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)

Next up was an image. I stamped the reindeer on a watercolor paper and colored him in watercolor technique with Distress Inks. After drying, I fussy cut the reindeer and traced edges with a black marker.

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

I die cut a speech bubble form a white cardstock paper and stamped the sentiment on it.

I love dimension on my cards. I glued 3-D foam squares (2 different thickness) on the back of the reindeer and the speech bubble and glued them on the card.

As a finishing touch I drew white highlights on the reindeer using a white gel pen, embellished the card with three brown enamel dots and my card was finished. :o)

Space Mini Circle Card (bastel-traum challenge #94)

Happy Friday! :o)

On October 15th, 2020, a new challenge started at bastel-traum and our theme for the challenge #94 is Background. :o)

I'm a bit late sharing my post here on my blog, but there is still 9 days left to join in the fun. 

The challenge started on October 15th, 2020, at 9 AM, CEST (UTC +2) and ends on November 15th, 2020, at 8:55 AM, CET (UTC +1). Find all the details about the challenge, rules and prizes in a challenge post (here).

And here is my take on the challenge: Space Mini Circle Card. :o)

To make this card I was inspired with a card I made for this year's World Space Week Blog Hop (here).

For my card I used a spaceship stamp from Altenew 'Space Travel' stamp set.

How I made my card...

I colored a background in watercolor technique using Distress Inks Salty Ocean, Blueprint Sketch and Black Soot. I used a thick watercolor paper for it. When I was satisfied with the color, I left the panel to dry on air.

After drying, I die cut a wonky stitched circle from the panel. I stamped the spaceship in black on the panel and colored it with a black marker.

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

After drying, I ink blended edges with the Distress Ink Black Soot to achieve more dramatic look.

Next up was the spaceship. I stamped the spaceship on a thin watercolor paper and colored it in watercolor technique using Distress Inks. After drying, I fussy cut the spaceship, traced edges with the black marker and glued it over the spaceship that I stamped on the panel.

I made a card base from two circles that I cut from a black cardstock paper. I glued circles together on the top and glued the panel on the card base.

As a finishing touch, I drew couple white dots (stars) here and there on the panel using a white pigment ink pen and my card was finished. :o)

Card measurements: d = 83 mm (3 1/4")

List of supplies:

• Altenew 'Space Travel' stamp set (spaceship)
• black cardstock paper
• Canson XL Mixed Media Paper, 300 g
• Ranger Archival Ink (Jet Black)

Jane's Doodles Release Blog Hop

Hi everyone! :o)

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

Grateful

Hot Cocoa

Pumpkin Patch

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


And here is what I prepared for today: Sweeter than Pumpkin Pie Mini Circle Card using stamps from the 'Pumpkin Patch' stamp set. :o)

I made this card for my sweetheart. He loves orange color. :o)

How I made my card....

First I created a background panel. I stamped randomly pumpkins 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.

I glued the panel on the circle card base.

Next up were images. I stamped an adorable fox and pumpkins 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 a white cardstock paper. I colored images with a grey marker and and fussy cut them, leaving thin white border around them. I glued watercolored images over the grey ones. I did this to make images thicker, as the watercolor paper I use is very thin and I needed thicker images.

I love dimension on my cards. I glued 3-D foams (2 different thickness) on each image and glued images on the card.

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