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

Whale of a Day Card (Jane's Doodles DT October Spotlight)

   

Hi everyone! :o)

This is my third post today. If you missed previous two, just scroll down or follow direct links here and here. :o)

Last weekend I planed to share 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 (full list of projects that I planed to share here). I managed to share all except my September's JD spotlight projects. My plan was to share them on Sunday, but I spent the day outside and didn't have strength to write after I came home.

Today I'm sharing my September spotlights and my JD spotlight project from last week, three spotlights in total, all in separate blog posts. My posts are scheduled and will go live every hour.

My third and last card for today is this Whale of a Day Card. It was my spotlight project for Jane's Doodles on Friday, October 2nd, 2020.  :o)

To make this card I used stamps from a GORGEOUS Jane's Doodles 'Whales' stamp set. Jane's whales from the set are the most beautiful and realistic whale images available as stamps and that I'm familiar with . ♥

How I made my card...

First I created a panel. I made a circle stencil from a paper scrap using a circle die cut and a Sizzix Big Shot machine. I ink blended Distress Inks on a white cardstock paper panel through the circle stencil. When I was satisfied with the color, I removed the stencil and splattered the ink blended circle with water. After drying, I splattered the circle with a white tempera color mixed with a bit of water. I left the panel to dry on air.

Next up was an image. I used a gorgeous Sperm Whale (lat. Physeter macrocephalus). Find more about Blue Whales on National Geographic pages (here).

I stamped the whale on the watercolor paper and colored it in watercolor technique using a Distress Ink Hickory Smoke.

After drying, I fussy cut the whale and traced edges with a black marker. I stamped another whale on a piece of the white cardstock paper, fussy cut it, leaving white thin border around it and glued the watercolored whale over it. I did this because the watercolor paper I use is thin and I needed a thicker image. :o)

With all parts ready, I assembled my card.

I stamped a sentiment on the panel. I wanted to add dimension to my card, but I didn't want to use 3-D foam squares to add dimension to the panel. Instead, I used white cardstock paper scraps and cut two rectangles out of them, just a slightly smaller than the panel with the stamped sentiment. I glued all panels together and glued them on a white top folded cardstock paper card base. Just to make my card a bit sturdier and possible to stand, as the front of the card was quite heavy, I glued another white cardstock paper panel inside the card base.

Lastly, I glued 3-D foam squares on the back of the whale and glued it on the card and my card was finished. :o)

Card measurements: 102 mm x 133 mm (4" x 5 1/4")

List of supplies:

• Jane's Doodles 'Whales' stamp set
• white cardstock paper
• watercolor paper
• Tumbled Glass
• Salty Ocean
• Blueprint Sketch
• Hickory Smoke
• Stabilo Fiber Tip Pen (Marker), Black 68/46

Live life in full Card (bastel-traum challenge #92)

Hi everyone! :o)

On August 15th, 2020, a new challenge started at bastel-traum and our theme for the challenge #92 is CAS (clean and simple). :o)

I'm a bit late sharing my post here on my blog, but there is still 10 days left to join in the fun. 

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


And here is my take on the challenge: CAS (clean and simple), Live life in full Card. :o)

How I made my card ....

To make my card I used Distress Inks, a handmade stencil, a wooden sailboat and a sentiment stamp from Uniko 'Originally Organic Additions' stamp set.

First I created the stencil from a cardstock paper. I used a scalloped paper puncher and some washi tape to create the stencil. Using the stencil, I blended Distress Ink colors directly on a top folded white cardstock paper card base.

Then I colored the wooden sailboat with a black permanent pen (marker) and left the sailboat dry on air.

After couple hours of drying, I glued the sailboat and stamped the sentiment in black directly on the card base and my card was finished. :o)

I could speed up the process and dry the sailboat with a heat tool, but I was not in hurry so I chose drying on air. :o)

Cards measurements: 89 mm x 127 mm (3 1/2" x 5")

List of supplies: 

• sentiment from stamp set from Uniko 'Originally Organic Additions' stamp set
• white cardstock paper
• Ranger's Archival Ink (Jet Black)
• Staedtler Lumocolor permanent black pen M (medium) 1.0 mm
• Tim Hotlz Distress Inks:
• Tumbled Glass
• Salty Ocean
• Mermaid Lagoon
• wooden sailboat
• Sakura Quickie Glue Pen
• scissors 
• acrylic block (102 mm x 102 mm) 
• Fiskars High Precission Personal Paper Trimmer
• bone folder
• Ranger Mini Ink Blending Tools
• handmade scalloped stencil (cardstock paper scrap, Martha Stewart scalloped paper puncher, washi tape)

I hope you'll like my card for this challenge and get inspired. For more inspiration, check out AMAZING CAS cards my super talented Design Teammates created for the challenge. Do join us in this challenge, we are looking forward to see your creations. :o)

13 Days of Halloween - Day 6 - B&W Halloween Card

Hi everyone! :o)

My 3rd and last post for today. If you missed previous two just scroll down or follow direct links here and here. I announced my 5th Bloggoversary Giveaway Winner and TOP 4 and winner from I Love Math Challenge #14. :o)

Today I'm bringing DAY 6 of the 13 Days of Halloween series with this one layer, monochrome, B&W (Black and White) Halloween Card. :o)

To make this card I was inspired with a Halloween Ghosts Card, first project I made for this Halloween series (here).

How I made my card....

To make my card I used stamps from two Jane's Doodles stamp sets: bats from 'Haunted House' stamp set and a sentiment form 'Winnie Halloween' stamp set.

I also used a cloud stencil I made by myself (I've described  ow I made the stencil here).

I ink blended clouds in black with a Distress Ink Black Soot and a mini ink blending tool, directly on a white top folded card base. When I was finished with blending, I trimmed the base a bit (just not on the top).

Next up was stamping. I stamped the sentiment and bats with a Ranger Archival ink Jet Black and my card was finished. :o)

Card measurements: 89 mm x 121 mm (3 1/2" x 4 3/4")

List of supplies:

• Jane's Doodles 'Haunted House' stamp set 
• Jane's Doodles 'Winnie Halloween' stamp set
• handmade cloud stencil
• white cardstock paper
• Ranger Archival Ink (Jet Black)
• Tim Holtz Distress Ink Black Soot
• acrylic block (102 mm x 102 mm)
