Not 2 Shabby Spring is in the Air

Hello! Today I am featuring this adorable new stamp set from Not 2 Shabby called Spring is in the Air.

I just loved coloring these images and there is nothing sweeter than this chick and bunny. I used my Copic markers to color these images and did a little ink blending for the background using Distress Oxide in Squeezed Lemonade. For the sentiment I used Birch Press hello die and cut it out with some glitter foam from Queen & Co.

Jamie, over at the Not 2 Shabby shop, has just released her spring/summer collection and has it at a discounted price if you get the bundle. Don’t forget to use coupon code CRAZYPAPERCHICK to save 10%. Supplies are listed below.

Thank you to all that entered!

Hello Crafty Friends!

Today I have the pleasure of participating in Spellbinders March Clubs Blog Hop. I created a card using the March Card Kit of the Month, Feeling Hoppy. Spellbinders kits are jammed packed with adorable goodies, and this month was no exception. It is full of sweet Easter and spring themed items for your card making needs. You can find their kits here.

Now, if you watch my 5 or 10 card videos each month showcasing the current Spellbinders card kit, you know that I have an obsession with ephemera. The Spellbinders kits are full of glorious ephemera and I just can’t help myself, and typically make all my cards with the ephemera. For today’s card I thought I would incorporate more of the stamp set (and a couple ephemera pieces – I just couldn’t help myself!). To see how I created this card, you can check out the video below, but don’t forget to hop along to win!

Scrapping for Less | November 2019 Flavor of the Month Card Kit | A Vintage Christmas

November 29, 2019March 15, 2020 Alicia Havranek

Hello! I am guest designing this month for Scrapping for Less and I am happy to show you the November Flavor of the Month card kit, A Vintage Christmas.

Below are two pictures of two varieties of the kit you can choose from. There is the Banana Split and Double Dip Sundae.

Today I am showcasing the Banana Split kit. I made 5 cards using many elements that came in the kit. Although I just made 5 cards, the kit has plenty to make many more.

The first card I made using these adorable bell stamps from Scrapping for Less. So easy to color and they make a nice focal point on your card.

20191125_230822

I’m all about ephemera, so for my second card I had to use the ephemera pieces that came in the kit. I used the largest button and accented it with some red twine from the kit.

20191126_144407

For my third card I used the stamp set from Sunny Studio. I colored the house to coordinate with the colors on the pattern paper.

20191125_230815

On my fourth card I used the Noel die. To get this die in your kit, you will need to order the banana split option. I cut it out from gold mirror card stock from my stash to make it pop and paired it with the lovely pattern paper in the kit! It is a really pretty die!

20191125_230828

Finally, my favorite card was made using this sweet little Santa stamp from Your Next Stamp. This Santa was an awesome image to color.
