ANNND we have arrived at release day! We are featuring one more new stamp set for the month Happy H-owl-idays!

Here is one of the owls all colored up with Copics. I chose to do this little guy in a no-line coloring stile. I stamped the image in light pink then colored right up to and over the lines with my Copics making them disappear. Here are the colors I used.

Here is a close up of the coloring.

I love a good Santa hat! I brought a few papers already precut and a couple coordinating embellishment sets and the cards you are seeing with this release are all from that and a wonky set of random scissors ha ha! Here is the full card.

Hello Krafty friends! I am playing along with Kimmie this month and today the adorable Gnomes are getting ready for the holidays! I stamped up some light untangling for my creative session. I colored her up with some Copics, her are the colors I used.

I colored her up then added my usual suspects of a few layers of paper and a couple embellishments.

I am actually sitting in Barrow Alaska currently and I am making do with VERY limited supplies so sorry if you notice a few wonky edges he he. For the foreseeable future I will be no place longer than about 5-6 weeks and shorter so bear with me as life looks a lot different. Thanks as always for stopping by and supporting me!

Have a Happy Colorful Day!

PS. You can see everything up close in the Live Release Replay on Facebook!!

Wanted to share another card featuring the set. I started by sketching a bookcase around a few of the stamps with a pencil and small ruler.

I added ink since the stamp lines are black making sure that the ink is Copic compatible since I knew I was going to color with Copic.

Here are the Copics I used. I only used singular colors on the books. They are just small and I had a lot going so the coloring stayed simpler on this card.

And of course the finished card. The image was almost the full size of the card front so some simple layers to complete.

Hope you are finding a few Krafty treats that inspire creativity. Thanks for continually stoping by and inspiring me.

Have a Happy Colorful Day!

Day 2 Krafty Peeks!

 Welcome back to Day TWO of our August Krafty Peeks!

Are you excited about what you’ve seen so far!?  Are you ready for more?

I hope your answer was yes because we’ve got more fabulous fun for you today!

The stamp set we are ‘peeking’ for you today is from 
artist Sabrina van Vloten
 and it’s called…..

 

STORYTELLERS!

This set has amazing and magical friends, sharing their love of reading – with so many fabulous sentiments!! 

 Check out STORYTELLERS! and our new stencils in so many awesome creations today as you hop around the Krafty Team’s blogs!  

You’ll see more of our August goodies all week, and then everything will be released after our LIVE Online Release Party on Saturday at 2 pm ET in the Krafty Friends facebook group!   

For now, check out all the fantastic goodness in today’s hop!

I created a very simple bookmark with the Storytellers set. I love all these little magical creatures. I colored up with a small group of Copics. Sorry I did not record the colors I used, but if someone wants my best guess give me a shout in comments or through email and I will see what I can do.

An upgrade to the bookmark would have been to add a layer of stiffer cardstock and then a pattern paper backing.

Tomorrow is the last day of release week AND all the August goodies will be in the shop. Thank you for stopping by!

Have a Happy Colorful Day!

Playing with the new “Lost In A Book” stamp set and my Copics today. I used three stamps and on of the sentiments. to create the scene. I created a simple table top creating a wood texture on the lower 2/3 of the frame. Here are the Copics I pulled for the image.

I tried to keep the image coloring very simple with the small stamps and added more interest with the woodgrain. Here is a closer look.

And the completed layered card.

Thank you as always for spending a few moments here on my blog!

Have a Happy Colorful Day!
