July 29th, 2023 - You Are Loved Clear Stamp Set CLR282

 

Hi friends! I cannot believe we are almost to the end of July already! Time flies when you're having FUN! Tia here with you from RockyMtnCraftia.com. This is my last Christmas in July card, but I'll keep working on those holiday cards until the beginning of December. 

Yesterday my lovely teammate Teresa Cashion from Lollipots 'N' Polkadots, posted a beautiful card where she also featured the 'You Are Loved' stamp set. It's just such a beautiful and versatile set-truly a MUST HAVE!!! 

I am here showing another take with this clear stamp set. Today, I focused more on the sentiment that comes with the set because it is just so lovely. From the Book of Matthew 6:26- "Look at the birds of the air; they do not stow away in barns. Yet your Heavenly Father feeds them."

To keep the focus on the sentiment, I used a clever card sketch from Cards By Kendra. This is sketch #12 from Kendra's Card Challenge #10. (P.S. she has a new challenge going on now!)

I embossed the sentiment, so in person it's all shiny and raised! I fussy cut the "parent & child" birds from the set and placed them on both sides to draw you into the sentiment. And of course this is all added onto some beautiful holiday papers from my fav. Echo Park for an A2 sized card.

A clean and simple Christmas card made lickety-split! This is a great card idea for making multiples of cards to mail out!

Thanks so much for checking in with us today! I hope you've been inspired by my Christmas in July cards and the whole team! The best part is you can revisit the blog all year long for these cards! 

Now, time to get warmed up for August and shhhhhh-a NEW RELEASE?!?! Stay tuned!

And GO GET CRAFTY!

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

Friday June 2, 20023 Ham Camper CLR068 & Die PPRS-D068

 

Hello Friends! Hello lazy days of Summer! Tia here from RockyMtnCraftia.com, sharing with you an iconic image of Summer-the Ham Camper!

Not too long ago I had a great laugh with friends over this name-"Ham Camper". It's named so because of the shape-it's shaped like a hunk-a-ham! And hysterics ensued! Crafty friends really are the BEST!

My card layout is from Kendra's Card Challenge #10. And this is sketch #5. Challenge 10 is wrapping up June 30th, so if you want in on the fun and PRIZES (Prickley Pear Stamps is a Prize Sponsor!) head over and check it out! Cards By Kendra-Kendra's Card Challenges.

The card is A2 sized. I used an embossing folder for the cloud background and design paper from Echo Park. I stamped and die cut my Ham Camper after coloring with Copics. The used Prickley Pear's Scallop Circle Nesting - Die Set PPRS-D041 for the yellow background shape to adhere the camper to. And a big Hello die to welcome all the fun of Summer!

Thanks for stopping in! I hope you have some fun Summer travels planned! Stay safe and when you can-

May 18, 2023 Build A Bird-2 CLR003A

 Hello Friends! Tia here from RockyMtnCraftia.com. I've been gone for a bit (busy remodeling the design studio!) We've had SO much rain over the last week that I just had to make a card to cheer myself up! 

I created a card last month using one of the incredible sketches from Kendra's Card Challenge #10 and the Build-A-Bird-2 stamp set from the Prickley Pear Stamp store. It was so much fun, that I decided to do it again, and flip the card-the way it was sketched!

I embossed my bird with primary red-WOW embossing powder. Using some COPICS to color the bird and match with the wood design paper background. I used one of fellow teammate- Kim Kreates, loopy bows under the bird for some texture. Then decided to stamp my sentiment on a leftover piece of scrap paper and cut it out freehand!

I kept my design vertical as sketch #8 was originally set up as. But, as a reminder-here's the card I did last month where I flipped it-vertically. Love the versatility of these sketches and all the different bird stamps in this set!

I hope that you have a beautiful remainder of your day and thank you so much for stopping by and following along with me! Until next time...

Go-Get-Crafty!
