Jane's Doodles Release Blog Hop

Hi everyone! :o)

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

Spring Icons

Tulips

Super cute spring icons and gorgeous tulips... Love love LOVE!!!!! :o)


For today I prepared two cards using stamps from the 'Spring Icons' stamp set. :o)

My first card today is this Bee Spring Card. :o)

I stamped a sentiment and four bees directly on a white top folded card base. I drew flying paths with a pencil and then traced them with a black fine liner (0.5). I decided to stamp one more bee on the back of the card base, to make additional interest to the card. :o) 

I erased pencil marks and colored bees' bodies with a grey marker. I coated their wings with a transparent varnish and left the card base aside to let the varnish dry completely.

I stamped five more bees on a watercolor paper and colored their bodies in watercolor technique using Distress Inks. After drying, I fussy cut bees, traced edges with a black marker, glued them over grey colored bees on the card base (paper piecing) and my card was finished. :o)

My second card is this CAS (clean and simple), Bunny Spring Card. :o)

I stamped a sentiment and a bunny directly on a white top folded card base. I colored the buny with a grey marker and left the card base aside.

I stamped another bunny on a watercolor paper, colored him in watercolor technique using Distress Inks, fussy cut the bunny, traced edges with the black marker and glued the bunny over the grey bunny.

As a finishing touch, I drew details on a carrot using a black fine liner (0.2) and my card was finished. :o)

I love how my cards turned out. :o)

Franken Bun Card II (Kitty Bee Designs Spotlight)

Hi everyone! :o)

This is my 900th blog post!!! :o)

Today is my turn to be on the spotlight over at Kitty Bee Designs and I made this CAS (clean and simple), square, Franken Bun Card II. :o)

To make this card I used an adorable "spooky" image 'Franken Bun' from Halloween 2014 Release . :o)

My card is a CASE (copy and share everything) of my own card that I made last year (here). I went with same design, layout, the image... I just changed the Franken Bun's shirt color. :o)

This is my third card I made using this cutie. You can find previous two here and here. :o)

How I made my card....

I printed the bunny on a Kraft cardstock paper and left the image aside for an hour.

I colored the bunny with colored pencils, trimmed the panel to a desirable size, stamped a sentiment on the panel and glued the panel on a slightly larger Kraft cardstock paper panel. Then I glued everything on a white square top folded card base.

As a finishing touch, I drew white highlights with a white gel pen and white pigment ink pen. :o)

Card measurements: 89 mm x 89 mm (3.5" x 3.5")

Hoppy Easter Rainbow 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 CAS (clean and simple), Hoppy Easter Rainbow Card. :o)

To make this card I was inspired with my own card I made in the past and went with one of my favorite CAS card layouts, one that I used also on my cards in the past, here and here, and a card I shared yesterday on my blog, here. :o)

I used stamps from two ADORABLE Jane's Doodles Easter themed stamp sets: Spring Time and Funny Bunny.

How I made this card....

I prepared a white top folded card base, much longer than I usually use. I drew a pencil line using a ruler on the front of the card base, to make my stamping easier and to stamp bunnies straight in the line. :o)

I stamped bunnies directly on the card base, one by one. First I inked a silhouette bunny stamp with VersaMark Watermark Ink. Then I inked the stamp with a Distress Ink, directly over the Watermark Ink and pressed the inked stamp directly on the card base, removed the stamp and repeated same with different Distress Ink colors, until I stamped all bunnies. :o)

I heat embossed a sentiment on a black cardstock paper, cut a stripe, glued 3-D foam on the back of  the stripe and glued it on card. Finished. :o)

Card measurements:  178 mm x 89 mm (7" x 3 1/2")

List of supplies:

• Jane's Doodles 'Spring Time' stamp set
• Jane's Doodles 'Funny Bunny' stamp set
• white cardstock paper
• black cardstock paper
• Tsukineko VersaMark Watermark Stamp Pad
• WOW! Embossing Powder (Opaque Bright White, Regular, WL01R)
• Tim's Holtz Distress Inks: 
• Festive Berries
• Spiced Marmalade
• Mustard Seed
• Twisted Citron
• Blueprint Sketch
• Wilted Violet
• 3-D foam squares, 5 x 5 x 2 mm
• acrylic block
• Fiskars High Precision Personal Paper Trimmer
• bone folder
• Ranger Heat It Tool
• powder bag
• dry cloth
• ruler
• pencil
• eraser
