Christmas Cards, Colored Pencils

Colored Pencils on Kraft Cardstock | 3 Different Pencil Sets & 3 Different Kraft Cardstocks

Hello! Welcome to my blog! Today I have three Christmas cards to share with you. I used colored pencils on kraft cardstock. It’s one of my favorite techniques. The pencils look so charming and vibrant on the brown cardstock. It’s been a while since I pulled out my colored pencils.

I actually pulled out 3 of my favorite sets of colored pencils, and I used a different brand of kraft cardstock for each card. I had so much fun creating these cards! The stamps are from Stampendous and the images are meant for mini slimline cards.

You can check out my process video below! I also have all of the links to the products listed below as well.

Card #1: Mini Birdie Banner

On card #1 I used Prismacolor pencils. These are lovely wax based pencils and the most affordable of the three sets I’m using today. I build up my scenes slowly–trying not to press too hard with the pencils. If you press too hard with your pencils, your hand will tire quickly and you won’t be able to blend the pencils and build up layers.

To make the ribbon look a little more satin-like, I used Gamsol. Gamsol is an odorless mineral spirit that breaks down the wax and smoothens it all out. However, on the rest of the piece, I didn’t use Gamsol. I love the look of the colored pencils, and I want people to be able to tell that I used colored pencils on my piece. Below is a list of the exact colored pencils I used on this card.

I stamped out all of my images using a stamping platform–mine is a Misti. I left the stamp on the door of the Misti so I could re-stamp it after I was done. This freshens up the lines of the image which can be dulled from the colored pencils. It really helps to make the image pop!

Paper: Dune Cardstock

Prismacolor Pencils:

Red Banner: Orange, Permanent Red & Tuscan Red

Leaves: Chartreuse, Apple Green, Dark Green

Berries: White & Sap Green Light

Bird: White, Orange, Blue Violet Lake, Cool Grey 20%, Cool Grey 50% & Cool Gray 70%

Card #2: Mini Snowman Reach

I love this image of the snowman and the cat! I used Faber Castell Polychromos pencils on this card. These are oil based colored pencils. Again, I started with my lightest colors first and slowly built up the colors and the shadows. I don’t have a sentiment on this card yet–today I’m mostly focusing on the coloring.

Paper: Desert Storm 100 lb Cardstock

Faber Castell Colored Pencils:

Snowman: White & Light Cobalt Turquoise

Striped Scarf: White & Light Cobalt Turquoise,

Light Cobalt Turquoise & Cobalt Turqoise

Light Green & Permanent Green

Cobalt Turquoise & Helio Turquoise

Orange Scarf: Dark Chrome Yellow, Dark Cadmium Orange & Light Cadmium Red

Pink Scarf: Medium Flesh, Alizarin Crimson & Middle Cadmium Red

Hat: Medium Flesh, Alizarin Crimson & Middle Cadmium Red

White Polka dots: White & Light Cobalt Turquoise

Fur at bottom & Top of Hat: Ivory, Light Yellow Orchre & Brown Ochre

Cat: Warm Grey III, Warm Gray V & Warm Grey VI

Card #3: Mini Tree Cottage

This little cottage scene is so cute! You could color this really simply with a limited green color palette; however, I used 4 different color combinations to color in my trees. (They are listed below.) I used Caran d’Ache Luminace colored pencils on this card. They are a wax based pencil and the most costly of the three sets. After I finished coloring the trees and the house, I added a pale pink and purple colors around my scene to indicate a pretty sunset.

Paper: Stonehenge Kraft

Colored Pencils: Caran d’Ache Luminance

Cottage: Herculanum Red & Burnt Sienna 50%

Windows: Bismuth Yellow

Chimney: French Grey 10%, French Grey 305, French Grey (Darkest of the 3 pencils)

Tree Combinations:

Middle Verdigris & Chromium Oxyde Green

Spring Green, Grass Green & Dark Sap Green

Light Malachite Green & Malachite Green

Beryl Green & Dark English Green

Snow: White & Light Malachite Green

Background: Herculanum Red & Hibiscus Pink

So, after completing all three of my cards, I definitely enjoyed using my Faber Castell Polychromos pencils the most. Second, would be the Prismacolors. My favorite paper was the Stonehenge Kraft. It has some nice texture to it, and allows my pencils to blend beautifully. I was able to put down a lot of layers on this paper.

