Scrappy Boy Stamps - May Release #3 - New Baby Card

Hey Crafty Friends,

Today's card uses the latest Scrappy Boy Stamps Release however I took it in another direction to make something that wasn't nostalgic.

Sometimes the smaller stamps in a set can make a card with a completely different feel and these sets gave some great smaller images to do just that!


Card Recipe:

1. Take a piece of plain bright white card stock cut down to the size of a large slimline rectangle scalloped die

2. Take some inks in light colours. I'm using Catherine Pooler inks. These inks are nice and vibrant when stamping images to give a good impression. I've chosen It's a Girl, Oh Boy! and Limoncello. Using the flower, bear and dog image from the Hello Everyone stamp set and the star image from the Hello Friends stamp set to stamp across your page, rotate between your 3 colours and turn your stamp in different directions as you go to create a full page that isn't symmetrical in any way and creates a more fun look. 

Tip: For a more authentic look with your stamping, stamp some off the page so your not using the whole image

3. Take the coordinating paper pack and a Happy New Baby and die cut firstly the shadow part of the die from the stripy paper and the word part of the die from the white spotty paper. Use adhesive glue to stick the words to the shadow cut out

4. Die cut your stamped panel from the slimline stitched scalloped edge die

5. Attach your word sentiment centrally using foam tape to give it some depth and help it stand out from the background a little

I hope this has inspired you to use the smaller images in your stamp sets to create a completely different card from what the set may have been intended for. Stretch your supplies!

Until next time, happy crafting!

Hey Crafty Friends, It's a new month so that means the start of a new challenge over on the Colour it, Create it, Show it off challenge blog, as always our challenge is anything goes, that's any image, any project. Why not grab you favourite set and join us  here. If you would like to treat yourself to a new image you can find all the MyBesties images  here. This will be a shorter post again today, it's a very simple card. I coloured the image in Spectrum Noir alcohol markers and fussy cut around her. Taking a card blank and used Kitsch flamingo distress ink to bring down some colour to about a quarter down the panel and fade out into the white to give a very soft look and feel. Using some trees branches, flowers and leaves from a couple sets in my stash and a birthday sentiment to top this off and bring it all together.  I cant wait to see what you come up with for the challenge! This card was sent to a fellow crafter on Instagram in a birthday swap, it gave me joy to have

Swan Galaxy - Interactive card!

Image
Hey Crafty Friends, Welcome back, I'm sharing my usual design team post for Crafty Purple Frog a few days early because I am so impatient and love this card so much that I wanted to share with you all at the earliest opportunity!  Today's card is very fitting, I usually make a card with someone in mind or themed around something I've seen. My idea for this came as soon as I saw the set 'Spread your wings' This beautiful swan has big regal wings that meant it deserved the opportunity to fly! To start up I took a scalloped slimline frame die and inked up a galaxy type background, now the thing to remember with creating a galaxy background is it might look like a hot mess to start with! A galaxy background can use any colours you feel are fitting, I'm using Wilted Violet, Mermaid Lagoon and Candied Apple. You can put some greens and pinks in too if you would like.  Take a blending tool, I'm using a blending brush and bring in random sections of colour using you
