Farm Truck Animals CLR069B & Dies PPRS-DO69

 

Happy Fall Friends! Tia here with you from RockyMtnCraftia.com I love Fall and "sweater-weather"! and creating Fall themed cards! Today's DT-creation is taking a break from all the spooky and getting down to the best part of the season-the gorgeous changing colors of the leaves! 

Who better to enjoy a drive in the country then all the animals from the farm! The Farm Truck Animals stamp set is crazy adorable and I can already imagine a zillion zany card creations with it! And please don't forget BOTH coordinating die sets! The Farm Animals Die and the Truck Die.

I also highlighted my animal TRIO by die cutting a piece of green gingham paper with the Scallop Circle Nesting Die Set.

I've just started focusing on using more design paper in my cards! I have too many stacks of old paper (more than I can probably use in this lifetime!) and it's time to splurge! This was a pack of papers themed Seasons from Jo-Ann stores. I selected several of the matching designs and created my card around using all of them. 

After stamping, coloring and die cutting out the Farm Truck & Animals, I popped them up with foam tape and adhered to my die-cut scalloped circle. I chose green to break the scene up (getting a bit orange) and I loved the one falling green leaf.

I also popped the orange banner up and love that it created a canopy over the truck! It turned out to be a larger card than I usually create being a bit odd-ball at 5.25 x 6in.  But sometimes the card just calls for more space! 

Thanks for following along with me! I hope your inspired to create some Fall-scenery cards too! If you do make sure to share them over on the group Facebook page.

May 29, 2023 Birthday Banners-CLR062D & Build A Cupcake-CLR059

 

Hello Friends! Tia here from RockyMtnCraftia.com back with more Birthday Banner fun! I really liked the look of my no-line coloring on the last Birthday Banner card I made, so I came back with it again. This time I paired the banners with the yummy Build A Cupcake set!

What I LOVE most about both of these sets is FIRST-they both have DIES! Save yourself some time and frustration and both of these matching dies!!! SECOND-there are additional sets to match those dies! The Banners set comes in Christmas, Halloween, Valentine's and Easter. The Build A Cupcake also has Christmas, Valentines and Fall themed cupcake sets that match the SAME die! This is how you stretch you collection!

Okay, let's get into today's card. I began with an A2 sized card base. I selected birthday paper from my stash. I created a bold frame using Onyx cardstock and a scalloped die. 

I selected the birthday banners-balloons and cupcakes and decided to stamp my sentiment (from the banner set) on a banner. Once again, I stamped everything with Hero Arts Contour Ink which is designed for no-line coloring. 

After building my cupcake, these are the COPIC colors I selected to color everything in.

COPIC SELECTION:

Cupcake Frosting: WO; E50; YR30 and E57; E29

                Wrapper: BG15; BG07;Y13; YR14

Yellow:Y13; Y15; Y17

Orange:YR14; YR68

Red: R35; R46; R37

Fine Lines with: Staedtler Triplus Fineliner: Bright Yellow; Orange, Red, Teal, Light Gray

Lastly, I adhered the base of the banners to the card front, while popping the ends with foam tape. I also adhered the cupcake with foam tape on top of the edges. 

Another fun and fast card that will really show your excitement to celebrate! So until you do...

Go-Get-Crafty!
