Newton's Nook - So Hoppy Together

Hello Crafty Friends - Annie here with a sweet card featuring Newton's Nook Designs Bitty Bunnies

These adorable bunnies are just happy to be with each other. This set is perfect for the upcoming Easter holiday but, it's also great just to let that special someone how much you care about them.

I stamped the images with Versafine Onyx Black Ink onto Bristol Smooth cardstock and colored them with Arteza Real Brush Markers. For the background, I used Distress Oxide Inks in Broken China and Bundled Sage - I used a brush to apply the ink for a light look. I finished the scene with some tiny flowers.

I hope you give these sweet guys a try!

Newtons Nook Sending Hugs

Hi crafty friends! 

This week I played with Newtons Nook's Sending Hugs stamp set.

I never have a plan when making a card so I made a mask for the bear and the gift I thought I would keep him on the paper and mask him off for inking but ended up fussy cutting. I only used the mask for the bear so I could stamp the gift with him holding it. 

I used my stamp platform to help me stamp the background. I stamped everything in Memento Black ink. Then  colored in all of the images with alcohol markers. I didn't do any shading since the images are so small. 

I did make a little mistake you can see it up on the right towards the top so my design of the card would need to cover it up. After the coloring was done I inked the edges with blue ink.

I matted the colored page with Kraft cardstock and die cut two banners for the sentiment. I stamped the Sentiment with Versafine Black ink. 

I added some black Nuvo drops on his eyes and on his nose to help them pop a little bit. 

Thanks for stopping by today!

Neat & Tangled Stay Cool slim line card

Hi to all Kraftgali friends!

This Friday I am bringing you the ever addicting slim line card!  I LOVE making these long cards because I can use all the cuties in a stamp set on one card! Yeah!  For this slim line card I used the adorable friends from Neat & Tangled Stay Cool stamp set.

This was a quick card, I finished it in a couple hours (even while watching Netflix)!  The Stay Cool stamp set is easy to color, a lot of  it is just shadowing. 

I started the slim line card by trimming an 81/2 x 11 sheet of 110lb white cardstock to 8 x 10 and scoring on the 8" side to make the card base 4 x 10.  I then trimmed another piece of thick white cardstock to fit a little smaller on the front.  Next, I stamped the snowflakes and heat embossed with white embossing powder on the top half of the sheet.  I inked over the snowflakes with oxide inks in mustard seed & squeezed lemonade. 

I die cut the stitched mountains and glued to the bottom of the snowflakes paper and stamped the sentiments in black ink near the top.  I then die cut the Altenew hugs script die from purple glitter paper and some scraps of thick white cardstock and layered to make a thick word embellishment.  One of my favorite techniques to add different fonts in my sentiments!

I stamped all of the cuties from the Neat & Tangled Stay Cool stamp set with memento black ink, colored with copics, and fussy cut out.  I pop dotted all of them and glued down the ice hole and water.  And it's done!  Love the colors of this fun winter card!

If you haven't tried making a long card, try it today or this week with your favorite stamp set!  Or check out all the amazing stamp sets she has at Kraftgali.com, she has so many top brands!

Please share your slim line cards with us at Kraftgali fan club on FB!  I would love to see your creations!

Thanks again for stopping by with me today!

Slider Switch Technique - Light Up Cards Part II

Hi, Welcome to TenTen Crafts!! 

This Video is part 2 of our YouTube series 'Light up YOUR Cards'. If you are new to light up cards, I recommend you checking out the first video of this series HERE and come back.☺

In this video, I show how to create a simple Slider switch using paper circuits.

You will need –
Coin cell battery,
Conductive foil tape,
Led light

All of these come together handy in the starter kit from Chibitronics for ease of use. These LED stickers by Chibitronics are a great & easy way to add a fun, interactive element to your cards.

Click here to download ------ Templates and Measurements

Our circuit is going to complete only when the slider is at the bottom. Remember to use one continuous strip for each line as separate foil pieces taped together would not create a strong connection and the led might not work in some cases.

Please stay tuned for my next video with a full tutorial on how I created this fun see-through card using this slider switch technique.

Sunny Studios Devoted Doggies Valentine's Day Card

Hello Crafty Friends - Annie here with a cute Valentine's Day Card.

So, if your family is anything like mine when it comes to our pets - we celebrate everything with them. As we feel they are a part of our family. We give them cards and have them give cards.

I created this card for my husband from our sweet 1.5 years Pitbull named Echo. 

He is super loving and just adores my husband - as much as my husband adores him.

I used Sunny Studios Devoted Doggies Stamp set to create the card. 

I colored one of the doggies to look like our Echo. I also used the dog bone and paw print to create a heart.  Then, I die cut inside the bone and paw heart. Popped up the front panel and backed it with dark red cardstock. I popped up the little doggie in the center of the heart. Stamped the sentiment onto medium gray cardstock - heat embossed it with white embossing powder. Finally, stamped a few more paw prints and for a finishing touch add a few red sequin hearts.

I hope you give Sunny Studios Devoted Doggies Stamp set  a try!
