Crafting Forever - The Crafty Carrot Co.

Here at the Crafty Carrot Collective we're going to be featuring the Crafting Forever stamp set with some of the Naturally Eclectic suite in August. You can purchase this set now from any one of our Crafty Carrot demos to have FREE access to our August tutorials, videos, challenges and prizes!!

So - I'm pretty excited to share this one! In a little bit of an unexpected combination, I used some of the Naturally Eclectic designer paper to create a galaxy background for this card. Simply sponge on different shades of blues and purples (with a touch of black) from your ink stash and finish with some Whisper White Craft Ink. 

Supplies Used:
Stamps: Crafting Forever
Inks: Dapper Denim, Rich Razzleberry, Berry Burst, Sweet Sugarplum, Basic Black Archival, Whisper White Craft Ink
Papers: Night of Navy, Naturally Eclectic, Whisper White, Silver Glimmer Paper

So there's some great greens in this card pack but I chose a more neutral Soft Sky stripe to set the colour palette for my page and added in some yellow. Use these cards however YOU want to!

Stamps: Pieces & Patterns, Number of Years
Inks: Soft Sky, Daffodil Delight
Papers: Perfect Day Card Pack, Soft Sky, Daffodil Delight

Pieces and Patterns - The Crafty Carrot Co. Blog Hop

Pieces and Patterns - love at first sight! Those little animals and generic phrases are perfect for everyday cards with a young, fresh vibe. SO it goes without saying, I'm thrilled the gals all agreed on making it our Crafty Carrot Co. product focus for JULY.

I often say your skills and what you learn through our Crafty Carrot Co. tutorials are totally transferable between cards, traditional layouts and even pocket memory keeping. Keep scrolling to see how I've applied pretty much the same detailing to all three forms. Easy concept right? You can totally nail it too!

Note - our Crafty Carrot shopping list does not include the Pick A Pattern Designer Series Paper. More details on that below but it's an optional extra k?

Supplies Used:
Stamps: Pieces and Patterns, (plus Number of Years on 12x12 Layout)
Inks: Basic Black Archival, Powder Pink, Crushed Curry, Pool Party, Night of Navy
Papers: Pool Party, Whisper White, Powder Pink, Crushed Curry, Shimmery White, Gold Foil Paper
Accessories/Tools: Aqua Painter, Rhinestone Basic Jewels, Layering Circles Dies, 1" Circle Punch, Gold Metallic Thread, Very Vanilla Solid Baker's Twine
