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

A Beautiful Sparkling Spring Rose - Joy Clair Designs

Hi friends, Marj here! I'm glad you're here. Today, I'll be sharing another card using the beautiful Spring Rose from the Ray Of Sunshine Collection of Joy Clair Designs. This is such a gorgeous stamp set and I love it so much!

Let's get started...

First, I started resizing my digital stamp. I find it easy to use the word document in arranging the digital stamp the way I want it. After that, I started printing it on white heavy cardstock. Then, I started coloring using my ultimate favorite alcohol marker, Arteza Ever Blend. To make it more beautiful, I added some sparkle using Spectrum Noir Berry Sparkle. It is so hard to see it but it is beautiful with some sparkle.

Once done, I fussy cut and left a little white border as always. I normally do that to make it pop although it is really not necessary. No questions ask it is super gorgeous!!! Then, I started working on my background using Martha Stewart Adhesive laser Cut Stencil. I applied and combined Tim Holtz Rangers Distress Oxides Cracked Pistachio, Evergreen Bough, and Pine Needles. Honestly, I love how the combination turned out.

Let's assemble the card...

I used an A2 card size as my base, then adhered the background using a strong double-sided adhesive from Scrapbook.com. Then, added the rose in the center. For my sentiment, I used You Make Me Proud from the You Make Me Proud Digital Stamps. This is also part of the Ray of Sunshine Collections. I die cut the word Proud on gray cardstock using my Cricut. I stack 5 die cuts for some dimension. Then, I handwrite the You Make Me for some added interest. To finish it off, I added a few Rhinestones.

You will definitely love the whole collection so, I suggest getting it as everything on it are so beautiful. Don't forget to visit Joy Clair Designs.

Thank you for stopping by and I hope you learn a thing or two and were inspired.
