- Pink & Main ~ Happy Camper with Galaxy Foil

  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

  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:

  Hello Crafters, it’s Stacy from CraftaholicMomma today up on the Scrapping for Less blog with a cute card that is totally paper pieced.
  
  I stamped the images onto the Bo Bunny patterned paper and then cut them out with my Brother Scan n Cut. You certainly could easily fussy cut these out as well.
  
  I used a cloud stencil and Distress Oxide ink onto Bristol card stock to make the sky. The rest of the card was very easy to assemble. I just layered up pattern paper for the blue “lake” layer and green “ground” layer. The trees are glued down flat but the tents are popped up on foam adhesive.
  
  I used a warm gray copic marker to give a tiny bit of shadow and dimension to the tents. I stamped the sentiment and called it good.
  
  It makes me think of the cabin on the lake we rent for a week in mid-July up in northern Minnesota. This photo is from the front yard of our cabin. Isn’t that just paradise?
  
  For us Minnesotans, relaxing at the lake is our idea of heaven! What is your favorite way to relax on vacation?
  
  All products used listed below.
  
  We are focusing on products that celebrate nature, being under the stars and camping for the month of July. I hope you enjoy all of the great projects the design team has in store.
  
  Thanks for visiting,

- Heffy Doodle ~ Hootiful

  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

  Greetings friends and fellow crafters. LeeAnn here with one more project for June with Scrapping For Less.
  
  Today I used the Stampedous Stamp set Turtle Fun. I stamped the image using MFT Extreme Black Ink and colored with alcohol markers. I used a set of The Paper Cut dies from my stash to cut out the panels, and the center pale blue panel is from the Lawn Fawn Watercolor 6″x6″ paper pad. I used Cornflower and Soft Sky Inks from Hero Arts to blend the background on my main panel.
  
  I used Morning Dew Nuvo Crystal Drops for the eyes, and Limoncello Nuvo Jewel Drops on the portholes on the ship. I used Crystal Stickles from my stash for the air bubbles.

- SNEAK for June 2019 FOTM

  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:
