Same Set Syndrome - June

For the next 6 or so months a group of 20 crafters are going to spotlight different stamp companies in what we are calling “Same Set Syndrome” 

This month our focus is on Joy Clair.  The stamp set I have selected is Succulent Frame, which comes as clear photo-polymer stamps or as a digital stamp set.

Here is what I created:

I even played with some Distress Oxide inks.  I think that I used Carved Pumpkin and Wild Honey, but I am not 100% sure.

I then decided to watch a million you tube videos to see what color combos went well together.  Well that was all fine and dandy, but I do not own all 60+ colors.

This card uses Candied Apple and Abandoned Coral.

This card uses Seeded Preserves and Wilted Violet.  Once I removed the sticky note I noticed that some of the ink got under my mask.  I still finished the card because I really liked the colors. 

After that snafu, I stamped another mask using the sticky notes that are sticky on the WHOLE back!  Which led me to create this card.  It uses Broken China and Salty Ocean.  After I finished inking it I realized that I did not cut the card down before coloring it.  Again, I really liked how this turned out so I just adjusted my final card size. 

Lastly, I used Iced Spruce and Peeled Paint.

Here is a picture of all of the card bases.

Well that is it for me, please leave a comment and follow me on Instagram, Facebook, and You Tube!

Be sure to hop to the amazing Charloette E., aka Lady Joyful, she has a You Tube video AND and a Blog post to share with you.

See you next month!

Looking forward to seeing your creation!  Thank you for stopping by.  Make each day creatively crafty and stay tuned for more craftiness!

Scrapping for Less & Newton’s Nook Designs and Stampendous

 Good Morning and Happy Thursday!  Today I am on the Scrapping for Less blog to share with you TWO different cards using Newton’s Nook Designs “Vitamin Sea” stamp set & “Seashells” stencil and Stampendous “Cling Jellyfish” stamp !

 Here is what I created:  

These first 6 cards were inspired by video that Jennifer McGuire posted about a week ago.  I used my Gina K 3.5”x 3.5” wreath builder template with the Ranger Distress Oxide inks and stenciled the corners of the cards.  Next, I cut paper 3.75”x 3.75” and shaded the outside edges.  Lastly, I cut 4”x 8” cardstock for my card base.  I LOVE this technique that Jennifer shared with us in her video.  I am looking forward to using this technique in the future.

 Here is what I used: 

Scrapping for Less

Newton’s Nook Designs – “Vitamin Sea” stamp set

Newton’s Nook Designs – “Seashells” stencil

Ranger – Distress Oxide “Tumbled Glass” ink

Ranger – Distress Oxide “Carved Pumpkin” ink

Ranger Distress Ink – “Peeled Paint”, “Stormy Sky”, “Tea Dye”, & “Seedless Preserves”

Nuvo Glitter Drops – “White Blizzard”

Gina K “Wreath Builder” template

My next card I struggled with.  I just wasn’t sure how I was going to put it together.  I started by stamping out the “Cling Jellyfish” from Stampendous and using my Scan n’ Cut to cut it out.  I then took the “Tumbled Glass” Distress Oxide ink and shaded the whole the jellyfish.  Then, I took the “Carved Pumpkin” and pressed the ink pad into an acrylic block to use as a paint pallet.  I then painted the jelly fish in “Carved Pumpkin” and highlighted the circles with the “White Blizzard” Nuvo Glitter Drops.  I then cut a card base 4”x 5.25” and “double stamped or 2nd generation stamping” the jellyfish (inking the image and stamping once on scrap paper and then stamping a second time on the card base).  Lastly, I cut a card base 4.25”x 5.5” and shaded with the “Carved Pumpkin” Distress Oxide ink.  Once all of this was done, I used foam squares to pop the jelly fish and assembled the card.

Here is what I created:
