NEW Patriotic Stamp Sets from Crafter's Companion

We have MORE NEW GOODIES over at Crafter's Companion USA! Two brand new EZ-Mount Patriotic Stamp Sets! YAY!

Here's a card I made using stamps from both of the new sets: 4th of July and Independence Day.

 

These new sets are PERFECT for all year long...not just 4th of July. They will be great to use birthdays, thank you cards, summer theme, New Years and even Christmas! I'll be using the banner stamps with sentiments from other sets as well! SCORE!

I colored the images with Spectrum Noir Markers as follows:

• Red - PP3, CR5, DR4, DR6
• Blue - TB4, Blender
• Yellow - CT1, CT3, GB6

Stamping Tips: 

Apply ink to only the firecracker, leaving the string and burst uninked. Now you can stamp the 3 star sentiment image on top instead. This is a great way to get more designs from your stamps!

Another fun idea with the stars is to change up the text in the stars. Just don't ink the centers of that part of the stamp image, and you're left with a blank center to customize as you wish!

Crafter's Companion USA on HSN

I'm super excited about the 24-Hour Crafting Event happening on HSN! Sara Davies, the founder of Crafter's Companion, will be on the show and sharing LOADS of Crafter's Companion US goodies. You don't wanna miss the show - Today, Wednesday Oct. 7, 2015. Click HERE to see Sara's show times.

Here's another project I made for the show.

I used my Ultimate Tool along with cardstock from the the Timeless Paper Pack. All the paper elements and accessories are digi's that I printed from the papercrafting CD-ROM which is included with the NEW EXCLUSIVE Crafter's Inspiration Magazine. Yep...a special magazine from Crafter's Companion USA just for HSN. Isn't that cool?! I'm extra excited about this magazine because I have a section in it! WOOP WOOP!
 

After I cut out all the digi printed elements, I sponged the edges with distress ink to finish them. I turned the luggage tag into a shaker window. I also added a ribbon around the card to tie it closed.
 

I designed the inside of the card with a center step out, and decorated with and more of the printed digi elements.
 

A few scattered sequins added a bit of shine and bling to the inside really added depth without bulk. I love that!


Don't miss a moment of Sara on the 24-Hour Crafting Day at HSN. She has TONS of design ideas to share using all the products being featured on the show. I'm not sure what time...but at some point on the show she and is going to demo how to make some of the projects! Record the show if you can...and watch it again later.



Have a crafty day!

Edge'ables Reindeer Dance

Hey there! The NEW Edge'ables Christmas Fancy Borders Dies are NOW AVAILABLE over at Crafter's Companion USA

I used the new Reindeer Dance Edge'ables Die on my card.

After die-cutting and embossing the reindeer border die, I added crystal glitter to some of the areas. A few red rhinestones on the snowflakes too. See how sparkly it is... all the great embossed detail?!!! LOVE

The sentiment is stamped and heat embossed white. I printed the PERFECT digi patterned paper from the new Nordic Christmas CD-ROM. It's soooo nice to be able to print papers anytime I need them. I totally recommend buying it!
 
Hope you are having a wonderful day,

Nordic Christmas Release Day!

YAY! I am SUPER excited to announce that TODAY is the day the NEW Nordic Christmas Collection is being released over at Crafter's Companion USA! Go check out all the goodies HERE.

I made this card using the New Nordic Christmas - Christmas Cheer Stamp Set and the Nordic Christmas Papercrafting CD-ROM.

All the patterned papers are printed from the CDROM. I used Crafter's Companion Die'sire Scalloped Tags Die Set to diecut the white tag, embossed it with a New Frosty Morning 6"x6" Embossing Folder, then added crystal glitter and ribbons. The heart is diecut and embossed from Die'sire Hearts Die Set from the digi papers, then sponged distress in around the edges.

The deer is colored with Spectrum Noir Pencils. I stamped the deer again on a piece of the digi paper that I printed on white cardstock from the CD-ROM. I trimmed out the hat, scarf, boots and blanket and paper pieced them on the deer. For added dimension, I did some shading on the pieces with colored pencils. The white parts have white Fun Flock added with a tiny sprinkle of crystal glitter. The red bulbs on the light string are colored with red glitter pen and covered with dimensional glaze.Then little star on the end of the light string is covered with golden yellow glitter.

Spectrum Noir Blendable Colored Pencils: 102, 101, 094, 088, 003, 026, 015

Nordic Christmas Sneak Peek

Time again for a Crafter's Companion USA Sneak Peek! We are getting ready to release the most adorable Christmas series! OH MY...just wait till you see all the festive goodies in this collection!!

Here's a peek at one of the new stamp sets - Cool Christmas

Oh what FUN it is! This card can be used to tuck in a gift card or certificate, cash or check, pictures, etc. I printed my own double-sided cardstock from the digi papers and elements that are on the NEW Nordic Christmas Papercrafting CD-ROM. THUD!

I confess, in the past, I haven't been much of a "digi" crafter. But over the last year, I've actually started to love it. I mean REALLY love it! All the stuff that comes on a CD or DVD just blows my mind! Let's just say I'll be printing all my gift tags this year. The Nordic Christmas Papercrafting CD contains much more than just standard stuff for Christmas cardmaking; you’ll be able to create loads of festive items, including fun table decorations, tags, trinket boxes and more!

I stamped the snowman with Memento Gray Flannel Dye Ink and did some simple coloring with Spectrum Noir Markers. The sentiment is stamped with Love Letter Memento Luxe Ink. Some crystal glitter and clear sequins added sparkle and shine.

Spectrum Noir Markers:

• Reds - CR3, CR7
• Soft Shading on Snow and Hat - IG1

Here's the front of the card.

 I tied with a piece of gray jute around the card to keep it closed.

Stay tuned! The entire collection is being released...very soon! Hint Hint: More sneak peeks on the other design team members blogs and Crafter's Companion US Facebook Page.
