Your Next Stamp May Release Blog Hop

Hi everyone! :o)

Welcome to a Your Next Stamp May Release Blog Hop! I'm so glad to be a Guest Designer this month. The new release is full of GORGEOUS products!!! I LOVE it and I'm pretty sure you will too. :o)

For today I prepared this CAS (clean and simple), Never Too Old Card. :o)

To make this card I used stamps from Your Next Stamp 'Crazy Fun Shopping Carts' stamp set.

I decided to feature this stamp set today because it's sooo fun. Adorable cute and fun images, fun sentiments and word play, which I love so much. :o) The set can be used for versatile projects: birthday cards, any occasion cards, for planner, shopping lists... LOVE it!!! :o)

How I made my card....

I stamped an image on a watercolor paper and colored it in watercolor technique using Distress Inks. After drying, I fussy cut the image and traced edges with a black marker.

I wanted to create dimension with the image and went with image layering and partly popping up. I stamped another image on a white cardstock paper, fussy cut the image and cut off parts I didn't need. I colored the image with a grey marker and traced edges with the black marker.

Then I stamped one more image directly on a white top folded card base and colored it with black and grey marker. I colored tiny drop with a Distress Ink.

Here is a photo of all parts I prepared for image layering. :o)

I glued all parts on it's place. I glued some parts directly on the card base and some I raised with 3-D foams.

Then I heat embossed in white a sentiment on a black cardstock paper and cut the stripe to a desirable size and shape. I cut another stripe from a patterned paper, glued it on the card base, glued some 3-D foam on the sentiment stripe and glued it on the card base.

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

Hello, Hola, Bonjour... Card (Jane's Doodles DT Spotlight)

Hi everyone :-D 

Today it's my turn to be on the spotlight over at Jane's Doodles.

I made CAS (clean and simple) card, Hello, Hola, Bonjour... Card.

I used super cute Jane's Doodles  'Dogs' stamp set.

First I stamped a dog on a white cardstock paper panel and colored him with black marker. I did this because I wanted to create a dark shade below the dog.

Next, I stamped the dog on the white cardstock paper and colored him in watercoloring technique using Black Soot Distress Ink, water and fine brush. After drying, I fussy cut the dog, colored borders with black marker, added 3-D foams behind him and placed him on the previously colored dog on the panel.

I cut out a stripe of design paper and glued it on a card base, added 3-D foams behind the white stamped panel and glued it on the card base.

At the end, I stamped sentiment from the same stamp set on a callout sticker I got from a friend, and glued it on the card.

Card dimensions are 107 mm x 139 mm (4 1/4" x 5 1/2").

List of supplies:

• Jane's Doodles 'Dogs' stamp set
• white cardstock paper

Jane's Doodles Release Blog Hop

Hi everyone :-D 

Today I'm taking part in Jane's Doodles Release Blog Hop. Two new sets have been released into the store. I made two CAS (clean and simple) cards using these two new stamp sets. Love all the images! So cute, don't you think. :-D

Dogs

Cats

First up is a Paw-sitively perfect Card using the Dog stamp set. 

I stamped a dog on a white cardstock paper and colored him in watercoloring technique using Distressed Inks, water and fine brush. After drying, I fussy cut him colored the edges with black permanent pen, added 3-D foams behind him and placed him on a card.
Card dimensions are 127 mm x 101 mm (5" x 4").

Next card is Cat's Dreams Card using the Cats stamp set and one stamp (small paw) from Dogs stamp set. 

First I made a blue starry panel on a white 160 grams paper. I stamped small stamps and colored them with black permanent pen. Then I colored whole panel with Stormy Sky Distressed Ink, using blending tool and splattered the panel with white tempera color mixed with water, using paintbrush. I stamped fish, mouse, twine and sleeping cat on the white cardstock paper, colored them in watercoloring technique using Distressed Inks, water and fine paint brush. After drying, I fussy cut all images and colored their edges with black permanent pen. I glued mouse, fish and twine images directly on the blue panel over previously stamped and black shaded images. I glued blue panel on a white card base and stamped sentiment on the card base. I stamped only a part of the sentiment. At the end, I added 3-D foams behind the cat and placed her on the card. 
Card dimensions are 139 mm x 107 mm (5 1/2" x 4 1/4").

I hope you'll like my cards. Below you can find a detailed supply list. :-D
