Scrapping for Less & Newton’s Nook Designs and Echo Park Paper

Good Morning and Happy Wednesday!  Today I am on the Scrapping for Less blog to share with you THREE different cards using Newton’s Nook Designs “Lake Advice” stamp set & “Picnic Blanket” stencil by Echo Park Paper Co.!

 Here is what I created:  

These cards were inspired by video that Jennifer McGuire posted about a week ago.  I used my Gina K 4”x 4” wreath builder template with the Ranger Distress Oxide inks and stenciled the corners of the cards.  Next, I cut I cut 4.25”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:

Always Fun Challenges #115 - Punny

Good Morning and Happy Monday!  Sometimes in life you need a break.  I took a much needed 3 week break from all of my design teams.  I feel refreshed and ready to create! 

Today is a start of a new challenge from Always Fun Challenges.  This week’s theme is “Punny!” The challenge will run from today, Monday, June 17th to Saturday, June 23rd. 

Here is my inspiration for you: 

Urban Dictionary defines the word “Punny” as “a play on words for the word “funny”.  It is a pun in itself. 

 With this definition I knew I wanted to use a Lawn Fawn stamp set.  To me, Lawn Fawn screams “Punny”.  I decided on the mini stamp set “So Jelly”.  I used my Jaded Blossom card mat die and cut the base.  Then I used the star image and I free hand stamped a background.  I then stamped the start on another piece of paper and took my Tim Holtz distress blender tool and “colored” the star.  Then, I fussy cut it out.  Here is a trick to get rid of the white on your fussy cut images, use a dark colored copic, I used C7, and shade the edge! 

Next, I used a pop dot for dimension.  I then took another piece of white scrap paper and cut out the dimensional banner.  I placed the cut-out piece back into the paper and I used the Tim Holz distress blender tool to “color” the banner.  I didn’t like the dimension of the banner, so I snipped the ends and used more pop dots!  I then grabbed a card base and shaded the edges with the “carved pumpkin” in and glued everything down!  Below is a list of what I used with links on where to purchase!

Here is what I used:

Lawn Fawn “So Jelly” Stamp set

Ranger Distress Oxide “Tumbled Glass” and “Carved Pumpkin” inks

 Jaded Blossom
