Jane's Doodles Release Blog Hop

 

Hello everyone! :o)

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

Happy Day

Iris

Love love LOVE!!!!! :o)

And here is what I prepared for today: Happy Birthday Card, using stamps from 'Happy Day' stamp set. :o)

To make this card I was inspired with my baby boy's Fran 1st Birthday Party theme: yellow and green balloons. :o) He was thrilled. :o) 

We had two parties, first on his actual birthday, March 9th, and second last Sunday, on 1 st day of Spring, when we both celebrated our birthdays with our family. Second party was in different color scheme. He was thrilled again. :o)

How I made this Card... 

I stamped an adorable mouse on a square thick mix media paper panel. With some masking, I stamped 21 balloon and a sentiment. Then I drew balloon strings, a frame and circles on the panel and my scene was ready to be colored. :o)

My first intention was to watercolor images, but I changed my mind and colored everything with colored pencils. I spent around 2 hours coloring. I like the result. :o)

Lastly, I glued the panel on a white top folded square card base and my card was finished. :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)

And now to the Blog Hop prize...

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

Colorful Birthday Card Set - Croatian Sentiment (bastel-traum challenge #98)

Hi everyone :o)

It's time for a new challenge over at bastel-traum and our theme for the challenge #98 is Birthday. :o)

The challenge started today, February 15th, 2021, at 9 AM, CET (UTC +1) and ends on March 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: Colorful Birthday Card Set - Croatian Sentiment. :o)

To make this card set I was inspired with two Card Sets that I created in 2019 (here and here).

I went with same design, used same products, just used a different patterned paper from Lawn Fawn 'Really Rainbow' petite paper pack.

I used a same speech bubble stamp from Jane's Doodles 'Croatian Sentiments' stamp set. Sretan rođendan means Happy Birthday. :o)

How I made this card set...

I stamped the speech bubble twelve times on a white cardstock paper and fussy cut them out leaving a white thin border around them. I fixed some lines with a black fine liner.

I cut a white cardstock paper and folded card bases, 3 1/4" x 3 1/4". 

Then I cut patterned papers on 3" x 3" size squares.

 

With all parts ready, I assembled cards. I glued patterned papers on white card bases, glued some foam squares on speech bubbles and glued them on cards and the set was finished. :o)

Super easy and quick to create. :o)

Card measurements: 83 mm x 83 mm (3 1/4" x 3 1/4")

List of supplies:

Rainbow Stripes Birthday Card Set II - Croatian Sentiment

Hi everyone!! :o)

Today I want to share with you this Rainbow Stripes Birthday Card Set II. :o)

To make this card set I CASEd (copy and share everything) my own card set that I shared in August here on my blog (here).

I went with same design, used same products, just used a different patterned paper from Lawn Fawn 'Really Rainbow' petite paper pack and different color of Create a Smile enamel stickers to embellish my cards. I used a same speech bubble stamp from a new Jane's Doodles 'Croatian Sentiments' stamp set. Sretan rođendan means Happy Birthday. :o)

How I made this card set...

I stamped the speech bubble four times on the white cardstock paper and fussy cut them out leaving a white thin border around them. I fixed some lines with a black fine liner.

I cut a white cardstock paper and folded card bases, 3 1/4" x 3 1/4". Then I cut 12 3" x 3" squares from the white cardstock paper. I cut one piece of 6" x 6" patterned paper to four same size squares, 3" x 3".

Here is a photo of all pieces I needed for my card set.

I didn't have enough 3-D foam in my stash, so I stacked squares together. I glued two white squares together and the patterned paper square on top of them. I repeated the same with other squares. I glued stacked squares on card bases and glued one more white square inside each card to make them sturdier.

Then I glued 3-D foam squares on each speech bubble and placed them on cards.

Lastly, I embellished two cards with white enamel stickers and my set was finished. :o)

Super easy and quick to create. :o)

Card measurements: 83 mm x 83 mm (3 1/4" x 3 1/4")

List of supplies:

• Jane's Doodles 'Croatian Sentiments' stamp set

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)

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)
