Scrapping for Less ~ Hero Arts ~ Fennec the Fox

Hello there crafty friends! 

Today I'm sharing another card using the fabulous Fennec the Fox by Hero Arts... paired again with the awesome Kraft & Gold cardstock stack by DCWV!! I am loving this gorgeous desert inspired set and I just can't help but use the kraft papers... it's a perfect pairing of product!! Say that five times fast!! Lol!

My card design was inspired by a Sketch Saturday sketch from a couple of weeks ago and even though I'd miss the deadline to enter my card in the challenge, I still had to play with this sketch! I trimmed the polka dot foil kraft paper to 4-1/4 x 5-1/2" and adhered it a Vintage Cream A2 card base. I then trimmed a piece of Vintage Cream card stock down to 4 x 5-1/4" and then ran it through my Big Shot with an oval die. I set those aside and then stamped and colored my images.

I used the following Copic markers:

Fox ~ E0000, E000, E95, E97, E99, R00

Cactus/Flowers ~ YR09, YR15, YR21, R17, R27, Y06, YG00, YG03, YG63

Ground ~ E23, E25

How awesome is that foil shining in the background?! Such amazing paper!!

Next, I stamped the sentiment on a strip of kraft card stock from the Kraft & Gold cardstock stack with VersaMark watermark ink and heat embossed a fine white embossing powder. I die cut it with my favorite Everyday Sentiment Banner die by Lawn Fawn.

To finish off my card, I adhered my fussy cut images to the Vintage Cream layer and then I popped up the entire piece on the card using foam squares. I love the dimension the popped up layer gives to the card! The foxes in this beautiful set are so fun to color! I sure hope you've enjoyed my card today!

Thanks so much for checking out my blog! 

See ya next time.

Scrapping for Less ~ Lawn Fawn ~ Critters Down Under

 Hello there crafty friends!

 I'm here today with a sweet baby card using the adorable Critters Down Under stamp set from Lawn Fawn. I couldn't resist also using the Kraft & Gold cardstock stack from DCWV again... love these papers!!

My card design today uses the fabulous sketch over at Mojo Monday Sketch challenge 520... only I turned the sketch on the side and moved the sentiment up to make my design work. I do love a good sketch! And this one was perfect for my card today! 

Along with the fun Kraft & Gold papers I used the Fall Breeze papers from Photo Play... they coordinated beautifully! Since I knew I was doing a baby card, I chose the foiled hearts paper to adhere to my card base. I then used the Fall Breeze patterned papers and mat them on Lost Lagoon card stock from my stash. I die cut a cross stitched circle using the Large Cross Stitched Circle dies from Lawn Fawn and built my scene of stamped and colored images on the circle.

Here's a close up of the little scene I created. I used the following Copic markers for my card:

Platypus ~ BG000, BG70, BG72, BG75, YR15, YR16, YR21, E55, E57

Tree ~ E55, E57, E59, YG11, G24, G99

Egg ~ YR21, YR30, BG72, BG75

I had so much for with this sketch that I decided to do a second card...

This time I kept the sketch upright and used the sweet Koala Doodlepop for my focal image. I used Dark Chocolate and New Leaf card stock for my layers and of course, I had to use a bit more of the fabulous Kraft & Gold papers!! The sentiment is actually from the Critters Down Under set, however, it actually says 'hoppy birthday' so I changed the 'o' into an 'a' just using my Memento tuxedo black marker. Easy peasy!!

In the close up photo you can really see that beautiful shine in the gold foil stripes of the paper! Love it! Well, that's it for me today... I sure hope that you've enjoyed my cards for today!

Thanks so much for stopping by my blog! 

See ya next time.

Scrapping for Less ~ Hero Arts ~ Fennec the Fox

Hello there crafty friends! 

Today I'm sharing a fun CAS card using the sweet Fennec the Fox stamp set by Hero Arts! 

How sweet is that face?! I just love that little grin! This was such a fun stamp to color! I kept the coloring on the fox pretty simple but used a good handful for the little flowers. 

I used the following Copic markers on this card:

Fox ~ E0000, E000, E21, R00

Flowers ~ V0000, V06, V09, V12, Y06, YR21, YG00, YG03, YG63 

My design was inspired by a challenge in a Facebook group that I am a member in called Paper Craft Artist. I just loved the CAS sketch and have been itching to play along. Once my images were colored, I fussy cut them out and touched up the edges with my Memento tuxedo black marker. I set them aside and grabbed the Kraft & Gold cardstock stack by DCWV. I just had to pair this sweet grinning fox with the heart papers... too cute together!!

I used the solid kraft paper for my base layer that I adhered to a A2 Vintage Cream card base and then I added a layer of Vintage Cream card stock measuring 4-1/8 x 5-3/8". I die cut the heart foiled paper using a standard circle die and adhered it to my card. 

I wanted to add some more purple into the card so I trimmed a 1/4" strip of Elegant Eggplant card stock (for some reason it looks darker in the photos but it coordinates well with the purple flowers) and adhered it to the card, trimming off the excess on either side. I then popped up the happy fox using foam squares and adhered the flowers using a liquid glue. To finish off the card, I pulled out my Stamp Platform and I stamped the 'Hello' sentiment using Memento tuxedo black ink. I used my Stamp Platform so ensure that I got a nice crisp inked up sentiment... couldn't take any chances with my CAS design! I sure love how this turned out!

Thanks so much for checking out my blog post today! 

See ya next time.
