Hey Pumpkin Mini Circle Card (Jane's Doodles DT October Spotlight)

   

Hi everyone! :o)

Today I want to share with you this Hey Pumpkin Mini Circle Card. It was my spotlight project for Jane's Doodles on Tuesday, October 13th, 2020. I didn't manage to share it here on my blog earlier, so I'm sharing it today. :o)

To make this card I was inspired with a card I made for our last Jane's Doodles Release Blog Hop (here).

For my card I used stamps from a GORGEOUS 'Pumpkin Patch' stamp set. ♥

How I made my card....

First I created a background panel. I stamped randomly pumpkins and a sign on a Kraft paper in watermark stamping technique using VersaMark Watermark Ink. Then I die cut a wonky stitched circle from the paper and stamped a sentiment in black on it.

Then I made a card base. I cut two circles from a white cardstock paper and glued them together on the top.

Next up were images. I stamped an adorable hedgehog, pumpkins and the sign on a watercolor paper and colored them in watercolor technique with Distress Inks. After drying, I fussy cut images and traced their edges with a black marker.

Then I stamped same images again on the Kraft panel, creating a scene. I colored images with a grey marker and glued watercolored images over the grey ones. It's paper pieced scene. :o)

I glued the panel on the circle card base.

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

Card measurements: d = 83 mm (3 1/4")

• Jane's Doodles 'Pumpkin Patch' stamp set

Hedgehog Card (Celebrating 30 Days of Pisces 2016, #21)

Hi everyone! :o)

My third post today... If you missed first two, just scroll down or follow direct links here and here.

Today I'm sharing CAS (clean and simple) cards I made for a Celebrating 30 Days of Pisces 2016 personal challenge. If you want to find out more about my challenge, visit my Celebrating 30 Days of Pisces 2016 page.

21st card I made for the challenge is this Hedgehog Card.

I stamped super cute hedgehog from a Clearly Besotted 'Mini Woodland Pals' stamp set on a white watercolor paper, colored him with Distress Inks in watercolor technique, fussy cut him and colored edges with black marker. 

Watercolor paper I use is very thin and it's not so good when popping-out the image, but it has great white color and it's not expensive. To make the image thicker and prevent bending when mailing, I stamped one more hedgehog on a white cardstock paper scrap,  fussy cut him out, colored edges with black marker and glued together both images (colored and non colored hedgehog).

I glued stitched hills and clouds die-cuts on a card base. I got these from friend Kristina. :o)

I added 3D foams on the back of the hedgehog, placed him on the card and my card was finished.

I tried how would it look like with a sentiment, but I didn't like it, so I left this card without sentiment.

Card measurements are 92 mm x 126 mm (3 5/8" x 5").

List of supplies:

• Clearly Besotted 'Mini Woodland Pals' Stamp Set (I think the set is retired.)
• white cardstock paper
• white watercolor paper
• Ranger's Archival Ink (Jet Black)
• Stabilo Pen (Marker), Black 68/46
• Tim Holtz's Distress Inks
• Tea Dye
• Vinatge Photo 
• Brushed Corduroy
• Sakura Quickie Glue Pinpoint Roller
• double sided strong adhesive tape
• MS scoring board
• trimmer
• scissors
• acrylic block (102 mm x 102 mm)
• Marabu rounded fine paint brush no. #0
• water
• paper towels
• clouds and stitched hills die cuts (I got these from my friend Kristina.)

Smile Mini Card

Hi everyone :-D

Today I have another CAS (clean and simple), mini card to share with you. It´s a Smile Mini Card.

This was quick and easy to make card.

I cut out card base from a white cardstock paper and rounded two opposite corners with round corner paper puncher. Card dimensions are 76 mm x 101 mm (3" x 4"). 

Then I printed a sentiment on the card base that I wrote on my computer, using beautiful 'A Little Pot' free font from Kevin & Amanda Free Scrapbook Fonts.

I stamped cute hedgehog from  Paper Smooches 'Forest Whimsy' stamp set on a piece of white cardstock paper and colored him in watercoloring technique using Tim Holtz´s Distressed Inks, paint brush and water.
While I was coloring I blended two inks together: 

• face and legs: Tea Dye and Brushed Corduroy 
• body: Vintage Photo and Brushed Corduroy

After ink was dry, I fussy cut the hedgehog, colored borders with black permanent marker and added a bit of glossy transparent varnish on his muzzle, eye and eyelid.

To add just a little more interest to this CAS card, I decided to pop up the hedgehog.   
I don´t have any dimensional foam in my stash. While I´m waiting dimensional foam I ordered to arrive, I am using what I have in my stash.  
This time I used small pieces of felt I have. I glued them with universal glue behind the hedgehog and then to the card base. Image is dimensioned, just like I wanted. :-D 

List of supplies:

• Paper Smooches 'Forest Whimsy'
• 'A Little Pot' free font from Kevin&Amanda
• white cardstock paper 
• Tim Holtz´s Distressed Inks (Tea Dye, Vintage Photo, Brushed Corduroy)
• Ranger Archival Ink (Jet Black)
• Staedtler Lumocolor permanent black pen F (fine) 0.6 mm
• Staedtler Lumocolor permanent black pen M (medium) 1.0 mm
• Pritt universal glue  
• transparent varnish with extra gloss 
• polymer stamp handle (38 mm x 35 mm) 
• printer
• scoring board
• trimmer 
• Marabu fine paint brush no. 1
• crafting needle 
• Nivea baby cleaning wipes
• water  
• felt pieces
