Stay Cute - Clever Dexter Challenge

Hi friends! I'm glad you're here today! It's the last 2 weeks of Clever Dexter Monthly Challenge. I hope you are enjoying every inspiration we made for the past couple of weeks.

Our Theme for this month's challenge over at Clever Dexter is the Favorite Technique and our sponsor is Oddball Art Co. I love the images from Oddball as they are super cute and at the same time creepy.

For my project today, I colored all the images using my got to favorite markers, the Arteza Ever Blend Markers. These markers are so easy to use, blendable, and very affordable.

Let's start...

The first thing I did is print all my images onto white cardstock using my Canon TS5320. I used the word document to print my images so I can put them all together in one go. Then, I colored them one at a time using my Arteza Ever Blend Markers. You probably know at this time that these are my favorite markers. I can't stress this enough because these markers are so easy to use.

Then, using American Crafts Extra Fine Tip Scissor I fussy cut the image one at a time. I love fussy cutting but I also love my Cricut machine. Who wouldn't love a Cricut Machine? After that, I cut a piece of patterned paper and added it to an A2 card size base. Finally, I arranged my images onto the front card and we are done!

This is such an easy project to make and easy to assemble. I hope you learn a thing or two and will try to create your own.

Don't forget to enter your project into our Monthly project and you might be our lucky winner of a $10 Gift Card from Oddball Art Co.

Thank you for stopping by and I'll see you again next time!

XOXO

You're So Sweet - Sweetie the Dragon by TLC Designs

Hi crafty peeps! I'm sharing a fun card using this sweet little creature from TLC Designs. Isn't she adorable and look at those little ice cream, candies, and cupcakes. That is super cute! For this card, I used the Sweetie the Dragon Stamp Set and it comes with 7 stamps.

Let's start... Using the We R Memory Keeper - Mini Guillotine Paper Cutter, I cut a piece of Patterned Paper from DCWV Confetti. It measures 4 x 5.25 inches and this will be my background. Then, I adhered the background panel to an A2 card size using double sided tape.

Next, with the help of my We R Memory Keepers - Precision Press Advanced I stamped the cute Dragon onto a piece of White Cardstock from Cardstockwarehouse using Scrapbook.com Black Hybrid Ink and started coloring using my Arteza Real Brush Pens. Then, I stamped as well the candies, ice cream, and cupcakes onto white cardstock and colored them using the Arteza Real Brush Pens.

Once done, I fussy cut them one at a time and added some foam tape at the back of each image. I added the Sweet Dragon first onto the front card and arrange accordingly the little candies, cupcakes, and ice cream.

Finally, I stamped the sentiment You're So Sweet using Tsukineko -Versamark Watermark Ink Pad then added some Gold Wow Embossing Powder. I used my heat tool to set the powder. Then, I added this to another piece of cardstock for some border. After that, I cut several strips of paper and adhered them to the back of the sentiment. Then, glued to the top front panel, and this card is done!

I hope you were inspired by my creation. Thank you for stopping by and I'll see you again next time!

XOXO

We Did It! - Oddball Stamps

Hi friends! I'm glad you're here. Today, I'm sharing a card that you can give to the graduates or even to students who are finishing this school year. I made it using several products from Oddball Art Co. I used CCC#135 Makers Gonna Make Digi Stamp, CCC April Members Exclusive Bunny Kisses 2021, and CCC # 17 Back to School.

For this card, I started printing all the digis and colored them using Arteza Ever Blend Markers and Colored pencils. I sometimes combined them to pop up the color.

Once done coloring, I fussy cut them and arranged them in the order I wanted to show on the card. Then, I used the press and seal to make sure when I add it to my card base it will be the same way as I arranged them.

Then, I started on my background. I love ink blending which some of my cards you see have ink blended background. I first cut white cardstock to 4x5.25 inches. Next, I started blending Carnival Pink, after that is Pink Lemonade, and last is Ballet Slipper.

All the ink are from Scrapbook.com. I used an ink blending tool to make sure to blend well and no streaks after each color.Then, I took some black paint and splatter it all over to make some dimension.

To assemble the card, I adhered the background to an A2 card base using double sided tape. Then, added all the images from the press and seal in one shot using some foam tape for dimension. For the sentiment, I wrote WE DID IT!

This is an appropriate way to Congratulate the students who made it even with what is going on right now. We are done!

I hope you like what I made today. Come and visit Oddball's Website to see some of the creepy and cute images. They also have amazing Ghoul Plans starting $2 a month.

Thank you for stopping by and I'll see you again next time.

XOXO
