Craft Roulette 6th Anniversary Hop with Trinity Stamps


Hello friends!  Today I am participating in a Trinity Stamps YouTube Hop celebrating Craft Roulette's 6th Anniversary.  Six years - Wow!  Congratulations to Mary Funn Gunn and Craft Roulette.  

This parameters for this week are:

  • Project - Tri-fold Card
  • Colors - Garden
  • Element - Nursery
  • Random - Star(s) or Starry
I didn't have a lot of baby to pull from, but luckily the January release had a couple of baby themed stamps in the Nugs & Kisses Stamp Set.  There is also a coordinating die set.




I used Copic markers to color in my little nugget family in the following colors:

  • Y08, Y19, YR23 - Cheese Sauce
  • Y26, YR23, YR24 - Nuggets
  • R14, R27, R39 - Heart
The base of my card was cut to 8.5" x 5.5".  I scored it at 2.24", folded the 2" in and then butted the folded edge up to the left side of my Score Buddy.  I scored it again at 4.25" and folded the left side into the middle of the card.



I also used the stamp for the sentiment for the inside of the card.  The panels for the inside of the cards are cut to 4.0" x 5.25" and 3.75" x 5.0".  

I used the Simply Sentimental: Baby Stamp Set and the 5-Star Rating Stamp Set to make my own "patterned" paper for the front of the card.  Instead of using a colored embossing powder, I used a clear powder, which gave me the tone on tone.  

I cut the cardstock pieces for the side panels at; 2.0" x 5.25", 1.75" x 5.0" and 1.5" x 4.75".  Once they were cut, I glued the layers together.  

The medallion in the center of the belly band was cut using the Emergency Card Essentials #1. I used that die set to cut out the center piece and the trim on the band. I used the 5-Star Rating Stamp Set to stamp the stars on the band.  They were also heat embossed with clear embossing powder.

Oh my goodness, this card turned out so stinking cute!  It is such a break from the more traditional new baby card don't you think?

Happy Anniversary to Craft Roulette and I look forward to many more challenges is the future!

Cheers!

Love Moo!

 


Hi there!  This card is featured on the Crafty Stamp Instagram Hop today.  Of the cards I made for this release, this one was my favorite.  I love everything about this card, from the adorable Highland Cow to the colors of the patterned paper.  I may just have to keep this one.

For this card, I used the new Hielan Coos Stamp Set and the new Summer Lemon and Daises 6x6 Patterned Paper.  

I had colored both of the "Coos" but found that it make the card too cluttered in the center, so I just went with one, which really made it the focal point of the card.

I colored my little friend with Copic markers in the following colors:

  • YR21, YR23, YR24 - Body
  • YR30, E50, E51, E30, E31 -Head
  • E41, E81 - Horns
  • E13, E25 - Hooves
  • R01, R11 - Ears

For the background of this card, I shopped my stash and found a few dies that would tie the whole card together.  

I used a sentiment from the stamp set to finish up this card.

Jump on over to the Crafty Stamp Co shop and make sure you get both the stamp set and the patterned paper, you won't be disappointed.  

Thank you for stopping by today.

Positive Tate - Neuro Sparkle

 

Hello and happy Saturday.  Today I have an extra special card to share with you.  This card is the final card of Crafty Stamp Co's Inspiration Week.  

The stamp that I used to create this card is called, Positive Tate- Neuro Sparkle and the colorful paper is from the new Perfect Piece 6x6 Patterned Paper Pack.

Crafty Stamp Co created this stamp and patterned paper in support of Autism Awareness Month in April. They are donating 100% of the profits from this stamp set to the Autism Research Institute as part of their commitment to kindness, awareness, and community.


I used Copic markers to color in Tate in the following colors:

  • E21, E34, E13, E25 - Tate
  • YR16, YR07 - Orange
  • Y00, Y08 - Yellow
  • B02, B04 - Blue
  • R14, R29 - Red

I think I like the small sentiment at the bottom of the card the most.  It says so much.

I hope this fun and colorful card has inspired you to create a card of your own.

Thank you for stopping by today!

Bees & Honey

 


Hello!  Today I have another card from the new Crafty Stamp Co. release. This card was such a joy to make and I just love it.  It is the size of an A-2 card but it is kind of a drop down card.  


This stamp set is called Bees and Honey.  I colored my images to coordinate with the new 6x6 patterned paper called Buzy Bees.  

My honey jar and little bears are colored with the following Copic colors:

  • E50, W51, E31, E23, E57 - Bears
  • Y21, YR24, YR18 - Honey
  • BG10, BG13, BG57 - Jar Cloth, Outfits
  • B0000 - Wing Highlights
  • T0, T1, T2, T4 - Outfits
The sentiment is included in the stamp set.  I stamped it on white cardstock and then trimmed it out with a little of the patterned paper.

I love everything about this card.  

Thank you for stopping by and I hope you have an amazing day!
