Gumballs Goodie Bags

Hello everybody, welcome back to Crafty Time 4U! Today I am sharing with you an easy to make project using Lawn Fawn stamps and dies, and Copic Markers.

For this project I used the Goodie bag die, the "Sweet Smiles" stamp set and coordinated die, and some Copic Markers, available at the Marker POP store. 

It's almost summer time and that means, play dates, happiness, and fun times for the kiddos. I created these three goodie bags to give to my son, and to couple of his play mates. Kids love bubble gum and this cute Lawn Fawn set is perfect to create kid's theme projects.

Few week ago I tried the Copic dotted technique and today I tried my own, instead of dots I did lines, and I liked the result, it looks "cartoonish" and it's fun. I think is perfect for kids projects. let me know if you like it! Is very simple just trace tiny lines on the places that shading is meant to be.

Let's take a look and I will be telling you a little more about these goddie bags.

I cut the goodie bags using X-press IT Copic paper, and I stamped and colored the gumballs, using different colors of Copic Markers

As you can see, I removed the the middle part of the gumball machine so I could make a window, I used scissor for that, and then I used a punch to cut the window directly into the goodie bag.

In this picture you can see the lines of darker color that I applied over the image, for that I used a Copic Original Marker, because the fine tip works better for this technique.

The sentiments are also from the "Sweet Smiles" stamp set. I filled the bags with gumballs and they are ready for the kiddos!

Copic Makers that I used: B07, B06, R24, R27, R29, R96,RV17, RV15, RV04, YG07, YG06, Y15, Y17, Y19,

(also a white gel pen)

I hope you'll like these goodie bags so much that you will make some soon!

In my heart

Welcome back to Crafty Time 4U! Today I wanted to share a personal post with all of you, however, before I start, I want to let you know that, I am aware of the world's problems, and that everyone in the world have problems and pains that are by  far bigger and maybe sadder than mines. I lost my kitten of five through an kidney affection last week.
Cristiano was born in Oklahoma, from a barn mama cat. He loved to go outside and play, and even though, I rather kept him in the house, he was free to go in and out, except at night. He was the sweetest and mildest cat I ever had, I never hear him hiss in the almost five years, he spent with us, I thought he would do it, when we introduced him the puppy, one and half years ago, but he acted like not big deal.
I miss him terribly!
I respect all the people, who don't like animals, or who might think this is not that big of a deal, but this is the way I feel, I don't  have animals, I have pets, and they are a big part of my family and my life in general.
I created a card for this occasion, you can also use the inspiration for a friend who lost a pet or such.
I hope you'll like it and I also have few pictures of my kitten that I wanted to share with you. I am so glad I took hundreds of them, while he was with me. I will miss him and have him in my heart always.

This is one of his first photo sessions, he got used to pretty quickly! 

 This was one of his favorite places to take naps, right by the fire place.

I don't know why he hated flowers on the table, he did this every single time I put flowers on the table. (weird)

One of the many crazy things my little boy did to him!

This is the card I created, inspired on my dear kitten.

I am sharing with you a very simple shaker card using the new "Fintastic Friends" stamp set by Lawn Fawn. I love this cute and sweet set full of adorable little images, which you could fill with color!

This is a Father's Day card so, I wanted the focus to be on the Fish daddy and fish kid, however, there are many little images on this set, that you could add to the inside of the fish tank. I also wanted to keep the card as simple as possible, since is a sort of a masculine card.
