Tawny Owl Paperie Inky Inspiration Sketch 32 ~ Mazie ~ Unity Stamp Co.

 Hello there crafty friend!

It is time for a brand new sketch challenge! Woohoo! Today I'm sharing my first card for the Tawny Owl Paperie Inky Inspiration Sketch Challenge 32 in the Tawny Owl Paperie Inky Inspiration Facebook group. I inked up the wonderful Mazie. 

Isn't she just the sweetest?! Love, love, love. I stamped the adorable pup and sentiment with Amalgam Black ink on Stampers Select White card stock and colored her up with Copic Markers. Here's a list of the Copic Markers I used: pup - C00, C1, E30, E33; heart - R20, R14, R27.

Here's a look at the fun sketch for Tawny Owl Paperie Inky Inspiration Sketch Challenge 32. The sketch, as always, is meant to inspire not require. So let the sketch lead in your design, but don't feel limited by it. If you'd like to see another card I made that actually inspired this sketch, you can check it out here... kitty birthday card.

I paired up this sweet pup with the Woof-Tastic {paper pack}. I love all the fun patterns in these papers! I couldn't help but use a few different papers for my card.

I think this will be a really fun sketch to play with for the next four weeks! Lots of possibilities! I hope you can find time to play along. I can't wait to see what you create. Have an ink-tastic week!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

See ya next time.

Inky Hugs,

Inky Paws Challenge #237 ~ Sketch Challenge {Week 2}

 Hello there crafty friend!

 Have you played along with the Inky Paws Challenge 237 - Sketch Challenge yet?! There's still lots of time! You have until Friday, February 28th to get your entries in for this fun challenge and a chance to win a $20 store credit to Newton's Nook Designs!

Inky Paws Challenge #237 - Sketch Challenge

I turned the sketch for my card today. What do you think of the sketch on the side?

I made one last Valentine's Day card using the Newton's Sweetheart Stamp Set. I stamped the lovely kitties with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and colored them up with Copic Markers. I then die cut them using the coordinating Newton's Sweetheart Die Set.

Here's a quick list of the Copic markers I used:

Black Cat: N0, N2, N4, N6, R00, R20

White Cat: C00, C1, C3, R00, R20

Collars: R20, R14, R27, Y15, Y28

I paired up the sweetheart kitties with the Love & Meows 6x6 Paper Pad. I love these wonderful papers and the colors are one of my favorite color combos. The pretty heart layer under the kitties was die cut using a die from the Heart Frames Die Set. I adhered the kitties to the heart and popped the heart up on the card.

I used the banner die again from the Frames & Flags Die Set for that pretty red banner strip. And to finish off the card I added a few red enamel dots.

Now it's your turn to get your paws inky with your Newton's Nook Designs products and create a project using the sketch. Be sure to link up to the Inky Paws Challenge! Can't wait to see your projects!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

See ya next time.

I hope you're having fun with this color combo... Cherry Red, Dreamy Turquoise, Buttery Brown, and White!! I couldn't help but make another love day card!

For my last bit of inspiration for the Color Challenge, I've made a sweet Valentine for my youngest son using the Puppy Heart Stamp Set. I die cut the sweet pup that I had colored with my Copic markers using the coordinating Puppy Heart Die Set. 

Here's a quick list of the Copic markers I used:

Pup: C00, C1, N0, N1, N3, N5, N7

Heart: R20, R14, R27

I paired up the puppy with the wonderful papers from the Love & Woofs 6x6 Paper Pad. Those pups in the background are just too cute!

The background pup panel is die cut using a die from the Basic Frames Die Set. The polka dot paper is cut with a small scalloped die from the Circle Frames Die Set. The sweet sentiment is die cut using another die from the Basic Frames Die Set. All the layers are adhered to a white A2 top fold card base. The pup and the sentiment are popped up with foam tape.

Now it's your turn to get your paws inky with your Newton's Nook Designs products and create a project using the color combo of Cherry Red, Dreamy Turquoise, Buttery Brown, and White. Be sure to link up to the Inky Paws Challenge! Can't wait to see your projects!

Have My Heart Card ~ Reluctant Love Pissy Kitty ~ Unity Stamp Co.

Hello there crafty friend! 

