There is a super fun new release from Purple Onion Designs & @staceyyacula. This collaboration “A Special Day” illustrated by @staceyyacula marks 10 years that Purple Onion Designs & @staceyyacula have been working together creating these adorable woodland critters. Today I thought I would have fun combining copics and pencil crayons on kraft cardstock with this little cutie Cecil the Turtle.
Read MoreHere I have a couple of cards, that are basically the same but different. The main image stays the same but I decided to switch up the card stock, colouring medium and ink blending. It is also the last few days of Purple Onion Designs 25% off Holiday Sale. I have all the details on the bundles at the end of the blog.
Read MoreThe train is slowly leaving the station, in more ways than one. Of course on this card but also the Purple Onion Designs Bundle Sale is ending very soon. I have all the details on the bundles at the end of the blog. For this card I am using the Train & Train Tracks along with the Train Station from the new Stacey Yacula stamp collection “I’ll Be Home For The Holidays”.

This really cute car full of adorable characters was the perfect stamp to try this blustery, snowy technique that I’ve wanted to try for a while. It is based on many snowy tutorials that Sandy Allnock has posted over the years on her YouTube channel and Instagram.

This time I am experimenting with the idea of a faux shadow box card or is it a shaker card minus the shaker window. Hmmm, I’m not sure! What I do know is that the new Stacey Yacula collection with all the buildings, components and critters are perfect for layers and depth. I used a frame die and layered it many, many times to create a deep frame in order to adhere a small image with acetate mid layers and critter in the front.
There is still a week left to enjoy the special bundle price on the complete 21 stamp collection "A Happy Little Place" (enabler alert) from Stacey Yacula. The set includes a collection of buildings, the adorable critters and “The Around the Town Sentiment set”. This special bundle offer is $105, which is a 30% discount through Friday, May 14th at Purple Onion Designs. Of course all of these stamps can also be purchased separately.
PREP WORK
Stamp and colour the bookstore, book rack and Alex.
Stamp the bookstore store name a second time with versamark ink and emboss in gold. Colour and cut out.
Stamp sentiment in versamark on brown cardstock and gold emboss.
Die cut a large frame die about 6 times out of regular thick cardstock and once out of gold cardstock.
Layer the gold embossed bookstore sign over the coloured bookstore with foam tape.
Adhere the bookstore, and embossed sentiment onto a 41/4”x51/2” piece of cardstock.
Time to build the faux shadow box: Glue together a couple of the rectangle frames. Attach the book rack to a piece of clear acetate position and glue book rack to stacked rectangle frames.
Layer and adhere the rest of the rectangle frames (including gold layer) ontop of already partially built frame.
Position frame over background bookstore and then position and attach Alex.
Lastly adhere panel to an A2 card base.
So, so excited to guest design with Purple Onion Designs and introduce you to the new Stacey Yacula release ‘A Happy Little Place’. With the popularity of slim line cards, it is so cool that there are some multi-storey building stamps. I decided to try both a slim line and A2 size card. So what do you think, do you lean towards the slim line or the A2 version of the card?
