Jane's Doodles Release Blog Hop

Happy Monday! :o)

Welcome to a Jane's Doodles Release Blog Hop. Today we are featuring two BEAUTIFUL Love/Valentines themed stamp sets and a GORGEOUS stencil released into the store. :o) We also have 2 amazing Guest Designers joining us today. :o)

Love Is In The Air

Love You

Hearts Stencil

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

For today I prepared three cards. :o) 

On all my three cards I used the Hearts Stencil and a handmade heart mask. I made the mask from a post-it paper. I traced Jane's heart on the post-it paper and then drew large heart similar to Jane's "original" heart. I fussy cut it carefully, as I needed both masks, positive and negative. :o)

My first card for today is Sending Love CAS (clean and simple) Card.

How I made this card...

I glued the negative part of heart mask on a white cardstock paper panel and ink blended the background. Then I placed the hearts stencil over the masked part and ink blended hearts. I added some extra shades with colored pencils.

When I was satisfied with the color, I removed the stencil and the mask and drew light reflections, stars and dots with a white pigment ink pen. I love a sparkle effect that I achieved. :o)

I stamped a sentiment from Love You stamp set on the panel, glued the panel on a black top folded card base and my card was finished. :o)

Card measurements: 95 mm x 140 mm (3 3/4" x 5 1/2")

My second card for today is Love & Thanks Monochrome Card.

How I made this card...

I glued the hart mask on a white cardstock paper panel and ink blended the entire background. Then I placed the hearts stencil on the panel and ink blended hearts. I added some extra shades with colored pencils.

When I was satisfied with the color, I removed the stencil and the mask and drew light reflections, stars and dots with the white pigment ink pen and again created the sparkle effect. Love it!!! :o)

I stamped a sentiment from Love You stamp set on the panel creating Ombré Effect. A stamping platform really helped with that. :o)

On this card I wanted to create a bit of dimension. I didn't use foam. I cut two white panels, glued them together, glued hearts panel on top of the stacked panels and glued everything on a white top folded card base. Lastly, I glued one more panel inside the card to make it a bit sturdier. :o)

Card measurements: 95 mm x 127 mm (3 3/4" x 5")

My last card for today is Love is in the Air Mini Square Card.

How I made this card...

I glued the negative part of heart mask on a white cardstock paper panel and ink blended the background. Then I placed the hearts stencil over the masked part and ink blended hearts. I added some extra shades with colored pencils.

When I was satisfied with the color, I removed the stencil and the mask and splattered the panel with water. I dabbed the surface with a paper towel and continued to splatter until I was satisfied with the appearance. I left the panel to dry on air.

I stamped an adorable bird from the Love Is In The Air stamp set on the white cardstock paper. I also made a mask on the post-it paper. I carefully fussy cut the bird and used the negative part of the mask for this card. I glued the mask over the bird and ink blended the bird. I removed the mask and added some extra shades with colored pencils. When I was satisfied, I fussy cur the bird, leaving thin white border around it and drew white highlights with the white gel pen.

I heat embossed the sentiment from the same stamp set as the bird in white on a black cardstock paper stripe. I trimmed the sentiment stripe to a desirable size.

Lastly, I cut out three more squares, same size as the panel and a white square top folded card base.

With all parts ready, my card was ready for assembling. I glued two squares together (stacked them) and glued ink blended panel on top of them. Then I glued everything on a white square top folded card base. I glued one more square inside the card to make it sturdier. I glued 3-D foam squares behind the sentiment stripe and the bird (two different foam dimensions), glued them on the card and my card was finished. :o)

Card measurements: 92 mm x 92 mm (3 5/8" x 3 5/8")

I had so much fun creating these cards and LOVE how they turned out. :o) My baby boy Fran also likes them a lot. He was screaming of joy when I showed them to him. LOL

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)

Wedding Card no. #8 (bastel-traum challenge #97)

Happy Friday! :o)

It's time for a new challenge over at bastel-traum and our theme for the challenge #97 is Love. :o)

The challenge started today, January 15th, 2021, at 9 AM, CET (UTC +1) and ends on February 15th, 2021, 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: Wedding Card. :o)

To make this card I CASEd (copied and shared everything) my own card that I created in September 2019 (here).

To make this card I used BEAUTIFUL Stamping Bella 'uptown couple BRETT and BRENDA get married' rubber stamp. This is my eighth take on this stamp. If you like, you can find my previous cards using this image here, here, here, here, here, here and here. :o)

How I made this card...

