- Stamping Bella ~ Tumbleblossom Cluster ~ A Thanks+giving Card

  Hello there crafty friends! Crystal here from Tawny Owl Paperie with another look at the fabulous Tumbleblossom Cluster stamp set by Stamping Bella… this stamp is absolutely stunning and such a dream to color! I had so much fun watercoloring it last week that I just had to color it up with my copic markers.
  
  It’s been a very long time since I’ve attempted an Eclipse card and I thought it would be so fun to use the florals in this stamp as my eclipse background. Can you see the “Thanks” in the midst of the florals? It’s not super easy to see in this first picture but the closeup pictures that follow you can see it more and more.
  
  I used the following Copic markers to color these beautiful flowers in Autumn hues ~ Y000, Y06, Y17, YR000, YR15, YR27, YR68, BG70, BG72, BG75, YG11, YG95, YG97, R000, R00, R11, R14, R20, R56, R89. I added touches of white in the centers of some of the flowers with a white gel pen.
  
  I die cut the thanks from the center of the flowers and then again three more times from scraps of kraft card stock. I then stamped the “+ giving” from the Fall Breeze stamp set by Photo Play, masking the “thanks” portion of the sentiment, onto a scrap piece of black card stock with VersaMark watermark ink and heat embossed a fine white embossing powder. I trimmed it down and set it aside.
  
  I die cut the flowers with the scallop peekaboo rectangle and then die cut a 4-1/4 x 5-1/2″ piece of black card stock. I adhered the two pieces onto a thin piece of white card stock and adhered the “thanks” die cut pieces. I then popped up the “+ giving” sentiment with foam squares. To finish off the card, I added several Chalk White Nuvo Stone Drops.
  
  Here’s one more look at the card. I sure hope that you like my second Autumn take on this lovely cluster stamp. I truly enjoyed making it and I hope I’ve inspired you to give the Eclipse technique a try. Such a fun technique!!
  
  Thanks so much for stopping by! See ya next time.
  
  Inky Hugs,
  
  Crystal

  Happy Fall Ya’all! It’s Stacy from CraftaholicMomma up today on the Scrapping for Less blog with a set of cute treat pouches. These would be great for gift cards, bookmarks or anything you’d like to put inside. They’d make perfect little gifts. Plus they are SUPER easy and fast to make using just one sheet of 6×6 paper.
  
  First thing to do is take your paper and score it. I’m including a diagram I drew showing the score marks and cut marks.
  
  Next take your scissors and cut off the two selected bottom portions.
  
  If you want a fancy border on the top of your pouch go ahead and punch or die cut it now.
  
  Next use your favorite tape runner or strong tape to add adhesive to the two 1/2″ sections.
  
  Now close up the long side and bottom. Fold over the back panel and viola! You have a super fast and totally cute treat pouch.
  
  Just decorate it! I added tags and stickers and leftover scraps to decorate mine. I used these adorable pumpkin paperclips by Doodlebug Designs to attach my tags to the pouches.
  
  I made a matching bookmark to go with one of the pouches. The book mark measures 5 1/2″ by 2″. Rustic twine adds the perfect touch to the tags and bookmark.
  
  All three of these pouches and bookmark took me less than 20 minutes to make. You could easily mass produce these for a class of kiddos, teachers or co-workers. I hope you give this super easy tutorial a try. I’d love to see what you make! Use hashtag #stacystreatpouch in your social media and I’ll show you some love!!
  
  Thanks for visiting,
  
  Products Used:
  
  Fiskars Scallop Border Punch

  Rustic Twine

- Stamping Bella ~ Tumbleblossom Cluster

  Hello there crafty friends! Crystal here from Tawny Owl Paperie with a wonderful watercolor card using a medium that I don’t use often enough and that is Distress Crayons! It has been a long time since I’ve used my distress crayons and actually, it’s been a good long while since I’ve watercolored so I thought why not do it now!
  
  So to start, I stamped the gorgeous Tumbleblossoms Cluster stamp by Stamping Bella four times over a 4-1/2 x 5-1/2″ piece of Canson XL watercolor paper with VersaMark watermark ink and then heat embossed a fine white embossing powder. I then scribbled Mustard Seed, Spiced Marmalade, Rusty Hinge, Festive Berries, Fired Brick, Peeled Paint, and Walnut Stain Distress Crayons on my Tim Holtz Glass Media Mat. I was then able to use my watercolor pen and grab the pigment with my pen and watercolor the panel. I had so much fun!
  
  I started with the lightest color (Mustard Seed) and actually colored a bunch of the flowers with just that color and then I went back in with the Spiced Marmalade and the Festive Berries to add some rich, darker tones that felt more Fall-ish to me. I used the Walnut Stain to color in the open spaces and I just love the way it makes the flowers pop on the panel. To finish off the panel I added some white gel pen to the tiny little flowers and berries. Once I was done watercoloring, I die cut the panel with a stitched rectangle die and then mat it with a gorgeous reddish orange card stock that I found in my stash. Now the Tumbleblossoms Cluster stamp set doesn’t have a sentiment so I dug through some of my Fall stamps and found a gem… the Teresa Talks Fall stamp set!! I love this set and the “fall greetings” sentiment was absolutely perfect for this card! I stamped the sentiment on that same card stock with VersaMark watermark ink and I embossed it with a fine white embossing powder. I trimmed it down and then popped up the sentiment. My first thought when finishing up this card was to find a neutral card base… maybe white or kraft (my go to’s!!) but then I got to thinking… I really want that Mustard Seed yellow to pop on this card so I dug through my stash of card stock and found this perfect yellow card stock. Bam! It was perfect! I trimmed it down to a 4-1/4 x 5-1/2″ piece and then adhered that to a white card base.
  
