Makers Gonna Make

Welcome back crafty friends and happy Sunday! I hope you're all doing well and having a nice time and perhaps having some inky fingers too!

Today, I am back to share another Project Inspiration using CCC#135 Makers Gonna Make Digi Stamp. I had so much fun creating this card and most of all coloring those little pencils. This Digi Stamps is so fun and I believe you will have fun creating different things as well like tags, scrapbook layout, journals and most of cards to give away.

For this card, I couldn't pick just one color to make the pencil so I decided to go for a color pencil vibe. Aren't they so cute? I printed this cute pencils on a White Cardstock from Cardstockwarehouse and started coloring them one at a time.

To color this pencils, you can either use colored pencils, watercolor, alcohol markers or any medium of your choice. But for me, I used my favorite go to Arteza EverBlend Markers. As you can see, they are super vibrant and in person it looks like a real color pencils. After coloring each pencils, it's time to have some fun! I love fussy cutting and this one is super easy to cut. Then, when I'm done cutting them I added a little bit of sparkle using the Arteza Gel Pens and adhere a foam tape at the back of each pencils.

To assemble this card, I cut a piece of Recollections Kraft Cardstock and adhere the pencils one at a time until I am happy with it. After that, I cut a piece of Recollections Green Cardstock and added the sentiment I printed earlier then attached it in the front. To complete the set up, I added one more pencil beside the sentiment for a little compliment. To finish it off, I attached it to the card base and were done!

I hope you like what I created today and you'll give it a shot!

Cutie Fruity Lemon Spooky

Hi friends! Happy Thursday! I can't believe it's Thursday already. Days passed by so fast and in a few days it's Halloween already! Are you excited for the Halloween? 

So today,  I'm here to share another project inspiration that I created using the CCC #63 Digital Stamp Haunted Lemonade.

This is such a simple project, and anyone can make it. Come and follow along with my instructions!

First, I printed my image and sentiment on a White cardstock from Cardstock Warehouse. I really love their paper and the thickness and they have several kinds of papers to choose from.  

Then, I cut a piece of 4.25 by 5.5 inches Sparkle Mesh Fabric from my stash that I got from Dollar Tree. This will be used as my background and adhered it to my A2 card size panel. 

Next, is the fun part, coloring time! I love using my Arteza Ever Blend Markers as they are so easy to blend. I started with Tuscan Sun for the Lemonade. Then, I blended the Yellow Ochre and Tuscan Sun for the Straw. Next is the Honey Yellow and Bumble Bee Yellow for the Citrus Images, and finally a touch of  Arctic Blue for the Eyeballs.  

I also added Glacier Blue to add some shadow on the Mason Glass Jar Lemonade. Once done, I fussy cut it and added a double-sided tape at the back of my image and adhered it to the card panel. 

Finally, I added the sentiment on the right side and this card is finish.

As you can see in the picture below, I did not add anymore embellishments as the background has some sparkle already.

Here's another close up of the card with CCC #63 Digital Haunted Lemonade.

I hope you like what I made today, and were inspired to create your own.

You Bake Me Crazy

Hello Friends! Today, I am sharing this card I created using Oddball Stamps Digital Image CCC #113 Strawberry Fields. I saw a lot of images but this one caught my attention.

Let me give you some details on how I made this card.

First, I created a background using Distress Oxide Inks - Seedless Preserves, Worn Lipstick, and Fossilized Amber. I let it dry for a few minutes then, I spritz it with my Perfect Pearl Spray (just a combination of water and a little Perfect Pearl Powder White). This will add some shimmer in our background. It reacts to Distress Oxides as it is still not fully dried.

Next, I applied heat using a heat gun to speed up the drying process. You can avoid this step if you like and have it dried for a few hours or even overnight.

Then, I started coloring the image using my Arteza Ever Blend Markers. I used several markers to blend the colors and make it colorful and fun! I added some Studio Katia's Satin Rainbow Confetti as my sprinkles to the cupcake. It made me so hungry after I saw what I colored :)

To add some dimension on the strawberry and leaves I used Spectrum Noir Sparkle. Then, I adhered my card base to an A2 white card panel. After that, I cut some scrap papers, put them together and then glue to the back of my image and adhered to the base. These will serve an added dimension. You can also use double sided tape, but this method saves me money as well.

Finally, I added my sentiment on the side and this card is finished.