I'm back with another fun Valentine's Day card this time using the amazing Reluctant Love Pissy Kitty stamps from Unity's January release. I can't get enough of this sweet kitty!

I stamped the fun kitty using Black Amalgam ink and colored her up with some Copic markers. I die cut the panel using the largest die from the Postage Stamp {nesting dies}.

Here's a quick list of the Copic markers:

Kitty: T0, T2, T4, T6

Heart: RV10, RV11, RV14

I wanted to add some more hearts so I grabbed the Heart Confetti Stencil {sadly, it's not available anymore} and I blended very lightly with my pink blending brush. In fact, I didn't add any ink to my brush so I could keep it light on purpose. I adhered the panel to a card base of Pale Peony card stock from Papertrey Ink.

I stamped the sentiments, trimmed them up and mat them with Pale Peony card stock. And then I adhered them directly to the card. I finished off the card with a few rhinestones from my stash.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

See ya next time.

Inky hugs,

Crystal

Best Decision You Ever Made ~ Snarky Valentines ~ Unity Stamp Co.

Hello there crafty friend! 

I'm back today to share a quick and funny Valentine's Day card using the awesome Snarky Valentines stamps from Unity's January release. So many hilarious and fun sentiments!

I went with a very simple card design so the sentiment would be the star. I love this! Pretty sure this will be my hubby's Valentine's Day card! LOL

I paired the Snarky Valentines sentiment with the beautiful Enveloped in Love {paper pack}. I actually had these papers in the pack already for a card. Easy peasy! I die cut the sentiment using a banner die from the Scallops & Banners {nesting dies}. Distressed the edges leaving a little bit of white peeking through in the center. I added a bunch of foam tape to the back of the banner and popped it up on the card. And then I finished this card off with one heart enamel dot.

To finish off the card, I added one heart enamel dot from my stash. Such a fun card to make!!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

See ya next time.

Inky hugs,

Crystal

Love is in the Air ~ Struck by Cupid Digi ~ The Greeting Farm

 Hello there crafty friend!

 I'm also sharing a sweet Valentine featuring a fab new digi set called Struck by Cupid from The Greeting Farm! This adorable digi set includes a super cute little Cupid Bean along with some bunny friends, lots of hearts, and sentiments. Just too cute!

I created a sweet background of pink clouds using the Clouds Stencil from Newton's Nook Designs. I die cut the background using a die from the Labels 6 Cloud Like dies from Gina Marie Designs. And it's adhered to a white A2 top fold card that I turned on the side for a landscape card.

I combined and resized all of the fun images and sentiment in a Microsoft Word Document and then I printed them off on white card stock. I colored them up with Copic Markers. Fussy cut the hearts, bunny, and Cupid Bean. Colored the edges of the fussy cutting with a Memento Tuxedo Black marker. Here's a quick list of the Copic markers I used:

Skin: E000, E00, E11, E04, R00, R20

Unity Advent Calendar 2024 Day 15 ~ Unity Stamp Co.

Hello there crafty friend!

It's Day 15 of the 2024 Advent Calendar from Unity!! I have a sweet bunny card to share today.

Today's goodies are snowflake embellishments and beautiful heart brads. I used a few of the heart brads on my love card. Here's a quick list of the Copic markers I used: R00, R20, W0, W2, W4, W5.

You can check out my video revealing the Advent Calendar Day 15 stamp and my process in making this card here... Unity Advent Calendar 2024 Day 15 | Unity Stamp Co.

Inspiration for my card came from the {BYSHC} Sketch 35! I altered the sketch and made a mini slimline card.

I found the perfect sentiment for this cute card from the Born to Be Loved stamps.

Did you check out my video? If you did, you saw me add the beautiful snowflake embellishments to this card and the next one below. I love the added texture! If you missed this card, you can check it out here... Advent Calendar Day 14.

I also added a few snowflake embellishments to this card. Love the added shimmer it adds to the card! If you'd like to check out more info on this card you can see it here... December 2024 Whit Kit Card.

I paired up the beautiful heart brads with the Gosh I Love You {paper pack}. I think it's a fun pairing with a heart theme.

I'll be back tomorrow for Day 16 of the 2024 Advent Calendar from Unity!

Have an inktastic day!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

See ya next time.

 

Inky Hugs,

Crystal
