Distress Crayons 3 Ways | Let’s Get Crafty With Caly!
Hi everyone! It’s Caly Person here today!
Today’s card uses fun products from the May 2025 Card Kit – Beautiful and Curious!
I used Distress Crayons three ways to add color. Can you tell from the photo above? I have a video that shares it all and hope you’ll enjoy watching!
WATCH THE VIDEO:
I used Distress Crayons to stamp images from the Beautiful and Curious set. To stamp with Distress Crayons, I scribbled the crayon onto the stamp surface and spritzed it with water to activate the pigment before stamping over the Tim Holtz idea-ology Wallflower paper.
Next, I smudged Distress Crayon colors over the paper by scribbling directly on the paper and blending that pigment out with my index finger – so easy to do! Lastly, I stamped the butterfly image over white cardstock (you can use watercolor paper, too) and added pigment using a watercolor brush pen (you can also use a regular wet watercolor brush).
I sewed my background panel and Shimmer Ice Vellum circle over the ivory panel that I embossed with the Dotted Diamond Embossing Folder. To finish, I attached my butterfly with 3D thin foam squares.
I hope you enjoyed this project! Thanks so much for visiting!

Can’t Miss NEW Lawn Fawn + NEW idea to inspire!

Hi friends! Happy Thursday! I’m delighted to share the brand new Lawn Fawn April 2025 collection that is in stock and shipping now! As a special bonus, keep scrolling to see brand NEW inspiration featuring this gorgeous collection by Chari Moss! Also, shop new bundles!
















Also! Join me in a big welcome to special guest Chari Moss with an adorable card using new release items! Take it away, Chari!

Hello Crafty Friends! Today I have a project to share using the brand new April Release from Lawn Fawn! This new release features fun spring goodies, graduation goodies and a new interactive die!
The Backyard Bird Feeder and Backyard Bird Feeder Add-on are perfect for creating cute little spring scenes. I love all the little birds and the squirrels stealing seeds. Seriously, how cute are the tiny punny sentiments? The little bird on the ground is not amused by the squirrel shenanigans.

But this cards has a fun surprise. A Pull ’n Slide Surprise to be exact! This new interactive die transforms the front of the card in to a stand up scene while revealing a sentiment or gift card underneath…or both!

The Pull ’n Slide Surprise interactive die is very easy to construct and I love that you can totally change the look of the card by “hiding” fun papers, sentiments and gifts underneath.

Another fun stamp set in this release is the Simply Celebrate Hangouts. These stamps are designed to compliment the Simply Celebrate Critters but for this card I used the wood log to create a stamped wood background on my card base. Just a fun subtle detail. I love when you can use a stamp set in multiple ways. We hope you love the April release as much as we do! – Chari
