Give Thanks

Hello!  Thanks so much for stopping by.  Kara here from Create By Kara
 
Today I would love to show you a simple card created with a digital stamp called Scarecrow with a fence and can be found here.   When using a digital stamp, do not be intimidated!  I use a Brother Laser Printer for my digi stamps.  They are fun to use as you can make them any size you need. 

1.  I printed the Scarecrow with a Fence digi and colored with Spectrum Noir markers
2.  Next I used the Brother Scan N Cut to trim around the edge.  Don't think you need this device to use a digi.  You could simply use a die from the Fancy Frames selection and cut a frame or base.  You do not need to cut to be able to use these.
3.  I then took the Fancy Frame die set and cut a rectangle on white card stock. 
4.  Using the Outdoor Landscape die set, I took the hill die and cut to use as a mask.  I then laid the mask down and with the Clarity Stencil Brushes I brushed on the blue for the sky.  After the sky I used the other half of the mask and proceeded to brush on the grass color.  I set this aside while I compiled the other parts of my card.
5.  I then took brown card stock and cut 6.25 x 4 and embossed with an embossing folder.  I took brown ink and edged around the sides.  Let this dry completely.. I did not.. so learn from my lesson, LOL!
6.  I then took orange card stock and  trimmed 5.75 x 2.5.  Edged this in orange ink. 
7.  Using the Give Thanks from Thankful Squeaks stamp set and my MISTI.. I stamped the bottom right corner.
8.  I then layered the brown and orange as I wanted and added brown ribbon for a bit of interest.  I attach my ribbon using tape on the back of my card stock.  I then added the white hill piece and glued down my digi scarecrow.
9.  Finally, I added spectrum noir sparkle glitter pen on the pumpkins and sunflower.  The photo may not catch the sparkle.  Also adding a few sprinkles from Dooglebug to the bottom left corner to add the final touches.

Rainy Day with Digi Stamp

Hello!  Thanks so much for stopping by
 
Today I want to share a FREEBIE (this week only) digi stamp from Craftin Desert Divas.  You can find it here http://craftindesertdivas.com/rainy-day-girl-digital-stamp/
 
 
I tried coloring with Spectrum Noir Sparkle pens.. so the ENTIRE card is glitterfied... but a photo does not pick that up.. I have had the Spectrum Noir sparkle pens for a few months now and was truthfully scared to use them, LOL.  So I went to YouTube and on the Crafters Companion channel I found the perfect video.  I used the pens like water colors with the purple and clear sparkle.  Even the backgrounds are the same pens.  It's amazing what they can do and in person, these look outstanding.  I so wish the picture would pick that up.
 
I cut the Rainy Day girl out with my Brother Scan N Cut.  Can I just say this machine is a lifesaver.. unless of course you like to fussy cut.
 
The clouds, droplets and puddle came from Cricut.
 
The small flowers are from Concord & 9th and are so adorable.

The water spashes and sentiment came from Rain or Shine at Craftin Desert Divas.

Thanks so much for stopping by.  I hope this has sparked some creativity.
Happy Crafting
