Daisies Boxes (Jane's Doodles DT Spotlight)

Hi everyone :o)

Today was my turn to be on the spotlight over at Jane's Doodles and I made these Daisies Boxes.

These boxes were packages for homemade sun tanning creams I made. Today I won't write about the cream, only boxes.

I measured plastic container and drawn box shape on a white cardstock paper. I cut out drawn shape and heat embossed daisies from beautiful Jane's Doodles stamp set, 'Daisies' over whole surface. I made second box same way.

Then I blended both boxes with Distress Inks, splattered them with water and repeated whole process until I was satisfied with colors.

After drying, I assembled boxes by gluing flaps, leaving one side open. Easy to make and really nice package for my homemade sun tanning creams. :o)

Panda Magnets (Kitty Bee Designs Spotlight)

Hi everyone! :o)

Today is my turn to be on the spotlight over at Kitty Bee Designs and I made these Panda Magnets.

I used four Pandas from 2013 January Panda Releases (detailed list below). These Pandas are melting my heart. ADORABLE!!! :o)

I printed Pandas on a white cardstock paper, stamped circles around their eyes and colored them with black pen, as well as their muzzles. I colored other parts with fine liners. Then I fussy cut Pandas, leaving white border around them. I tried without white border and I didn't like it at all.

After I finished coloring and fussy cutting, I traced Pandas on magnetic sheet, cut out magnetic shapes, but slightly smaller than Pandas, and glued shapes on the back of each Panda. Finished! Super easy and quick project. :o)

List of supplies:

• Kitty Bee Designs 'Panda Love' Digital Stamp
• Kitty Bee Designs 'Panda Cutie' Digital Stamp
• Kitty Bee Designs 'Good Luck Panda' Digital Stamp
• Kitty Bee Designs 'Chinese New Year Panda' Digital Stamp
• Create a Smile 'Eggstraordinary Egghunt' stamp set (circle.. panda's eyes)
• white cardstock paper
• Ranger Archival Ink (Jet Black)
• Staedtler Lumocolor permanent black pen S (superfine) 0.4 mm
• Stabilo Fine Liners point 88 (fine 0.4)

Rainbow Paper Plane Card Set

Hi everyone :o)

Today I want to share with you a Rainbow Paper Plane Card Set, containing five CAS (clean and simple) cards and five handmade envelopes, all packed in handmade transparent box. :o)

First I made cards.

I stamped a sentiment and paper plane from Paper Smooches 'Sunny Side Up' stamp set (I think this stamp set is retired) directly on card bases. Then I stamped more planes on various Create a Smile design papers, fussy cut them, colored edges with black marker and glued them over planes stamped on card bases.

Then I drew flying paths with pencil, traced them with fine liner and after drying, I erased pencil marks.

At the end I embellished cards with various Create a Smile stickers.

Fairy Wishes Card (KBD Aloha Friday Challenge #72 Mid Inspiration)

Happy Friday everyone! :o)

Today I'm posting a mid-inspiration project for ongoing Aloha Friday Challenge at Kitty Bee Designs.

The challenge for this fortnight is #72 - Fairytale / Fantasy.

We have two sponsors for this challenge: A Day For Daisies and The Paper Shelter, so there will be double prizes! :o)

           

For this challenge I made a Fairy Wishes Card, using our sponsor's A Day For Daisies adorable image Painted Mushroom Top and Neil Gaiman's quote.

Neil Gaiman is one of the favorite authors in our home. Comic books, novels, children books... There are also films made based on his novels. My favorite: Stardust. It's a must see film. :o)


How I made my card...

I made a layout on my computer using MS Word, printed it out on a white watercolor paper and left it dry for an hour. I use inkjet printer and always leave image "drying" after printing to prevent ink smearing.

I colored the image and background in watercolor technique using Distress Inks. When I was satisfied, I covered the image with a paper scrap and splattered the background with water. After drying, I glued the panel on a white cardstock card base.

At the end, using white pen, I added some highlights on the image and drew white dots around it, to imitate fairy dust. :o)

Dimensions: 84 mm x 133 mm (3 3/8" x 5 1/4")

List of supplies:

• A Day For Daisies 'Painted Mushroom Top'
• white cardstock paper
• white watercolor paper
• Tim Holtz's Distress Inks:
• Mustard Seed
• Twisted Citron
• Cracke Pistachio
• Barn Door
• Tumbled Glass
• Blueprint Sketch
• Ground Espresso
• Hickory Smoke
• Unibal Signo White
• UHU universal glue
• printer
• MS scoring board
• Fiskars High Precision Personal Paper Trimmer
• Marabu rounded fine paint brush no. #0
• Marabu flat fine paint brush no. #10
• paper towels
• water

Beehive Card (Jane's Doodles DT Spotligh)

Hi everyone :o)

Today is my turn to be on the spotlight over at Jane's Doodles and I made this Beehive Card.

I used two beautiful Jane's Doodles stamp sets, 'Daisies' and 'Geometric Patterns', stamp set that is discontinued from Jane's store.

First I made a background. I used a hexagon stripe pattern from the 'Geometric Patterns' stamp set, stamped it with VersaMark Watermark directly on a card base and heat embossed it in white. Then I blended cardbase with Distress Inks (Mustard Seed and Fossilized Amber). 

When I was satisfied with the color of the background, I stamped bees from 'Daisies' stamp set on the card base and colored only their legs with Ground Espresso Distress Ink. For the rest of their bodies and wings, I had to go with paper piecing (layering).

I stamped three more bees on a watercolor paper and colored them in watercolor technique with Distress Inks (Mustard Seed and Ground Espresso). Then I fussy cut bees (cut their legs and tentacles off), colored edges with black marker and glued them over bees stamped on the card base. I covered bees's wings with clear gloss resin to create glossy accents.

A sentiment is also from 'Daisies' stamp set. I cut out circle from a black cardstock paper and heat embossed sentiment in white on it. I added 3-D foams behind the circle, placed it on the card and my card was finished. :o)

Dimensions: 89 mm x 133 mm (3 1/2 " x 5 1/4")
