All you need is love and a dog…

simplicity sister

Hello! I’m knee deep in report writing at the moment, so I’m just quickly popping in with another Penny Black card. This cute little puppy is from a set called Buddy and Duck. Lots of cute images in this set. I sponged on some distress ink over the top of the Zigs and Zags stencil. The sentiment paired so well with the image and it is from the Sentiment Collection set. I’m more of a cat person myself, but I do like it that most dogs are so loyal and happy.

A couple of projects – Jane’s Doodles

Jane's Doodle Banner

Hello crafty peeps. I hope you have been getting in lots of crafty time – because I certainly haven’t. I feel like I am burning the candle at both ends at the moment – and to top it off I have hurt my back, at the gym of all places! I just can’t seem to win!

Anyway, I have a couple of Jane’s Doodles projects to share with you from the last couple of weeks. You can find the posts on the Jane’s Doodles blog here and here.

First up this little tag uses the Special Delivery stamp set. The stamp has a baby in the pram, but I swapped it out for the teddy bear.

My second card uses quite a few Jane’s Doodle stamp sets. I created the bubbly background using the Stripes and Dots stamp set. I used first, second and third generation stamping in 3 different colours as well as white. I stamped onto watercolour paper, as that is what I had layering around. For the smallest dot, I used the eraser on the end of my pencil. The crab is from the Under the Sea set and coloured with Copics. The sentiment is from the Doodle Flowers stamp set.

Cake!
Jane's Doodles cake

I coloured the cake with Copic markers and then fussy cut around the image. I stamped the floral wreath from the Mom stamp set in a light lavender ink onto the card base. In hindsight, I would have used a darker shade of purple as it dried a lot lighter than it stamped – but subtle is good sometimes.

It’s hard to tell, but the icing on the cake has a lovely layer of clear Wink of Stella. Very pretty in real life.

Hello – Jane Doodles

Jane's Doodle Banner

I’ve really had a lot of fun playing with Jane’s latest stamp set called Daisies. It is such a versatile set and the images are really easy to colour. Copic Markers are my favourite way to add colour to an image, and that’s what I have used again here. I added a really subtle blue around the daisies for some added interest. You can find my card here on the Jane’s Doodle blog.

Happy Birthday – Jane’s Doodles

Jane's Doodle Banner

I’m popping in with another card using one of Jane’s Doodles latest stamp sets called Daisies. This card is pretty much identical to one of my cards from the last blog hop (which can be found here), but I decided to step it up a bit and create my own plaid background (using the Stripes and Dots stamp set) and changed up the sentiment and the colours.

Special Delivery

First up I stamped the daisy stamp onto some white card stock and coloured the image with Copics. I then fussy cut around the flowers before adhering it with foam dimensionals onto a yellow card base.

For my second card, I die cut some clouds from some masking paper. I then sponged on some Salty Ocean distress ink and moved the mask several times to create the cloud scene. The stork and baby were coloured with Copic markers and I then fussy cut around these before adhering them with foam dimensionals.
