Cards | Papercrafting with Kelly Janes

When I first saw the Camper Crazy Stamp Set I immediately knew I wanted to purchase this stamp set even though I do not own an RV, I am not a camper, and have no real intention of camping. Those cute, cartoonish RV’s just spoke out to me, and I love the “You Make Me a Happy Camper” sentiment.

Starting with a traditional white card base, I added 2 layers of Timberline B&T Duos. Next adding a pennant of Chocolate Cardstock, with the sentiment from the Camper Crazy Stamp Set stamped in Colonial White Exclusive {Pigment} Ink™. The circle is actually a chipboard piece from the Irresistables™ Frames. {The Irresistables™ Frames include a 12″ × 6″ chipboard sheet with 18 frames in 3 resist patterns: stripe, polka-dot, and houndstooth} . I used Chocolate Exclusive Ink™ to bring out the resist pattern within the circle. The cute little RV is also included in the Camper Crazy Stamp Set, and I used the Watercolor Pencils with a Blending Pen to bring just a little color to the Bamboo Cardstock. Last but definitely not least those paw print pins! They come from the Timberline Assortment and are etched wood veneer.

There are two different ways you can purchase the Timberline Paper Packet {including the Chocolate Cardstock & Bamboo Cardstock}, the Irresistable™ Frames, and the Timerline Assortment. You can purchase each item individually or you can purchase the Timberline Workshop On The Go™ Scrapbooking Kit and get an additional D Size Stamp Set.

This card is based off Freshly Made Sketches #126 and is linked to their blog for the most current sketch challenge.

Happy Saturday!!

I was a little absent from the card challenge circuit last month, but I’m excited to have gotten a little time to sneak away into my craft room today.

The sketch today comes from the Retro Sketches Challenge #104

First let’s start with the paper. I started with a traditional white card base, then adding a layer of Pear Cardstock, followed by multiple layers of Lollydoodle B&T Duos™. I used the Scallop Border Punch on the pink B&T, and the Dot Dry Embossing Folder on the White Daisy Cardstock. I want to stop for a second to talk about the new embossing folders that CTMH is now offering. There are 5 different designs {click here to view them all} and I love, love, love the dimension they add to the cardstock. I was struggling on what to use for the top banner layer. Colored cardstock, another layer of B&T?? My intention was to use the dry embossing folder and then ink the embossed dots, but I was so pleased with the added dimension from the embossing folder I left it as plain white cardstock.

Now let’s move on to the stamp sets. The cupcake is from the Birthday Stamp Set {available only through the Artiste Cricut® Cartridge Collection } cut using the Artiste Cricut® Cartridge, and is stamped using three different inks. Using Cocoa Exclusive Ink™, Cotton Candy Exclusive Ink™, and Juniper Exclusive Ink™ I paper-pieced this cupcake together and added 3D Foam Tape for added dimension. The sentiment is from the Belated Birthday Stamp Set in Juniper Exclusive Ink™.

This card is also linked to the Seize The Birthday: Anything Goes Challenge.

I was unsure how I felt about the Lollydoodle Paper Packet when I first saw it in the Spring/Summer 2014 Idea Book, but it has been my go to paper packet for my most recent cards!! Click here to view the other cards I have made using this fun, whimsy paper packet.
