I put the embossing powder down in kind of rows and then tapped off the excess. It mixed the embossing powders that I used but I was OK with that, I even made one with the mixed up embossing powders!
I used sentiments from the set and embossed them with silver embossing powder.
Not all of our cards need to take hours, sometimes you just need a quick card to say Hey! This card is a standard A2 size card or 4 1/4 X 5 1/2 inch. I cut out a piece of the galaxy paper to 4 X 5 1/4 for the front panel, I used a circle die to cut out a piece of scrap patterned scrap paper, I did end up taking another scrap piece of cardstock die-cut it with the same circle just to give it some more stability. Then I added the lounge chair sticker to the die cut circle and a sentiment sticker that says “On Lake Time”. On the inside I used the sentiment stamp “is my favorite place to be from Critter Campout! And that’s it, easy peasy!
Hi Crafty Friends, it’s Stacy here from CraftaholicMomma up today on the Scrapping for Less blog with a cute sign I made using stickers.
For the month of July the theme is Under the Stars. We are celebrating nature and camping, spending time with Mother Nature.
Tomorrow my husband, my daughter, my mother and father in law and myself are headed “Up North” for our annual vacation. I live in Southeast Minnesota. We rent a cabin at a small family owned resort in a lake in Central Northern Minnesota, approximately an hour from the Canadian Border. The “boys” spend their days fishing and the “girls” hang out by the cabin and enjoy the relaxation.
This is a picture of my husband (right) and my father in law (left) with their catch.
So I thought I would turn this set of stickers by Paper House into a cute sign for our cabin and leave it there as a thank you gift to the resort owners. They are super sweet people who go out of their way to make our stay as comfortable as possible.

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.
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?

Hi Crafters, it’s Stacy from CraftaholicMomma today on the Scrapping for Less blog. I’ve been thoroughly enchanted by all the “slimline” cards people are making so I’ve been making a few myself. I told Teresa I had this idea to take all of the critters (aside from one or two) and make this mesmerizing under water magical scene. I think I could live under water if I had all of these beautiful creatures for neighbors.
You are going to LOVE this kit!! In fact I predict you’ll go bonkers for it!!
My card measures 3 1/2″ by 8 1/2″.
That’s a 7″ x 8 1/2″ piece of card stock scored at 3 1/2″ on the 7″ side. They fit in either a #9 or #10 (business) size envelope.

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.
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.
Today I have a card I made using a stamp set by Picket Fence called “I am a Mermaid”. I die cut the card with the Art Impressions Flip Card Die. 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.
Next I popped the two Pegasus’s up on mini Action Wobbles and added a sentiment to a strip of card stock. I cut the ends in a ribbon shape. Adding Nuvo Glitter Drops in White Blizzard and White Signo Gel Pen accents finished the card off nicely.
I hope you enjoyed all of the wonderful products featuring items in our Magical World monthly theme. We hope you love next month’s equally as much.
