Tuesday with Tara {take 403} Sunny Camper

Happy Tuesday!

Today I’m sharing a sweet & sunny little easel card that I made on Facebook Live last week!  If you joined me, thank you!  If you missed it and you want a little walk through on how to do make the card, you can catch the replay!

I just love this cute little Sunny Studio Camper stamp & coordinating die set!  I had the idea in my head to use it on an easel card but had to adapt my plan a bit when I realized how small the image is, soo…. I created a little scene on a circle I cut from Kraft card stock & paired it with a sunny sentiment.

I am not typically one who buys the matching stamp & die, but I love it when there’s sets like this that have a little bonus like the tree die!  For this card, I actually used another stamp & die set for the sentiment as well!  I used the Hello Sunshine set for the first time last year when we did our Sunflower blog hop, and it’s a really sweet little set with the die cut word and a variety of sentiments to mix & match with it.  It’s a really great price point (under $10!) and still available in the shop!

I colored up my image with Distress Watercolor Pencil Crayons (I know you’ve seen them a lot lately, but I’m working on learning how to best use these pretties!) and used Squeezed Lemonade Distress Ink stenciled on the background.

If you’ve never made an easel card before, I encourage you to watch the replay of my live class!  No hard feelings if you skip ahead to the assembly :). These little cuties are 4 1/4″ square and will fit in a standard A2 envelope.  I kept things really simple with 3D foam squares as my dimension to prop the easel up!

I hope you’re enjoying the summer sun & maybe some days away camping as well!  I look forward to seeing you back here on Friday for our August blog hop- it’s going to be fabulous!

Inky hugs,

Tara

Tuesday with Tara {take 396} Nailed It!

Happy Tuesday!   Today’s card is some simple krafty fun I shared with viewers of my Crafty Facebook Live on Saturday!  I showed the card I made for our Tongue-in-cheek blog hop and then made this similar card with the same stamp set by Sunny Studio, called Tool Time.

This little stamp set is perfect for guy cards with some clever puns, and the simple designs are fabulous for creating an easy background with repeat stamping.  For this card, I stamped on a Kraft card base in Ground Espresso Distress Ink.  I started with the largest image- the hammer, then filled in the empty spaces with “congrats” and the nail image.  The trick to these backgrounds is to rotate your designs so they fill in the space.  If you know a large part of the background will be covered up, as with the tag on this card, you can leave that part empty and focus on what the edges of your space will look like.

I used a pre-printed tag for this, to keep things simple and add some subtle texture.  You could absolutely create a subtle background yourself- and this might actually be a fun project to do just to have some on hand!  I played around with the layout of the text for my tag and added some die cut numbers I had from last week’s project, which worked out perfect since I used this as a graduation card as well!  I added some quick color with Distress Watercolor Pencils & finished off the tag with a bit of Glossy Accents on the hammer and some Rock Candy stickles (the stickles are discontinued, but you can still buy the mica glitter) on the numbers!

It’s simple fun, perfect for any guy who needs congratulating!  I hope you like it and I hope you enjoyed the live as well!  If you haven’t already, please check out our current HOP and drop us some comments to let us know you did (and have a chance to win a prize)!

Inky hugs,

Tara
