Snowboarding Yeti's in the Fun Park

craftycrowdesigns5 Comments

Hi everyone! I hope you had a wonderful Christmas. Today I’m sharing a new card with the Yeti Or Not stamp set from Lawn Fawn. I recently bought the Stitched Mountain borders and I could not wait to create a snowboard card.

First I stamped all the images on Perfect Colouring paper with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. Then I colored them with my copic markers:

  • Trees: YG13, YG17, YG67, E55, E57
  • Teal accessories: BG10, BG11, BG13
  • Purple accessories: V01, V05, V09
  • Yeti’s: W0, W2, W4

After all the images were colored, I die cut them with the coordinating dies. The mountains I die cut out of Mermaid cardstock. The tops of the mountains and the snow banks I die cut out of glitter cardstock.

As one of the yeti’s fell in the snow, I also die cut a small slit with the Sandy Beach Accents in one of the snow banks. To create the sky, I ink blended Distress Oxide Peacock Feathers and Wilted Violet on white cardstock. To create a nice shimmering sky, I splattered Liquid Stardust on the background.

After putting the card together, I did some final touches by adding liquid stardust with a paintbrush on the snowboard accessories. To give it a nice glossy finish, I also added Glossy Accents to the glasses and scarf.

I hope you like this card and it gave you inspiration. Thanks for stopping by and see you next time!

Lawn Fawn Gingerbread House

craftycrowdesigns4 Comments

Hi everyone! Today I’m sharing 2 Christmas cards with gingerbread houses. These have been created with the Build-A-House die from Lawn Fawn. The design is the same, but thanks to the different color scheme they look like totally different cards.

For the card making process check out my video below or hop over to my channel. If you like watching my video’s, do not forget to subscribe.

For both houses I used Desert Storm cardstock from Neenah for the base. This cardstock already has a nice gingerbread look which I highlighted even more by adding splatters with white acrylic paint and Distress Ink Vintage Photo. For the red house, I chose red cardstock I still had in my stash. For the teal colored house, I chose Mermaid cardstock from Lawn Fawn. From these cardstocks I die cut al the elements with the Build-A-House die and the Christmas Add-On.

After assembling the houses, I first got started on the backgrounds before adding the frosting elements. For the backgrounds I used pattern paper from the Snow Day Remix and Spiffy Speckles paper pack. The speckled background for the red house I made myself by splattering Distress Oxide ink Candied Apple on white cardstock.

To create the sentiment, I stamped Merry Christmas on a wavy banner with VersaMark ink. I then heat embossed the white embossing powder. After adhering the houses on the backgrounds I could get started on all the detailed elements. To create the frosting, I used Nuvo Drops Gloss White. For the small teal and red elements such as the hearts and lights, I put Wink of Stella and Glossy Accents on top to give it a nice shine. And that finishes of the cards!

I hope you like these card and it gave you inspiration. Thanks for stopping by and see you next time!

Mistletoe Kisses – Jocelijne Design

craftycrowdesignsLeave a comment

Hoi allemaal! Nog een laatste kerst kaartje van mij voor dit jaar! En tevens mijn laatste kaartje als gast designer. Jocelijne zelf heeft vorige week een super leuk ornamentje gemaakt voor in de kerstboom. Deze heb ik als inspiratie gebruikt voor het kaartje van vandaag.

Als eerste maakte ik de twee sneeuwpoppen met behulp van de ‘Tumble Friends’ (6002/1179) set. Voor het maken van de sjaals heb ik de Santa Claus (6002/1329) set gebruikt. Om de sneeuwpoppen meer tot leven te laten komen, heb ik op bepaalde plekken highlights aangebracht met een gel pen. Voor de marretak heb ik de ‘Jingle Ornamenten’ (6002/1330) set gebruikt. Op de strik en de bessen heb ik Glossy Accents aangebracht.

Voor de achtergrond van de kaart heb ik Distress Oxide Ink Mowed Lawn en Twisted Citron geblend op wit papier. Om het wat extra’s te geven, heb ik met een penceel en goude waterverf spetters gemaakt op de achtergrond. Om de kaart te framen, gebruikte ik het marretak papier van de Snow Day Remix van Lawn Fawn.

Ik hoop dat je dit kaartje leuk vind en ik wens jullie allemaal fijne feestdagen!

Flower Power – Jocelijne Design

Hoi allemaal! Vandaag een nieuw kaartje met Jocelijne Design! De laatste release is deze super toffe Hippy Van (6002/13650) stans waar ik het kaartje van vandaag mee heb gemaakt.

Als eerste ging ik aan de slag met de bus zelf. Deze stanste ik uit Spring Fling papier van Lawn Fawn. Om de ruiten er als glas uit te laten zien, heb ik acetaat over geel papier aangebracht en dat als de ruiten gebruikt. Om de koplampen te laten schijnen, heb ik er Glossy Accents over heen gedaan.

