For today's card I used the Sunny Studio Stamp set "Santa's helpers" you know I love dogs and cats and this set is so special to me because it has some adorable festive puppies and kittens, although I didn't use the puppies for my card you will see me using them soon! 

I used the "merry & bright script dies that come in the "Santa's helpers" coordinated die set to create the sentiment for this card. I stamped and colored the kittens using Copic Markers and added some details with a white gel pen, and I added glossy accents on the lights around the cream cat.

Inky Paws Challenge No. 22 Birthday Card

Hello everybody, welcome back to Crafty Time 4U! I hope you had a great weekend, and that you are ready for a crafty week. Today I'm sharing with you my entry to the Newton's Nook Inky Paws Challenge No. 22. It's been a while since I entered this challenge, personally one of my favorites challenges to participate in. I also want to enter this card to the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge, which is about furry friends.

This time the "Inky Pawns Challenge" it's about birthday celebration. I created a one layer card using lots of masking, I think masking is fun, when I don't have dies I rather use masking than fussy cutting pieces, it's just a personal preference.
Let's take a look at the card and I will tell you a little bit more 

I used two different Newton's Nook sets to create this card, I like to mix sets and have fun, I just love this kitten! Masking and blending is fun so I encourage you try. I used Wink of Stella clear glitter brush pen and glossy accents in the heart of Newton's sweater, on the dots of the birthday hat, and on the clouds. And I used Copic Markers to color all the images. The birthday hat Newton is wearing is from the "Hats off you" stamp set by Lawn Fawn

I hoped you you'll like this card, These are the two sets that I used, and they are linked for your convenience

Colorful Saturday, Patriotic Treats

Hello everybody! Welcome back to Crafty Time 4U, I have been absence from my blog this week because, I was doing some little updates to my craft room, and it was impossible to craft in there, as I had to pulled everything out and changed tables and desks, and also new shelving on my closets, so total chaos. So I apologize for the lack of posts!

Today I'm at the Marker POP blog with a super fun project, I had lots of fun creating these treats, so I hope you'll enjoy them, I will tell you more as I show you the pictures. All supplies are listed and linked bellow.

I created these Patriotic Mini Milk Cartons, they are perfect for 4th of July treats.  

I cut the milk cartons using red cardstock and I stamped and heat embossed the smaller sparkle images from the "Happy 4th" Stamp set by Lawn Fawn, I used some glittery embossing powder. 

I created the piece of grass using "Distress Inks" and the "Grassy border" die by Lawn Fawn. I stamped and heat embossed the sentiment on the grass piece, using white embossing powder.
I colored all my images using Copic markers and I added a little bit of Wink of Stella clear glitter brush pen (well not a little, actually a lot! LOL)

I stamped the tall hat from the "hats off you" stamp set, and I used a star from the "Plus One" set, however, the Lawn fawn sets are full of little stars that you could use for this. them I used a ruler and a Copic multiliner to trace lines.

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!
