It's the little things... Card (Jane's Doodles DT Spotlight)

   

Hi everyone! :o)

This is my 1100th blog post!! :o)

Today was my turn to be on the spotlight over at Jane's Doodles and I made this one layer, It's the little things... Card. :o)

My card is a CASE (copy and share everything) of my own card that I created four years ago (here). Everything same, I just rotated the layout. :o)

To make this card I used two GORGEOUS Jane's Doodles stamp sets: 'Lily' and 'You Got This'. :o)

How I made my card....

For a card base I used Canson XL Mixed Media Paper. I stamped a sentiment in the center of the card with a black ink. The sentiment impression wasn't so good so I fixed it by tracing letters with a black fine liner.

Then I heat embossed in white lilies directly on the card base, creating a lilies frame. I also did some masking, because I didn't want lilies to overlap. I used masks I had from some previous projects. I store masks in a pouch with a stamp set.

Next up was coloring. I watercolored the card front with Distress Inks Mustard Seed and Fossilized Amber. I dried the card with a Heat It Tool and splattered it with same Distress Inks mixed with a bit of water.

As a finishing touch, I coated lilies and the sentiment with a glossy Wink of Stella and my card was finished. :o)

Love the shimmer!! :o)

Card measurements: 106 mm x 140 mm (4 3/16" x 5 1/2")

Mason Jar CAS Shaker Card (Jane's Doodles DT June Spotlight)

Happy Friday! :o)

This is my second post today. If you missed the first one, just scroll down, or follow a direct link here. I've announced my 6th Bloggoversary winner. :o)

This weekend I'll be sharing 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 yet. Two days ago I shared full list of projects that I'll be sharing (here).

Today I'm sharing my June and July spotlights, three spotlights in total, all in separate blog posts. My posts are scheduled and will go live every hour.

First one today is this CAS (clean and simple), Mason Jar Shaker Card. It was my spotlight project for Jane's Doodles on Thursday, June 4th, 2020.  :o)

To make this card, I was inspired with my own card that I made in April 2018 (here).

I used stamps from two Jane's Doodles stamp sets: a mason jar from 'Life is Good' and a sentiment from 'Cactus'.

How I made my card...

I stamped the mason jar on a white cardstock paper panel and cut it out with sissors (I left a lid uncut). I traced the edges and colored the lid with a black marker. Then I glued an acetate sheet on the panel to close window.

I stamped the sentiment on the acetate window. I fixed some lines with a black fine liner. 

I stamped another jar on a white top folded card base. I ink blended it with Distress Inks. When I was satisfied with the color, I glued 3-D foam squares on the panel, filled the jar with transparent beads and glued the panel on the card base.

Then I stamped another lid on the white cardstock paper scrap and ink blended it with Distress Inks. I cut out the lid, traced edges with the black marker, glued 3-D foam squares on the lid and glued it over the black one.

To make my card sturdier, I glued another white cardstock paper panel inside the card.

As a finishing touch, I coated the lid with a Clear Wink of Stella and my card was finished. :o)

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

List of supplies:

• Jane's Doodles 'Life is Good' stamp set (mason jar)
• Jane's Doodles 'Cactus' stamp set (sentiment)

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)

I Love Math Challenge #17

Hello everyone and welcome to a new I Love Math Challenge!

In this challenge we are creating a Nature themed Card using 9 elements, same or different. Sentiments are counting as one element (words are not counted separately).

A bit about number 9...

Nine (9) is a natural number. It's the highest single-digit number in the decimal system. A group of nine is called an Ennead.

Source: New World Encyclopedia, https://www.newworldencyclopedia.org/entry/9_(number)

And here is my take on the challenge: CAS (clean and simple), Rainbow Snails Card. :o)

9 = 8 rainbow snails + sentiment

How I made my card...

To make this card I used an adorable snail stamp from Stacey Yacula Studio (Purple Onion Designs) and a Purple Onion Designs 'Thank You' sentiment stamp.

First I made a tri-fold card base. I used a white cardstock paper.

I stamped snails and the sentiment on a white cardstock panel, same size as the card base. After an ink dried, I colored snails' bodies with colored pencils. 

Then I colored snails' houses with Distress Inks and a Wink of Stella Clear Brush. I pressed each ink pad on an acrylic block, picked up colors, one by one, with the Wink of Stella Brush and colored snails' houses in rainbow colors.

As a finishing touch I drew white highlights with a white pigment ink pen and my card was finished. :o)

Card measurements: 172 mm x 83 mm  (6 3/4" x 3 1/4")
