Sun... fun...

Hi there!

It's Yolanda here, from Scraping Time! I am almost at the end of my year since we start our school holidays on the 1st July! It's been a long stressful year so I thought I need to make a card thinking about the summer holidays!!

This "Happy hoppy bunny" stamps set is so versatile and you can use it for any occasion. Today, he's enjoying a lot his popsicle!!
I used a stencil to make my background and then I inked a chipboard with Lawn Fawn ink, adding some Wink of Stella Clear when it got dried.

I just coloured the imaged and die cut it before sticking it to my card with some foam. The popsicle is an enammel sticker and I thought it could be fun for this summery card.
I prepared my card base and added a decorated paper to give more colour to my main panel. And with this card I say hello to all the amazing things that you can enjoy during your holidays!!

See you soon with a new project!! Have a great week!

Summer Splash with Digistamps

Hello everyone!

How are you? Enjoying the summer heat? If so, I have the perfect summer splash cards for you! :) Have you already played along in the Instagram Surf Challenge with this little ducky?! You can enter your projects until tomorrow to have a chance for winning the upcoming new stamp set. Simply add the hashtag #surfingducky to your card!

I hope this little one here will inspire you a bit :)

I created a beach scene with some fishies from the Lucky Duck stamp set. Just simply mask off at the horizon line and add matching colors above / under it. After that, I grabbed my cloud die and placed the sentiment on the the paper cloud piece. If you add glossy accents on the sunglasses of the duck, you'll get a nice finishing touch!

And just because I love masking so much, I created a similar scene with my second digistamp. This little guy is this months challenge digistamp, you have 3 more days to enter your projects at the june challenge! I thought: why not placing him on an ice floe, just like he'd do in his natural environment ;) maybe he just wants to invite Mrs. Penguin to polar picnic :)

Got a little fresh breeze on a hot day like this? (we haven't had such a hot period in a long time over here in northern germany..uff!)

Have a great day!

VIDEO: Coloring with Prismacolors featuring Happy Fall

Hi guys!  It's Tara from Curl E. Cue's and I have a super fun project using the adorable squirrel from the Happy Fall stamp set to share with you today.  These little squirrels just tickle me!  They are so cute!

To create the background I die cut some trees out of the same Neenah card stock that I used to create my card base.  I glued them directly to the card base without coloring them to create a nice, subtle forest for my little squirrel to hang out in.  Once I had the trees all glued on I die cut a portion of the front of the card base with a stitched circle die.  This makes a window for my squirrel so he can be on the inside and the outside of the card at once!

My sentiment is nice and simple to go with the theme.  To me, that squirrel looks like he was surprised while he was munching on that acorn and you snuck up for a quick hi!  I used my Prismacolors to color in the squirrel image.  The trick to great coloring with the Prismacolors is to use a lot of layers.  I also smooth things out with the blender pencil when I'm all done.  The texture that this coloring medium leaves behind is so great for critters and fur!

I hope you enjoyed the project today!  Have a fabulous weekend and I'll see you all next time!  Thanks for stopping by!  Bye!
