Hoot! Hoot! Hat's off to you card with Tina

Hello, it's Tina here today with another card creation 
made with stamps and supplies 
from The Crafty Scrapper! 

The designer papers I was given were the Bo Bunny Pop Quiz line, which is all school related.  When I saw the set of owl stamps from Maya Road, I decided it was a perfect time to combine the two and create a graduation card. 

I made the little grad hat out of some black paper and added a homemade tassel out of some black crochet thread.  The scallop border is a die from My Favorite Things.  That little star pin is the perfect added touch!

I hope you enjoyed my card for the day.  You can find it and all the supplies at The Crafty Scrapper!

Happy Stamping!

Bunny Hugs Card with Tina

Hello, it's Tina here again to share another card creation with you!

Springtime has arrived at The Crafty Scrapper!

I combined beautiful papers from Authentique's spring line called the Promise Collection with an adorable bunny stamp from Inky Antics, added in flowers, ribbon and a nice sketch to create my card.  All three flowers were cream until I colored two of them with my Copics!  And, I used an exacto knife on the bunny's arms to slide the flower stems through.  This is a super fun card that is perfect for spring but could also be sent year around.

You can find all the supplies and see this card in person at The Crafty Scrapper.

Happy Stamping!

I'm Glad There Is You - Tina

Hello, it is Tina here to bring you another card creation using wonderful products from The Crafty Scrapper!

I was thinking springtime when I saw these pretty papers from Authentique!  I decided to make one of my favorite card sketches, combining it with a sentiment stamp from Inky Antics and an awesome two part butterfly die set from Elizabeth Craftts.  And, instead of adding plain ribbon, I added that floral fabric ribbon border.  Yes, it was white and I colored it with my Copics to match the papers!
Love how this one came out.  I hope you do too!

All the supplies can be found or ordered at The Crafty Scrapper!

Starburst Card with Tina

Hello, it's Tina here today to share with you another card creation using wonderful products from The Crafty Scrapper! 

I was so excited to see such pretty papers in my design team kit this month.  I decided I needed to find the perfect design to really show them off.  This easy to make starburst design does the trick! 

I also got to use some favorite dies from My Favorite Things.  In my style of card making, I almost always add a sentiment to the front of the card.  I liked the "hello friend" sentiment because that way this card could be for multiple occasions.  I love how it came out.  I hope you do too!

Spring Banner Card with Tina

Hello, it's Tina here today to share with you another card creation with 
wonderful products from The Crafty Scrapper! 

 

Lately, I have been seeing all kinds of ideas with banners on cards.  I knew I wanted to join in and so I created this fun and festive banner for today's card.  I combined Maya Road's banner chipboard pieces, which I inked with distress ink, with beautiful papers from Authentique's Flourish line, and small dies from My Favorite Things.  And of course, a stamped sentiment completes the card.  I love how it came out and I hope you do too!

Thanks for stopping by!

What's In Your Pocket Part Three with Tina

Hello, it's Tina here today with part three of my three part series of pocket cards.

All the wonderful products I have used are from The Crafty Scrapper!!

The card features a pocket horizontally across the width of the card, highlighted with a favorite border die from My Favorite things.  The sentiment is from an awesome set of stamps from Inky Antics.  The swirl is a chipboard from Maya Road that was inked with Distress pads and then embossed with an embossing folder.  This was a first for me, and I love the effect!  The flower looked like this before ...

And now, perfectly matches my card!  First, I changed the color by coloring it with my Copics.  Then I flattened it out and cut out the middle, so that it would be flat enough for me to add that big red rhinestone!  An altered flower ... wow! 

Stop in the Crafty Scrapper so you can see all three of my pocket cards in person and get a list of the supplies I used. 

I really hop you have enjoyed my pocket cards! 
  Happy Stamping!

Thick and Thin Card Crafting with Tina

Hello, it's Tina, teacher and designer, 

here today to share with you  three cards I made with some 

fabulous products from The Crafty Scrapper!

Before I show you my cards, I want to give you a little background. I was given a packet of various papers and embellishments. I quickly realized that thick embellishments were going to challenge my card making style. I am one that actually sends my cards in the mail, so I am always conscience of the thickness. But, after looking around for some ideas, I decided it would be fun to make some thicker cards. I just have to know that the thicker ones are going to be the ones that will be hand given not sent.

So, my first card to show you is a thick one, but oh, so pretty! And since I was going thick, I got to use my Tim Holtz Rosette die ... woo hoo. I almost always make a card from either a sketch or CASE (copy and share everything) one that I see that I like. 

There were flowers in my packet but I wanted the color to be brighter,so, I changed the color with a Copic!Easy Peasy!

This picture shows how thick the card is. One note, I have seen on blogs where they used a hot glue gun.  I have never used this form of adhesive until today!  I found it worked great to adhere the twine, flower, and rosette to my card!

 Adding that rose reminded me of a stamp! (Of course, it did!) So, I used the same papers and supplies to make a second card (a thin one)! See how different one central image can change the cards look! 

For my third card, I decided to go with a Valentine theme.The chipboard heart and "always' really sparkles with that red glitzy glitter from Elizabeth Crafts! I wanted to add something to her dress, so I used the Copic Colorless Blender to add the dots!

  All supplies can be found or ordered at The Crafty Scrapper.

The cards can be seen in person at the store.
Thanks so much for stopping by!
Happy Stamping!
