Lawnscaping Challenge FIT Blog Hop Inspired by the Color Violet

Hello everybody, welcome back to Crafty Time 4U, I hope you had a wonderful time with your family yesterday on Thanksgiving. If you didn't celebrate it, I still hope you had nice day! Today we the Lawnscapin Challenge FIT are having our monthly blog hop sponsor by the "Ink Road Online Store." This month blog hop is inspired the color violet. Let me show you the card that I made and I'll will be telling you a little bit more about it. 

For this card I used the "Baaah humbug" and the "Banerific" stamp sets by Lawn Fawn. I created a violet background using Distress Inks and I splattered some white liquid enamel over the blended background. Then I die cut a snowy hill, which I sprinkled with some glitter embossing powder. 

I stamped and color the sheep with Copic Markers, and then I fill the white spaces with a snow marker to created the fleece appearance. I also used Copic Markers to color the banner, and heat embossed the sentiment. I adhered the card panel to a violet card base, using a tape runner adhesive and add the purple mistletoe die cut. 

I hope you enjoyed this card and the rest of the blog hop you could win a $25 gift certificate to the Ink Road Store. If you started here, below is the whole line up:

Have a Cozy Christmas Featuring Newton's Nook

Welcome back to Crafty Time 4U, I hope your week was great. Today I am at the Marker POP blog sharing some Christmas inspiration featuring Newton's Nook "Nap time" stamp and coordinated die set, I also use elements from other brands, which I will list blow, however the main focus of my card is Newton sleeping on the blankets on Christmas night. Let me show you the card and I will be telling you a little bit more about it

I blended a night sky background using Salty Ocean and chipped Sapphire Distress inks and I used and stencil to add some snow. Then I cut the window using the "Dienamics Blueprints No.20" and I also place some a stitched snow hill on the out side of the window. The lights hanging form the window are from the "Baa h Humbug" stamp and coordinated die by Lawn Fawn, and the silhouette of the Santa's sled and reindeer are from the "Ready set snow" stamp set.   

 I colored Newton and the blankets, and the the Christmas lights using Copic Markers and added some details with a white gel pen and glossy accents. I stamped the sentiment ditectly on the card panel from the "Cozy Christmas" stamp set by Lawn Fawn, and I adhered the card panel to the card base using foam adhesive. 

I hoped you enjoyed this card and that you got some inspiration for your Christmas and holiday projects.

Have a lovely day!

Lawnscaping Challenge, One Layer Cards

Hello everybody, welcome back to Crafty Time 4U, I hope you had a great weekend! Today I'm over the Lawnscaping Challenge blog, we are currently having our Lawnscaping Challenge No. 114 "One Layer Cards", sponsored by Lawn Fawn. If you haven't enter it, you can do it HERE
To inspire you to participate, I had created couple of one layer cards, one for fall and one for Christmas. One layers cards are great for mailing, and also can be quickly made. So here are the cards that I made, I hope you'll enjoy them and enter this challenge, I can't wait to see all your creations

 For this card I sued the "into the woods" the leaves were from the "Happy harvest" and the banner from "bannerific" stamp sets by Lawn Fawn. I used a little bit of masking and I finished the card with some 4mm sequins. 

For this card I got inspired on a card that I made back in July, however it wasn't a one layer card nor a Christmas card, but the idea came from that card you can see the card here. For this card I used the "Baaah Humbug" stamp set, some masking, and some subtle ink blending. I used the stitched borders to emboss some decorative border along the left and bottom sides of the card, and finished with some sequins.

Masking is a great way to add dimensions to a one layer card. you can do a lot more complex masking, or you could make simple fast cards to send easily over the mail, the possibilities are endless. 

I hoped you enjoyed these cards and that you give them a try, have a wonderful week!
