The Cutest Rainy Day with Samantha

- Nancy Krueger 1 Comment

Samantha‘s Rub-A-Dub-Dub ducks are enjoying the cutest rainy day! It’s adorable inspiration for our What’s the Weather challenge!

Samantha created a sweet card featuring the Rub-A-Dub-Dub ducks playing in a puddle on a rainy day! I love that they are using the Dandy Day dandelion flowers as umbrellas, that is just too cute!

To set the scene she started with Rainy Backdrop: Landscape and Mushroom Border. Then she added clouds and grass from Meadow Backdrop: Portrait and finished with a sweet and scripty Hello Border greeting!

Thank you for this adorable inspiration today, Samantha!

The What’s the Weather challenge will be open until Sunday, February 14 at 11:59PM ET so you still have time to get your weather-themed entries added to the challenge gallery. We can’t wait to see what you create!

Wishing you a wonderful weekend! Hope it’s filled with lots of crafty fun!

Awesome Autumn Inspiration with Samantha!

- Nancy Krueger 1 Comment

Samantha is here today to share an awesome slimline card for our new Awesome Autumn challenge! She created a long scene for a long sentiment!

Samantha used Large Slimline with Sliders to die cut a tall panel and blended Distress Oxide inks in Tumbled Glass, Wilted Violet, Blueprint Sketch, Mermaid Lagoon and Peacock Feathers. She added some dimension by sprinkling water to react with the oxide ink to leave random droplets.

She stamped and colored with Zig markers images from Into the Woods, Dandy Day, Really High Five, Super Star, A Bug Deal, You’re Just My Type and Love Poems. She arranged the images and attached them with foam tape.

The timely sentiment was white embossed on Black Licorice cardstock using Harold’s ABCs. Samantha trimmed the words into strips and popped them up on the card with foam tape. As a finishing touch, she added a bit of sparkle to the acorns with Prisma glitter!

Thanks so much for inspiring us today, Samantha!

We hope you are enjoying the change of season’s! Happy crafting!

Jessica’s S’more Friends Like You Card

- Nancy Krueger 2 Comments

Good morning! Jess here with a CAS (clean and simple) card for our current Fun with Food challenge!

To start I masked off a panel of Strathmore Bristol smooth cardstock with painter’s tape and then blended spun sugar, picked raspberry, and abandoned coral distress oxide ink across the panel. I removed the painter’s tape and stamped the sentiment and hearts from Sweet Friends with Versafine and heat-embossed them with clear embossing powder. The hearts are outlines so I colored them in with a black Copic marker to get the solid hearts.

Next I stamped the s’more from Sweet Friends and the mice from Dandy Day onto white cardstock with Versafine and heat-embossed them with clear embossing powder. I colored them with Copic markers and then die-cut them with the coordinating dies. I arranged them on the panel and adhered them with a mix of regular adhesive and foam mounting tape to finish the card. I love how the one mouse looks like he’s getting ready to take a bite! 🙂

And that’s it! You have one more weekend to get crafty and I can’t wait to see what you’ll create! Thanks so much for stopping by and have a fabulous weekend!

The Fun with Food challenge will be open until Sunday, July 19th at 11:59PM ET.
