Mom *Crafter's Companion Challenge Blog Guest Designer*


Hello, Everyone!  I am delighted to present my second Guest Designer project for you today!  I made a Mother's Day card for the current challenge at Crafter's Companion Challenge Blog.  Please play with us for your chance to win the fabulous prize package!

How cute is this bear?!! This is Popcorn the Bear from Thanks A Bunch stamp set. I followed a sketch from Hanna and Friends 132. The papers are from A Walk In the Park by Echo Park.

The stamp package came with a lovely print that helped me navigate coloring. I used Prismacolor pencils and blended with odorless mineral spirits. This is a rather large image so I always fussy cut this bear and attach with foam adhesive.


Thanks so much for stopping by today!  I've really enjoyed being the guest designer for April.  Don't forget to enter to win the S.W.A.L.K stamp set giveaway this week.  And if you haven't already entered our Mother's Day challenge you need to get scrapping!!  lol

Crafter's Companion Challenge Blog- Guest Designer


It's time for me to share my guest designer projects for Crafter's Companion Challenge Blog. I still can't get over my excitement about being a guest designer there!  I hope you enjoy today's post as much as I enjoyed creating it and I have TWO videos to share. I must admit I was feeling ambitious. lol

I followed a sketch by Mojo Monday. The papers are from Lost and Found by My Mind's Eye.

This adorable flower is from Thanks a Bunch by Crafter's Companion. I stamped it with Archival black ink on Kraft card stock. Check out my quick video below for more details!

I love whimsical bows, clouds, and butterflies. I used TH Distress Ink on the clouds and butterflies. I accented the clouds with Stickles. I love the look of Diamond Stickles over Distress Ink! The chicken wire image on the yellow paper is from Prima. I used Colorbox brown chalk ink to stamp it.

"Just because..." is a sentiment from the same Thanks a Bunch set by Crafter's Companion.

Check out the assembly of this card from start to finish in this five-minute video.
And the Prismacolors On Kraft that I promised.
