This year Santa forgot the list!

Hi! 

Once again I come to bring you a little inspiration with stamps from Oddball Stamps




As you can see, it is very simple, very much in my style. 

The background is inked in Distress Ink Wilted Violet and Blueprint Sketch; the floor is white card stock lightly inked with Distress Ink Weathered Wood. 


The digis are colored with my alcohol markers and cut out with scissors. 

Finally the sentiment is a phrase that I printed on white cardboard and inked with Distress Ink Wilted Violet. 


To add a little light to the sky I drew little stars with a white gel pen, silver gel and white concealer. 


I hope you like and inspire.

Pop, Fizz, Clink!

Hello! 

First Friday of the month, it's time to present the exclusive stamp for Oddball Stamps subscribers. 


This is a very versatile stamp of a girl with a bottle and a glass. The digi, “Pop, Fizz, Clink”, is made up of the girl, the bottle and a feeling. 


On this occasion, and since the Christmas celebrations are approaching, I have accompanied it with image #311 "I'll cry if I want to Birthday Party Jaz" and I have placed them in the context of aforemencioned celebrations, toasting and congratulating Christmas or celebrating that this horrendous year is finally over. 


In any case, it is a very easy card to make. 

To start, I colored the stamps with Finecolour alcohol markers, and cut out by hand with scissors. 

I cut a panel of white cardboard and using an embossing folder as if it were a stamp, I irregularly stamped the background of stones with Distress Ink Vintage Photo. 

On a piece of cardboard cut out by hand with scissors, not quite straight, I applied Distress Ink Black Soot to achieve the dark gray tone of the floor. 

I also applied it to the edges of the feeling. 


Finally, I glued everything in place forming the scene. 

With a black gel pen I painted the strings to the balloons. 

For a final touch, I glued the panel onto colored card stock to frame the scene. 

And that's it. 


As you can see, it is very simple to do. 

I hope you like and inspire.

Tag time...

 

 For this inspirational make I have used the December exclusive set:


This is available when you subscribe to
 Creepy Cute Chronicles
Visit the site for more details!

You will see a similar post on my blog, Calling All Crafters,  
along with other posts you might like...

Today I have just used the sentiment from this set.

I have been making tags for my Christmas presents for the last few weeks - and I thought this sentiment would be perfect on tags to go with some bottles of fizz...
 

Step One:

Firstly I used some nesting dies and scraps of non-traditional Christmas colours to layer up a heart and a square motif.


Step Two:

I printed the sentiments and cut them out with a small stitched tag die, adding a little colour with markers.


I added these to tags die cut from pink card and then either the heart motif or part of the square motif.


Step Three:

Finally I added ribbon, twine and bells...


Happy Crafting!

Happy Birthday Peach!

 


                             Digi Stamp Sweet Sweet Peaches, Scones, Cake, Muffin Cobbler Desserts #536 

Hi friends! I'm back here again for another Project Inspiration. Today, I'll be sharing a Birthday card using the Digi Stamp Sweet Sweet Peaches Scones Cake Muffin Cobbler Dessert Image #536. This particular Digi Stamp Set has a lot of variation to create several Birthday Cards and even a different type of cards but all you have to do is use your imagination. :)


If you saw my last post, the background is similar however with this one I use the Distress Oxide as Water Color. I was hesitant at first but as you know with Art when you think it doesn't look good just keep on trying and the end result will come out naturally beautiful. 


For this card, I used the Peach Muffin among the Digi Stamp Set because I love to make muffins and not just that I also love to eat them. :) I colored this yummy muffin with Arteza Real Brush Pen and then added Versamark Embossing Ink Pad then I added some Ranger Perfect White Pearl for some dimension. 


To complete this card, I assembled the card to a  4.25 x 5.5 white card base then added it to the watercolor background. Next, I added the Peach Muffin to a doily and then added some foam tape to popped up. Lastly, I added the Happy Birthday sentiment.



I hope you enjoyed today's Project Inspiration and will try to make your own. Also,  If you would like to buy any of the Oddball Images, you can use my coupon code DTMARJ10 to take advantage of 10% OFF any image in the ODDBALL WEBSITE or better yet subscribe to the GHOUL PLANS!

LAYOUT “DO YOU FANCY A COZY COFFEE?”

 



Hello Oddballers! 

I´m Natalia (@la_maleta_encantada_scrap). How are you?😄


Today I show you a LAYOUT with the Creepy Cute Cafe w/ Crow Ghosts and Bats (IMG#523) digital Stamp. This week the theme is Cozy & Thank-ful. 



 You can find it on: 

https://www.oddballartco.com/product-page/digi-stamp-creepy-cute-cafe-w-crow-ghosts-and-bats-image-523


Is there anything cozier than a creepy coffee?


Let´s go with the tutorial!


* Step 1: Cut a watercolor paper (10 inches by 10 inches).





* Step 2: Color and cut the stamp (IMG#523). I´ve used Ohuhu and Copic markers.



* Step 3: I choose a decorated paper (“5 centímetros” Spanish brand) and tier it creating two 10 inch rectangles. I will place them above and below the paper according to 3D adhesive.





* Step 4: I apply pigments (“Sunsen Beach” Infusion, “Grey” Brusho and brilliant gold) simulating the smoke from the chimney of Creepy Cute Cafe.








* Step 5: I glue the ghosts and one bat of the IMG#523 stamp as a die cuts. Add a spider web.



* Step 6: I frame the layout to give it depth making irregular lines. And I combined them with a journaling according to the theme of the week. Add the sentiment “BOO. Do you fancy a cozy coffee?”.





* Step 7: Finally, I stamp around the layout with a mixed-media rubber stamps from ABStudio by Mima Molina.



That´s all my friends!! 😘

Thankful & Cozy

 Hello dear Oddballs!

It's Merja here ☺️ I made a card using new CCC133 Thankful & Cozy Gwendolyn digi image and background paper from CCC117 Sweet Smiling Skulls

Gwendolyn is so cute, don't you agree?! 


 

I  coloured the image with alcohol markers and added some texture to jackets fur with snow pen. I love the hair colour 💜


 

To the text frame I added some turquoise pearl pen and coloured the leaves with pink and purple. I also used paper distresser to the edges of the patterned paper.


 

I hope you like my card!
