Cute Donuts Hello Friend Card (Crafting Away From Home #6)

Hello! We have a new challenge at Incy Wincy Designs. The theme for this challenge is Kindness/Fondness Or Add Lace. 

This is my sixth post in my series of Crafting Away From Home. If you have time, do check out the rest of the cards I created in this series.

I pre-printed the image on Strathmore Bristol paper. I brought with me a Doodlebug notecard, Doodlebug Paper Doilies and an alphabet sticker set. The other craft supplies that I brought with me that was used to create this card are precision tip scissors, adhesive runner, Akashiya Sai watercolor pens, water brush pen and white gel pen. If I can add more products to bring for this card, I would have added some sequins and the Sakura Black Glaze pen. I also would have put a push pin on the liquid glue that I brought with me to prevent the glue from clogging the nozzle. 

I colored the image with Akashiya Sai watercolor pens. I added white dots to the critters for some detail. I fussy cut the image leaving a white small border around it. If I was at home, I would have cut the circle centers of the donuts using a circle punch or a circle die. 

I adhered the doilies to the front of the card. I added small green and blue splatters so it will coordinate with the colors of the alphabet stickers. I cut off the excess by following the outline of the card front.

I adhered strips of the excess watercolor paper to the back of the fussy cut image to create some dimension. I adhered this to the front of the card. 

I adhered the alphabet stickers using a grid transparency sheet to center the sentiment. I partially stamped the word friend on a scrap watercolor paper using Versafine Onyx Black ink. The stamp is from Concord & 9th Rainbow Sayings stamp set. After this has dried, I fussy cut this leaving a small white border around it.

Card Recipe Inspired Fall Card (Crafting Away From Home #5)

 

Hello! Welcome back to another card I created as part of my Crafting Away From Home series. This is the 5th card created in the series. I also created this card for the Scrapbook And Cards Fall Issue Recipe Challenge. The card recipe includes a journaling card/die cut, patterned paper, alphabet sticker and stamp. The Scrapbook And Cards Blog is currently down. I will link the challenge once the blog is back up.

I am using a Simple Stories Autumn Splendor patterned paper and the ephemera pack. I used a plaid tone on tone green patterned paper as the main panel which I cut at 5" x 3 3/4". I adhered leaves from the ephemera pack. I used American Crafts Thickers to create the main sentiment of the card. To create the sub-sentiment, I used a sentiment stamp from Concord & 9th Rainbow Sayings stamp set. I used Versafine Onyx Black ink for the stamping. I stamped the sentiment on a scrap patterned paper from the pack. I trimmed this to create it into a strip.

I emphasized the white line on the alphabet stickers with a broad white Sakura Gelli Roll pen. I added a white outline using the medium tip Sakura Gelli Roll pen. 

I trimmed another patterned paper at 5 1/2" x 4 1/4". I adhered the green patterned paper panel to this.

Sketch Inspired Fall Card (Crafting Away From Home #4)

 

Hello! Welcome back to another Crafting Away From Home post. This is my fourth post on this series in which I create away from home with the limited supplies I brought with me. I also created this card to take part with Scrapbook And Cards Fall Issue Sketch Challenge. I am so glad I am able to participate.

My card consists of products from the Simple Stories Autumn Splendor patterned paper and ephemera pack. 

I trimmed the leaf patterned paper at 4 1/4" x 5 1/2". I added a wide strip of the a red leaf patterned paper. I cut a strip of green dotted patterned paper and adhered it to the sides of the wide strip. The plaid patterned paper was trimmed at 3" x 4 1/4". 

I matted the main ephemera piece with a wooden patterned paper, cutting around the sides while leaving a small border around it. To add dimension to some of the ephemera pieces, I trimmed strips of scrap watercolor paper, stacked it and adhered it to the back of the ephemera pieces. 

I had fun creating this card. I had a bit of a struggle being not at my craft room where most of my supplies are. It sure is a challenge.

The Scrapbook And Cards website is currently down. I will update this post with the sketch and the link to the challenge once the site is up and running.

Thank you for visiting my blog. Have a blessed, brilliant and creative day!

Fall Inspired Greeting Card (Crafting Away From Home #3)

Hello! We have a new challenge at Incy Wincy Designs. The theme of the challenge is Halloween And/Or Be Thankful. I am the author of this challenge. We have two sponsors for this challenge.

