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)

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")

Jane's Doodles Release Blog Hop

Hi everyone! :o)

Welcome to a Jane's Doodles Release Blog Hop. Today we are featuring THREE new stamp sets released into the store. :o)

Happy Camper

Outdoors

Patterns

Aren't they ADORABLE!! Love love LOVE!!!!! :o)

I had so much fun playing with these sets, so I prepared four cards for today. :o)

My first card for today is this CAS (clean and simple), Friends Card using stamps from super adorable 'Outdoors' stamp set. :o)

With some masking, I stamped adorable critters from the set on a watercolor paper panel. I also stamped a sentiment from the set. I colored critters in watercolor technique using Distress Inks. After drying I glued the panel on a white side folded card base and my card was finished. :o)

Second card I created for today is this CAS, Raccoon Card using 'Outdoors' and 'Patterns' stamp sets. This raccoon is so so cute!! :o)

I stamped the raccoon on the watercolor paper and colored him in watercolor technique using Distress Inks. After drying, I fussy cut the raccoon and traced edges with a black marker. To make the image thicker, as I use thin watercolor paper, I stamped another raccoon on the white cardstock paper, fussy cut him, traced edges with black marker and glued the colored raccoon over him.

Next up was a sentiment speech bubble. I stamped a speech bubble from another stamp set I have on the white cardstock paper with VersaMark Watermark, fussy cut the bubble and stamped the sentiment on it.

Then I stamped stripes pattern in black directly on a white top folded card base.

With all parts ready, I assembled the card. I glued some foam on the back of the raccoon and speech bubble and glued them on the card base. As a finishing touch, I embellished the card with two grey enamel dots. :o)

My third card is this CAS, Wigwam Card made with stamps from beautiful 'Happy Camper' stamp set.

First I cut out all pieces I needed: card base, window, background panel.

I stamped Moon and stars on a watercolor paper panel. I wanted to create night sky scene. :o) I colored the scene in watercolor technique using Distress Inks. After drying, I glued the panel directly on a white top folded card base.

Then I stamped a sentiment on a white cardstock paper panel with a cut window. I glued some foam on the panel and glued it on the card base.

I stamped a wigwam and couple more stars on a watercolor paper and watercolored them also with Distress Inks. I fussy cut the wigwam and stars and traced their edges with black marker.

I glued three stars on the night sky scene to add some dimension to the background.

Then I stamped another wigwam on the white cardstock paper, fussy cut it, traced edges with black marker and glued colored wigwam over it. I did this to make the image thicker, as the watercolor paper I use is very thin.

I added more foam on the back of the wigwam, glued it on the card and my card was finished. :o)

Fourth and last card for today is this New Adventures Card made using stamps from 'Happy Camper' stamp set.

On this card I decided to go with Aurora Borealis at the background, which I would LOVE to see in person. :o)

I colored a background in watercolor technique using Distress Inks. I used thick watercolor paper for it. When I was satisfied with the color, I blended edges with Black Soot Distress Ink to get more dramatic look. Then I splattered the panel with white tempera color mixed with water. I smeared a bit of the white tempera color here and there where I wanted to get lighter parts of the Aurora Borealis. After drying, I glued the panel on a black top folded card base and drew couple shiny stars with white pigment ink.

Next up was a tent. I stamped the tent on a watercolor paper and colored it in watercolor technique using Distress Inks. After drying, I fussy cut it and traced edges with a black marker. To make the image thicker (this paper is thinner than the paper I used for the background) I stamped another tent on the white cardstock paper, fussy cut it, traced edges with black marker and glued the colored tent over it.

Next up was a sentiment speech bubble. I stamped a speech bubble from another stamp set I have on the black cardstock paper with VersaMark Watermark, fussy cut the bubble and heat embossed in white the sentiment on it.

I glued some foam on the back of the tent and speech bubble, glued them on the card base and my card was finished. :o)

These would be my cards for today. I like them a lot, hope you will too. :o)

Bear on Ornament, Circle Spinner Card (Fairy Tale Challenge #128)

Happy Friday everyone! :o)

It's time for a new challenge at Fairy Tale Challenge Blog.

The theme for this fortnight is #128, Tiere im Wald / Woodland (Forest) Animals.

A prize for one lucky winner this time is a CD-Rom with Christmas printables. :o)

For this challenge I made an Interactive, Bear on Ornament, Circle Spinner Card. I love interactive cards! This is my first spinner card and I'm very satisfied how it turned out. :o)

Details about my card...

First I made card base, panel and spinning mechanism. I used Crafter's Companion Neenah Desert Storm Kraft Coloring Card and white on red polka dot paper from Crafter's Companion Bebunni Christmas Paper Pad.

How to make Circle Spinner Card I've learned from this video tutorial on Lawn Fawn's YouTube Channel.

I made a small difference in spinning mechanism: I used two coins and joined them together with a magnet and glued everything with UHU super glue. I did this after my mechanism started to fall apart. I made a mistake and used large heavy coin. When I glued a foam and image together with coin, everything fall. So, I didn't want to ruin my card construction and pull out coin, instead I used one more coin, small rounded magnet I had in my stash and glued everything together. This worked and it still works! :o)

Image I used is from C.C. Designs Rubber Stamps 'Christmas With Ralphie' stamp set. I stamped a bear on ornament on white watercoloring paper, colored him in watercoloring technique using Distress Inks, water and fine brush.

After drying I fussy cut the image and colored edges with black Stabilo pen. Then I stamped another image on a white cardstock paper, glued colored image over it and fussy cut it, but this time leaving white border around the image.

When I placed the image on card I didn't like it, so I fussy cut whole image, removing white border, stamped another image on the Kraft cardstock paper, glued fussy cut image over it and (again) fussy cut image leaving border around it. Better repair than threw away. :o)

Satisfied with the image, I glued 3-D foam on the outer coin and image on it.

At the end I stamped sentiment on the piece of Kraft cardstock paper. I used part of sentiment from Jane's Doodles 'Mr. & Mrs. Claus' stamp set. I stamped it with Distress Ink Walnut Stain. I cut out banner, glued 3-D foams on it and placed it on the card.

Here is a short video of my Circle Spinner Card. Looove this! :o)
