Jane's Doodles Release Blog Hop

 

Happy Friday! :o)

Welcome to a Jane's Doodles Release Blog Hop. Today we are featuring three GORGEOUS Christmas/Winter themed stamp sets released into the store. :o) We also have 4 amazing super talented Guest Designers joining us today and new Design Team Member joining our team: Lien. :o)

Wild Winter

Snowflakes

Hygge Time

GORGEOUS!!! Love love LOVE!!!!! :o)

And here is what I prepared for today: Blue Merry Christmas Card. :o)

How I made this Card... 

For my card I used stamps from all three stamp sets: snowflakes from 'Snowflakes' stamp set, a sweater from 'Hygge Time' stamp set and a sentiment from 'Wild Winter' stamp set.

As my stamps didn't arrive on time, Jane sent me digital stamps to work with them and prepare something for the hop.

First I created a snowflakes patterned paper on my laptop, using Microsoft Word and Paint. I printed the paper A4 size and cut it to a desirable size panel. I saved the rest of the patterned paper for future projects.

I wrapped the patterned paper panel with a vellum paper and glued it on a white top folded card base.

Then I printed the sweater image twice, one in white and second in blue color. I fussy cut the blue sweater and added more color to it. I ink blended entire sweater with a Distress Ink Blueprint Sketch and colored details with a white gel pen and various blue fine liners.

When I was satisfied with the sweater color, I glued the colored sweater over the white one and fussy cut it, leaving white thin border around it. 

Then I worked on sentiment, but I didn't like it and change it after my stamps arrived. First version was printed in blue, but it looked weird. I heat embossed the sentiment 'Merry Christmas' in white on a black cardstock paper and cut it to a desirable stripe. 

Lastly, I assembled my card. I glued 3-D foams on the back of the image and the sentiment stripe and glued them on the card. As a finishing touch, I embellished my card with blue enamel dots.

I love creating Christmas cards in non traditional Christmas colors and LOVE how this one turned out. :o)

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

12 Days of Christmas - Day 8 - Sretan Božić Card

Hi everyone! :o)

Welcome to 8th Day of my 12 Days of Christmas Series.

Today I want to share with you this Sretan Božić Card. 

To make this card, I CASEd (copied and shared everything) my own card that I shared couple days ago here on my blog (here). I went with same design, layout, color scheme, used same techniques and stamp sets, I just went with some different stamped images and a different sentiment. :o)

Sretan Božić is a Croatian sentiment and it means Merry Christmas. :o)

For my card I used stamps from several Jane's Doodles stamp sets:

• 'Sretan Božić' stamp set (a sentiment)
• 'Winter Icons' stamp set (poinsettia)
• Snowflakes are from various sets:
• 'Winter Village' stamp set
• 'Snow Globe' stamp set 
• 'Driving Home For Christmas' stamp set

How I made my card....

First I created a background panel. I randomly stamped images on a Kraft paper panel in watermark stamping technique using VersaMark Watermark Ink.

Then I splattered the panel with a white tempera color mixed with a bit of water and left the panel to dry on air.

After drying, I glued the panel on a white side folded card base.

Next up was the sentiment. I heat embossed the sentiment in white on a black cardstock paper, cut the sentiment to a desirable size stripe, glued 3-D foam squares on the back of the sentiment stripe and glued it on the card and my card was finished. :o)

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

List of supplies:

• 'Sretan Božić' stamp set (sentiment)

12 Days of Christmas - Day 5 - Sweet Holidays Mini Circle Card (Jane's Doodles DT Spotlight)

 

Hi everyone! :o)

Today I'm continuing with my 12 Days of Christmas Series. Today is 5th Day of day of my series.

Due to some important private stuff I had to finish, I took again a short break from sharing my series... This series is really not working as I planed, but I'm determined to finish sharing what I planned. :o)

By now, I only had giveaways and I Love Math Challenge #18 that I incorporated in this series. If you like, you can check all posts I shared by now here, or following these links:

• Day 1
• Day 2
• Day 3
• Day 4

There is still some time left to join the Day 4 Giveaway, as well as I Love Math Challenge #18 (Day 3). :o)

I'm continuing my 12 Days of Christmas Series with a card: Sweet Holidays Mini Circle Card. It was my spotlight project for Jane's Doodles on Tuesday, November 27th, 2020. I didn't share it here on my blog earlier because I wanted to share it in series I planned prior Christmas, but that also didn't work as I planned (I wrote about it here).

To make this card I used stamps from two SUPER CUTE Jane's Doodles stamp sets: 'Holiday Sweets' and 'Warm and Cozy'. ♥

How I made my card....

First I created a background panel. I randomly stamped candy canes and candies on a Kraft paper in watermark stamping technique using VersaMark Watermark Ink. Then I die cut a wonky stitched circle from the paper and heat embossed a sentiment in white on it.

Then I splattered the panel with a white tempera color mixed with a bit of water and left the panel to dry on air.

Next up was card base. I cut two circles from a white cardstock paper and glued them together on the top. Then I glued the panel on the circle card base.

Next up was an image. I stamped an adorable gingerbread man on a watercolor paper and colored him in watercolor technique with a Distress Ink Ground Espresso. After drying, I fussy cut the gingerbread man and traced edges with a black marker.

I stamped another gingerbread man on a white cardstock paper, colored him with a grey marker and fussy cut him, leaving white thin border around him. Then I glued the watercolored gingerbread man over the grey one.

You know I love dimension on my cards. I glued 3-D foam squares on the back of the gingerbread man and glued him on the card.

As a finishing touch I drew white highlights on the gingerbread man using a white gel pen and my card was finished. :o)

I love how my card turned out. :o)

It's the little things... Card (Jane's Doodles DT Spotlight)

   

Hi everyone! :o)

This is my 1100th blog post!! :o)

Today was my turn to be on the spotlight over at Jane's Doodles and I made this one layer, It's the little things... Card. :o)

My card is a CASE (copy and share everything) of my own card that I created four years ago (here). Everything same, I just rotated the layout. :o)

To make this card I used two GORGEOUS Jane's Doodles stamp sets: 'Lily' and 'You Got This'. :o)

How I made my card....

For a card base I used Canson XL Mixed Media Paper. I stamped a sentiment in the center of the card with a black ink. The sentiment impression wasn't so good so I fixed it by tracing letters with a black fine liner.

Then I heat embossed in white lilies directly on the card base, creating a lilies frame. I also did some masking, because I didn't want lilies to overlap. I used masks I had from some previous projects. I store masks in a pouch with a stamp set.

Next up was coloring. I watercolored the card front with Distress Inks Mustard Seed and Fossilized Amber. I dried the card with a Heat It Tool and splattered it with same Distress Inks mixed with a bit of water.

As a finishing touch, I coated lilies and the sentiment with a glossy Wink of Stella and my card was finished. :o)

Love the shimmer!! :o)

Card measurements: 106 mm x 140 mm (4 3/16" x 5 1/2")

List of supplies:

• Jane's Doodles 'Lily' stamp set
• Jane's Doodles 'You Got This' stamp set
• Canson XL Mixed Media Paper, 300 g
• Tsukineko VersaMark Watermark Stamp Pad
• WOW! Embossing Powder (Opaque Bright White, Regular, WL01R)
• Ranger Archival Ink, Jet Black
• Tim Holtz's Distress Inks:
• Mustard Seed
• Fossilized Amber
• Mitsubishi Uni pin 0.2
• ZIG Wink of Stella Brush (Gl. clear 999)
• Fiskars High Precision Personal Paper Trimmer
