Don't pop it! ~ The Card Hut

Good morning!

The design team is focusing on stamps from Hobby Art this week, but I recently had a brilliant idea to move and rearrange the stamps that I completely misplaced my stamps. An absolute "daft" move. And then I saw this The Card Hut stamp with Daft and Dotty and decided to use this one instead!

The Card Hut - A6 - Daft & Dotty

I used an already made gel print made with a Gel Press and acrylic paint and decided to use it as a fun background for this puppy!

I stamped and colored the balloons and used dimensional foam tape to adhere them to the print. 

Since the print was a bit busy, I used white texture paste with a stencil
 with circles to break up the color a bit.

I also placed a white frame on the print to position my little pup on.

 This was such an easy card to make with a fun leftover print that lived in my stash. Any pretty paper would work as well. 

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a great day!

Little Critters from The Card Hut

 Hi Everyone,

Cornelia here today! 

This week it's anything goes, so I decided to use this fun stamp set from The Card Hut called Little Critters. their stamps are hilarious! Go and check them out.

I figured a slim line format is the way to go here. I used stitched dies from Heffy Doodle. I first stamped the 3 squirrels, masked the bottom one a little and then stamped the stand and the squirrel with the taco. Added the birdfeeder on top and hung it onto a branch (Katzelkraft).  I colored everything with water brush pens and markers. Did some sponging around the edges in the end - probably better to do that first....The bigger base card is Kraft Paper, that I also sponged with the same colors.

I hope you liked this. Thanks for visiting. 

See you next week with more Topflight Stamps inspiration.

And here are the stamp supplies I used:

Greetings! It's Kathi here on a Saturday to share a project with you. But first, I want to remind you that Topflight Stamps is holding a Moving Sale, so you really ought to pop over there right now to check out all the wonderful products that you can get! Think of it as your good deed for the day. You'll help the store by lessening the amount of stuff that needs to be moved. So it'll be a win for you and a win for Topflight Stamps!

Time to move onto my card. As you might now, I'm a crazy cat lady, What you don't know is that I have a bit of a mouse problem. They get into the house, the cats hunt them, play with them, and I end up having to deal with the result. So, when I saw the Playing Cat and Mouse Clear Set by The Card Hut,  I had to have it. It has cats. It has mice. It has mice turning the tables on the cats. Brilliant!

Here's my card, that I'll likely sent to a fellow cat lady. 

I chose the mice with the hose and the wettest looking cat, then stamped them onto white cardstock. The mice, cat, and grass were colored with Copic markers. The sky was added with palette chalk, some of which was shimmery. 

The smaller of the two frames included in the Scalloped Rectangles Frame Die Set by Paper Rose was used to cut taupe cardstock and adhered over the image panel.

Wild Mushroom Prism Ink by Hunkydory Crafts was brushed over the  Paw Prints Dinky Stencil #TC070 by That's Crafty onto a piece of grey cardstock using one of the brushes from the Black Blending Brush Set by Time for Tea Designs.

The stenciled background piece was adhered to a taupe card and the framed image panel was added to finish the card. I really wanted to add the word "shenanigans". Alas, I didn't have that as a stamp. Oh well.

Snowy Snowman

 Happy Friday! Ericka here with a fun snowy winter card using The Card Hut - Santa Stops Here. 

 

I love this adorable set and it was so fun to color up. I also used the Indigo Blu Snowflakes in the background too.

I used my gel press to create the snowy background with Distress Oxides.

You've Got This!

 Greetings! It's Tuesday, which means it's Kathi here to share a project with you. There are so many wonderful new products in the store, including some from new companies! 

I've created a card using the Little Critters Clear Stamp Set by The Card Hut, which is an fabulous new clear stamp set featuring squirrels and their antics. I used the set with the Tree Branch Clear Stamp by Lavinia Stamps and a sentiment from the wonderfully versatile Classic Sentiments by Heffy Doodle.

Here's the card.

To create the card, I first stamped Tree Branch in brown ink on the upper left. I then placed the image panel onto a stamping platform, so I could figure out the placement for the other elements on this little scene.

The stack of red squirrels and the bird feeding platform stamps from the Little Critters Clear Stamp Set were positioned face down on the image panel. The platform lid was pressed into the back of the stamps, lifted, and the stamps were inked. I was able to get a great impression from the first stamping, so I didn't need to re-ink. Yay. The stamps were removed from the platform and cleaned.

I then figured out where to position the hanging peanut feeder and repeated the process.

I was an avid bird watcher when we lived in England, so I remembered the bird species and their coloration. We never had a red squirrel visit us and they're not native to New Jersey, so I had to use Google to figure out their coloration, though I could have used the packaging from the stamp set, if I had found it under the piles of detritus on my table. Oops.

So, the preceding paragraph could have been summarized as, "Copic markers were used to color the branch, birds, red squirrels, the grey squirrel, and the bird feeding platform." I also used the markers to color the grass, the few freehanded leaves, and the sky. 

The sentiment, "You've got this", from the Classic Sentiments Clear Stamp Set  by Heffy Doodle was stamped with Onyx Black VersaFine Ink by Tsukineko onto a banner die-cut. 

The image panel was trimmed and adhered to patterned paper, which was then adhered to a brown card. The sentiment banner was adhered using glue dots and a foam adhesive square.
