Hang in There {Purple Onion Designs}

Today I am featuring a card from the new Tofu & Friends-Summer Fun collection illustrated by Chilliezgraphy by Pei (@chilliezgraphy) for Purple Onion Designs.


After stamping Tutu Sweet Dreams onto Copic friendly cardstock, I colored with Copic markers and fussy cut out. I attached the image using craft foam to a circle onto which I blended broken china distress ink. The sentiment from Friendly Warm Wishes Sentiment Set was stamped onto a strip of  cardstock which was also blended with the same distress ink.

{The Cat's Pajamas} Hello Crafty Friend

Do you send cards specifically for your crafty friends? A lot of us have internet paper crafting friends in this industry and today's card is a perfect one for them as well as those you know in real life. 

Using Silhouette software, I resized the girl, the crafty cluster then sized the "stamping" sentiment on the banner portion from the Crafting is a Superpower digital set. I did the same for the "friend" sentiment from the Talk Crafty to Me set and printed all onto Copic friendly cardstock. The main sentiment and girl were cut out with pierced circle dies. The cluster portion was cut with a stitched rectangle die for the card front. All images were colored with Copic markers. After adding a strip of patterned paper I attached the main image circle with a couple of layers of cardstock to give it more dimension. I blended tumbled glass distress ink on the edges of the sentiment piece and attached with foam dimensionals.

Have a Flippin' Great Day {Purple Onion Designs}

It's a flippin' great day at Purple Onion Designs because there are two new adorable stamp collections. Today I am featuring a card from the new Amongst the Pines collection illustrated by Stacey Yacula

After stamping the new Fallen Log and Skip images Copic friendly cardstock, I cut out with a stitched rectangle die and colored with Copic markers. I also stamped, colored and fussy cut out Timber from a previously released collection. I masked the two images on the stitched panel and blended tumbled glass and broken china distress inks to represent the water, then used a cloud stencil and tumbled glass ink for the sky portion. I tapped on water using a fan brush on the "water", then blotted with a paper towel. A sentiment from the new Great Outdoors Sentiment set was stamped direct to paper. Timber was attached with foam dots.