Like on the original card, I wanted to achieve Sepia look, so I used only one color for coloring: a Distress Ink Vintage Photo.

I stamped the image on a watercolor paper panel and watercolored it in watercolor technique.

First I watercolored a background. After drying, I masked the image (I stamped another image on a white paper scrap and fussy cut the image), splattered the background and dried the panel with a Heat It Tool.

At this point the panel was quite buckled, because I didn't fix the panel to a working surface. I placed the panel between printing paper sheets and run it couple times through Sizzix Die Cutting Machine. Flat. :o)

Next up was the couple. I watercolored them, adding more color and layers on darker parts and less color and more water on lighter parts.

When I was satisfied with my coloring, I glued the panel on a white top folded card base and the card was finished. :o)

Card measurements: 92 mm x 133 mm (3 5/8" x 5 1/4")

List of supplies:

• Stamping Bella 'uptown couple BRETT and BRENDA get married' rubber stamp
• stamp seal ('Best Wishes')
• white cardstock paper (card base)
• watercolor paper
• white printing paper (mask)
• brown baking paper (envelope)
• Ranger's Archival Ink (Jet Black)
• Tim's Holtz Distress Ink, Vintage Photo (in bt shop: here and here)
• UHU universal glue

• Marabu fine rounded paintbrush no. #0
• Marabu fine rounded paintbrush no. 3/0
• Ranger Heat It Tool
• paper towels
• water
• lighter (to melt the sealing wax)
• Sizzix Big Shot

Lastly, I made an envelope from a brown baking paper and sealed it with a gold sealing wax and a sealing stamp 'Best Wishes'.

I love how the card turned out. :o)

Gnomebody Like You Mini Circle Card (Jane's Doodles DT November Spotlight)

  

Hi everyone! :o)

Today I want to share with you this Gnomebody Like You Mini Circle Card. It was my spotlight project for Jane's Doodles on Tuesday, November 19th, 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 circle cards that I made and shared here on my blog lately.

For my card I used stamps from three GORGEOUS Jane's Doodles stamp sets: a gnome and a sentiment from 'Merry Gnomes', background snowflakes from 'Driving Home for Christmas' and 'Snow Globe'. ♥

How I made my card....

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

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 Kraft panel on the circle card base.

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

I stamped another gnome on a white cardstock paper, colored him with a grey marker and fussy cut him, leaving white thin border around the gnome. Then I glued the watercolored gnome 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 gnome and the speech bubble and glued them on the card.

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

I love how my card turned out. :o)

Card measurements: d = 83 mm (3 1/4")

Mason Jar CAS Shaker Card (Jane's Doodles DT June Spotlight)

Happy Friday! :o)

This is my second post today. If you missed the first one, just scroll down, or follow a direct link here. I've announced my 6th Bloggoversary winner. :o)

This weekend I'll be sharing my Jane's Doodles spotlight projects that I made in June, July, August and September, but I didn't share them here on my blog yet. Two days ago I shared full list of projects that I'll be sharing (here).

Today I'm sharing my June and July spotlights, three spotlights in total, all in separate blog posts. My posts are scheduled and will go live every hour.

First one today is this CAS (clean and simple), Mason Jar Shaker Card. It was my spotlight project for Jane's Doodles on Thursday, June 4th, 2020.  :o)

To make this card, I was inspired with my own card that I made in April 2018 (here).

I used stamps from two Jane's Doodles stamp sets: a mason jar from 'Life is Good' and a sentiment from 'Cactus'.

How I made my card...

I stamped the mason jar on a white cardstock paper panel and cut it out with sissors (I left a lid uncut). I traced the edges and colored the lid with a black marker. Then I glued an acetate sheet on the panel to close window.

I stamped the sentiment on the acetate window. I fixed some lines with a black fine liner. 

I stamped another jar on a white top folded card base. I ink blended it with Distress Inks. When I was satisfied with the color, I glued 3-D foam squares on the panel, filled the jar with transparent beads and glued the panel on the card base.

Then I stamped another lid on the white cardstock paper scrap and ink blended it with Distress Inks. I cut out the lid, traced edges with the black marker, glued 3-D foam squares on the lid and glued it over the black one.

To make my card sturdier, I glued another white cardstock paper panel inside the card.

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

Card measurements: 95 mm x 127 mm (3 3/4" x 5")

List of supplies:

• Jane's Doodles 'Life is Good' stamp set (mason jar)
• Jane's Doodles 'Cactus' stamp set (sentiment)
