    • Pink & Main ~ Happy Camper ~ I love you, S’more!

      Hello there crafty friends! Crystal from Tawny Owl Paperie here with another look at the Happy Camper stamp set by Pink & Main. I’ve paired this adorable set again with the wonderful Galaxy Foil papers also by Pink & Main.

      I can’t get enough of these Galaxy Foil papers!! They just make a card so quick and easy and those shiny stars are so much fun! Today, my design also includes a fun Campfire Sticker by Jolees… isn’t that fun?! It’s a pretty big sticker and I struggled a bit with what to do with it, but I think it makes for a fun card with this bear holding marshmallows getting ready to make some s’mores. It’s hard to tell in the picture but his little marshmallow on top is actually on fire… which I imagine with this huge campfire it would be!! I used the following Copic markers for the bear ~ E000, E33, E35, E37, YR15, R20, BG11, BG13, B95, B97

      You can see some of the glittery goodness in the fire with this picture. 

      To finish off the card, I popped up the bear and the sentiment that was stamped with VersaMark watermark ink on black card stock and heat embossed an ultra fine white embossing powder.

      Hope you enjoyed my card for today… but hold on, I have a bonus card!!

      When I had created my card earlier this month using the Hootiful stamp set by Heffy Doodle… you can check out that card here —> Hootiful For You-Hoo card…  I had stamped and colored a few extra images so I thought I’d use those for this super quick card. All I did for this card was blend some Chipped Sapphire distress ink directly on my white card base. I started blending in the center and worked my way out giving a nice fade to the color. Such a quick card and one that I can send a friend to wish them a hootiful day!!

      Now that’s all for me today! I sure hope you liked my cards!

      Thanks so much for stopping by! See ya next time.

      Inky Hugs,

      Crystal

    • 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

    • Lawn Fawn ~ Lovable Legends 3 Ways

      Posted at 9:00 am by Crystal O. Minkler

      Hey there crafty friends!

      Crystal here with a trio of cards using Lawn Fawn’s Lovable Legends stamp set! I thought it might be fun to share a trio of cards starting with a simple design and then building from that design to a slightly more involved card design.

      My first card started with a simple stenciled background using the Echo Park Good Vibes Stripe stencil along with the Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide ink that I blended over the stencil. Once my background was done, I die cut it with a wonky rectangle die. I then cut a 1″ strip of the beautiful Watercolor Foil paper from Pink & Main and fussy cut the little flag end on one side. I adhered it to the panel and then trimmed off the excess. 

      I stamped the super cute sentiment directly on the panel and then adhered the entire panel to a white card base. I stamped the bigfoot character three times and decided for my card design… he’d be a cute yeti so I colored him very simply with the following Copic markers ~ N0, N1, N2, B0000, B00, Colorless Blender. I fussy cut my cute yeti and popped him up on the card.

      So that is my first card design… pretty simple, right?! But still adorable!!

      For my next card, to add a little somethin’ somethin’ and bring it up a step from simple,  I decided to blend the background using distress oxide inks. I used Tumbled Glass, Stormy Sky, and Salty Ocean Distress Oxide ink. I then blended Tumbled Glass distress oxide ink over the same Good Vibes Stripe stencil that I used on the first card. I love the subtle stripes it made on the background! I die cut the panel with the same wonky rectangle die and adhered it directly on a white card base. I adhered a strip of the Watercolor Foil paper just like the first card, but this time I stamped the sentiments on scraps of white card stock. I used a banner die to cut out the ‘Have An’ sentiment and fussy cut the ‘Unbelievable Birthday’. I adhered both sentiments directly to the card. I popped up the cute yeti and to finish off this card I added a couple of trees that I stamped from the same set using green inks in my stash. I love how the Watercolor Foil paper breaks up the strips of the background and the foil in the paper adds a pretty shine for interest.

      Are you ready for the third and final card… ?!

      Whatcha think?! I’m a little partial to the background on this one because I love splatter!! I created the background the very same as the second card, but I added water and white acrylic paint splatters. I adhered the strip of  Watercolor Foil paper and the top sentiment directly to the card, but I popped up the bottom sentiment using foam tape. I adhered more trees to surround Mr. Yeti… huh, just decided to name him… LOL! I also popped up the two trees on the far right. My final touch to finish this card was to add some random dots to the trees using a white gel pen… almost like snow falling on the trees from the splatter in the background.

      Here’s a picture showing all of the cards together. I had a bunch of fun making these cards to share with you… I hope that you’ve enjoyed seeing the different steps in adding interest and dimension to the cards! I hope this inspires you to try different levels of cardmaking!!

      Thanks so much for stopping by!

      See ya next time.

      Inky Hugs,

      Crystal
