Sour Cream Containers Advent Calendar (Jane's Doodles DT Spotlight)

Happy Friday! :o)

I hope you're all well. Another busy week and I didn't find any time to write here on my blog. Today I'll be sharing two projects with you, both my DT spotlights for Jane's Doodles, one for last week and other for today. I'll be sharing my projects in two separate blog posts. :o)


On Wednesday, December 4th, 2019, was my turn to be on the spotlight over at Jane's Doodles and I made this Sour Cream Containers Advent Calendar. :o)

I made this Advent Calendar for my nieces. They were thrilled. :o)

To make this Advent Calendar I used patterned paper and adorable numeral stamps from Jane's Doodles 'ABC's' stamp set.



How I made this Advent Calendar... 

First I folded containers. I found great photo tutorial here.

I used 3" x 6" paper and folded 24 sour cream containers following the tutorial. I left one side of each container unglued and open to fill them later.

After folding, I filled containers, each with two same chocolate candies, glued opened part and "closed" containers.

Then I worked on numerals. I die cut circles in from white and a Kraft cardstock paper. I stamped numbers from 1 to 24 on each circle, using Kraft color ink pad. Lastly, I glued numbered circles on each container and my project was finished. :o)

List of supplies:

• Jane's Doodles 'ABC's' stamp set
• Crafter's Companion Bebunni Christmas 6" x 6" Designer Paper Pad
• white cardstock paper
• Crafter's Companion Neenah Desert Storm Kraft Coloring Card

Franken Bun Card II (Kitty Bee Designs Spotlight)

Hi everyone! :o)

This is my 900th blog post!!! :o)

Today is my turn to be on the spotlight over at Kitty Bee Designs and I made this CAS (clean and simple), square, Franken Bun Card II. :o)

To make this card I used an adorable "spooky" image 'Franken Bun' from Halloween 2014 Release . :o)

My card is a CASE (copy and share everything) of my own card that I made last year (here). I went with same design, layout, the image... I just changed the Franken Bun's shirt color. :o)

This is my third card I made using this cutie. You can find previous two here and here. :o)

How I made my card....

I printed the bunny on a Kraft cardstock paper and left the image aside for an hour.

I colored the bunny with colored pencils, trimmed the panel to a desirable size, stamped a sentiment on the panel and glued the panel on a slightly larger Kraft cardstock paper panel. Then I glued everything on a white square top folded card base.

As a finishing touch, I drew white highlights with a white gel pen and white pigment ink pen. :o)

Rainbow Numerals Birthday Card III (Jane's Doodles DT Spotlight)

Hi everyone! :o)

Yesterday was my turn to be on the spotlight over at Jane's Doodles and I made this CAS (clean and simple), Rainbow Numerals Birthday Card III. :o)

I made this card for my niece Tea, who's 8th birthday is today. ♥ Happy birthday sweet little girl!! ♥

I CASEd (copy and share everything) my own card I created earlier this year (find it here). I went with CASE because I really like the design of the original and because Tea likes rainbow colors and numbers (and Math). :o)

For my card I used stamps from two Jane's Doodles stamp sets: numerals from 'ABC's' stamp set and sentiment from 'Belated Birthday' stamp set.

: 

How I made this card...

I arranged numeral stamps on an acrylic ruler (I don't have long acrylic block) and inked them with VersaMark Watermark Ink. Then I inked each numeral with different Distress Ink, directly over the Watermark Ink, following a Rainbow pattern. I pressed inked numerals directly on a white cardstock paper panel. After drying, I glued the panel on a white side folded card base.

Next up was a sentiment. I heat embossed the sentiment in white on a black cardstock paper stripe, placed some foam on the back of the stripe and glued the sentiment on the card. 

As a finishing touch I embellished the card with enamel dots. :o)

Card measurements: 89 mm x 133 mm (3.5" x 5.25")

List of supplies :

• Jane's Doodles 'ABC's' stamp set (numerals)
• Jane's Doodles 'Belated Birthday' stamp set (sentiment)
• white cardstock paper
• black cardstock paper
• Ranger Archival Ink (Jet Black)
• Tsukineko VersaMark Watermark Stamp Pad
• WOW! Embossing Powder (Opaque Bright White, Regular, WL01R)
• Tim's Holtz Distress Inks:
• Barn Door
• Spiced Marmalade
• Mustard Seed
• Twisted Citron
• Tumbled Glass
• Salty Ocean
• Blueprint Sketch
• Wilted Violet
• 3-D foam tape, 1 mm thick
• Create a Smile enamel dots (Beach Party, Frosty Fun, Sending Sunshine, Snow Dance)
• acrylic block (102 mm x 102 mm)
• Fiskars High Precision Personal Paper Trimmer
• bone folder
• ruler
