Hello Crafty Friends!

Chala here for today’s prompt word Advent!

I must admit this post is a sad one for me as it is my last post as a Scrap’N Stamp Design Team member.  I am going to miss being a part of this fabulous group of ladies and creating with them each month.  I also cannot thank you enough for all your comments and support over the last several years  You guys have been a huge inspiration to me!!  I am not leaving the crafting world, just taking a step back in the commitments I have made.

You will still be able to find me over on my YouTube Channel Crafting Through the Chaos of Life.  In fact, that is where this blog post will take you as my final Design Team submission is a bit of an involved one and easiest to watch on video than to describe.

Some of the items I will be using today are older sets and may not be available, so it gives us a good reason to reach into our stash, blow off the dust and reimagine them for a new use!  I will also be using several digital prints in today’s card booklet.

Stamp and Die sets used/recommended:

Lawn Fawn Lift the Flap

Lawn Fawn Tiny Gingerbread

Lawn Fawn Oh-Snap

Lawn Fawn Tiny Christmas

Lawn Fawn Holiday Helpers

Picket Fence Paper Glaze Golden Rose

Again, I encourage you to look through your stash for items you may already have that you can use!

Without further adieu….below is the video link for my fun Advent Card Booklet!  Enjoy!               https://youtu.be/FmuQpDQxyWU           

 

Much love,

LAYERED STENCILS? YES OR NO?

It’s a HUGE YES from me!

Hi Everyone! It’s Susan here today with the Random Acts of Cardness word prompt of Layering Stencils. I’d never used layering stencils before which is why I chose the prompt. I wanted to challenge myself to use a new technique and be completely honest with you all about how I feel about them. I wanted to know if they were worth the money.

Yes they are!!!

I’m sharing three cards with you today and a video. All the details on how the stencils work and some tips on using them are over on the video. (I can’t seem to share it here).

Click HERE to watch it on YouTube.

I used the Pinkfresh Miss Your Smile Layering Stencils. They are a higher price point than regular stencils but it comes with 4 stencils. I admit I was unsure about them at first because of the price. I was wondering if I would use them very much and the answer is Yes, I’ll use them a LOT.  I made 5 cards on day 1 of playing with them and have ideas for more. I’ll be sharing the other 2 I made over on my blog soon.

 

 

Happy Stampin’
and thanks so much for visiting!
Stay safe everyone!!

Hi Everyone!
It’s Susan and I’m playing with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers today for the Random Acts of Cardness Challenge. I have two cards to share with you. the first one literally took just minutes to make.
I started with 3 different blue markers. I scribbled them onto a piece of Ranger watercolor card stock (first pic below) then sprayed it with some water (second pic). Next I used my heat tool to dry it. I continued with three purple markers, sprayed on some water then dried it with my heat tool. Next I scribbled a dark blue marker at the top, spritz it with more water then used a brush to blend it over the whole panel to darken it up.
      
To finish the card I stamped the Picket Fence  Capture Life in Color stamp with Versafine Nocturne ink. Because watercolor paper isn’t smooth I used my MISTI and stamped the image 3 or 4 times to get good coverage. I die cut the panel with the second large die in Lawn Fawns Stitched Rectangle Die set and added it to the card base with craft foam. I used a white Posca Paint Pen to add a few highlights.
The next card took a little longer to make. I stamped the three gnomes from Spellbinders Holiday Gnomes Stamp Set with Versafine Nocturne ink. I used my MISTI, stamped it a few times to get a solid image. I left the stamp in the MISTI so I could stamp it again after I finished coloring.  This next picture shows how I did the coloring. I chose two colors for the hat, added the darker one into the bottom corners and part way up and then a lighter color. You can see the two colors on the right side of the hat. Next I took a wet paint brush and pulled the two colors together and blended them further up the hat. I hope that makes sense.
I continued coloring all three gnomes using the technique I just described.
Once I colored in all the gnomes I used a dark and light gray to add some shading to the bottom. I used a light blue to add a little color to the background ( I scribbled the marker onto a block, spritzed it with some water and blended it onto the panel with a paint brush. I added a light gray around lower portion of the gnomes the same way I added the light blue.
Happy Stampin’
