You'll Always Bee My Sunshine

Hello, Timothy here today sharing a sweet bee card.

I started with a light purple card base. I layered it with a piece of

yellow plaid paper. I stamped the sentiment You Are My Sunshine

directly on the pattern paper. I used a photo frame and backed it with

some flower pattern paper. I colored the Girl Bee On Swing and

glued her to the center of the frame. I used a white gel pen to 

add some sparkle to her wings. Lastly, as usual, I added enamel dots.

Stamps Used

You Are My Sunshine

Girl Bee On Swing

Thanks for swinging by and have a sweet day.

Funny T-Rex Dragon Card

I've always been fascinated by dinosaurs, and it's amazing we can theorize so much about their lives, given fossils and such.  Now, do we know for sure that a T-rex's arms were relatively short?  Yes, BUT--now hear me out--what if it had tentacle fingers or something that didn't survive the fossil record, and overall its arms were proportionally the same as its legs? Yikes!

When I saw the Dragon with Fire stamp, I immediately noticed its little arms and just had to pair it with the I'd Hug You sentiment.  LOL.  Too cute.  I stamped Grass Set of 2 with Catherine Pooler ink.  I used CP inks for the colorful sky as well. A strip of washi finished off the ground.

Summer Fairy Wishes

Hello, everyone!  Toni here and today's card commemorates summer--dandelion wishes, glorious sunsets (possibly sunrises but that's too early for me), and fireflies (aka fairies).

I used an oval mask along with Catherine Pooler inks to create a vibrant spotlight on the card front. Just imagine how many other color combos I could have used!  

Next, I stamped the Fairy Blowing Stars, Dandelion & Fluff Set of 2, and Grass Set of 2 with Versafine Clair Nocturne.  I had used my MISTI so I could repeat stamp if needed, but with these red rubber stamps, I was good to go.  I stamped the Make a Wish sentiment last.

I particularly love the parts of the silhouette that extend beyond the edges of the sponged spotlight, don't you?

Thanks for stopping by. I hope you have a great rest of your day!

Fairy Friendship Card

Hello, friends!  Toni here with you, sharing a friendship card featuring Fairy Godmother.

I started by trimming the hot-foiled card front down and adhering it to a pink base.

Next I stamped Fairy Godmother using Memento Tuxedo Black in my MISTI, leaving it there while I colored it up with Copics, then restamping with Versafine Clair Nocturne.

I used a scalloped circle die to cut her out then positioned her so that she's pointing toward the Fluff Your Tutu sentiment which I had embossed in black.  Fun, right?!

Cheeky April Fool's Day Card

Hello, everyone!  Toni here. April Fool's Day is upon us, and thus, I thought I would create a funny card with a bit of humor.

I die-cut my card front with a trail of stars, then stamped the Fairy Godfather Patrick image so that they emanated from his backside (yes, think farts--such a man joke).

The smile on his face is perfect for this--LOL.  I stamped the Leave a Little Sparkle sentiment with Versafine Clair Nocturne, then added a yellow glitter backer behind the stars before adhering the front to the card base.

Fairy Birthday to You!

Hi, everyone! Toni here with you today sharing a summer-inspired fairy birthday card that was really quick to work up although you wouldn't know it to look at it.

I started the card by sponging the front with a variety of bright inks then spattered that with water.  

Once it was dry I used Versafine Clair Nocturne along with Fairy, Dandelion & Fluff Set of 2, Branch Herb 2 and Fern to create a summer meadow scene. Notice the off stamping of the Fern to create depth?  I also used a white pigment pen to highlight the fairy and dandelion seeds in the front. 

On the interior of the card I stamped the Love & Happiness sentiment along with a smattering of butterflies from the Butterflies Solid Set of 2.

Triple Layer Winter Fairy Card

Hello and Welcome!  This is Shanna from Caffeinated Craftiness, and I am here with a new card to share today featuring stamps from Crackerbox Stamps! Ever want to just stamp??  I mean no coloring, no embossing--just ink--stamps--and paper!  This card is the result of that.

STAMPS USED:
Fairy Blowing Stars
Pine Branch
Snowflakes (set of three) *also available individually*

This card uses a triple-layer stamping technique. That means you take a set of three different pieces of cardstock and stamp them on each other prior to stamping. My layers were: 4" x 5.25", 3.25" x 4.5", 2.5" x 3.75"

I stamped all of the stamping while these three layers were centered on each other.  Then, I separated the layers and matted each with the following mats: 4.25 x 5.5", 3.5" x 4.75", 2.75" x 4"

All that was left was to adhere the layers to the mats and then on each other!  I love how simple this technique is once all the math is done! LOL. 

Thanks for stopping by, I hope you enjoyed today's project.  See you all again soon!

A Fairy Funny Snarky Card

Hello Stampers. Vicky is here today with a funny fairy card using some of our new release stamps! 

I stamped the Skeleton Dancing and the Don't Make Me saying.

I masked the skeleton's top part and Olesya's Butterfly's middle. Once I got the butterfly inked, I removed the mask and stamped it over the skeleton.

Did you get to the last stamp and almost mess up the card? I stamped the Wand Star Circle in yellow ink because of the stars. It was so light I could hardly see it. So I put Yellow Glitter Glue, and I couldn't see it. After the Glitter Glue dried, I used my Stamp-A-Ma-Jig and stamped the Wand in black.

Stamps Used:

Skeleton

Olesya's Butterfly

Wand Star Circle

Don't Make Me

or

Both Stamps Set: Don't Make Me and Wand Circle

Check out ALL of the new stamps!

Thanks for stopping by!

Harry Potter Stamps by Martha Lucia

Hello crafty friends, Martha Lucia here to share two of my cards created with the new Harry Potter stamps.

My first card is a card created with tons of dimension. First, I created the card base using white smooth cardstock. Then, I embossed a second layer with a 3D embossing folder and inked some of the raised parts with White Pigment ink.

In a separate piece of cardstock, I stamped the Glasses included on the set Glasses & Lightening Bolt using VersaMark Ink. I let the ink dry naturally before continuing with the process. Then, I stamped with VersaFine Clair Nocturne two of the stamps recently released. I used the Owl With Scroll and the sentiment Don't Let The Muggles. I covered the stamped images with clear embossing powder and melted it with the heat tool. 

As a final touch, I colored the Owl with Scroll image with colored pencils, resized the layer, and mat it with colored cardstock.

More Magic Cards

My next card is a clean and simple design. I didn't want to compete with the magic of these fantastic images.

First, I inked the top of a layer created with white smooth cardstock using distress ink. I let the ink dry naturally before stamping the Castle of Hogwarts. Then, I stamped the sentiment Way to Go to complete the design.

Thanks for stopping by, and if you want to see all the details about the products I used to create today's card, you can find them HERE in my STAMPARTPAPEL BLOG.

STAMPS USED:

Glasses & Lightening Bolt

Owl With Scroll

Don't Let The Muggles
