Sports Fan Shaker

Hello stampers!  I have a fun masculine card to share with you today - using one of the Art Impressions Shaker stamp sets: Sports Fan Shaker:

The set comes with this cute little sports fan, as well as a separate stamp of just his foam finger.  After stamping and colouring both images with Copics, I fussy cut around the foam finger, and mounted it over the main image using an Action Wobble.  If you've never used an Action Wobble - you need to give it a try (you can find them in the One Crazy Stamper store here!) - it's a little plastic spring, sandwiched between two adhesives, so when you either shake the card, or flick it with your finger, his little hand wobbles back and forth.  The stamp set comes with one Wobble to start you off.  Here's a closeup from the side so that you can see it peeking out:

The other thing I love about this set - is that you can customize it by using whatever team colours you like for your favourite sports fan - perfect for everyone!  There is still time for you to join in our April Challenge here on the OCS blog - and we'll have a brand new challenge & lots of Design Team inspiration for you on May 1st.  Here are the items you can find in the OCS store:

Elf Shaker

Hello stampers!  I am sharing a square card today, featuring one of the new Art Impressions Shakers stamp sets: Elf Shaker Set (Sku# 4513):

The set includes 3 stamps, the entire elf, just the present, and the sentiment "Have your 'elf' a merry little Christmas".  You stamp and colour the entire elf, stamp and colour the present and fussy cut around it - then you put the present on an Action Wobble and adhere it on top of the present on the main image.  When you either shake the card, or flick the present with your finger, it wobbles back and forth as though the elf is shaking the present.  CUTE!!

Each stamp set also includes one Action Wobble, but you can pick up more of them in the One Crazy Stamper store so that you can use the set over and over.  Happy stamping!

Action Wobble Tutorial

Hello and Happy Friday! Today I have a fun tutorial to show you on how to use an "Action Wobble"!  If you have never used one of these amazing craft tools this is a must try - but be forewarned - they are very ADDICTIVE!  Once you start using these fun tools you will always be finding new ways to use them on cards or on your scrapbook pages!

 

Today's project I decided to show you a set made by Art Impressions that sells the Action Wobbles with the stamp so that you may try them out and fall in love, or if you love the idea of the Action Wobbles you can also purchase them from the OCS Store in a 6 pack or 12 pack to start playing and enjoying all the fun!

 

So now that I have got you interested, here is my project for you today....

 

In the photo below you can see the supplies that I used for this fun project,

 

Supplies Used:
* Art Impressions Elf Shaker Stamp Set (Elf, Present, Sentiment and Wobble)
* Coloured Image
* Coloured / Paper Pieced Present for the Wobble part
* Your Card Base (I have chosen to complete a Isle card)
* Patterned Paper: Doodlebug 6x6 Frosty Friends
* Your Next Stamp Gumdrops - Glitter Silver (also highly addictive!)
* Memento Inks: Tuxedo Black, Nautical Blue & Grape Jelly
* 3D Pop Dots
* Squishy Scissors to cut out the Wobble present piece(and paper pieced pieces)
* Copic Xpress It Card Stock
* Copic Sketch Markers

Below is a close up of my coloured image, the Wobble part of the present and the Action Wobble.  As you can see I did not colour the present on the image the same as the Wobble present. The reason for this is that you will not see much of the background present so I coloured it in the darker hues to make it look like shadows instead, but you can colour it completely the same as the Wobble piece if preferred.

 Copic Colours Used:
* Skin:  E11, E00, E000
* Hair:  E25, E23, E21
* Blues:  B28, B26, B24, B23, B21
* Purples:  V17, V15, V12
* Greys:  W5, W3, W1
* Present:  paper pieces with Doodlebug 6x6 Frosty Friends

Once you have you image all coloured and ready to assemble, turn your Wobble piece upside down and remove the paper from the "image" side of the Action Wobble and attach to the center of your piece as shown below....

Next step is to remove the other backing on the Action Wobble and place your Wobble piece exactly over the same part of you image that matches.  In my picture below the Wobble piece looks off but it is only because I have taken the photo from the side to show you the amazing height of the Action Wobble =) ....

Below you can see the Action Wobble in "action" shakin' around....

Assemble your project....

And Voila! Here is the finished project!  I have made this fun card and matching gift bag for my Sister-in-Law who loves purple =) ....

I hope that you enjoyed today's tutorial and I really hope that you will try out these amazing Action Wobbles, you will not be disappointed.  I would love to hear what you think!

Until Next Time, Keep Crafting!

Hugs;

The Happiest Time of the Year!!!

Tis the season for those lovely UGLY CHRISTMAS SWEATERS to be dug out from the back of your closet, and to be proudly worn for every one's pleasure.  My card today features this annual event with the use of the Art Impressions Ugly Sweater Stamp set. 

 

 After coloring the image with my Copic Sketch Markers, I used a Copic Multiliner to draw the lines on the bells back in, then fussy cut the image and mounted it on the inside of the card with an Action Wobbler.  The image is framed with a cut-out made with a Spellbinders die.  An older  Bo Bunny dp is the card front and inside.  The awesome sentiment is included with the image stamp.

Shall We Dance

Terrific Tuesday time again here at One Crazy Stamper, and in keeping with this month's theme of Love, I have stamped and colored up this great image from Art Impressions.

This is one of the Bird Brains stamps called Dancing Birdie and Scratch, which I colored with Copics, fussy cut and then placed on the card front with an Action Wobble to make them dance, wiggle and jive!!! To create the card front, I randomly rubbed four different colors of distress inks (Aged Mahogany, Barn Door, Spiced Marmalade and Walnut Stain ) across a piece of watercolor paper, then spritzed with water to make the colors blend. After drying the resulting wash with my heat gun, I then stamped the Aged Mahogany ink pad on to my splat mat, then spritzed the color with water to make the ink form into drops. I then placed the original piece of blended colors over top of the droplets of color, to create the blotchy look. To complete the look I stamped the Whimsy Stamps Into the Farm image with Versamark ink, sprinkled with brown embossing powder, and used the heat gun again. The sentiment is from my stash. This would be a great card for an anniversay or special day to celebrate Love.