Voor de andere decoratie elementen zoals de muzieknoten, bloemen, en bril, heb ik ook het Spring Fling papier gebruikt. Op de glazen van de bril heb ik ook Glossy Accents aangebracht. Als achtergrond heb ik geel papier gekozen en uitgestanst met de Polka Dot stans van Lawn Fawn. Om het flower power effect nog meer te versterken heb ik voor een bloemetjes rand gekozen die ik heb gestanst met de Stitched Scalloped Frames van Lawn Fawn. Als laatste voegde ik de tekst ‘You’re the best’ toe op een Fancy Wavy Banner.

Ik hoop dat je dit kaartje leuk vind en het je inspiratie heeft gegeven voor deze leuke stans!

A Frosty Happy Birthday

craftycrowdesignsLeave a comment

Hi everyone! Today I’m sharing 2 similar Happy Birthday cards with the cute Snow Angels from Mama Elephant.

For both of the cards, I die cut the Happy Birthday out of Neenah cardstock. For the background of the card with the bears, I used Distress Oxide Tumbled Glass and Mermaid Lagoon. For the other one I used Mermaid Lagoon and Peacock Feathers. To create the effect of snow, I diluted white acrylic paint and made splatters on the background. To create shimmer spots, I also sprayed shimmer spray through the snow day stencil.

While the backgrounds were drying, I stamped all the images on Perfect Colouring paper and colored them with my copic markers:

  • Polar bears: YR20, YR21, YR000, YR01 , E50, E51, E53, B93, B95, B97, B00
  • Cat and fox: YR20, YR21, YR24, YR27, YR000, YR01, YR02, BG72, BG75, BG78

After coloring. I first adhered the Happy Birthday to the background and decided where I wanted my images to go. Then on those spots, I stamped the snow angels with VersaMark ink and heat embossed it with white embossing powder. To create the magical sparkle look of snow, I put Glossy Accents on the snow angels and Happy Birthday and tipped Prisma Glitter on top. Once that was dry, I adhered my images with foam squares. As a final touch, I added Stickles Frosted Lace to the scarfs and hat.

I hope you like these cards and it gave you inspiration. Thanks for stopping by and see you next time!

A Merry Meowy Christmas!

craftycrowdesignsLeave a comment

Hi everyone! When I saw the cute stack of snow cats I just had to have these sets! The one on the left is from the limited Stamptember 2019 edition, and the one on the right is from the Snow Friends stamp set from Mama Elephant which is still available!

First I started with the background as that had to dry . First I ink blended Distress Oxide Tumbled Glass over the Geo Snowflake stencil from SugarPea Designs which is an absolute favorite of mine! Then to make it really sparkling, I put Nuvo Glimmer paste moonstone over top. The result was this beautiful icy looking background.

While the background was drying, I stamped all the images from the Mama Elephant Snow Friends on Perfect Colouring paper and colored them with my copic markers:

  • Scarfs: BG13, BG15, BG18, BG72, BG75, BG78
  • Tabby cats: YR20, YR21, YR24
  • Cool grey cats: C0, C1, C3
  • Warm grey cats: W0, W2, W4

To create the snowbank, I die cut white cardstock with the Stiched Hillside die and adhered it to the background with foam tape. To frame the card, I used Mermaid carstock from which I also die cut a little heart to go with the sentiment. The sentiment itself I stamped with Tumbled Glass and Versamark ink since I wanted to heat emboss it with clear embossing powder. This gives a beautiful shine to the sentiment and adds a lot to the frosty scene. For some final touches, I added Stickles Stardust to the scarfs and little heart, and topped it of with Glossy Accents.

I hope you like this card and it gave you inspiration. Thanks for stopping by and see you next time!

A Monster Birthday with a Freebie from Create A Smile Stamps

craftycrowdesigns10 Comments

Hi everyone! Did you know Create A Smile stamps has these awesome freebies? In the card of today I wanted to feature the quirky monster freebie.

First I downloaded the freebies and adjusted it to the size I wanted and printed them out. Then I colored the monster with my copic markers:

  • Body: BV00, BV02, BV04, B00, BG02, BG05
  • Hair: V01, V02, V09
  • Feet: C00, C01, C03, C05

After the coloring, I fussy cut the images. For the background I stamped the Abstract Triangles with Distress Oxide Ink Wilted Violet and Mermaid Lagoon. I found these colors matched perfectly with the copic markers I chose. For the blue strip on the right, I ink blended Mermaid Lagoon on white cardstock.

As I wanted to ground the monster, I also die cut a hill with the Stitched Hillside border die out of white cardstock. The hill I adhered to the background with scor tape. For the monster and speach bubble I wanted to have more dimension so I adhered them with foam squares.

As a finishing touch, I added a couple of gems to the background. And that finishes of my card! I hope you like it and it gave you inspiration. Thank you for stopping by and see you next time!
