Today the Lawnscaping Challenge FIT are having our monthly blog hop, sponsored by Ink Road online store. This month we are  inspired by the color orange.

For this card I used the "Happy Harvest" (wagon, crows, and pumpkins) and the "Thankful Mice" stamp and die sets by Lawn Fawn. I also used the largest of the "small stitched rectangles" and the second largest of the " Large stitched oval" die sets also by Lawn Fawn.

I also use paper from the 12x12 "Let's polka in the dark" collection by Lawn Fawn. I stamped and colored all the images with Copic Markers and I did pop them up with foam adhesive over the stitched oval, which I lightly shaded with distress inks. I adhered my panel directly over an orange card base. 

I hope you enjoyed this card and that you have fun and get inspired with this blog hop.

Holiday Card Featuring Mama Elephant and Pretty Pink Posh Sequins

Hello everybody, Today I'm at the Marker POP blog Today I am sharing with you a card featuring the new "Twinkle towns" stamp set by Mama elephant. I love making cards that have backgrounds with sequin's work, so I'm always on the look out for stamps and die sets that let me do that, so as soon I saw this set I thought that I needed it, in order to make this card. Let me show you the card and I'll briefly tell you how I make it. 

I didn't do a step by step tutorial, however it is the same process of another card that I made back in July, so I will link it HERE and there is a photo tutorial on that post.

First I cut the panel with a stitched rectangle die, then I cut the two circles, after that I stamped the Christmas bauble or ornament. You will need a circle die that is a little bit smaller than the stamp. I adhered the sequins directly on to the card base and then I adhered the die cut panel with foam adhesive. 

I used the Mama Elephant Creative Cuts "Twinkle towns" "Oh joy" die cut sentiment and the little bow from the Mama Elephant Creative Cuts Basic set, I cut them out of foil paper. The sequins that I used were Pretty Pink Posh Red Raspberry and Metallic Gold in cupped 6mm and.

I hope you enjoyed this very simple card, you can try any combination of sequins, or try to make patterns. I promise you it's very simple to glue the sequins using a quick stick or any other sticky tip tool, you can do that while you watch your favorite TV show or talk over the phone.

Birthday Wishes Featuring Sunny Studio Stamps

Hello everybody, welcome back to Crafty Time 4U! This week at the Sunny Studio Stamps blog, we are introducing the "Birthday Smiles" stamp set, so I created this birthday card which was very simple to make, so I hope you will give it a try!

Let me show you the card and tell you a little bit more about it.

I created a watercolor wash for the background  using similar colors as those that I used for the scoops of ice cream.  I stamped the sentiment on to the left bottom corner of the right--These nice and bold sentiments can be stamped directly on the card panel (I love that).  I stamped and colored the cone and the scoops of ice cream using Copic Markers. I fussy cut the images and I popped them up on the right side of the card, on top of the watercolor wash. 

To finish the card I added a cherry from the "Birthday smiles" stamp set and some random sequins, picking up the colors of the card.

While I had my supplies out on my desk I created another quick card using the same cherry stamp from the set along with the fishtail banner dies to create a pennant for my heat embossed sentiment.

The adorable stamp set used for both of today's cards is available at the Sunny Studio Stamps shop, and it's a most have to create cute and fun card for birthdays or just to simply send a happy message.

Don't forget to tag your projects on social media using the #SunnyStudioStamps so you can be featured on our Sunny Saturday Share. Have a lovely day!

Quick Halloween Cards Featuring Lawn Fawn

Hello everybody! welcome back to Crafty Time 4U, I hope you had a fantastic weekend full of crafting fun! Today I am sharing with you some quick Halloween inspiration at the Lawnscaping Challenge blog. Halloween is around the corner, so I decide to come out with something that would be quick and easy to do, so if you don't have time or need some last minute cards, this inspiration is for you. Also if you haven't enter our current Lawnscaping Challenge, "Too Cute to Spook" sponsored by Lawn Fawn, you can do so HERE

I cut some 4 7/8 by 3 1/2 note cards out some white cardstock and I added a piece of Lawn Fawn "Let's Polka in the dark" petite patterned paper to cover the whole front of the note card. Then I used the small "stitched party banners" die to cut a banner out of white cardstock. I created a pattern by stamping some of the little images from the "Spooktacular" and "critters in costume" stamp sets. I colored the little patterns using Copic Markers.

