Inspirational Wednesday - Stone Age Friends!

      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 we are featuring the Stone Age Friends! stamp set, as well as the Animal Adventure stencil, which you'll find on sale at... wait for it... 50% off all week! 

 

To make this card, I started with a 

panel of kraft cardstock and blended 

through the Animal Adventure stencil with 

Sandy Shores ink and then added

some Rich Rust for additional

shading and depth.  The die cut

sentiment has Creamy Caramel

and Rich Rust inks blended over it. 

I colored the sweet cave mama

and babe with copic markers. 

The boulders and grass patch are from

two older die cut sets that worked 

perfectly with this stamp and theme.

This year I made myself a goal

to use more of my older crafting

products and stash as much as 

possible. The large HUGS sentiment

is another of those older items.

In retrospect, I wish I had given the 

background a more fun color - like

the Ink of the Month, Raspberry Rose.

I might have to try a second card version

now and see what I like better, lol. 

I was having so much fun with these

products that I made a second card too!

I started with the same kraft background

but this time I sponged Creamy Caramel

ink all over it first.  Then I placed the 

Animal Adventure stencil over the top 

and blended Marvellous Mocha ink onto it. 

I colored the caveman with copic markers.

Isn't he handsome?

Here's a closer look at this handsome dude

The card front was so busy with all the

die cuts used for the scene that I decided

to leave a sentiment off and put it on

the inside instead.  

 

I used the ink that was already still

on the stencil and just brushed over it

again to get the softer color.  

Such a fun sentiment too. 

Be sure you head to the shop and add Stone Age Friends! and Animal Adventure! to your cart while they're 50% off!! (while supplies last ;)

Inspirational Wednesday- Snail Mail!

      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 Snail Mail stamp set, as well as the Mountains of Mail stencil, which you'll find on sale at... wait for it... 50% off all week! 

I think Happy Mail is the best - especially snail mail! What's better than going to your mailbox to find a letter from a crafty friend?!! I'm trying to be better at getting those cards out into the mail! 

I stamped the cute doggy, mailbox and snail from the Snail Mail set and watercoloured them with Zebra Clickart Markers on Bristol Vellum cardstock and then popped them up to create a cute little scene. I used a postage die set to stamp my sentiment on - I love that there are lots of crafty sentiments in this set, perfect to add to your envelope too! We just got a new puppy, Coco, so I coloured this puppy up in similar colors. However, Coco would just eat the letter, so she won't be delivering the mail anytime soon!

I used the Mountains of Mail stencil over a pre-inked background using Tranquil Teal, Alluring Amethyst and Festive Fuchsia Krafty Kolours Inks.

Here's Coco!

Make sure you head to the shop and add Snail Mail and Mountains of Mail to your cart while they're 50% off!! (while supplies last ;)
