  Background Stamps and Critters with Hero Arts and Sunny Studios

  Posted at 10:00 am by Luci Manos

  Jul 13th

  

  Hi Everyone!  Luci here from My Crazy Craft Life! With an A2 size card made using Sunny Studio Stamps “Critter Campout” and Hero Arts “Star Light Star Bright“.

  Be sure to check out the video for all the details HERE!

  

  

  I started out by using the background stamp on the Tim Holtz Travel Platform with Hero Arts Inks in Ombre Mint to Green, Soft Purple, Soft Pool, Pool, and Deep Ocean and layered the colors stamping multiple times.

  Next, I used the solid tree stamp in the Critter Campout set to create a tree line and then used the Scan N Cut DX to cut the image out with black cardstock.  I used a piece of blue mulberry and blue vellum from Die Cuts with A View, they were old mat stacks I had in my stash, and a piece of green cardstock I cut them down to fit within the scene and layered the vellum over the mulberry.  I cut out a border on the green cardstock for the border of the lake and grass and I stamped the grass outline with Lucky Clover Distress Oxide ink all over. I cut the sky background down to 5 1/4 in. X 4 in. and glued all of the pieces down to create the scene.

  I colored a couple of the critters and the campfire from the stamp set with Studio 71 markers and used the Scan N Cut to cut them out.  Then glued them onto the scene.  I glued the panel to a black card base. I used two of the stickers from the Paper House “At the Lake” sticker set for the sentiment on the inside and front panel.  To finish it off I used the Spectrum Noir Sparkle Pen on all of the stars in the sky and then to create a pooling effect in the water.

  Camping Time is Here, with SFL and PhotoPlay

  Posted at 8:00 am by LeeAnn McKinney

  Jul 10th

  Greetings friends and fellow crafters. It’s LeeAnn and I am so excited for this month with Scrapping For Less. All of these cards were made using the 6″x6″ Campfire and Riverside paper pad by PhotoPlay. 

  For this first card it gives every reason I love going camping. I really miss the days we would join the family out at the camp in the Florida Everglades and have fun all weekend without a care about what was back at home. Campfires that we kept running all day and night, swamp buggy and four wheeler rides out to the middle of the field to check out the stars. 

  My husband said this is his favorite card of the three. Canoeing is so much fun and I personally can’t wait until the water is high enough to be able to go to down the river on a 4 hour float.
  

  This card was fun, easy and yet took a bit of time. I used background paper from the same PhotoPlay Campfire and Riverside 6″x6″ paper pack, however I also used the Echo Park Night Sky Stencil, and NUVO Embellishment Mousse in Gunmetal. Using a palette knife I spread the Mousse over the stencil, I then removed the stencil and let the panel dry while going to wash up the stencil and palette knife. My night sky panel is mounted on silver mirror paper on a white card base. The sentiment panel is also mounted on silver mirror paper and white panel beneath that.

  Pink & Main Turtley Amazing

  Posted at 10:00 am by Luci Manos

  Jun 17th

  Hi Everyone!  Luci here from My Crazy Craft Life with a few cards using the Pink & Main “Turtley Amazing” stamp set.  Be sure to check out the video for all the details HERE!

  I colored the images on the last two cards with Studio 71 by Darice alcohol markers.  I had heard good reviews on them and decided to pick up a set with 48 markers.  Check out the video for my thoughts.

  

  The first card is an A2 size 4 1/4 X 5 1/2 and I used “Tumbled Glass” Distress Oxide Ink to create the background on a 4 in. square piece of white cardstock. For the stamping I used Hero Arts Charcoal ink and the Gina K “Wreath Builder“.  I stamped the sentiment with Brutus Monroe embossing ink and heat embossed it with white embossing powder. I placed the panel on a black card base and finished it off with a few sequins, clear enamel dots, Ranger “Glossy Accents” on the turtle shells, and a Sakura “Black Glaze Pen” on the turtles eyes.

  

  My second card is a 4 1/2 square card. I used all of the small images with the wreath builder to create the background on a 4 in piece of white cardstock. The inks I used were Hero Arts Mulled Wine, Moss, Soft Cantaloupe, and Lawn Fawn Merman. I added two of the turtles I colored. For the card base and sentiment strip I used a burnt orange piece of card stock from my stash. I stamped the sentiment with VeraFine Onyx Black ink and I finished the card by adding glossy accents to the turtle shells and for the eyes the glaze pen.

