There is always room for cake

18th June, 2021

Hi everyone, I have returned today using the Party Mouse stamp set from Crafty Purple Frog.

Lets go...

This is another half cheat for me as I already had the images stamped, coloured and cut out begging to be turn into a creation (I had also embossed the icing on the cupcakes too). As norml I stamp in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colour in Spectrum Noir Tri-Blends or Copic markers, however you can use any markers you have or pencils too. I decided to us ethe cheese background that I made using the top of the mushroom stencil from an earlier post. I chose and stamped my sentiment on white card and layered on black gloss card stock which I already had.

In my normal way I went ahead and laid everything out on my card until I was happy with the layout, I popped up some images on foam pads and glued some flat to give some partial dimension. I think this Party Mouse is saying I love cheese but there is always time for cake. After looking at it I decided to bulk out the cake with some little cake clay embelishments I had in my stash.

I hope you enjoyed this card and the use of combining stencils and stamps.

Happy Crafting

Thorn and leaf stencils - Crafty Purple Frog

11th June, 2021

Hi there, today I am using the Thorn and Leaf stencils from Crafty Purple Frog and how they can be used together.

To start you can use the thorn stencil alone which I think also can look like naked trees.

You can also use them in conjunction with the leaf stencil and the Flowers and Berries stamp set to add leaves to the thorny bits, I tend to use Distress Oxides for blending with stencils because that is my medium of choice however you can use what you feel comfortable with. so in the photo belox I am showing the following from left to right -

Thorns on their own
Thorns with leaves on using Distress Oxides and them some have been stamped over with Memento Tuxedo Black ink using the outline of the oak leaf from the Flowers and Berries stamp set
The Thorns with leaves stamped on using both the solid and outline oak leaf, for these I used VersaFine Clair inks
The last one is again the Thorns but instead of leaves I have used the solid and outline berries stamped using VersaFine Clair inks.

I will eventually use all of these background pieces to make other cards with. Go have fun messing around with your stencils.

Happy Crafting

Happy Birthday Dude

4th June, 2021

Hi everyone, today I am back with Foxy from Crafty Purple Frog, apart from loving the Foxy Stamp Set, I do think he lends himself to a man, gents or in this case dudes card.

Ok so this card was relatively quick for me as I had already got all my images stamped and coloured from another card I made with this stamp set, I tend to do this as you can keep the extra images for other projects and can save time when you need a card now!! I stamped all my images in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and coloured them all with Spectrum Noir Tri-Blend markers. Please see the supplies list below as the images came from all over but goes to show how well you can mix and match the Crafty Purple Frog releases together.

In further preparation I cut some grass out usingthe Grassy Lass dies from Heffy Doodle and placed them on my card ready. I dressed the fox using wet glue to adhere them firlmy.

I then started to complete my layout as I wanted it to be and started to stick things down, some with dimension and some without, I then decided to switch up fonts for the sentiments, using the Heffy Doodle happy die. I cut it 3 times from white card and once from glossy black and layered them together for dimension.

I forgot to stamp birthday dude from the Happy Birthday Everyone stamp set on my grass but luckily using my stampin platform and several inkings I got a crisp image.
