Inspired by Stamping - Layered Windows

Hello, Inspired by Stamping friends. It is Jessi here for my last guest designer spot. I want to start off by thanking Joanna and the team for allowing me to play along with them this month! It has been a pleasure working with you!

I love creating layered windows on cards. So I decided to show you how to complete one with Inspired by Stamping stamp sets:

The first step is to form your A2 card base and cut our a 4in. x 5.25in panel that will be the front of the card. With this panel, use a circle die to cut out the window.

I took the forest stamp from the Winter Friends stamp set and stamped the image twice onto the cardbase. I used a grey ink, so the inks would blend into the scene. I used a light blue to color in the sky portions of the stamp.

The deer image is stamped in a brown ink and colored in with a variety of brown markers. A black marker is used to color the hooves and the tip of the nose.The image is cut out and set aside.

The front panel is flipped over and the snow drift and tree dies are attached to the back side of the window. Several foam dots are attached around the card. The panel is then attached to the cardbase.

The deer image is attached to the scene, tucked behind the die cut trees.  A simple sentiment from the Inspired by Stamping stamp set Poinsettias is stamped onto glitter paper and attached to the card.

Thank you for stopping by today and I hope you have a great day!

Thinking of You - Polar Bears

Hello, everyone! It is Jessi here with you today. I am excited to share with you the card I created using the super fun, Polar Bear stamp set from Poppystamps. If you are new to Poppystamps, check out the selection available in the MarkerPop store.

To create this scene card, I started the card base with a variety of blue prints. I attached them onto the front of the card base. Snowy hills are made using white cardstock and Pink & Main's Scalloped Waves border dies. The polar bears are stamped in black ink onto white cardstock. I used a light grey and colorless blender to create the shadows onto the bears. The iceberg image is stamped in gray ink and also shadowed with a gray marker. The simple sentiment is stamped at the bottom of the card.

Pink & Main's Santa Paws

Happy Saturday, Pink & Main friends! Is it wrong to think of snow when it feels like 100 degrees outside? I could really use a break from this HOT summer heat! 

Today, I am working the super cute Santa Paws stamp set and coordinating dies.

I decided to create a gift tag using the super adorable dog and snowman image. I stamped the image in black and colored it in with a variety of markers. The image is then cut out using the coordinating die. The banner image is completed in the same process. The tag is create using a die. The snowy ground is made using the Pink & Main Scalloped Waves die. The tag is finished off with some colorful twine.

PAWSitively Wonderful!

Hello, Pretty Cute Stamp fans! Hope you are having a fabulous week! I am excited to share my project with you today!

I am working with the adorable Doggone It and Fur Baby stamp sets!

 

 

These dogs are 'barking' to be a part of a scene card! I used a diecut rectangle to create the scene. Using distressed inks, I blended the ink to make the sky and grass. The dog and dog bowl images are stamped and colored onto cardstock. The images are cut out and attached to the scene. The scene card is attached using foam dots to the card base. A few cloud die cuts are added to the scene. A sentiment is stamped and embossed in white on a black banner. The banner is attached to the card.

 

Thank you for stopping by today!

Pink & Main Stamps - Mermaids

Happy Saturday! I missed last week due to a much needed vacation, but I am excited and refreshed to be back to a normal routine! Which means, today is my day on the Pink & Main Stamps blog! :)

 

Pink & Main Stamps July release is full of fun summertime images! If you have not seen the new stamps, please check them out HERE!

 

For my card today, I used the new Mermaids stamp set.

 

 

When I came across theses patterned papers, the idea for this scene came to me.  I just had to wait for the right images to use. So when I received the Mermaids set, it was time to create!

 

Instructions:

1. Color stamped images with a variety of markers and cut the images out.
2. Attached the sun and water strips to the card base.
3. Cut out large wave and attached to the bottom of the card with a few foam dots
4. The stamped images are placed behind the large wave.
5. Stamp sentiment onto the card.

Thank you for stopping by today! I hope you have a wonderful weekend and go outside to enjoy the sun!

Gnome One Like You

Happy Saturday, Pink & Main friends! Today I am showcasing the new Hey Gnomie stamp set! I don't know about you, but I LOVE anything with Gnomes! So when I saw this stamp set was part of the May release, I was super excited!

 

I used the Hey Gnomie stamp set, to create the scene card below:

 

The gnome girl and mushrooms are colored in with a variety of markers. I set those aside to create the rest of the scene. A metal die was used to cut the papers for the background. The clouds are also created with a die. The pieces are attached to a tag shaped card to form the scene.

 

Here is a closer look at the Hey Gnomie stamp set:

Girl Time with Pink & Main Stamps

I love my crafting time. And one of the best things is when my daughter wants to craft with me. At least most of the time :)  Usually , when I sit down to create a card, my helper is right there to play along. Pink and Main Stamps make this super simple! Their images are large and makes it easy for little ones to color them.

 

Today's card uses the kid-friendly Buggy stamp set.

 

These cute bugs were screaming to make a scene card. I started off coloring a few bug images. Next, it is time to create the scene, so I picked out some grass, sky and sun papers. To add texture to the card, I cut slits into the grass and as well as the bottom layer of the sun (hard to tell in this picture).

 

 

To finish of the card, I added a sentiment from Buggy Words stamp set and attached the bugs to the card. To add some more details to the card, I folded the wings of the bee up to look like it is flying on the card.

 

During my card making process, I stamped a few images onto cardstock for my daughter to color. Once she was done, she stated that she wanted to make a card exactly like mine.

 

 

Thank you for stopping by! Have a great day!

Hello, Friend!

Hello, Butterfly Reflections friends! I am excited to be in the Butterfly Reflection, Ink blog today!

One of the colors I gave myself for 2015 was to improve my coloring skills. It is a work in progress and I am having a blast with it!

Have you noticed that there are several cute elephant stamps out there!  I bought the Avery Elle Ellie stamp set from the Butterfly Reflections.

 

This elephant is simply adorable! Because I am learning (and make lots of mistakes) I stamp the scene on a blank cardstock. Then I stamp the images I will be coloring onto a separate sheet. That way if I make a mistake it is not on the actual card. After I few attempts, I was finally happy with the coloring. I cut out the elephant and attached to the card. I did the same step with the balloons. The grass and flowers are stamped and colored. A simple sentiment is used to finish the card.

 

**This Avery Elle set is currently out of stock, but check out the Avery Elle section in the Butterfly Reflection, Ink store to see more amazing images!

 

Thank you for stopping by today! Check out Butterfly Reflections for the latest product! Their selection is full of amazing possibilities!
