Foxy Hugs

 Hi again!

At this card I used Mr. Sweets the Fox img.192 and Perscilla Flower Girl rubber stamp.  I just love these images! 

I coloured the images with alcohol markers and wanted to try one of my unused stencils. So I did the background with stencil and Distress Inks. Then just die cutted hugs text where I also added turquoise glitter.

With this card I just went with the flow and I'm really happy with the result ☺️

Silly Seahorse

 Hi everyone!

I've been suffering of neck pain about two weeks and it was awful 'cause I couldn't do almost anything I love. I'm so happy that I finally got something crafty done, YAY!

So, here is my card where I used Sid the Silly Seahorse img.323 and Digital Paper Halloween 2018.

I arranged the image and text on background paper before I printed it. The image I coloured with alcohol markers and also added some Glossy accents over the air bubbles to create some 3D effect. Unfortunately it doesn't show well on the picture.

 

Hope you like it!

Love Bites: An Anti-Valentine from the Heart

With Valentines day just around the corners, it seemed about time for my annual anti valentines card. It is not that I am against Valentine's Day or anything, I just find the card against it so much more fun than the ones for it. I thought this digital stamp, IMG#506 Vamp Boy Mr. Valentine from Oddball Art is perfect for my anti-Valentine.

I started by printing out the digital stamp onto some cardstock and coloring it with my copic markers.

I then fussy cut out both the image and the sentiment so they could float on my card.

To create the background, I dripped Dr. Ph Martin's Hydrus water color ink in red down some heavy duty cardstock along with a few well placed splatters. Let me know in the comments below if this came out just a little too realistic.

To finish the background off, I added a heavy rubbing of Black Soot Distress Oxide around the edge.

I finished the card by adhering the background to an A2 card frame, and then adhere Mr. Vamp to the background. I also floated the sentiment with a little three dimensional tape so it is popped up.

Let me know what you think of my anti-Valentine and if you make fun cards like this during the love holiday. Until then, happy crafting.

Birthday Pocket Letter

Hey Creepy Cuties!

And Happy Birthday to all my fellow Aquarius's 🐳💙🌊. It's Celia from Paper Beats Rock Designs here to show you what I've been working on. With this month's Oddball Challenge being pocket letters, I decided to make myself a birthday pocket letter commemorating my 31st birthday, and my "Spooky Year".

I used my alcohol markers to color up stamp  number 285 "Party Girl" in my favorite colors: Grey and Purple. Then I dove into my scrapbox and used only scraps to fill in the different sections along with buttons, die cut hearts, and "31" in Thickers.

I used a couple of different glass beads and sequins to create my party mix to fill in the awkward little strip in the middle of the pocket page. The washi held it in place alright, but not great, so I went over to my sewing machine and gave it a few passes of messy stitching with silver and purple threads.

I snagged a cupcake from the "Spooky Sweets" stamp set number 468 and colored it to sort of match the SnapChat filter I used on my BDay.

I also grabbed this skull out of my OddBall Box, but I can't remember what set it's from. Drop a comment below if you know. 

I used my Cricut to cut out the title card as well as my journaling cards and used more washi to make a flip up about how my birthday was.

I topped it all off with a generous sprinkle of rhinestones flat back pearls and sparkly bats from Michael's Halloween a few years ago.

After I added a few stamped embellishments, clear stickers, and tiny word stickers from my stash, I called it all done.

I hope this inspires you to make a pocket letter, even if it's just for yourself 💜. And if you do, tag me on Instagram @Paperbeatsrockdesigns and hashtag your project #oddballchallenge.

Lois Mailou Jones

I always watch out for a new release from Oddball Art Stamps! 

The most recent one is

CCC PREMIUM MEMBERS EXCLUSIVE FEBRUARY 21 LOIS MAILOU JONES

and I have used the image and sentiment from this today.

I started making a junk journal some while ago and I have added a page today.

Each page is cut from recycled cardboard from packaging. Today's was part of a Corona beer carrier. The back of each page is covered in a Kraft patterned paper so I decided to print the image and sentiment on kraft.

You will see a similar post on my blog, Calling All Crafters,  

along with other posts you might like...

Step One:

I prepared the background - lots of patterned images from Cut and Collage 2 by Kale James.

I added a bit of pen scribble and Black Soot Distress Ink around the edges.

Step Two:

I attached some brightly coloured die cuts of a paintbrush, artists's palette and paint tubes.

Step Three:

I added the sentiment with faux stitching, using a Micron pen, around the edges. This was on dimensional tape.

Step Four:

I coloured Lois Mailou Jones with markers - the photo does not really give her justice - and I added a gold die cut crown.

Happy Crafting!

Makers Gonna Make

 

CCC #135 Makers Gonna Make Digi Stamp

Welcome back crafty friends and happy Sunday! I hope you're all doing well and having a nice time and perhaps having some inky fingers too!

Today, I am back to share another Project Inspiration using CCC#135 Makers Gonna Make Digi Stamp. I had so much fun creating this card and most of all coloring those little pencils. This Digi Stamps is so fun and I believe you will have fun creating different things as well like tags, scrapbook layout, journals and most of cards to give away.

For this card, I couldn't pick just one color to make the pencil so I decided to go for a color pencil vibe. Aren't they so cute? I printed this cute pencils on a White Cardstock from Cardstockwarehouse and started coloring them one at a time. 

To color this pencils, you can either use colored pencils, watercolor, alcohol markers or any medium of your choice. But for me, I used my favorite go to Arteza EverBlend Markers. As you can see, they are super vibrant and in person it looks like a real color pencils. After coloring each pencils, it's time to have some fun! I love fussy cutting and this one is super easy to cut. Then, when I'm done cutting them I added a little bit of sparkle using the Arteza Gel Pens and adhere a foam tape at the back of each pencils.

To assemble this card, I cut a piece of Recollections Kraft Cardstock and adhere the pencils one at a time until I am happy with it. After that, I cut a piece of Recollections Green Cardstock and added the sentiment I printed earlier then attached it in the front. To complete the set up, I added one more pencil beside the sentiment for a little compliment. To finish it off, I attached it to the card base and were done!

I hope you like what I created today and you'll give it a shot!
