Hello, Kraftie Friends!

Welcome to Club Scrap May Artist Team Challenge Blog Hop!
If you came from Club Scrap's Blog (Karen's post), you're in the right place!
Your next stop will be Debbie's Blog!

Our May Challenge is a “Mash up” of Club Scrap Collections...to create projects while combining papers, stamps or other elements from AT LEAST two different Club Scrap Collections!

My first project is a 12" x 12" scrapbook page:


I used Cherry Blossoms, Sunflowers and Dahlia Collections.
I tore the Sunflower printed paper and adhered it on plain cardstock.
I layered different Embellishment Cutaparts and printed papers that I tore or die cut.
There's also a stamped scrap from another project: I stamped Dahlia with VersaMark, heat embossed in clear and blended some colors.

I cut some flowers (silver paper from Cherry Blossoms Collection) with Flower Market CTMH/Cricut Cartridge, layered them and added a Sunflowers Sparkle Sticker in the centers...and some more around the page:


Challenge:
1. ScrapOurStash May Tic-Tac-Toe Stash Challenge (Journal Card/The Color Yellow/3+ PP)


I used elements from Club Scrap Bugs, Hydrangeas, Paris Flea Market, Postcards from Paris and Adirondacks Digital Kits.

1. Club Scrap May Card Sketch Challenge


2. Digitally Made #1: AGoes

Hello, Kraftie Friends!!!

Last week, I showed you how I stamped the edge of a card, using the masking technique (click HERE to see the post).

Today, I have a card with the same concept (stamping on the edge) with a little bit of cheating... =)


First, I "cheated" because I CASE-d this card...so, not my idea! If you go to The Flower Challenge #8 - CASE a DT Member - you can see which one I CASE-d...Shona's Card!

Second, I "cheated" because I didn't stamp the card and trimmed the edge...I trimmed the edge straight (almost 2 inches in), stamped flowers (Club Scrap Girlfriends unmounted stamps) on cardstock, trimmed them out and adhered them on the trimmed edge.
Well, before I arranged the flowers, I colored them with Spectrum Noir markers and added Dimensional Magic on some centers.
Then, I stamped, trimmed the sentiment (Club Scrap Adirondacks Greeting unmounted stamps) and adhered it on with foam tape.
Finally, I added some sequins.

Hello, Kraftie Friends!

Club Scrap has a May Technique Challenge: Stamping on the Edge linky party going on...this is my second card:


Not too different from the first one (click HERE to see see it)...
So, I stamped the border one time, made a mask and placed on top of it before stamping the second border image. I had to stamp 3 times with that stamp.
Trim the edge.
Then, I added the watercolored stripes and some black splatters:


I watercolored the "wander" stencil (Club Scrap Adirondacks), cut it out, and adhered it on card.
Then, I added the enamel dots.

Hello, Kraftie Friends!

Hope you had a great weekend!

Today is Mid-Month Inspiration at Creative With Stamps Challenge Blog!





I printed Magnolia Branch once with the sentiment (Ann's Garden Digital Set - Stamprints), trimmed a panel and added some washi tapes on card before adhering the panel on.
I colored the leaves with Spectrum Noir markers.
I printed a second Magnolia Branch image and cut out the flowers. I colored the flower center, shaped them for some dimension and adhered them on with foam tape.
Finally I added some enamel dots.

Challenges:
1. Inkspirational Challenge #134: Photo Inkspiration Shop Window


2. WordArtWed #282-#283: AGoes
3. Simon Says Wed: Going Dotty

My second card is not a lot different:


But I stamped the sentiment (CTMH) on the panel this time and colored the flowers with alcohol-based markers and watercolors.

Which version do you prefer? =)


Challenge:
1. House of Cards May Challenge: Add Sequins and/or Colors (colors)

Hello, Kraftie Friends!


I started by stamping icons and words (Planner Series: Get Your Craft On + Planner Series: Wedding + Planner Series: Coffee).
Then, I added some washi tapes and stickers (that were on sale at my LCS).

I stamped and die cut a flower (Thankful Stamp Set and Sweet Cuts - Thankful), colored it with alcohol-based markers and added some Dimensional Magic in the center before adding it on page.


Don't forget to join the May Inspiration Challenge - Anything Goes!

Hello, Kraftie Friends!

Club Scrap has a May Technique Challenge: Stamping on the Edge linky party going on...so I decided to make one card...


The easy way to stamp on the edge is using a border stamp (Club Scrap Sunflowers Collection)...so I stamped it once (about 0.5-1 inch off the edge of the card), masked it and stamped again (overlapping a bit).
Repeat until the edge is all stamped.I had to stamp 3 times, with the stamp I used.
Then, I watercolored stripes in blue and red, splattered some blue on card, added a stamped sentiment (SU!) and some red enamel dots.

Next week, I'll have a photo tutorial on how I made this card...and others...so check back!

Challenges:
1. Club Scrap May Technique Challenge: Stamping on the Edge
2. Double D May: Red, White & Blue Optional: Stars & Stripes

Hello, Kraftie Friends!!!

I have a confession to make...I'm a lazy crafter!!!
I thought I would share some cards that I made yesterday...

I'm so lazy that sometimes it's easier to find a card sketch and use it, instead of your own design...


I stamped the flowers and sentiments on a panel, distressed the edges and adhered it on card base.
I stamped a second flower and cut it out (you don't have to worry about masking, 'cause this one is gonna cover the overlaps).
I colored them with alcohol-based and Fabrico markers and inked the centers with a small ink pad.
I adhered the cut out flower on and added Dimensional Magic in the centers.


Challenges:
1. CAS(E) this Sketch #220


I didn't even had to think about the colors I wanted to use, 'cause I just used 2. Altenew May Inspiration Challenge colors and their stamps...
3. STAMPlorations May CAS Challenge: AGoes Optional Color Twist: Feminine Colors

4. Simon Says Wed: A Hint of Pink
5. Just Us Girls #392: Word Week - Mother


I wanted to use some patterned paper on this card, but I was too lazy to look for the right one...since the box of washi tapes was closer, I decided to use some instead...


To compensate my laziness...I did some monoprinting on this card, using the back of the die cut butterfly (watercolored with Ken Oliver's Color Burst and some Distress Stains)!!!
It's hard to see, but the butterfly has some pearlescent shine on...
I'll probably make a video on this...but since I'm too lazy...it will probably take me a couple of weeks to finish that! =)
Stamp and die are SU!
