SheepSki Designs Bumble Bee Blossom

Happy Sunday crafty friends, and hello August! Here we are in that month when vacations are ending, beginning of school preparations, and, here in Florida, the temperatures are hot and humid. It’s an ideal time to visit a water park or spend a little extra time in the pool (both of which I did this past week)

We start the first Sunday of the month with the Lil Patch of Crafty Friends Challenge Blog. This time we are sponsored by SheepSki Designs. I chose Bumble Bee Blossom digital stamp for my card, found here.

To begin, I printed the image onto smooth cardstock and used my Copic Markers to color it in, then I used my ScanNCut to cut the image out.

Next, I created the background by die-cutting a panel of teal cardstock, adding Mermaid Lagoon Distress Oxide ink to the sides for shading, and stamping a crackle background to the panel.

I dug through my stash of stamps for the perfect sentiment and stamped it on the bottom of the card. Pop on over to the Lil Patch of Crafty Friends Challenge blog to see what my teammates created and enter the challenge for a chance to win!

Joy Clair Designs Making Memories

Hi crafty friends! It’s the first Sunday of the month, and I’m sharing my project for the current Lil Patch of Crafty Friends Challenge Blog. We are celebrating Christmas in July, sponsored by Joy Clair Designs.

All of the designers are using Making Memories Digital stamp for their project. In this set, there are three digital images and five sentiments. I picked the image of the adorable bear in a sweater, printed it, and colored the image with my Copic Markers.

Copic Marker Combination

Bear: B29, B27, B25, B23, B21
Sweater: R89, R39, R27, R24
Scarf: B05, BG01, BG00, BG000

Joy Clair Designs Making Memories

To create the background, first I die-cut a piece of smooth cardstock into an A2-sized panel. Next, I ink blended the panel with Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide ink in the center of the panel and Salty Ocean Distress Oxide ink at the outer edges. Next, I added the sparkle using a flurry stencil and Stickles Glitter Gel in Moon Dust.

I had to be a little creative with the sentiment by printing the digital sentiment onto black cardstock using my laser printer then I simply added white foiling. I honestly was not sure if it would work, but I had to try, and VOILA!

Once the panel was dry, I adhered the image and the sentiment using foam adhesive to the front of my panel to complete my card.

Join us for the Christmas in July celebration on the Lil Patch of Crafty Friends and enter our challenge for a chance to win a generous prize from our sponsor.
