Crafty Friends: Trinity Stamps

Hey friends! I hope you are all safe and happy, and that the social distancing is not driving you insane. Although, we crafters are at a bit of an advantage. We kind of like to self isolate in our craft rooms, lol! Let's find some joy together in this time of uncertainty. Friends always help in times like these. 

This month, the Crafty Friends are featuring Trinity Stamps. They have some really fun designs, and I could not wait to play with the Slimline card dies! Trinity Stamps has generously offered a 20% discount for our viewers on April 20-21, 2020, excluding the April 2020 release items.

I have several stamp set featuring this wizarding world series, but I could not resist this half-giant fellow with his dog! This set is called Happee Birthdae, and it has coordinating dies, too. I love dies.

I was going for a magical look on the background, so I used Distress Oxides in Picked Raspberry, Wilted Violet, and Salty Ocean under Black Soot. Spattered with water, then spritzed with Pearlized water, then spattered with Perfect Pearl and the a white paint.

That was diecut with the Stitched Slimline card dies.

I colored up a bunch of the man and his dog,  so I am set to make a bunch of cards! Here are the Copic Colors I used:

Man:

• Hair: E44, E47
• Face: E01, E11
• Clothes: E23, E25, E27, E29
• Belt: E44, E29

Dog: W3, W5, W8 or T1, T3, T5

My W1 and W3 are getting a bit dry and I don't have refills for them yet. Was I the last Copic user to see that they are discontinuing the 25ml re-inkers and coming out with 12ml versions? And it is transition period, so you can't get either size! Sad day... but, this too shall pass.

This cake in a box sits in the middle of some fun stenciling with Pumice Stone Distress Oxides. I colored the box and cake with these Copics: E31, E34, E35, RV02, RV14

In future, I will not heat emboss the sentiment on the cake. It is too small to retain the detail. Trust me, it does say Happee Birthdae, lol!

I received a sequin mix as a gift with my order, and it was labeld Expecto Patronum magical mix, but I could not find it in the store. It is lovely, and I used it here in the shaker window. Trinity Stamps has an amazing selection of embellishments!

The sentiment stamp does stamp prefectly, I just used cheap black paper here so it looks a bit spotty. That is not the stamp's fault, just so you all know.

To finish it all off, this is the inside of the card. It came together pretty quickly, and I have enough pieces colored to make 5 more!
