Inspiration Wednesday with Dalis aka Stamprgrl and Pawsome Holiday!

 

Hello Krafty Friends!

It's INSPIRATIONAL WEDNESDAY,

the day we provide you with a bit of extra krafty inspiration

to help you get creative with your krafty stamps!

Hi everyone!  It's Dalis and this week we are featuring a stamp by artist Becky Pearce, Pawsome Holiday! This adorable set has two focal images and two fillers. It also has six absolutely amazing sentiments, that are sweet and witty.

I couldn't decide which of the two focal images to use, so I used them both! As you can see, I couldn't decide if this was a holiday or a Autumn card either. It is that time of the year, were the weather is telling us something but our hearts are telling us "BRING THE TREE OUT!" 

For the first card, I watercolored the puppy with C'arandache watercolor pencils and neon liquid acrylics. The stitching on the card grounds all the layers. I love a good busy background and the mix of this bold floral with the big-scale leaves is just a perfect way to mix-n-match your patterns.

For the second card, it was all about the puppies making this adorable Christmas tree shape. I wanted to keep the entire card almost 100% monochromatic even including the puppies. I made sure that every puppy had different markings to add even more interest to an already super cute image. Some wispy fibers, bling, stitching, and banners make this festive card just perfect for all those animal lovers in your life.

Don't forget to add little highlights with a white gel pen to your images, especially on the eyes, it brings a unique touch to them.

If Pawsome Holiday is not part of your collection yet, you might want to remedy that while it's on SALE this week.

Inspirational Wednesday - Gingerbread Kisses

       Hello Krafty Friends!

It's INSPIRATIONAL WEDNESDAY,

the day we provide you with a bit of extra krafty inspiration

to help you get creative with your krafty stamps!

Hi everyone!  It's Danielle and this week I'm excited 

to share a really adorable stamp set called

Gingerbread Kisses! 

This stamp set has been one of my go to

favorites for the holidays. The adorable

candy house looks so yummy and the 

gingerbread lass and lad and so sweet! 

Here are the cards I made to share with you this week.

This card came together super quickly. 

The background panel is a piece 

of white cardstock sprayed with

Cosmic Shimmer airless mister.

Then the colored image is layered 

over the top. I chose fun and bright 

colors for the candies on and around

the yummy gingerbread house. 

My favorite part of this stamp is 

the sweet little details on the roof 

edge and the curved window. 

And here’s another one

This is a mini slimline card 

(My favorite size to make)

That measures 3 3/4” x 6 1/2”. 

The gingerbread lass and lad were colored

on kraft paper with copic markers. 

I added a few sparkly and shiny extra details

 with gold and black gel pens and some Stickles glitter glue. 

I think that they are just too cute to eat! 

If you NEED this stamp set (you know you do!) 

it is 50% off this week only! 

If you get it now, you'll be making some adorable holiday cards just in time for Christmas cheer! 

Just sayin!! Happy shopping (big crafty enabler grin)

Inspirational Wednesday- Sweater Weather!

       Hello Krafty Friends!

It's INSPIRATIONAL WEDNESDAY,

the day we provide you with a bit of extra krafty inspiration

to help you get creative with your krafty stamps!

Hi everyone!  It's Karla and this week we are featuring the Sweater Weather stamp set, which you'll find on sale at 40% off all week! 

This cute wintery stamp set is perfect to create a scene with these adorable characters bundled up in their sweet sweaters! And I love the hot cocoa bar!! I coloured the images with Clickart Markers and used one layer of the Let It Snow stencil in the background with Opal Polish paste.

I used the Build A Snowman stencil which has an ice rink that perfectly fits the ice in this stamp, using Ocean Opulence ink. I added a layer of the Copper Pearl Opal Polish for a shimmery icy finish!

I stamped the sentiment with Whimsical Wisteria ink and  popped it up on the background, adding some cute Doodlebug Design stickers to match the fun paper! 

Make sure you head to the shop and add Sweater Weather while it's 40% off!! (while supplies last ;)
