Woodgrain Pumpkin Slimline Card

Hey friends, today I've got a fun technique that I don't use often but I really should. Stamping over stencils. It yields such cool results and is so fun to do. This project for Scrapbook.com features the Pumpkin Patch stencil and Hi Fall stamp set, both new in the shop.  Scroll down for creative details. You'll also find product links at the end of this post.

The dimensions of my card are close to the traditional size of a slimline card, measuring in at 4x8 inches, edge to edge. I trimmed my kraft cardstock to fit, then trimmed my white panel to fit.

I sprayed the back of my stencil with Thermoweb Pixie Spray then masked around 2 rows of pumpkins and centered the stencil on top of my white panel. Yes, my stencil is covered in some adhesive and glitter and needs a good cleaning, haha! Even though I had tape on my stencil, I used the spray for a better seal and to prevent any of the gloss spray that I used (further down this post) to seep underneath the stencil. The Pixie Spray is currently out of stock but click the link if you'd like to be notified when it's back in stock. It's a must have staple in my craft room.

 

Next, I used my Scrapbookcom hybrid ink in Leather to ink blend lightly inside my pumpkins. Once this is done, LEAVE YOUR STENCIL IN PLACE! You're going to stamp right on top of your ink blended pumpkins with a woodgrain background stamp. No need for a stamp positioner, just ink up the cling stamp and press directly onto your pumpkins, If it's a large background stamp, like mine, you may need to mask some of your area to stamp 2 different sections evenly. You can also use a small woodgrain stamp and acrylic block to stamp individual pumpkins.

I should mention, the background stamp I'm using today is no longer available but I've linked a very similar woodgrain stamp at the end of this post.

Continue to leave your masking and stencil in place for this next step. We're going to jazz up the pumpkins with some Dina Wakley Gloss Spray. I love that it dries fairly quickly and adds such pretty color, shine and dimension.

I generally unscrew my bottle top and simply tap the gloss all around with the end of the spritzer tube. It allows me a little more control this way and I don't over saturate my area.

Now, it's time for the magic. Peel off your stencil and masking tape.

Isn't it gorgeous? I decided to go in and ink blend a few pumpkin "shadows" but this was easily done without masking. I also used the 2nd stencil that comes in the set to blend in some bubbles and stars. My sentiment was stamped with gradient color, stamping half my sentiment with Leather ink and the other half with Catherine Pooler Eucalyptus ink, to tie in all my colors together. I fussy cut it and backed it with a matching trimmed kraft cardstock.

Glue a few sequins for sparkle and call it a day!

Snarky Pop-Tarts Card

It's time for another Crackerbox and Suzy stamps project!  I've had this idea bouncing around in my head for awhile, and it's so super duper easy.  I love easy!  I bet you do too.  You could make a ton of these lickity split.  For this card, I'm featuring the Pop-Tarts stamp.  It's also part of the Food and Drink sale going on this month.  Add it to your shopping cart before Aug. 1st to get an additional 15% off.

If you have some wonky nesting frame dies, they would work great for this.  However, I chose to simply use some DCWV papers and just cut my own wonky shape, to look like the shape of a pop-tart.  These are sized to layer onto an A2 sized card.  My kraft paper is adhered with my EZ Grand Runner and my purple layer is popped up with foam circles, as is my sentiment.

Grab some white acrylic paint and just dab lots of dots with a small paintbrush.  I sprinkled a touch of crystal glitter while it was still wet, but you can't really see the sparkle in these photos.  For my sentiment, I used my Misti to stamp and masked my center wording, going in later with a purple brush marker and directly coloring the ink onto the stamp.  Easy and colorful!

My girlfriends would totally "get" the sarcasm behind this sentiment!  Give this card a try.  You really can't mess this one up and you are going to love how easy and quick this comes together.  Don't forget the Christmas in July challenge that is currently going on.  I hope you'll enter!  There's a $25 GC up for grabs and you have until Aug. 14th.

Casology Challenge - Coffee

I was so hoping I would find the time to link up to the Casology challenge this week.  Several of my crafty friends have shared this challenge and of course, I'm another coffee loving crafter, so it's right up my alley.  I've been wanting to break in this amazing Stampendous stamp that I was lucky enough to snag at Tuesday Morning recently.

This is easier to make than it looks; a waterbrush, Tombow dual brush markers and a white gel pen are all you need.  I swiped my stamp with  my black Tombow around the rim, then swiped  the center with brown and filled in one addition beige color.  Mix it up a bit in the center with the waterbrush, blotting with a paper towel.  

I did take a paint brush at the last minute and dip it into my Ranger Distress paint to splatter a bit on the page, with a tiny bit of white splatter in my cup.  Fill in the wording with a white gel pen to make it pop and call it a day!

Link up to the challenge, here.  Hurry, though, it ends Monday at noon.  Thanks so much to Stamplorations for sponsoring!

Art/Devotion Journaling with TPD Stamps

I've got another fun project for you that features the newest release from Two Paper Divas Stamps.   This project is a page that I created from my devotion journal, using the Journal It! 1 stamp set as well as those pretty flowers from the Sunshine and Smiles stamp set.

I began by using a measured piece of designer scrapbook paper and applying some white gesso, to make a nice surface for my stamped images.  All of my coloring is with Tombow Dual Brush markers.

I also added a little hand lettered word, "Mercy" to tie into my devotion theme. 

The sparkly flowers were hard to capture so here's a blurred photo that I took to show some of the Stickles glitter glue that I added to my flowers.

Finally, here's my scrap paper that I ran through my Xyron Creative Station for edge to edge coverage on my page.  With the leftover sticker backing, I laid a strip of washi tape and cut it in half, to use as a nice edging for the bottom of my page.  I save all my sticker paper backings and you should to.  They come in handy for so many things.

Purchase Journal It!1 here.