  

  My final card I used the Scrapping for Less “Water Patterns” 6X6 paper pad to create a background along with a piece of kraft cardstock. I stamped the sentiment with VersaFine Onyx Black Ink and I heat embossed it with black embossing powder.  I placed the colored images around the background and finished it with glossy accents to the turtle shells, a Spectrum Noir sparkle pen on the small images and for the eyes the glaze pen.

  “You’re Turtley Awesome” from Scrapping For Less and Stampendous

  Posted at 8:00 am by LeeAnn McKinney

  Jun 14th

  Greetings friends and fellow crafters, LeeAnn here with my project using Stampendous Stamp set called “Turtle Fun“. Let me just say after the few days we spent at the beach last week, having manatee’s come up and swim right by us, the only thing I had told my husband I was missing was some turtles, so when I found that I was getting to work with this set, I was so happy.

  

  To make this card, the main blue panel is from a Lawn Fawn 6×6 paper pad called Watercolor Wishes, first I stamped the image twice, one I cut the images apart using my Scan n Cut and the other I used a combination of Salty Ocean, Mermaid Lagoon and Blueprint Sketch that was still on my blending brush from a past project to blend the ocean water at the top of the panel. I then used my Radiating Rays stencils from MFT and the same blend again to create the image of the sunlight shining down into the water.

  I used alcohol markers to color my images and foam tape to pop them up over their corresponding parts on the main card panel to add a 3D effect. I used Morning Dew Nuvo drops on the yes and lights on the ship, and White Blizzard Nuvo drops in the air bubbles.

  Once all this was complete, I used a Spellbinders Die to make this pop up slider effect, which is where I used more of the Oxide ink blend, and stamped the sentiment. Once the recipient pulls the twine on the top, the card panel will slide up, and the sentiment will be revealed. Had I used thicker foam tape to attach the top panel to the base, I wold have been able to include a gift card under the panel as well.

  ~ La-La Land Crafts ~

  Posted at 12:01 am by Katie Williams

  Jun 13th

  Good Morning and Happy Thursday!  Katie here from 2CrafyKaties to share with you TWO of my latest card using La-La Land Craft’s “Best Mates” stamp set and Doodle Bug Design 6x6 paper pad “Anchors aweigh”.  But first I wanted to let you know that sometimes in life you need a break.  I took a much needed 3-week break from all of my design teams.  I am back and I feel refreshed and ready to create, so much so in fact that I have TWO cards to share with you!

   Here is what I created: 

  

  

  

  I am a sketch girl.

  I LOVE sketches.

  I knew I was going to use this stamp set and this paper pad for my project.  As I was looking at different sketches, I came across Tuesday’s Morning Sketch that posted on 06/12.

  I knew this sketch would work!  I had already stamped out the images (multiple times in fact) and cut them out using my Scan n’ Cut (LOVE this machine!)  Next I looked through the paper pad to find two different types of paper to use.  I ended up finding 2 sets of 2, so I figured, why not make two cards?  Once I figured out my paper I started coloring, followed by cutting my paper to the right size, stamping my sentiment, and then gluing everything down.  

  Here is what I used:

  Posted at 9:00 am by Luci Manos

  Jun 10th

  Hi Everyone!  It’s Luci from “My Crazy Craft Life” with Center Box Pop Out or Pop Up Card!  I am so happy with how this turned out!  Be sure to check out the video for all the details, dimensions, and tips I learned along the way HERE!  For this project I used The Greeting Farm “Hands Down” and Sunny Studio “Magical Mermaids” stamp sets.  I stamped the images with Hero Arts Intense Black Ink and I used  Tsukineko Jet Black to stamp the glasses from the Hands Down set on to Acetate, and Copic colored all of the images. The cardstock was from my stash.

  Sea-Prise from Scrapping For Less

  Posted at 8:00 am by LeeAnn McKinney

  Jun 6th

  Greetings friends and fellow crafters. It’s LeeAnn and I am here today with my first post for Scrapping For Less in for June 2019. I had so much fun while making this card, using Avery Elle’s “Sea-Prise” stamp set and I hope you enjoy it.

  

  To start off I used Salty Ocean, Mermaid Lagoon and Blueprint Sketch Distress Oxides to make my cover layer. I used an MFT Stencil (Make Waves) to create the scene. Once dry, I spritzed on some water to help with the look.

  I then stamped the schools of fish using the Blueprint Sketch Distress Oxide. I stamped the Shark and Pufferfish using GinaK Amalgam Black Ink, and stamped the sentiment with the same. I cut out my images with the Scan N Cut and colored with Artist Loft Alcohol Markers.

  My layers were put together using GinaK Connect Glue. I love the ease of use for this little bottle.
