I Love Books Card (Jane's Doodles DT Spotlight)

 

Happy Friday! :o)

On Wednesday, September 9th, was my turn to be on the spotlight over at Jane's Doodles Blog and I made this CAS (clean and simple), one layer, I Love Books Card. :o)

On Monday, September 7th, school started here in Croatia. I made this card for my niece Tea (10) who is a 4th grader. She loves Harry Potter, so I created kind of wizard's book on this card for her. She loved it. :o)

To make my card I used stamps from two Jane's Doodles stamp sets: a book and a sentiment from 'Read All About It' and a star from 'Happy Camper'.

How I made my card ....

On my card I went with masking. I masked a girl from the set and stamped the book directly on a white top folded card base. Also with some masking, I stamped the sentiment below the book.

I masked the stamped book and stamped stars on book's covers.

After stamping, I colored the book with Distress Inks and a Wink of Stella Clear Brush. I pressed each ink pad on an acrylic block, picked up colors with the Wink of Stella Brush and colored the book.

To add more shimmer, I coated whole book one more time with the Wink of Stella Clear Brush and my super simple one layer card was finished. :o)

Cards measurements: 89 mm x 121 mm (3 1/2" x 4 3/4")

List of supplies:

• Jane's Doodles 'Read All About It' stamp set (book and sentiment)

Have a Cozy Day Circle Card (Jane's Doodles DT Spotlight)

Hi everyone! :o)

Today is my turn to be on the spotlight over at Jane's Doodles and I made this Have a Cozy Day Circle Card. :o)

To make this card I was inspired with a card I made for our Jane's Doodles New Release Blog Hop, which started yesterday. Same design, but totally different living room. :o)  There is still some time to hop with us and to enter the giveaway. Find all details in my blog hop post (here).

I used stamps from two Jane's Doodles stamp sets: 'Cozy Up!' and 'Plants'. :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. After watercoloring a floor, a plant, furniture and other details, I worked on wallpapers. First I drew black diagonal lines with a black fine liner and then blue lines with Distress Ink and a paint brush. I used ruler to measure and mark distance between lines, but I drew them all free handed.

Then I created a card base. I die cut two more circles on the Sizzix machine using same wonky stitched circle die cut. I glued together two circles on the top and created a card base, same size as the panel. After drying, I glued the panel on the card base.

As I finishing touch I drew white highlights with a white pigment ink pen and my card was finished. :o)

Card measurements: d = 102 mm (4")

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)