Colored pencil is my favorite art medium! I love them! I’ve been using them since I was a teen–I still have the old tin box my Prismacolors came it, even though the pencils are all used up. I highly recommend giving this medium a try. If you’re uncertain, purchase a small set of pencils–they don’t have to be the most expensive brand, but I wouldn’t use a cheap, hard wax brand either. Prismacolors are great to start with. They’re creamy and blend with ease. Have fun coloring!!

Clear Stamp of the Month, Colored Pencils, Spellbinders

Sending Floral Wishes Mini Slimline Card | Spellbinders Clear Stamp Club | July 2021

I have another mini slimline card to show you all today! This A2 size is all I used to create, but I am having so much fun creating different sized cards–especially the mini slimline. The stamp set I used for this card is from Spellbinders; it’s their Clear Stamp of the Month for July! I love a great floral stamp, and this one is stunning! It’s called, “Sending Floral Wishes.”

The sentiments are fabulous, and it includes a stamp that you can stamp on the flap of your mini slimline envelopes to write out your return address.

To create my card I used the largest floral stamp and stamped it with white pigment ink onto a piece of Blue Spruce cardstock. I wanted to emboss it with white embossing powder, but I needed to color it in first with colored pencils–hence the white pigment ink first. The colored pencils would scrape off the embossed lines if I embossed it first.

After I colored it in, I positioned my panel back into my Mini Misti and stamped it again with clear embossing ink. I stamped it up a few times, and then poured over some white embossing powder and melted it with my heat tool.

I cut down my panel with a die from Spellbinders’ July Large Die of the Month set. I also cut out a piece of Wild Berry cardstock with a die from this set. The white and silver baker’s twine was a fun finishing touch because the scallops on the die cut panel held it in place so nicely.

Here is my process video for this card:

Colored Pencils, Not 2 Shabby

No-Line Coloring with Colored Pencils | Not 2 Shabby Shop

Hello, crafty friends. It’s time for some no-line coloring. I haven’t done this for a while, but it is a really fun technique. I’m using the adorable hamster image from the set call Yum Yum from the Not 2 Shabby Shop. This stamp set was part of the May Card Box, which sold out super quick. However, you can purchase this as a digi stamp.

I stamped out the hamster using a very pale colored ink called Antique Linen Distress Oxide. If you are printing this image from the digi stamp, you will need to scale back the density so your print is very light. You could also print it off and then trace it onto your card panel with a pencil.

I used a piece of colored cardstock called Barely Peach. Colored cardstock is great for this technique because is give you a base color to begin coloring on. I used my lightest colors first and slowly built up the color and the texture on his fur.

These are the Caran d’Ache colored Pencils that I used:

Caran d’Ache Colored Pencils: Hamster – Brown Ochre 10% 832, Brown Ochre 50% 836, Burnt Ochre 077, Burnt Sienna 069, Naples Ochre 821, Apricot 041, Burnt Ochre 10% 872, Anthraquinoid Pink 571; Pink Flowers – Burnt Ochre 10% 872, Anthraquinoid Pink 571, Scarlet 070; Peach Flower – Brown Ochre 10% 832, Apricot 041; Cupcake – Spring Green 470, Grass Green 220, Burnt Sienna 069, Burnt Ochre 077, Anthraquinoid Pink 571; Grass – Green Ochre 025, Olive Brown 50% 736, Grass Green 220, Moss Green 225

I stamped and colored in some flowers from the Time to Relax stamp set. I then drew in a hill and stems around the hamster. I wanted to keep the background really simple. I love how this card turned out!

