      Posted at 8:05 am by Katie Williams
      Jul 3rd

      Good Morning and Happy Wednesday!  Katie here from 2CrafyKaties to share with you THREE different cards using Newton’s Nook Designs “Lake Advice” stamp set & “Picnic Blanket” stencil by Echo Park Paper!

      Here is what I created: 

      These cards were inspired by video that Jennifer McGuire posted about a week ago.  I used my Gina K 4”x 4” wreath builder template with the Ranger Distress Oxide inks and stenciled the corners of the cards.  Next, I cut I cut 4.25”x 8” cardstock for my card base.  I LOVE this technique that Jennifer shared with us in her video.  I am looking forward to using this technique in the future.

      Here is what I used:

      Echo Park Paper Co – “Picnic Blanket” Stencil

I’ve been thoroughly enchanted by all the “slimline” cards people are making so I’ve been making a few myself.

      My card measures 3 1/2″ by 8 1/2″.

    • Picket Fence ~ Be a Unicorn of the Sea

      Posted at 9:00 am by Crystal O. Minkler
      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

    • Always be a Mermaid | Picket Fence | Scrapping for Less

      Posted at 3:08 pm by Stacy Tiedemann
      Jun 4th

      Hello, it’s Stacy from Craftaholicmomma up today on the Scrapping for Less blog. For the month of June we will be focusing on “Under the Sea” as our theme.

The papers are from Scrapberry’s “Ocean Enchantment” collection. I colored the images in with my Copic Markers (colors listed below). Full list of products used are posted at the end of this post.

      This card was so much fun to make. I think she came out very pretty. I hope you think so too. Leave a comment below if you’ve ever taken an ocean or beach vacation and to where.

    • La-la Land Crafts with Pink & Main ~ Unicorn Marci on Watercolor Foil

      Posted at 9:00 am by Crystal O. Minkler
      May 10th

      Hi there crafty peeps!

      Crystal here sharing an adorable card today using Unicorn Marci and some absolutely beautiful paper from Pink & Main called Watercolor Foil.

      I shared a card last week using Unicorn Marci… you can check out that card here —> Unicorn Marci with Coffee Distress Oxide Watercolor card! I watercolored my card for last week, but for this week I wanted to use bright colors to coordinate the beautiful Watercolor Foil papers so I stamped Unicorn Marci using Gina K Designs Amalgam black ink and then colored her in using the following Copic markers:

      Skin ~ E000, E21, E51, R20

      Hair ~ E42, E43, E44, Y21

      Pajamas ~ RV10, RV14, RV17, RV25, N0, N1

      Slipper boots ~ N0, N1, Colorless Blender

      I die cut the Watercolor Foil papers and adhered them to a white card base. I then fussy cut Unicorn Marci and set her aside. I die cut some clouds that I lightly sponged with some Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide ink but any blue oxide ink would work. There happens to be this ink in the shop —> Salty Ocean Distress Oxide ink… which would work just as well when lightly sponged on.

      I adhered the die cut clouds with liquid glue so I could adjust them quickly before they set. I popped up my fussy cut Unicorn Marci with foam tape. I then stamped the cute sentiment on white card stock with Gina K Designs Amalgam black ink, fussy cut a flag, and then popped it up on the card. I just love that beautiful shine from the foil in the Watercolor Foil papers! So pretty! I sure hope you’ve enjoyed my card!

      Thanks for checking out my blog post!

      See ya next time.

      Inky Hugs,

      Crystal

    • Fairy Kisses | Hero Arts | Scrapping for Less

      Posted at 1:13 pm by Stacy Tiedemann
      May 7th

      Hello, it Stacy from Craftaholicmomma up today on the Scrapping for Less blog with an enchanting card using the Hero Arts Fairy Kisses stamp set and papers from the Scrapberry’s “The Art of Nature” 6×6 paper pack.

      I die cut the pattern paper panel with a scallop stitched rectangle die from Gina Marie Designs. I stamped the sweet little fairy out with Gina K Designs Amalgam ink and colored her in with my Copic Markers. I hand fussy cut her out and popped her up on the card with adhesive foam squares. Her wings and dress have a touch of sparkle to them with a clear glitter sparkle marker.

      I heat embossed the star trails and sentiment with both white and clear embossing powders and Brutus Monroe Clear Embossing ink.

      The theme for the month of May is Magical World. I hope you enjoy all of the great projects we have for you this month.
