Autumn Background

Autumn Blessings

Thanks Word With Shadow SugarCut

And here’s what I came up with for you today! Quite simple project featuring heat embossing technique and some simple ink blending! To start, I inked a piece of Bristol paper with Twisted Citron, Peeled Paint and Moved Lawn Distress inks and the blending brushes, trying to get an ombré effect. I heat set well the ink and then heat embossed on top Autumn Background stamp using a fine white embossing powder. I die cut the achieved pattern with new just released yesterday Card Front Elements 3 SugarCut and then popped the squares on an extended A2 size white card base (5 1/2″ X 4 1/4″) made from Neenah Solar White paper.

Next I stamped two tiny pumpkins from Autumn Blessings set with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and heat embossed “Give Thanks” sentiment on a piece of a black cardstock. I fussy cut all the elements with my sharp small scissors, leaving a little edge around. The pumpkins were colored with copic markers and then popped on a foam tape along with the heat embossed sentiment. A few matching sequins added a finish touch to this card.

And here’s all the exact colors used by me on this project: COPIC MARKERS YR09-YR16-Y17-Y15; YG09-YG17-YG03-YG01.

Miss You Card (ft. Purple Onion Designs)

Hello and welcome!!!

I’ve popped in with cute and simple card featuring a few of my favorite stamps from Purple Onion Designs illustrated by super talented Stacey Yacula!

SALE ALLERT! Don’t miss a chance to grab your favorite stamps from Purple Onion Designs at a discounted price! The anniversary sale will end on Monday, August 24th. All stamps will be 25% off (with a few exclusions: Together Stamp Set & Sandy Allnock’s class stamp bundles).

The project, I created today, is very easy to recreate. To start, I stamped on Strathmore Bristol paper with waterproof VersaFine Onyx Black ink the adorable Zoey (Bunny Reading), the Lantern String, and a piece of Grassy Shore stamp. I colored all the stamped images with water based Tombow markers, making the blending with the small waterbrush from Pentel. Next I fussy cut all the elements with my sharp small scissors, leaving a little white edge around and proceeded with the background.

I took a piece of inexpensive Bristol paper that I had in my stash since this type of paper has a smooth surface that makes the ink blending very easy and inked the sky through the edge of Newton’s Nook Designs Clouds stencil with Spun Sugar, Seedless Preserves and Wilted Violet Distress inks using the blending brushes. Then I flicked a few tiny droplets of a shimmer spray and some white splotches using a plain white gouache. An extended A2 size white card base (5 1/2″ x 4 1/4″) was created from Neenah Solar White paper along with the additional slightly smaller faux stitched rectangle with the die cut circle window in the center. Assembling all the elements together, I glued the sky directly to the card base and them popped the additional white rectangle on top using a foam tape for a bit of dimension. Then I arranged the colored elements and finished with the sentiment stamped from Everyday Blurbs set.

And here’s the complete list of all the markers used by me on this project: N79, 055, 173, 177, 452, 676, 723.

Hope you like this sweet and cute card!!! As always thanks so much for stopping by!

Hugs,
Tatiana

Just Beecause Card (ft. SugarPea Designs)

July 28, 2020July 20, 2020 Tatiana2 Comments

Hello and welcome!

I’m super excited to be featured on SugarPea Designs blog!!! Today I mixed and matched a few different stamp and dies and paired them on a cute and simple card with a bit of summer vibes and sunshine!

To start, I die cut some honey combs using Stacked Honeycombs SugarCut from Tim Holtz Watercolor Cardstock since it’s white and works great with Distress inks. I prepared an extended A2 size (5 1/2″ X 4 1/4″) white card base from Neenah Solar White paper and arranged the die cuts on the card front. I inked some combs with Squeezed Lemonade, Mustard Seeds and Fossilized Amber Distress inks and the blending brushes. I also added some tiny droplets both to the card base and the honey combs using Vintage Photo Distress ink and a plain white gouache to add more interest to the pattern. Before popping the honey combs on a foam tape, I simply stamped the matching sentiment from Hey Honey stamp set with Memento Tuxedo Black ink using my MISTI tool.

The beautiful flowers and leaves were die cut from Floral Pocket Tag SugarCut. I worked on some scraps of a white cardstock and then added colors with Shaded Lilac, Wilted Violet, Twisted Citron and Moved Lawn Distress inks using again he blending brushes. The cutest bees come from Hey Honey stamp set that I used before for the sentiment. I helped myself with the coordinating Hey Honey SugarCut to die cut quickly a few bee shapes and then stamped the bodies with Hero Arts Butter Bar dye ink. Finally I added the black stripes and wings to the bees using Memento Tuxedo Black ink and started arranging all the die cuts on the card front. A few clear sparkling sequins finished this cute and lovely project.

That’s all for today! Hope this cheerful and cute summer card will inspire you! As always thanks so much for stopping by and have a great day!!!

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
