Wednesday June 14th, 2023 Ham Camper CLR068 & Die PPRS-D068

 

Woot Woo Wednesday Campers! We are one week away from the official start of Summer! Crafty Camp counselor Tia here from RockyMtnCraftia.com ready to create more memories with the Ham Camper stamp and die set!

I used design paper from Carta Bella's Botanical Garden pack and coordinated my colors from there. I don't use stencils a lot, but always good to create outside of your comfort zone.

I selected coordinating ink colors (I used inks from Pink Fresh Studios) and a stencil from The Crafters Workshop (Barberry Buds) to create a fun fresh background. 

For quick card design, I utilized one of Kendra's Card Challenge sketches (#10-sketch 5). I love Prickley Pear Stamps Scallop Circle Nesting - Die Set PPRS-D041, and utilized it for the base of the Ham Camper.

I love that with the Ham Camper stamp set, you can mix and match design elements and make dozens of different camper looks! I achieved the diamond plate metal look by using a silver metallic gel pen on the hatch marks. The flowers and awning I popped up with foam tape, along with a sentiment from the stamp set.

Thanks for following along friends! Get over to the Prickley Pear store and grab those Summer goodies and then get outside and 

Go-Get-Crafty!

May 3, 2023 - Spring Flourish Ovals - CLR003

 Hi Prickley Pear Fans!  DT Kim here with you today!  I can't believe May is already here, but I am so happy to see that spring has arrived!  I love seeing the grass plumping up and the flowers beginning to bloom!  Do you have a favorite thing about spring? 

I recently participated in a fun LIVE crafting session with some of my favorite friends, celebrating Prickley Pear and Kendra's Card Challenge!  Did you know that Prickley Pear is a sponsor of Kendra's Card Challenges?    My crafty friends, @LVHandcrafted and @RockyMountainCraftTia all selected sketches from Kendra's latest challenge and paired them with our favorite Prickley Pear items and crafted live on YouTube.  It was so much fun! 

I chose the beautiful Spring Flourish Ovals to pair with Sketch # 2.  I did some very simple coloring, of the image and used the Flourish Oval Die to cut it out. I also used the Flourish Oval Nesting Dies to die-cut some borders for the focal image.

I really love this sketch, as it is so simple but some small details make it really stand out!  You probably don't know this, but I spent a few years in Australia, and I love ALL things related to that amazing country!  When I saw this gorgeous paper with Proteas (the National flower of Australia) all over it, I knew I wanted to use it.  

I paired it with some coordinating cardstock colors, and I dry-embossed the main panel using a folder from my stash. 

Lastly, I added a loopy bow and some beautiful rhinestone embellishments! 

I hope you love this card as much as I do!   Thank you so much for spending a few minutes of your day with me!  Make sure to head to the shop and check out the Flourish Oval Collection!  There is something for every occasion! 

Xoxo, Kim
