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 BREW-TEA-FUL Release Blog Hop

 

Happy Friday! :o)

Welcome to a Jane's Doodles BREW-TEA-FUL Release Blog Hop. Today we are featuring a gorgeous 'BREW-TEA-FUL' stamp set released into the store. :o) We also have 3 super talented Guest Designers joining us today. :o)

BREW-TEA-FUL

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


And here is what I prepared for today: Yellow Teapot Goodie Bag. :o)

I made this one for my mom for Mother's Day, which is here in Croatia on Sunday, May 9th this year. I'll put some chocolate treats and tiny note card inside. :o)

How I made this Goodie Bag... 

First I die cut goodie bag parts from a Kraft paper. To create my own patterned paper, I randomly stamped a teapot and tea mugs on die-cut pieces in watermark stamping technique using VersaMark Watermark Ink. I mixed a white tempera color with a bit of water and splattered the patterned paper and left it dry on air. After drying I assembled the goodie bag.

Next up was the teapot image. It's so pretty!! :o) 

I stamped the teapot on a watercolor paper and fixed some lines with a black fine liner, as I didn't stamp entire image well. I colored the teapot in watercolor technique with Distress Inks. After drying, I fussy cut the teapot and traced edges with a black marker.

Then I stamped the teapot again on a white cardstock paper. I fussy cut the teapot, leaving white border around it. I glued the watercolored teapot over it. I did this to make the image thicker, as the watercolor paper I use is very thin and I needed thicker image. 

I wanted a simple look of the teapot, so I left floral details white. I just run with a white gel pen over white parts, to hide tiny smears of yellow. :o)

If you follow my blog, you know I love dimension on my projects. This one was no exception. :o) I glued 3-D foams on the back of the teapot and glued it on the front side of the bag. :o)

I left the back side of the bag without additional image.

As a finishing touch, I laced up a twine and my Goodie Bag was finished. :o)

I love how my Goodie Bag turned out!! I'm sure my mom will love it. :o)

Penguin Skating Sour Cream Container Gift Box no. 3 (Jane's Doodles DT Spotlight)

     

Hi everyone! :o)

Today was my turn to be on the spotlight over at Jane's Doodles and I made this Penguin Skating Sour Cream Container Gift Box no. 3. :o)

To make this box I CASEd (copied and shared everything) a box that I created for our's last Jane's Doodles Release Blog Hop (here). This is my 3rd box of this kind and will make more of them to have them by hand for next Christmas. :o)

I used same products, same Jane's Doodles stamp sets (check out full list below in a list of supplies), went with same color scheme, techniques..., I just used different penguin image from Jane's Doodles 'Sweater Weather' stamp set. :o)

How I made this Sour Cream Container Gift Box... 

First I created a patterned paper that I used to fold the container. I stamped randomly snowflakes on a Kraft paper in watermark stamping technique using VersaMark Watermark Ink. Then I cut a rectangle size 3" x 6" from it.

I mixed a white tempera color with a bit of water and splattered the snowflakes patterned paper and left it dry on air.

After drying, I folded the container. Couple years ago I found great photo tutorial here. I folded the container following the tutorial. I left one side of the container unglued and open to fill it with sweets or something else later.

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

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

Then I drew white highlights on the penguin using a white gel pen.

You know I love dimension on my projects. :o) I glued 3-D foam squares on the back of the penguin and glued him on the box.

As a finishing touch, I pierced a hole on the unglued part of the container and closed it with a brad. :o)

I love how my Sour Cream Container Gift Box turned out!! :o)

• Jane's Doodles 'Sweater Weather' stamp set (penguin)

12 Days of Christmas - Day 10 - Ornament Shaped Reindeer Card

Happy Friday! :o)

My second post today. If you missed the first one, just scroll down, or follow a direct link here.

Welcome to 10th Day of my 12 Days of Christmas Series. I took a short break with sharing my series here with you (again). I had doctors' appointments and some tests to run and was too tired to write blog posts since Monday. 

Today I want to share with you this Ornament Shaped Reindeer Card.

 

To make this card, I was inspired with my cards that I shared on Monday here on my blog (here).

How I made the card...

First I die cut all parts from a white cardstock paper

I die cut an ornament three times. I used only frames, rest I left for other projects. I glued together frames (stacked frame die-cuts) and left them aside.

Then I die cut a reindeer three times, glued them together and left them aside.

Then I die cut a hanger two times and glued them together.

I used negative part of the die-cut ornament as a stencil. I traced the ornament shape twice on the white cardstock paper and cut them out. I used them to create a card base, but first I ink blended Distress Inks directly on one ornament shape panel. When I was satisfied with the color, I splattered the panel with a water, dabbed the surface with a paper towel and left the panel to dry on air. Then I mixed a white tempera color with a bit of water, splattered the panel and again left it dry on air.

After drying, all parts for my card were ready. I assembled the card. I glued two ornament shapes on the top and got the card base. Then I glued the frame on the card base, glued the stacked reindeer in the center of ornament shape glued the stacked hanger on the top of the ornament and my card was finished. I really like how my card turned out. :o)
