Jane's Doodles Warm Hugs Release Blog Hop

 

Happy Friday! :o)

Welcome to a Jane's Doodles Warm Hugs Release Blog Hop. Today we are featuring a BEAUTIFUL 'Warm Hugs' stamp set released into the store. :o) We also have 5 amazing super talented Guest Designers joining us today. :o)

Warm Hugs

Beautiful!!! Love love LOVE!!!!! :o)

And here is what I prepared for today: Thankful For You Card. :o)

How I made this Card... 

For my card I used most stamps from the set. I love to create my own backgrounds. It's a great way to use as much as possible stamps from one set. I call that good use of the set. :o)

First I arranged tinny stamps on an acrylic block and randomly stamped tiny images from the set on a Kraft paper panel in watermark stamping technique using VersaMark Watermark Ink. I filled gaps by stamping one by one image in gaps. After drying, I stamped the sentiment in black on the panel.

I cut and folded a card base, slightly larger than the panel. I also cut 3 more panels from the Kraft paper. I glued (stacked) two panels together. I did this to add some dimension on my card, as I don't have any foam sheet in my stash and to glue 3-D foam squares on the entire panel was not an option. I glued the stamped panel on stacked panels and glued them on the card base. Last, 3rd panel, I glued inside the card to make it sturdier.

Then I stamped a bear and leaves on a thick watercolor paper and colored images in watercolor technique with Caran D'Ache Prismalo Aquarelle colored pencils. After drying, I fussy cut images leaving white thin border around them. I glued 3-D foam squares (2 different thickness) on the back of each image and glued them on the card and my card was finished. :o)

I love how my card turned out!! :o)

At the bottom of this post you can find detailed supply lists of my today's card. Link to this post will be in a right sidebar until the Blog Hop ends. :o)

Bear Hugs Mini Circle Card (Jane's Doodles DT)

 

Hi everyone! :o)

Today I want to share with you this Bear Hugs Mini Circle Card. It was my spotlight project for Jane's Doodles on Tuesday, November 3rd, 2020. I didn't manage to share it here on my blog earlier, so I'm sharing it today. :o)

To make this card I was inspired with a card I made for our last Jane's Doodles Release Blog Hop (here).

For my card I used stamps from two GORGEOUS Jane's Doodles stamp sets: 'Pumpkin Patch' and 'Bear Hugs'. ♥

How I made my card....

First I created a background panel. I randomly stamped acorns and pumpkins on a Kraft paper in watermark stamping technique using VersaMark Watermark Ink. Then I die cut a wonky stitched circle from the Kraft paper.

Then I made a card base. I cut two circles from a white cardstock paper and glued them together on the top.

I glued the panel on the circle card base.

Next up was an image. I stamped an adorable bear on a watercolor paper and colored him in watercolor technique with Distress Inks. After drying, I fussy cut the bear and traced edges with a black marker.

I stamped another bear on a white cardstock paper, colored him with a grey marker and fussy cut him, leaving white thin border around the bear. Then I glued the watercolored bear over the grey one.

I die cut a speech bubble form a white cardstock paper and stamped a sentiment on it.

I love dimension on my cards. I glued 3-D foam squares (2 different thickness) on the back of the bear and the speech bubble and glued them on the card.

As a finishing touch I drew white highlights on the bear using a white gel pen, embellished the card with two brown enamel dots and my card was finished. :o)

I love how my card turned out. :o)

Card measurements: d = 83 mm (3 1/4")

Thanks a Latte Pumpkin Card (CASology Week #375)

 

Hi everyone! :o)

It's time for a new challenge over at CASology. This fortnight's cue word is Spice. :o)

We also have a sponsor for this challenge: Your Next Stamp. Find all details about the prize over at CASology blog.

And here is my take on the challenge: CAS (clean and simple), Thanks a Latte Pumpkin Card. :o)

Design defined: 

Adding dimension and some patterned paper gives a CAS card special interest.

How I made my card..

To make my card I used stamps from two Jane's Doodles stamp sets: an image from 'Pumpkin Spice' and a sentiment from 'Coffee Time'.

First I stamped a coffee cup on a watercolor paper and colored it with in watercolor technique using Stabilo Fibre Tip Pens (Markers), a Distress Ink Spiced Marmalade, a fine rounded paint brush and water. I drew dots with an orange Stabilo Fibre Tip Pen.

After drying, I fussy cut the coffee cup and traced edges with a black marker. I stamped another coffee cup on a white cardstock paper scrap, colored it with the black marker and fussy cut it, leaving a thin white border around it. Then I glued the watercolored coffee cup over it. I did this because the watercolor paper I use is very thin and I needed a thicker image.

With the finished image, I assembled my card. I glued a patterned paper stripe on a white top folded card base. I stamped the sentiment on a white cardstock paper panel and glued it on the card base. 

Lastly, I glued some 3-D foam squares on the image, glued it on the card and my card was finished. :o)

Card measurements: 83 mm x 127 mm (3 1/4" x 5")

List of supplies:

• Jane's Doodles 'Pumpkin Spice' stamp set
• Jane's Doodles 'Coffee Time' stamp set
• white cardstock paper
• patterned paper
