Christmas Coffee Cup Card

The Christmas in July celebration at Scrapbook.com ends in just a couple days.  I wanted to share another card celebrating this event.  This card features watercoloring with my Altenew pan watercolor paints, paired with the "Hot Mess" background stamp at Unity Stamps.

First, let me share a couple key details on this project.  I stamped my background image on Strathmore watercolor paper, using Catherine Pooler Ink.  You'll find the product links at the end of this post.  Once I zapped with a craft heat tool to set the ink, I started watercoloring with a water brush.  I've used my white Signo gel pen to embellish and Kaisercraft glitter pens as well.

The stamp set is so large and has a blank space in the middle for stamping a sentiment, however, I decided to use some of my crafty stash to finish this off.  The chipboard sentiment is from Simple Stories and the polka dot background is from the Carta Bella Home Sweet Home collection.  These are older collections but I was so happy that they worked well with my project today.  It's always a bonus, to use things that have been sitting on the shelf too long, and give them new life!

Christmas In July Mixed Media Card

Hello friends, I'm so happy to be sharing this holiday mixed media card, for the huge Christmas in July event, going on now at Scrapbook.com!  My card features the Happy Holiday stamp set which is free on select days, with purchase.  It's only available for a limited time and while supplies last.  Scroll down for more details.

I love the size of this stamp.  It's 2.5"x 1.5" and stamps like a dream.  Please note, my stamping was done on watercolor paper and ink does tend to bleed a tiny bit, despite multiple inkings.  You'll find that it won't be a problem on regular cardstock.  Regardless, I love how it turned out!

To create my mixed media panel, I first did some ink smooshing on Strathmore watercolor paper, using Simon Hurley's Later Gator green ink.  Just press the ink on a craft mat, spritz with a bit of water and "smoosh" your watercolor paper into the mix.  I basically inked all four corners of my panel, leaving space in the middle for my sentiment. 

Next, I splattered white gesso all over my panel, using a damp toothbrush dipped in the mix.  You can also use white paint.  Just spray the toothbrush with your thumb.  It get's messy, so do this in a large box to protect your space.  I grabbed a paint brush and started painting circles all over in white, then mixed another shade of Simon Hurley ink into my white gesso and painted over the white circles.  Some glitter glue, sequins and a handmade jingle bell ribbon complete my embellishing.

Oh, I also used a Simon Hurley stencil to create the backdrop to my panel, using Stickles glitter glue and heating with craft heat tool.  It adds just the right amount of sparkle!

Ice Cream Cone Hand Drawn Card

Hello crafty friends.  Today, I'm sharing this hand drawn and hand colored ice cream cone that I made recently, in honor of The Daily Marker 30 day coloring challenge on Instagram.  If you're a follower of mine, then you know I like to doodle from time to time and have had some of my designs made into stamps at Crackerbox & Suzy Stamps.  I've had this image in my head for awhile, so of course, it was time I translated it onto paper.  And of course, it's my favorite flavor; mint chocolate chip!

 (FTC Disclosure: as an affiliate for various companies in the craft industry, I will receive a small commission for purchases made through my convenient affiliate links.  This does not affect your purchase price.)

Here's a snapshot of my colored, hand drawn image from my Instagram account.  I colored with all the Copic markers you see pictured, and also E37 which was used to make the chocolate chips.  To help line up my red stripes, I used washi tape at an angle and colored inbetween the strips.  I did sketch this in pencil, then lightly erase before coloring.  To add a little pop to my cone, and cone wrapper, I embellished with my white Signo gel pen.

I wanted to keep my color scheme going for my backdrop, so I used my Jane Davenport pan watercolors to create the paint splattered back drop on Neenah cardstock.  My plaid paper is from the Lawn Fawn Perfectly Plaid Chill collection.  I'll have links to all the products that I used, at the end of this post.

Lastly, I used a sentiment from the Unity Stamp Company June 2018 Sentiment Kit.  You can find that here.  It is currently 50% off when you add it to your cart, however I think the sale ends very soon.  I also added lots of sequins, tiny seed pearls and gems from the 28 Lilac Lane product line, sticking them in place with Nuvo Morning Dew Crystal Drops.  All my adhesives are from Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L and I've popped up my top panel with foam circles, as well as my ice cream and sentiment.

If you wish to take advantage of some amazing 4th of July sales, Scrapbook.com is offering 10% off storewide when using coupon code 4JULY2019 at checkout.  You can also snag a Prima freebie with any purchase.  Both offers expire July 4th at midnight MST.  Click here for the freebie, then shop around: http://bit.ly/PrimaFreebie