  Surprise! I was able to make another simple card using the leftover panel. I used the same yellow and reddish orange card stocks from my stash (both are from past card kits… I’m honestly not sure which colors though) and then I added a strip of some kraft card stock that was also in my stash and had just enough left over for a 4-1/4 x 5-1/2″ piece for my card front. I then adhered it to a white card base. To finish this one off, I just stamped and heat embossed the same sentiment. Done!
  
  Here’s a picture of both cards using the one watercolored panel. I have another small piece left over from the panel that I’ll set aside and I hope to use it on another project. I had so much fun making these cards to share with you today! I hope you’re inspired to pull out those neglected mediums in your crafty stash and get some fun crafty time!!
  
  Thanks so much for stopping by! See ya next time.
  
  Inky Hugs,
  
  Crystal

- September is All About Fall

  Sep 3rd
  
  Happy Fall, Crafty Friends, it’s Stacy from CraftaholicMomma up today on the Scrapping for Less blog with the first post of the new month focusing on products that celebrate that wonderful season, FALL. I live in Minnesota where we definitely have all four seasons and Fall is my most favorite. I love the colors, the scents, the animals scurrying about and most of all the changing colors of the leaves.
  
  Today I have a card I made using a stamp set by Pinkfresh called Forest Friends. This is an adorable yet highly versatile stamp set. You could easily make cards for any season just by changing up the scene and the colors. The little hamster in my brain is already running a hundred miles per hour on her hamster wheel with ideas.
  
  I used papers from the Echo Park Celebrate Autumn 6×6 paper pad for all of the layers. I even stamped the little bear on one of the patterns and fussy cut him out. The trees and sentiment were stamped using VersaFine Onyx Black Ink. Using the MFT Inside Outside Stitched Oval Dies made just the perfect aperture for the scene of trees.
  
  I can’t wait for you to see all of the wonderful projects the design team has in store for you this month, all celebrating that glorious season, FALL.
  
  Thanks for visiting,

  Hi Everyone, it’s Stacy from CraftaholicMomma up on the Scrapping for Less blog with Day 4 of the new card kit sneak peeks.
  
  Are you excited? I know I am. The papers and stamps in this kit are so “exotic” they’ll turn you into a Wild Animal!!
  
  Today I used the stamp and papers from Collection Three. I also grab the sentiment from the Banana Split Stamp set.
  
  I created the image by doing a lot of masking and stamping to create my little meerkat crowd. I used a cloud stencil and Distress Oxide inks to blend the background.
  
  The handsome little meerkat down front was stamped on the pattern paper, fussy cut and paper pieced into position.
  
  To help the sentiment stand out as well, I slid the paper off to the side a teeny bit and did a “ghost” stamp.
  
  The big reveal with be this coming Saturday, at 12:00 am EST. If you’re interested in making sure one of these gorgeous kits has your name on be sure to sign up for a subscription (plus saves you even more $$) prior to 10:00 pm EST Friday night.

  Hello there crafty friends! Crystal here from Tawny Owl Paperie sharing a sneak peek of the new August 2019 Flavor of the Month card kit… and I hope that you are prepared for another amazing card kit!! I am always in awe of the fabulous kits that Kim and Teresa put together for us to create with… so awesome!
  
  One of my favorite collections in this month’s card kit includes this fabulous bird stamp and let me tell you… the papers in this gorgeous kit are Drop. Dead. Gorgeous!! I literally didn’t want to cut into them… lol… so I opted to use these beautiful foiled tags and a few other embellishments from the kit!! I did, however, cut into the papers and you’ll see what I created on Saturday when the kit is revealed and our hop is live!!!! Eeeep!! You’re going to love it!!
  
  Back to these beautiful tags though… I had so much fun coloring this bird!! I stamped the bird twice on each tag and then again on scrap pieces of white card stock. I used the following copics for this tag ~ B0000, B00, B14, B24, YR0000, YR21, YR24, E0000, E00, E41, E43.
  
  I also added some white gel pen to the eyes. I fussy cut the birds out and colored the edges of the fussy cut birds black with my Memento tuxedo black marker and then I adhered them to the tags. For the pink bird I used the following copic markers ~ RV0000, RV10, RV63, YR0000, YR21, YR24, E0000, E000, E41, E43.
  
  I stamped the sentiment from the same collection omitting a portion of the sentiment (you can see a tiny bit of the omitted sentiment on the pink tag, but I’ll clean that up later with a sand eraser). I then added a strip of pretty gold glitter paper and then adhered the paper flowers. My final touch is some gold organza ribbon and twine jute… both from my stash (not included in the kit). Love how these turned out and I sure hope you’ve liked them too!
  
  Be sure to use the hashtag #SFLFOTMexoticanimals when posting your creations using the new August 2019 Flavor of the Month card kit!! I can’t wait to see your creations using this month’s kit!!
  
  Thanks so much for stopping by! See ya next time.
  
  Inky Hugs,
  
  Crystal