Here is my process video!

Cute Boots & Windy Sky Cards | Spellbinders | Cardmaker Stamp Collection

Hello my friends! Happy Earth Day! I created some really fun cards that celebrate spring. These are from the Cardmaker Stamp Collection. I’m using the sets called Cute Boots and Windy Sky. These sets are charming; I love how sketchily they are drawn.

I’m stamping and coloring these images on some colored cardstocks. This is a fabulous technique–it gives you a base color to build up your pencils on. I also did some heat embossing.

Card 1

On my first cards I stamped a pattern with the large umbrella stamp and colored it in with colored pencils. The paper I used is Silver Fox. I made sure to allow some of the paper to show through. It makes for some fast coloring too. I stamped the girl holding the umbrella onto a piece of Glacier cardstock. This is a beautiful soft blue. I also colored her in with more Caran d’Ache colored pencils.

Card 2

The Stormy Sky stamp is a background stamp, and it is stunning! I chose to stamp this with VersaFine Onyx black ink and heat emboss it with clear embossing powder. This will be a great stamp to use on underwater scenes for summer. I stamped the girl on a piece of white cardstock and colored her in with Copic markers.

If you would like to see how I put these cards together, you can watch the video here or over on my YouTube channel in HD.

Thanks for visiting my blog! Have a wonderful, crafty Day!

Colored Pencils, Copic Coloring, Scrappy Tails Crafts

Popping Poppies Cards using Colored Pencil, Copics & Kraft Cardstock | Scrappy Tails Crafts

Hello! I hope you are having a wonderful weekend! I’m so excited about Scrappy Tails Crafts latest release, and I get to show you a few of the new products. These stamps and dies include products for Valentine’s Day, spring, and Easter, but you could really use them all year round.

For today’s cards I used a gorgeous stamp set called Popping Poppies. I love floral stamp sets! This one has beautifully drawn poppies with cute sentiments such as “Popping by to Say Hi,” “You Make Life Pop,” and You Popped in My Mind.”

Card #1: Poppy Heart Landscape Card

The large heart with poppies image fills up your A2 size card. I colored it in with Prismacolor pencils on kraft cardstock.

Prismacolor Pencils:

Flowers: Poppy Red, Raspberry, White, Dark Umber, Canary Yellow

Leaves: Chartreuse, Spring Green, Apple Green, Dark Green

Outside the Heart: French Grey 90%, French Grey 50%

Inside the Heart: Poppy Red, Pink

Card #2: Poppies on a Trellis Top-Folding Card

I stamped out the single poppies onto white cardstock and colored them in with Copic markers. I used one of the dies from the Basket Pop Up Card Dies to cut out the trellis for my poppies to climb up. I also used the Slimline Everyday Border Dies to cut out grass to put under them.

Copics:

Flowers – YR21, YR68, YR07, E23

Leaves – YG63, G46, YG61

Here is my process video. You can watch it here or over on my YouTube channel in HD.

Colored Pencils, Fall Themed Cards, Not 2 Shabby

More Autumn Cards using Colored Pencils | Not 2 Shabby Design Team Project

Hello and welcome! I’m stamping up some cute designs exclusive to the Not 2 Shabby Shop today. For my first card I used the set called “You, Me and Pumpkin Spice.” I love the little squirrels in this set as well as all the fabulous fall images. On my second card I used “Fall Gnomes.” It includes two of the cutes gnome images I’ve ever seen.

Card #1: Stamped Pattern Paper Card

One of my all time favorite techniques is stamping out my own pattern paper. Not only is it fun, but it allows you to use all of the images from your set on one card. I stamped my images onto a piece of kraft cardstock using Fallen Leaves brown ink. This is a pigment ink, so you almost always get a crisp stamping without the use of the stamp positioner. I wanted my squirrels to really stand out from the kraft cardstock, so I stamped them onto a piece of white cardstock and colored them in with colored pencils.

