    • Pink & Main ~ Happy Camper with Galaxy Foil

      Posted at 9:00 am by Crystal O. Minkler
      Jul 12th

      Hey there crafty friends! Crystal here from Tawny Owl Paperie with an adorable card using the sweetest little camper set called Happy Camper from Pink & Main. I paired this sweet set with the beautiful Galaxy Foil papers also from Pink & Main… these two products were literally made for each other!!

      I’ve been wanting to make a long card… one that will fit in a #10 envelope. I love to change things up sometimes and this size of card is fun to play with! I started with a 8-1/2 x 11″ piece of kraft card stock. I trimmed it down to 8-1/2 x 8″ and then on the 8″ side, I scored it right in the middle at 4″… giving me a 8-1/2 x 4″ card base. A #10 envelope is actually larger, measuring at 4-1/8 x 9-1/2″ so you could actually make a larger card if you’d like. This was just the size I decided to go with.

      I had my card base and I had picked out my Galaxy Foil paper… but then I realized my paper was only 6″ so how do I make a long card with this short patterned paper. Well, I found that Gina K.’s Plum Punch card stock coordinated with the Galaxy Foil paper and that helped to fill in the rest of my background. And to finish off my scene, I die cut some Gina K. Grass Green card stock using the Grassy Border die from Lawn Fawn. I then adhered my grass layers to the plum card stock being sure to not glue down the top layer of grass blades so I could tuck in my car and camper.

      Speaking of… how adorable is this car and camper!! They were so much fun to color!! I love all the scallops and swirls… so fun!! There are so many cute images in this set too! I just love that little backpack… it reminded me of a denim backpack that I had as a kid so I colored it to look like it, except mine was green. 🙂 How cute is that sentiment ‘Happy trails!’… I thought this would be a cute card to send to someone going out on an adventure maybe camping or taking an RV around the country seeing all the sights!

      Oh my goodness… these adorable bears!! I love their cute faces! I had a blast coloring them too. They look ready to enjoy some camping fun. And that crown on the glamping girl bear… love!!!

      I finished off the card with some kraft twine… it filled in that empty space in that top right corner… and I think it fits with the whole camping/outdoors theme. I used a bunch of Copic markers to color in the images… here they are:

      Girl Bear ~ E21, E23, E25, R00, R20, R21, R43

      Flashlight/Crown ~ V0000, V04, V12, Y06, Y35

      Boy Bear ~ E21, E25, E27, R20, B95, B97, YG17, YG23

      S’mores ~ E27, Y06, Y35, W0, W1

      Lamp ~ N0, N2, N4, Y06, Y11, Y35, R27

      Car/Camper ~ B0000, B000, B02, V0000, V04, V12, N0, N2, N4, N7, R14, R27, Y06, Y11

      Backpack ~ R00, R21, R43, B95, B97, B99, E35, E37

      I had so much fun creating this card… I sure hope you enjoy it!! Thanks so much for stopping by! See ya next time.

      Inky Hugs,

      Crystal

    • Sunny Studio Stamps – Summer Picnic

      Posted at 12:01 am by Katie Williams
      Jul 11th

      Good Morning and Happy Thursday fellow crafters!  Katie here from 2CrafyKaties to share with you a card using Sunny Studio Stamps “Summer Picnic”!  This month’s theme uses products that focus on celebrating the outdoors, nature, camping, and being under the stars!

      Here is what I created: 

      I was once again inspired by a Jennifer McGuire video.  This video is about “Bridge Cards.”  This is a free-standing card that can display a scene or a message/sentiment.  I used a cloud die to create a cloud like stencil and I used the Ranger Distress ink “Stormy Sky” to created clouds on the card base.  I had pre-stamped my images and cut them out with my Brother Scan n’ Cut.  After the card base was finished, I used the “Peeled Paint” Ranger Distress ink to create a grassy area.  I colored all my images with copic markers (listed below) and then assembled.

      Here is what I used: 

      Scrapping for Less

      Sunny Studio Stamp – “Summer Picnic” stamp set

      Ranger Distress Ink – “Stormy Sky” & “Peeled Paint”

      Copics

      Tree – E39, G28, G19

      Grape – V1, G28

      Watermelon – G28, R14

      Banana – Y13

      Plate – B12

      Picnic blanket – R14

      Picnic Basket – R14, E11, E13

    • Heffy Doodle ~ Hootiful

      Posted at 9:00 am by Crystal O. Minkler
      Jul 5th

      Hey there crafty friends! Crystal here from Tawny Owl Paperie with a cute card using the most adorable owl stamp set I think I’ve seen in a long time!! This adorable set is from Heffy Doodle and it’s called Hootiful… so cute! I love these cute owls and there are a bunch of wonderful sentiments in the stamp set too!!

