Hi, crafty friends. Today’s release day at Rachelle Anne Miller with this cute Candy Shop Creator set.

I used the boy, the girl and the stand and created a cute scene in Photoshop that I printed on X-Press It blending card and colored with Copics.

I chose to keep the scene pretty big and there wasn’t too much room for a sentiment, but I used the Bold Happy Birthday die set from My Favorite Things to die cut into the scene. I die cut an additional four layers from white cardstock, adhered my scene onto a card base I created from Bright Buttercup cardstock from Papertrey Ink.

I layered my die cuts and puzzle pieced them back into the scene. This way, the sentiment fits even though it’s big.

I printed one of the sentiments in the Candy Shop Scene Creator set, cut it down to a strip that I mounted below the die cut and finished off the card with a few enamel dots from the Pocketful of Sunshine mix from Altenew.

I used a lot of colors for this one!

Hi, crafty friends. I’m back today with a very simple card featuring Let’s Celebrate from the Tofu & Friends summer collection from Purple Onion Designs, illustrated by PEI.

I stamped this cute gang onto X-Press It blending card and colored them with Copics, then used the largest die in the A2 Rectangle STAX Set 2 from My Favorite Things to create my standard faux stitch edge. I stamped a sentiment from the Everyday Blurbs stamp set using Sour Apple ink from My Favorite Things. It matches the green in the coloring nicely.

I covered the critters with a mask, then used the Bokeh Elements Stencil Duo set from Waffle Flower to create some interest to the rest of the panel. I used Pistachio and Misty Sage fresh dye inks from Altenew for the green and started with Peachy Glow, also fresh ink from Altenew, for the smaller yellow dots. I suspect my stencil wasn’t clean from the last project, because the yellow seemed a bit too muddy for the look I was going for, so I went over with Scattered Straw Distress Ink, which helped. I then rotated the stencil 180 degrees and went in with Simon Hurley Solar Paste in the Golden Hour color. This paste goes on so easily and has a lot of shine. Once the paste was dry, I adhered my panel to a top fold card base I created from Sour Apple cardstock from My Favorite Things, and the card was complete.