              

I stamped and diecut the cat, and the bunny in the pumpkin from critters in costume, and the bat from "Spooktacular" along with couple more bats from the "trick or treat" mini set, and I poped them with foam adhesive. Then I stamp and embossed the sentiments, and finally added some twine to the top of the banner and I tied a bow.

Have a Mice Christmas, Featuring Mama Elephat

Hello everybody welcome back to the Crafty Time 4U!

 For the background I used a brick stencil from My Favorite Things and I randomly inked some spots using Fire Brick distress ink. I created the window using the My Favorite Things Blueprints No.20, and I used a snow stencil for the outside background with some embossing paste. For the sky background I used "Salty Ocean" and "Chipped Sapphire" distress inks. The cut the snow cape mountains from craft card stock and the snowy tips from white card stock.

I stamped and colored all the images using Copic Markers, some of them I die cut using the coordinated dies, and some others such as the lights I fussy cut. The two little presents are from the "Reindeer Games" stamp set also by Mama Elephant. I arranged and adhered all the elements using some foam adhesive and liquid glue, I used white gel pen to add some detail to the mouse's pajamas and the tree, some glossy accents on the lights, and some Wink of Stella on the presents.

Lawnscaping Challenge No. 116 Too Cute to Spooke

Hello everybody! Welcome back to Crafty Time 4U! I hope you had a nice weekend!
Today we have a new Lawnscaping Challenge, and the theme is, "too cute to spook" sponsored by Lawn Fawn, so get your Halloween sets out or use some non-Halloween sets to create some spooky and sweet cards or other crafty projects and upload them to the Lawnsacapin challenge blog
To inspired you to enter the challenge I had created this card that I hope you'll like

 I created the background using Dusty Concord distress ink and the: "smooshing" background technique and I splattered some Black Soot distress ink. This is actually my second background because for some reason I smudged the black splatters in the first one and I almost did that on this one as well, even though I used my heat tool to dry them up. I had not idea what was happening because this is not the first time I use splatters of black. 

The Jack O' Lantern was actually an after thought as well since I thought the card need it a pop of a brighter color. The kitten, the hat, as well as the Jack O' Lantern

 are from the "Spooktacular"stamp set by Lawn Fawn

I hoped you enjoyed this card and that you got inspired to enter the challenge. Have a lovely week!

Polaroid Halloween Card Featuring Mama ELephant

Hello everybody, welcome back to Crafty Time 4U, today I'm at the Marker POP blog with with more Halloween inspiration. I made a card featuring the Mama Elephant "Bootastic" stamp set, which is one of my favorites for Halloween projects.

I wanted to created the impression that the girl with the princess costume is getting photo bombed by the boy in the Frankenstein costume, so I draw the little open mouse on the girl, I hope you'll like the idea, let me show you and tell you a little bit more about it!

To created the Polaroid I blended a deep purple background using "Dusty Concord" and Chipped Sapphire" distress ink, and stamp the sky line form the "Central Park" stamp set, (you could used the "Cityscape" Creative cut by Mama Elephant instead of the stamp, I added it to the list of supplies just in case). 

I stamped, colored and die cut the images which I adhered to the blended background using liquid glue. Then I used the Mama Elephant creative cuts "Polaroid fun" to frame scene. I wanted the Polaroid to be the focal point of the card, so the background of the card is muted with some grey bats, on the white card-stock base.  

Finally, I heated embossed the sentiment using white embossing powder,and adhered the Polaroid to the front of the card. 

I hope you enjoyed this card and that you visit us again for more inspiration.
