February 2019 – Craftybit Creations

Hi everyone! I love making custom packaging to small gifts, and even something as simple as a Hersey Chocolate Bar can become a great present if you put a little time in creating the box and decorate it.

Hersey Chocolate Bar Box, decorated with stamps colored with copic markers.

The box itself is pretty straight forward to create, I made a blueprint with all the measurements for you if you want to recreate it. You can either just save the .png by right clicking on it or if you want a little higher quality you can download the the pdf HERE.

To decorate the box I decided to go with a small scene created with the Warm & Feathered Hugs stamp set. When creating it it was inches of snow outside and super cozy and all I wanted was to stay indoors and craft. I’ve used a blended layering technique to create some depth in the scene, I also stamped the trees in grey and black to give the trees some depth to. The lighter the tree the further away it feels. For the sentiment I stamped it in the blackest ink I have, and then added some clear embossing powder to make it stand out just a little bit extra.

To finish it up I used one of the owls, coloring in a no-line coloring technique to be able to give the feathers that whispy feeling. I also kept the owl in neutral colors, adding a pop of red to make the eye being pulled there first.

Good morning everyone! It’s been awhile! I apparently went on a three month hiatus, it wasn’t really planned. I ran out of time preparing for my three week vacation in December and when I got home life and mostly health sort of got in my way. But I finally sat down to do some coloring and gosh did I enjoy it, so I thought I would share the cards I ended up doing.

I did record everything so I also got a video tutorial for you, (I’m on a roll!). When I sat down I decided to work towards my only DT right now. Have been stepping down from most of them, feeling that I’ve not been dependable I decided to just do my own thing. However Make It Crafty was my first DT and when Zoe asked me to stay on I couldn’t say no, I do love her stamps and chippies and her!

I’m using Bailey Blowing Kisses Digi, and decided to print her out with some different opacity, going from 100% down to 25% to decided on which was my favorite. And I think I decided that 25% is a real nice one. Next time I might get even lower to see if I can do true no-line coloring.

After not coloring for three months! Gosh that is a long time, I thought starting in my comfort zone would be a good bet, not making it too hard on myself,. So I gave Bailey some pink hair and kept the rest of the image more neutral letting her expression and her har do the talking. I ended up coloring two images as I really wanted to try another kind of hair texture after the first one. I ended up using the footage from the second one as it was my favorite, who doesn’t love glittery hair?

To finish it off I made two very clean and simple cards. Really trying to make the image the star of the card, and with the softness that was created by having lighter lines, making the cards really simple made the images pop a lot more.