This post is also the third of my Crafting Away From Home series. I pre-printed the image at home on Strathmore Bristol paper. I also chose the patterned papers I will use for this card which is from Simple Stories Autumn Splendor. I also brought the coordinating ephemera pack just in case I will be able to use it.

I used the only color medium I brought with me, the Akashiya Sai Watercolor brush pens, to color the image. I trimmed the panel using a trimmer which I brought with me, too. I just eyeballed trimming the colored panel. Luckily, it came out at 4"x 4" which was perfect for my layout. 

I used the Misti Stamping Tool to measure the patterned paper. I placed a mark at the 4 1/4" and used this as a guide where to trim the paper, then trimmed 1/2" off the other side to make it into 5 1/2" long.

For the sentiment, I fussy cut one of the cut apart patterned papers. To add dimension, I adhered left over watercolor papers behind the fussy cut sentiment. I adhered this to a strip of orange patterned paper. 

I adhered the strip and the watercolored panel to the patterned paper panel. I added photo corners to the watercolored panel by cutting up a left over patterned paper into triangles. 

Thank you for viewing my blog. I hope to see your creations at the challenge blog. Have a blessed, brilliant and creative day!

Rainbow Colors Inspired Greeting Card (Crafting Away From Home #2)

Hello! We have a new challenge at Incy Wincy Designs. The challenge theme is Rainbow/Multicolour And/Or Monsters. 

At the same time, welcome to a new blog series called  Crafting Away From Home. This is my second post on this series. Technically, this is the first project I made away from home. Unlike my first series post, this card has a schedule to go live. 

I hardly create away from home because I feel that I do not bring enough craft supplies that I will need to create a card. But I am away from home for awhile. I planned the projects that I need and wanted to create. I am making sure that my projects will be using  similar supplies. I printed and stamped my images as well as part of that craft away from home planning.

The images are printed on Strathmore Bristol paper. I colored the image using Akashiya Sai Watercolor Brush pen. I applied the color on a palette and picked it up with a water brush. I fussy cut the image leaving a small white border around the image. 

For the card panel, I trimmed a 5 1/2" and a 4 1/4" heavy weight Neenah Solar white cardstock. I applied a light wash of color. Not the most ideal paper to do this technique but it is the only paper I brought with me. The paper warped a little but once it was adhered to a note card, the warping is unnoticeable.

I planned the layout of my images and the sentiment. I stamped the sentiment using a stamp from Concord & 9th Rainbow Sayings stamp set and Versafine Onyx Black ink. I set this aside to dry.

I was not able to bring some foam tape with me. I really want some dimension so I cut little pieces of scrap Bristol paper. I layered it and adhered it to the back of the image. I adhered the images to the panel. 

I added white gel pen details to the images. 

Whew! I made it through another away from home card. How about you? Do you like crafting away from home? Any tips to share which makes crafting away from home easy for you?

Thank you for visiting my blog. I hope to see your creations at the challenge blog. Have a blessed, brilliant and creative day!

Color Inspired Postcard (Crafting Away From Home #1)

Hello! This is one of my pre-planned projects before I left for the Philippines. The sentiment is from Trinity Stamps So Appreciative stamp set. 

To prepare for my crafting away from home, I trimmed a Strathmore Bristol paper to 4 1/4" x 5 1/2". I stamped the sentiment on this paper using Versafine Onyx Black ink. I die cut the stitched stamped frame on white cardstock. The frame is from TS Crafty Post 3x4 Stamp & Postcard die bundle. 

I trimmed a light weight paper at 5 1/2" x 4 1/4". I stamped the elements to create this into a postcard on this paper. The stamps I used are from the same die bundle I used for the frame. 

Now, it just needs coloring and assembling so I will I need a coloring medium and glue in my to go crafting pouch. 

I colored the panel using using Akashiya Sai Watercolor brush pens. I adhered the frame to the panel. I adhered the stamped panel to make it into a postcard. This is not suitable for mailing yet. I have to apply a sealer to the watercolored panel to protect it when mailed. 

Have a blessed, brilliant and creative day!

I added below the links to the Trinity stamp products I used on this card. There will be no additional cost to you should you decide to purchase any of these products.