Card #2: Row Stamping Slimline Card

For my slimline card I pulled out my stamp positioner to stamp out the gnome several times. I used the same Fallen Leaves brown ink, and I stamped it onto a piece of light brown cardstock. I cut out this panel using a slimline die set from Trinity Stamps. I stamped the gnome in the middle first, so I could make sure he was centered, and then I shifted my paper along the bottom edge of my stamp positioner 1 1/4 inches on each side and stamped 4 more gnomes.

For the gnome that I colored in, I stamped him onto a piece of white cardstock. I used more colored pencils and fussy cut him out. I popped him up with foam adhesive as well as the sentiment. This slimline card measures 8 1/2 by 3 1/2.

Here is my process video. You can watch it here or over on my YouTube channel in HD.

Pumpkin Kisses & Harvest Wishes Blog & Instagram Hop | Fall Slimline Cards

Welcome to the “Sending you Pumpkin Kisses & Harvest Wishes from Not 2 Shabby & Kat Scrappiness!” We are thrilled you could join us on this blog & Instagram hop celebration!

For this hop, we are showcasing the Double Stitched Nesting, Wonky Stitched Nesting and Tri-Frame slimline dies from Kat Scrappiness and the “Happy Fall” Stamp set from Not 2 Shabby.

I have a 10% off coupon code for you from the Not 2 Shabby Shop: N2S10

Card #1: Stacked Pumpkins Slimline Card

This stack of pumpkins was so much fun to create on a slimline card–I wouldn’t have been able to do this tall of a stack on a regual A2 cards. I love all the images from this Happy Fall set! I stamped out my crow first and then stamped down from there, masking as I went along. I stamped on a piece of speckled off-white cardstock from MFT called Primitive Cream Heavyweight Cardstock. I love using colored cardstock for my colored pencil work. It gives you a nice base color to start with.

I then colored in my images with colored pencils. I colored the pumpkins different colors to add variation to my scene. I then masked my images and colored in the background behind them with Distress Oxide Inks. This is a really fast way to add color to your work.

Faber Castell Polychromos Pencils:

Dark Cadmium Yellow 108, Cadmium Orange 111, Dark Cadmium Orange 115, Light Cadmium Red 117, Deep Red 223, Light Red-Violet 135, Purple Violet 136, Delft Blue 141, Warm Grey VI 275, Black 199, Pink Madder Lake 129, Raw Umber 180, Terracotta 186, Burnt Umber 280, Permanent Green 266, Hooker’s Green 159

Distress Oxide Inks: Black Soot, Wilted Violet, Spiced Marmalade, Wild Honey, Shabby Shutters.

Card #2: Autumn Scenes Slimline Card

I used the largest wonky stitch slimline die this time and cut out a piece of Bristol Smooth cardstock. This is the paper to use if you are using your Arteza or Zig Real Brush Pens. It allows the pens to blend beautifully. I stamped and masked my scenes using VersaFine Onyx Black Ink and poured clear embossing powder over them. Once I melted the embossing powder, the lines were shiny and smooth. The embossed lines contain the watercolors, so you can paint and don’t have to worry about your images bleeding into each other.

I cut out another piece of Bristol Smooth cardstock using the smallest wonky stitch die and used that for my sentiment strip and to separate my two scenes. I stamped two more sentiments–one above each scene. The sentiments fit perfectly in the top corners of these scenes.

Arteza Real Brush Pens:

Pumpkin – Sunset Yellow, Orange, Autumn Red; Stem – Pale Green, Basil Green; Backbird – Wisteria Purple, Amethyst Purple, Eggplant Purple, Noir; Beak – Lemon Yellow, Peach; Leaf – Basil Green, Pale Green. Lemon Yellow, Orange, Cadmium Orange. Cheeks – Rouge Pink; Scarecrow – Face & Hands – Cantaloupe; Hat – Green Tea; Patches, Lemon Yellow, Orange; Straw Hair – Lemon Yellow, Orange; Jeans – Night Sky Blue
