Jane's Doodles Release Blog Hop

Hi everyone! :o)

This is my 2nd post today. If you missed the first one, just scroll down or follow a direct link here. :o)

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

Cozy Up!

Super cuteness overload!! Love love LOVE!!!!! :o)


For today I prepared this Cozy Day Masculine Circle Card using stamps from the set. :o)

How I made my card....

With some masking, I stamped a living room scene on a watercolor paper and cut a circle shaped panel on my Sizzix machine using a wonky stitched circle die cut.

Then I drew a line to separate walls and floor and stamped a sentiment on the panel.

Next up was coloring. I watercolored the scene with Distress Inks. I wanted to create a masculine card, so I decided to go with black+grey+yellow color scheme.

After watercoloring a floor, books and furniture, I worked on wallpapers. First I drew black vertical lines with a black fine liner and then yellow and grey lines with Distress Inks and a paint brush.

I used ruler to measure and mark distance between lines, but I drew them all free handed. I tried to drew the pattern on a scrap paper and used ruler for straight lines, but I didn't like it as much as free handed drawn pattern. :o)

Lastly, I glued the panel on a same size white cardstock circle and glued it on a black circle card base, which I made by gluing two black circles together on the top. :o)

I love how my card turned out. :o)

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

Rainbow Book Pile Bookmark (Jane's Doodles DT Spotlight)

Hello everyone! :o)

Today is my turn to be on the spotlight over at Jane's Doodles and I made this Rainbow Book Pile Bookmark. :o)

I made this bookmark for myself. :o)

To make this bookmark I was inspired with a card I made last year: Rainbow Books Birthday Card.

I used a book pile stamp from an adorable Jane's Doodles 'Read All About It' stamp set.


How I made my bookmark...

With some masking, I stamped the book pile on a watercolor paper and colored books in watercolor technique using Distress Inks. I used 19 different Distress Ink colors to color books' covers and DI Hickory Smoke for books' pages (see detailed supply list below).

After drying, I fussy cut the book pile and traced edges with black marker. I glued the book pile on a white cardstock paper and fussy cut the pile again, this time leaving white thin border around the pile.

Then I drew some white highlights on books with white pigment ink pen.

Lastly, I placed the book pile in a laminating pouch, fussy cut the pouch and laminated it. After couple seconds of cooling, my bookmark was finished. I LOVE it!!! :o)

Rainbow Books Birthday Card (Jane's Doodles DT Spotlight + RCC #2)

Hello everyone! :o)

Today is my turn to be on the spotlight over at Jane's Doodles and I made this Rainbow Books Birthday Card. :o)

To make this card I used stamps from two adorable Jane's Doodles stamp sets: a book pile from 'Read All About It' stamp set and a sentiment from 'Belated Birthday' stamp set.

 

With some masking, I stamped the book pile on a watercolor paper and colored books in watercolor technique using Distress Inks. After drying, I fussy cut the book pile and traced edges with black marker.

I stamped another book pile on a white cardstock paper, colored books in black and fussy cut the book pile leaving white border around books. Then I glued watercolored book pile over black one (I did this to make the image thicker, as the watercolor paper I use is very thin).

I heat embossed the sentiment in white on a black cardstock paper stripe.

Next up was a background. It's a fragment from Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carol, Chapter V: Advice from a Caterpillar.

I created the background on my computer in MS Word. I drew Text Box size as my card base, wrote the text from the book in the box and edited the text (Font: Cambria Math, font size: 10,5).

I printed the text on a white thick paper, cut the panel to preferable size and glued it on a white top folded card base.

I glued 3-D foam on the sentiment and image (various thickness) and placed them on the card. As a finishing touch, I drew white highlights on books. :o)

Card dimensions: 83 mm x 114 mm (3 1/4" x 4 1/2")
