Are you Ready! Heartcraft Paper Challenge And Blog Hop!

Hi Everyone and Welcome! This is so exciting! Welcome to this amazing new online store, Heartcraft Paper! We have an amazing flagship launch. Take a look ath these!

Here is some inspiration for you. I have actually used two of the new images in my project.

Here you can see how this project evolved.
First I went in with my darkest color first to create where the shadows would be on the rocks. Copic used W7

Next I went in with a slightly lighter shade. Copic used W5

I then continued as I moved with each layer to a lighter shade. Copics used W4, W3

And bow using my hilight tone and blending in my different shades. Copics used W0, W1

Next again we start with the darkest tome to put in our shadows first. Then midtone and finally our hilight color. Copics used E40, E41, E42, E43, E44, E47

I tend to work in sections which helps to not let my ink dry too quickly.

Next I colored the image of the person. Copics used R21, R22, R24, R27, R29, Y13, Y15, Y17, C5, E00, E01, E11, E13, E15, E17, E18, E21

 And finally filled in the background sky. Copics used Y000, B000, RV000

And here is my final project!

What do you think? From here, continue on down the hop for some more fabulous inspiration from our design team!

Let's Talk Packaging

Depending on where you are it may be craft fair season. Here in New Mexico the fall is a huge time for craft fairs but also there are a lot of outside summer fairs. And so today I am bringing you a couple of packaging thoughts. I make cards. So one thing I like to do is sell a few cards together in a bundle. I am using my Craft Fantastic medium round glass and medium round glass tray, Craft Fantastic Image Sheet, Glaze and Glue, and Sticky Dots. Take a look.

Another possibility, many people are using Mason Jars and this is another thought for you.Take a look.

I have used an image from one of the image sheets. But you can either go with your logo or some art that identifies your business, or you can go with an image that treats the piece as both packaging and an extra item included with your product.

What other ways are you all using Craft Fantastic in your packaging? We'd love to see!

Hugs,

Judy

Sunday Stampday Fun With The June Kit!

So for some Sunday crafting  I am bringing you a an easy stamped card The papers and stamp set you see is included in the June kit. Check it out!

 

Today I am using a super simple masking technique! Stamp the image on a stack of post it notes and cut out the image. As you stamp backwards into the picture, keep adding masks as you go! Oh, and while I am not big on cleaning my stamps, you will want to at least stamp off between layers.

I will post winners on Tuesday morning!  There are two prizes, one for Instagram and one for subscribing to my blog. The two prizes are a $20 Gift Certificate to Creative Escape Papercrafting and the other is this adorable Stamp Set and Die Set from Lawn Fawn!
