- Sending a Cuddly Hello with Doodlebug Designs’ Koala Doodle-Pop
  
  Posted at 9:00 am by Kimberly Smith
  
  Aug 23rd
  
  Hi everyone! Kim here with a cute koala doodle-pop from Doodlebug Designs and a confession…I have a habit of hoarding my doodle-pops! I know, I know they are meant to be used but I sure do love looking through them and sometimes find it hard to use them up. That being said they really do make the cutest addition to cards.
  
  I started off wanting to create some background paper with the koala stamps from the Hero Arts stamp set Realistic Animals. Using Gina K. Designs Amalgam ink in whisper I stamped the images all over the paper. It looked amazing at first and then once it dried I found that it was super hard to see which completely defeated the purpose. I didn’t want to completely lose the sheet so I decided to use it to frame the koala.
  
  I had some paper in my stash that was covered in leaves and I thought it would be perfect for using as a background. While trimming the paper down the leaves seemed to lend themselves perfectly to being cut out and a few of them popped up with some pop dot pieces. Some cards you may spend quite some time coloring an image or spend some time doing an ink technique or playing with embossing paste but so often when I am using a doodle-pop as a main focus the card comes together so quickly that I find myself looking it over extra long to see what I missed.
  
  QUICK TIP: WHEN USING POP DOTS BE SURE TO USE PARTS OF THE PANEL LEFT BEHIND AFTER USING THE DOTS. THEY CAN BE CUT UP AND USED FOR WHATEVER SIZE YOU MAY NEED!
  
  Also the sentiment that was used on this card came from the Hero Arts stamp set Realistic Animals. I love this little koala’s face so sweet!
  
  Thank you so much for stopping by, I hope you find some time for yourself today.
  
  Keep on crafting,
  
  Kim 🙂

- 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!

- 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

- 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

  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.