      So, normally I would have created my very own galaxy background but for this card I didn’t have to! I used the fabulous Galaxy Foil papers from Pink & Main!! These papers are so beautiful and the colors are absolutely dreamy!! And it made for another quick card design which I am always looking for!! I knew I wanted to create a scene using the papers for my background so I die cut the papers with a large stitched oval die and set it aside.

      I stamped a bunch of these adorable owls with Memento Tuxedo black ink and then colored them with the following Copic markers:

      Owls ~ W00, W0, W1, W3, W6, W7, Y06, YR15, YR21

      Branch/Leaves ~YG11, YG23, YG25, E34, E53, E57, E59

      Moon ~ Y000, Y02, Y06

      I colored around the edges of each of the fussy cut images with a Memento Tuxedo black marker. I set them all aside and then started building my card base. I die cut a piece of black card stock with a large stitched rectangle die and adhered it to a kraft card front measuring 4-1/4 x 5-1/2″. I then adhered the entire card front to a white card base.

      I just needed to build my scene… I adhered the oval die cut Galaxy Foil paper directly to the black card stock layer. I adhered the owl landing on the branch and then adhered the branch over top. I also adhered the moon… all of these were adhered with Multi Medium Matte directly to the galaxy background. I then popped up the flying owl and the owl near the bottom right side using foam squares. I then stamped the sentiment with VersaMark watermark ink and heat embossed a fine white embossing powder. I die cut the sentiment with a banner die, trimmed it down, and popped it up on the card. I really love how this turned out! I hope you do too!


      Thanks for checking out my blog post!

      See ya next time.

      Inky Hugs,

      Crystal

    • SNEAK for June 2019 FOTM

      Posted at 12:01 am by Katie Williams
      Jun 27th

      Good Morning and Happy Thursday fellow crafters!

      Katie here from 2CraftyKaties to share a sneak from the June 2019 Flavor of the Month kit!

      I used the stamps and paper from collection 3. 

      When I saw the otters and then the sentiment I instantly thought of Yin and Yang!  So, I VERY carefully stamped them together and used my scan and cut to get this image!  I used the following copic markers on the otters and in the space between them (I didn’t want the white space to be a focal point); BG23, E11, E25, E33, E35.

      The layout was inspired by this sketch from Tuesday Morning Sketches #509:

    • The Greeting Farm ~ Happy to Sea You… Again!

      Posted at 9:00 am by Crystal O. Minkler
      Jun 21st

      Hello crafty friends! Crystal here with another couple of cards using the Happy to Sea You stamp set by The Greeting Farm. I just adore this set and had to ink it up again!

      For my cards today, I went with a non-traditional fold. The base of the card is an A2 size measuring at 5-1/2″ x 4-1/4″ but the fold is actually the circle where the focal image is placed. 

      The base is simple with just white card stock with a layer of Watercolor Wishes paper by Lawn Fawn that I die cut with the Wonky Stitched Rectangle STAX Die-namics by My Favorite Things. I then die cut a piece of white card stock that I had scored and folded with the Wonky Stitched Circle STAX Die-namics, also by My Favorite Things. I ran it through my Big Shot a few times to get a really good cut through both layers of the folded card stock. I adhered the circle folded piece to the base and then stamped the sentiments.

      Then I started stamping and coloring all the images… I stamped the images with Memento tuxedo black ink and colored with the following Copic markers:

      Whale ~ BG10, BG23

      Coral ~ R12, R22

      Seaweed ~ YG01, YG23

      Jellyfish ~ RV63, RV66, Colorless Blender

      Clam ~ BV000, BV00, BV13, RV63, RV66, RV91

      Sand ~ E33, E55

      I adhered the fussy cut images to build my scenes… popping up the whale and the jellyfish. To finish off my cards for today I added some drops of the beautiful Fairy Wings Nuvo Dream Drops in the sand at the bottom of the scene… I think it looks like pretty pearls in the sand. So fun!

      I just adore this sweet set… if you’d like to see the other cards I made using this set, you can see them here —> Happy to Sea You cards.

      Thank you so much for checking out my blog post!

      See ya next time.

      Inky Hugs,

      Crystal

    • The Greeting Farm ~ Happy to Sea You!

      Posted at 9:00 am by Crystal O. Minkler
      Jun 15th

      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

      Posted at 9:19 pm by infoscrappingforless
      Jun 11th

      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
