I Love Books Card (Jane's Doodles DT Spotlight)

 


Happy Friday! :o)

On Wednesday, September 9th, was my turn to be on the spotlight over at Jane's Doodles Blog and I made this CAS (clean and simple), one layer, I Love Books Card. :o)


On Monday, September 7th, school started here in Croatia. I made this card for my niece Tea (10) who is a 4th grader. She loves Harry Potter, so I created kind of wizard's book on this card for her. She loved it. :o)

To make my card I used stamps from two Jane's Doodles stamp sets: a book and a sentiment from 'Read All About It' and a star from 'Happy Camper'.


How I made my card ....

On my card I went with masking. I masked a girl from the set and stamped the book directly on a white top folded card base. Also with some masking, I stamped the sentiment below the book.

I masked the stamped book and stamped stars on book's covers.

After stamping, I colored the book with Distress Inks and a Wink of Stella Clear Brush. I pressed each ink pad on an acrylic block, picked up colors with the Wink of Stella Brush and colored the book.


To add more shimmer, I coated whole book one more time with the Wink of Stella Clear Brush and my super simple one layer card was finished. :o)


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

  • Jane's Doodles 'Read All About It' stamp set (book and sentiment)

First Day at School Card (CASology Week #373 mid-inspiration)


Hi everyone! :o)

Last Tuesday, September 1st, 2020, a new challenge started at CASology. This fortnight's cue word is September. :o)



I took some time off and skipped some challenges through the summer, but I finally managed to create something for this challenge. Due to some private situation, I didn't have the time to prepare my post on time, so I'm bringing it today as mid-inspiration. 

There's still plenty of time to join the challenge, which ends on Monday, September 14th, 2020, 9 AM, CDT (UTC -5).

We also have a sponsor for this challenge: Lawn Fawn. Find all details about the prize over at CASology blog.



And here is my take on the challenge: CAS (clean and simple), First Day at School Card. :o)


Design defined: 
Adding dimension gives a CAS card special interest.


Here in Croatia, school starts in September, so I decided to go with school themed card for this challenge.

This school year started yesterday. My younger niece Nika (6 years old) is a first grade student and yesterday was her first day at school. She was super excited. :o) I made this card for her. She was so happy. :o)

Nika, First Day at School


How I made the card...

To make this card I used SUPER CUTE stamps from a Clearly Besotted 'A Class Act' stamp set. This stamp set is no longer available in the size I have, but in a smaller version at Clearly Besotted Shop. I got this set four years ago from a friend crafter, Zrinka of Owls and Co.. :o)

I stamped an adorable kitten on a watercolor paper and colored her in watercolor technique using Distress Inks. After drying, I fussy cut the image and traced edges with a black marker.

I stamped the same image on a white cardstock paper, colored it with the black marker and fussy cut it leaving thin white border around it. Then I glued watercolored image over the black one. I did this to make the image sturdier, as the watercolor paper I use is very thin and I needed thicker image.

Then I stamped a sentiment on a white cardstock paper panel. 

I wanted to add some dimension, but I didn't want to use foam squares that I have, so I cut two more white cardstock panels, slightly smaller than the panel with the stamped sentiment. I glued all panels together and glued them on a white top folded card base. I glued one more panel inside the card just to make it sturdier.

Lastly, I glued 3-D foams 2 mm thick on the back of the kitten and placed her on the card. As a finishing touch I drew white highlights. :o)


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

List of supplies:
  • Clearly Besotted Stamps 'A Class Act' stamp set (the set is discontinued, but there is "smaller" version available at Clearly Besotted Stamps shop, here)
  • white cardstock paper
  • watercolor paper
  • Ranger's Archival Ink (Jet Black)

    Owl Teacher Card

    Hi everyone!!! :o)

    Today I want to share with you a CAS (clean and simple) Owl Teacher Card. :o)

    I made it for my niece to give it to her teacher for International Teachers' Day.

     To make this card I used SUPER CUTE stamps from a Clearly Besotted 'A Class Act' stamp set. This stamp set is no longer available in the size I have, but in a smaller version at Clearly Besotted Shop. I got this set three years ago from a friend crafter, Zrinka of Owls and Co.. This was the first time I used the set. Whoops!!! :o)


    How I made the card...

    I stamped an owl teacher and a chalkboard on a watercolor paper and colored images in watercolor technique using Distress Inks. After drying, I fussy cut both images and traced edges with a black marker.

    I stamped same images on a white cardstock paper panel, colored both with a grey marker and fussy cut them leaving thin white border around images. Then I glued watercolored pieces over the grey ones. I did this to make images sturdier, as the watercolor paper I use is very thin and I needed thicker images.

     I masked one of sentiments from the set and stamped ABC on the chalkboard in white. I used a Tim's Holtz Distress Ink Picket Fence. The color was pale so I traced letters ABC with a white pigment ink.

     Then I stamped a sentiment on a white cardstock paper panel and glued the panel on a white top folded card base.

    I wanted to achieve different dimension on my card, but I had only one size of 3-D foams in my stash. I solved it with cardstock scraps. I cut two tiny squares, glued them together and glued them on the back of the chalkboard. Then I glued the chalkboard on the card. Next up was the owl. I glued 3-D foams 3 mm thick on the back of the owl and glued her on the card.

    As a finishing touch I drew white highlights. :o)


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

      School Book Labels (Jane's Doodles DT Spotlight)


      Hi everyone!!! :o)

      Today is my turn to be on the spotlight over at Jane's Doodles and I made these School Book Labels. :o)

      I made these school book labels for my niece Tea (9) who started 3rd grade yesterday. She loves cactus and succulents, just like me. :o)

      To make these labels I used stamps from two GORGEOUS Jane's Doodles stamp sets: 'Cactus' and 'Plants'.


      How I made these labels...

      I drew a table on my computer in MS Word, wrote name, class and subjects in each cell and printed the table on a self adhesive white paper.

      Then I stamped plants in each cell. I used masking technique on some images and added some details with a black fine liner on couple. Then I colored images with colored pencils.

      After coloring, I cut labels with a paper trimmer.

      Lastly, Tea and I glued them on her books and notebooks. She LOVES them!!! :o)


      Label measurements: 63 mm x 42 mm

      List of supplies:
