Card For The SugarPea Designs Mix It Up Challenge #69

July 23, 2020 Tatiana1 Comment

Hello and welcome!

Today is my turn to get you inspired for the SugarPea Designs monthly Mix It Up Challenge! I came up with a fresh summer card featuring Mermaid Kisses stamp set!

In case you want to play along, as well, here’s how you can do that: you have all month to play along and make a project using just the inspiration, just the sketch or Mix it Up and use both! It is totally up to you! You can find all the rules at SugarPea blog right here!!!

I kept it really simple today! To start, I used the coordinating Mermaid Kisses SugarCut to die cut the elements I needed for this project from Neenah Solar White paper. Then I made the stamping using Mermaid Kisses stamp set, Memento Tuxedo Black ink and MISTI tool. I colored all the stamps with copic markers and proceeded working on the background..

In case you’re interested, I’m leaving here all the exact colors used on the card: COPIC skin E50-E51-E53-E55; hair R32-R14-R35-R46-R89; BG10-BG11-BG23-BG49; YG01-YG05-YG07-G07; C2.

The background was embellished with faux dots by using the largest rectangle die from Card Front Element Builder II set. I masked a circle towards the left part of the card front with a piece of masking paper and inked the wavy water background inside the circle with Mermaid Lagoon Oxide, Blueprint Sketch Oxide Distress inks and the blending brushes. The waves were added by using the cloud edge of Outdoor Scene Builder Stencil. Finally I split the matching sentiment from Mermaid Kisses stamp set with a pair of sharp small scissors, heat embossed it on two narrow strips of a black cardstock and arranged all the elements on an extended A2 size card base with a bit of dimension. I generous coat of a clear shimmer pen gave a final touch to this card!

Hope you like this clean and simple card! Now it’s your turn to link up your creations for a chance to win a $50 Gift Certificate from SugarPea Designs! Can’t wait to see what you create!!! Thanks so much for stopping by and have a wonderful day!!!

Hugs,
Tatiana

Beach Or Bust Card For The SugarPea Designs Mix It Up Challenge #68

June 17, 2020 Tatiana2 Comments

Hello and welcome!

Today is my turn to get you inspired for the SugarPea Designs monthly Mix It Up Challenge! I came up with a fresh and bright summer card featuring Hey Summer stamp set!

Today my card turned out clean and simple! To start, I used Hey Summer SugarCut and Neenah Solar White paper to die cut all the elements I needed for the project. Next I used my MISTI tool and Memento Tuxedo Black ink for stamping the open images from Hey Summer stamp set. I used a pencil to add a striped pattern to the bear’s swimming trunks and scarf and then colored everything with copic markers. Later I traced the added lines with copic multiliner.

In case you’re interested, I’m leaving here all the exact colors used on the card: COPIC T0-T1-T3; Y0000-Y11-Y13-Y17-Y18; B000-B00-BG02-BG45; RV00-RV10.

The Waves background was inked with Peacock Feather Distress ink on a piece of the watercolor cardstock. I added some water droplets and a few white splotched for some interest. All the elements were assembled on an extended A2 size white card base with a bit of dimension. Finally I die cut a dotted banner from Envelope Liner SugarCut where I heat embossed the sentiment from the same Hey Summer stamp set and finished with a clear shimmer pen and a few clear sequins.

Hugs,
Tatiana

SugarPea Designs Sweet 2 Repeat Insta Hop

June 12, 2020 TatianaLeave a comment

Hi there Sugar Peeps!!!

It’s time again for the SugarPea Designs Sweet2Repeat Hop! This time we are hopping on Instagram! You can join the Design Team starting from my account @tatianacraftnadart.

There would be no perfect hop without prizes! Right?! SugarPea Designs are giving away TWO $25 Gift Certificates! So don’t miss a chance to win too!

On my stop for this hop I’m sharing some cuties from adorable Cottontail Cuties stamp set. I looooove so much all the small elements that allow to create sweet scenes. To start, I made all the die cutting using the coordinating Cottontail Cuties SugarCut. I worked on Neenah Solar White paper since it’s copic friendly and it’s also perfect as a card base. My MISTI tool came very handy for the stamping this time. I used the negative parts of the dies to help me with the alignment and managed to make multiple images in no-time. I chose Memento Tuxedo Black ink for stamping the open images from Cottontail Cuties stamp set since it’s meant to work with alcohol markers.

As always here’s the complete list of all the colors used here: COPIC YG00-YG01-YG05; YR02-YR04; E30-E31-E33; E40-E41-E43-E44; Y00-Y11-Y13-Y15-Y17; R00-R20-R22-R24; V01-V04; RV00-RV04-RV10-RV21-RV23; T0-T1-T3.

Outdoor Scene Builder Stencil is a perfect match for the cutest little elements from Outdoor Scene Builder Stencil. I used Distress inks and the blending brushes with a very light hand to add the sky background. In terms of colors I used Twisted Citron, Cracked Pistachio, Mermaid Lagoon and Blueprint Sketch Distress inks to create the outdoor scene on the background. I popped all the colored elements along with a heat embossed sentiment on a foam tape and finished with generous coat of a clear shimmer pen.

That’s all for today!!! As always thanks so much for stopping by and have a great day!!!

Hugs,
Tatiana

And here’s what I came up with for you today! A simple watercolor project that is entirely focused on the new wonderful Floral Envie stamp set. As usual, to start, I die cut the envelope and a few butterflies on Strathmore Bristol paper and then stamped the open images from Floral Envie stamp set with VersaFine Onyx Black ink. I used my MISTI tool and the negative parts of the dies to help me achieve a perfect alignment. I colored all the images using water based markers from Altenew Tropical Fiesta set plus n.055 and n.990 Tombow markers.

An extended A2 size kraft card base was embellished with beautiful Handwritten Letter pattern. I used a light brown ink for a soft tone-on-tone look.

Happy Word With Shadow SugarCut

And here’s what I came up with for you today! A super sweet and easy scene made with the cutest images from Happy Little Trees stamp set. To start, I die cut all the shapes from Happy Little Trees SugarCut on Strathmore Bristol paper, stamped the open images from Happy Little Trees stamp set with VersaFine Onyx Black ink and colored all the elements with water based markers!

Here’s the complete list of all the markers used on this project: TOMBOW N65, 025, 055, 090, 126, 133, 195, 452, 535, 725, 933, 942, 946, 969, 977, 990 plus ZIG Clean Colour Real Brush marker n.71 Flesh Colour.

An extended A2 size card front (5 1/2″ x 4 1/4″) made from Neenah Solar White paper was masked with a piece of Post-It tape. I inked the sky and ground portions through new just released yesterday Outdoor Scene Builder Stencil with Twisted Citron and Mermaid Lagoon Distress inks and my blending brushes. Next I very carefully cut in two the sentiment from Happy Little Trees stamp set using a pair of the sharp small scissors so that I can switch the stamped word “happy” to a bigger die cut one from new Happy Word With Shadow SugarCut. I stamped the sentiment using the same VersaFine Onyx Black ink used before for a perfect match and colored the die cut word “happy” with markers before adhering it to the card front. Finally I popped all the colored stamps with a bit of dimension and skipped any other embellishment.
