Star Themed Card Set for Star Wars Day!

Welcome crafty stampers to today's Craft Room Therapy. Today we are celebrating Star Wars Day (May the 4th be with you!) by creating a Card set featuring stars. I always seem to be running low on masculine cards so I chose a neutral color theme to boost my stash!

Cut two 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 inch card bases from your Crumb Cake cardstock. Score at 4 1/4 inches. Using your Stylish Shape Dies cut windows on the front of your card bases. (hint save cuts outs for your future projects.)

Die cut 2 mountain ranges from the Forever Forest Dies onto your Smoky Slate cardstock. Color lightly with your watercolor pencils.

Add water to blend your colors with your water painters.

Stamp trees from the Forever Forest Cling Stamp Set onto Old Olive cardstock. I stamped both Shaded Spruce and Old olive onto my tree stamp to give a multi-colored look. Die cut your stamped images.

Cut two pieces of Misty Moonlight to 4 1/8 x 5 1/4 . trace cut out areas lightly to help align card with windows.

Adhere your mountains to Misty Moonlight cardstock.

Stamp Stars (can also be used as snow) from the Forever Forest stamp set to your cardstock with your White Classic Stampin' pad. Adhere to the "back side of your window.

Die cut a moon to add to your skies. Adhere your die cut trees. Stamp your chosen sentiments from the Unbounded Love Stamp set.

I hope you enjoyed this little Craft Room "Therapy" session!

The Best Remedy Kit - Alternative Kit Ideas

Welcome crafty stampers to today's Craft Room Therapy. Today I am sharing Alternate Card ideas created with the we are going to create with The Best Remedy kit. There are so many possibilities. The kit includes detailed instructions and everything you need to make 9 adorable cards (3 of each design). But I wanted to see what else I could create to share all the possibilities with just a few extra on-hand supplies! Here are four of my creations so far!

This little birdie card uses the The Best Remedy kit plus my BASICS 3D EMBOSSING FOLDERS.

For my Sorry Life Stinks card I simply cut trimmed some of my background pices to create banners.

For this card I used the leftover after punching out the heart instead of tossing it!

For this card I just switched up the background pieces.

Stay tuned for more creations with this kit. I hope you enjoyed this little Craft Room "Therapy" session!

How to Create a Patriotic Gnome

Greetings! Chris here and today I am excited to share to patriotic gnome I created to celebrate the summer holidays! I love creating home decor and have been just waiting to play with this Clear Scraps XL Wood Gnome . He was so fun to create and personalize! And being of Irish decent My Gnome needed to be a red bearded gnome! A Clear Scraps have lots of wood shapes design to fit in your Gnome's hands!

This Gnome project feature two (2) products from Clear Scraps.

Clear Scraps XL Wood Gnome

Clear Scraps Wood Spring Collection shapes 3 pack

Other supplies: paint and patterned paper

Start by tracing your wood gnome pieces onto patterned paper. Remember to flip over your pieces when tracing if you are tracing onto the back side of your papers.

Continue tracing all pieces and then cut out pieces.

Trace your Clear Scraps Wood Spring Collection shapes 3 pack onto patterned paper and cut out.

Adhere all your cutouts to your Gnome and Spring Collection shapes .

Paint your Clear Scraps XL Wood Gnome base, hands, and nose. Set aside to let dry.

Paint your Gnome's beard and then let dry. I chose a combo of orange and red-orange paints.

Add "aging" accents by dry brushing white paint onto your beard. Let paint dry.

Adhere your Gnome's beard, hands and nose. When adhering hands position them so that all your finished Clear Scraps Wood Spring Collection shapes 3 pack will just set on them and you can change the shapes to match the season!

Here is how the Shamrock looks.

I hope you enjoyed this project. For more inspiration check out Clear Scraps Social Media sites.

Layered Florals De-bossed Card

Welcome crafty stampers to today's Craft Room Therapy. Today we are going to create this stunning card featuring the Layered Florals 3D Embossing Folder and some brand new just released products!!!!! That's right check out the brand new catalog online or message me to get yours! The 2024-2026 In Color collection colors coordinate so well together, you will need them all!

To recreate this card you will need:

Supply List

Layered Florals 3D Embossing Folder

BASIC GRAY CLASSIC STAMPIN' PAD

2024-2026 In Color Stampin' Pads

Unbounded Love stamp Set

Unbounded Love Die Set

2024–2026 IN COLOR™ 8-1/2" X 11" CARDSTOCK

Basic White 8 1/2 x 11 cardstock

Flowers of Beauty Dies

Sponge Daubers

Stampin' Spritzer

5 1/2 inch square card base

Start by trimming your Basic White 8 1/2 x 11 cardstock to 5 1/4 inch wide. using your Stampin' Spritzer spritz with water to "soften" your cardstock before embossing. Emboss your Cardstock with the Layered Florals 3D Embossing Folder.

your embossed cardstock will have am embossed side that pops up and a de-bossed side where the image goes into the paper.

We will be using the de-bossed side.

Using your 2024-2026 In Color Stampin' Pads and your Sponge Daubers begin applying color to your de-bossed florals.

It is ok if it goes outside the de-bossed areas. keep applying your inks.

Here is a close up of my de-bossed image.

Using your BASIC GRAY CLASSIC STAMPIN' PAD Drag across your image in 1 swipe. Just look how those colors pop!!!!!

Ink the other side of your image.

Trim your de-bossed image to 5 1/4 inches square. This is how the image looks against the 2024–2026 IN COLOR™ 8-1/2" X 11" CARDSTOCK! I ultimately chose to mat on Peach Pie.
