring really is right around the corner. So, to celebrate that, I am using the Colors of Spring FOTM card kit for my card today.
  
  I stamped my image from Stamping Bella onto my white card stock and colored her with my Copic Markers. I added my sentiment from the SFL stamp set in the Banana Split level kit.
  
  I adhered my pattern paper onto my card base and layered my main panel on top of that with a small black border on each. Of course, I added some sparkle to her dress and called this one done.
  
  Thanks for stopping by and have a creative and crafty day!

- No-Line Copic Coloring with the FOTM Kit

  Feb 2nd
  
  Hey guys. I can’t seem to get enough of the stamp set by The Greeting Farm from the latest Flavor of the Month Kit.
  
  I decided to try some no-line coloring with the image this time. I stamped the image onto Neenah Solar White card stock with a light colored ink and colored it with my Copic Markers. I used a Copic safe pen to draw in her eyes and mouth and created a shadow under her. I used some of the pattern paper to create a border of the left side of the card and adhered everything together. Nice and simple.
  
  No-line coloring can be sooo scary but I have been practicing a lot and I am really loving the look of it!
  
  I hope you will give it a try. Thanks so much for stopping by and have a creative and crafty day!

- One Layer Scene with Newton’s Nook

  Jan 31st
  
  Hello crafters. I hope you are staying warm with these FRIGID temperatures we have.
  
  Today, I am creating a one layer scene using the Newton Loves Coffee stamp set by Newton’s Nook.
  
  I started by stamping and masking my images from the set and using a Copic safe pen to create little tiles for the counter top these cuties are sitting on. I used Distress Oxide Inks for my wall and colored my images with Copic markers.
  
  I cut down my panel using a stitched rectangle die and added my sentiment and a bit of shimmer.
  
  That’s it for today guys. Have a creative and crafty day!

  Hi everybody and welcome. If you haven’t already subscribed to or purchased the Flavor of the Month card kit, it is a must have. I absolutely love the Newton’s Donut Stamp set from the kit that I just had to create another card with it.
  
  I stamped my image onto a piece of Neenah Solar white cut down with a stitched rectangle die. I also stamped the little sprinkles all around the edges of another panel that is slightly smaller than an A2 card.
  
  I colored Newton and his donut with Copic markers and colored in the sprinkles on both panels with a variety of colors of gel pens.
  
  I stamped my sentiment and adhered everything together onto a pink card base.
  
  That’s it for this one. Thanks for stopping by and have a creative and crafty day!
