You Know the Drill

Hello! I’ve got 2 projects today featuring the brand new “You Know the Drill” Stamps and Outline dies from Kawaii Cuties, which is an adorable collection from Stamp Anniething. I made an ATC for my husband, and a fun card using these stamps.

I’ve been using a set of playing cards to make my husband a deck of ATC’s. I use Kawaii Cuties stamps for them often, because they are the perfect size. For this, I took some white cardstock and ink smooshed Weathered Wood and Lost Shadow Distress Inks on it.

I stamped the nuts, screws and bolts with Amalgam Ink from Gina K Designs. Then I colored them with Copics: T2, T4, T6, C1, and N4. I used some striped washi tape in the top right, plus a brad that looks like weathered metal. I made 2 sentiment strips with white cardstock and stamped them with Morning Mist VersaFine Clair Ink.

For the card, I stamped the paint cans several times. I colored the cans themselves exactly the same and just changed the paint colors. Here are all of the Copic colors I used: R95, R85, BV08, BV29, BG15, YR31, YR23, YG45, G28. For the cans: N6, N4, T0. The base of my card was done with BV02. I used the outline dies to cut them out.

I found the patterned paper in my stash and layered some purples on top, and it looked cute, but it needed something else. At this point, I had already glued the paint cans down. So I carefully splattered some colors…I used Salvaged Patina Distress Oxide Spray, Kitsch Flamingo Distress Spray Stain, and New Sprout Fireworks! Spray from Imagine. I inked the sentiment with Purple Delight VersaFine Clair Ink.

I think both of these came out so cute, and I am really happy to have some tool stamps in my stash now. Be sure to check out the full line of Kawaii Cuties over at the Stamp Anniething shop.
