Drops (Stencil)

I only just received my stamps a day ago, so I only had time to make one card – but I managed to use something from every set and also the stencil!

I created a little window scene, which I love to do. All images are stamped and coloured with Copic markers and then fussy cut.

I sponged on some white ink to create a subtle background using the new drops stencil.

I added a little interactive element by making the door open, and put some presents behind it. Very cute!

Jane’s Doodles New Release Hop and a Giveaway

Hello and welcome to another Jane’s Doodles hop where the Design Team and several Guest Designers are showcasing Jane’s latest stamp set called Warm Hugs. Such an awesome autumn set.

I had fun creating a little autumnal scene using the bear, trees and the apples! It was fun colouring these images, which are coloured using Copic Markers.

I used a stencil and some light coloured ink on the base card to add some subtle interest. I used this stencil from Penny Black.

Cute Penny Black Critters – Penny Black

This image has an empty alt attribute; its file name is delight-fb.jpg

Hello. I am back today sharing 3 cards I have made with some adorable Penny Black critters from the Delight Release. I had so much fun colouring these critters.

First up is my favourite if the 3 cards. I used only a portion of the Bundles Birthday stamp set and framed him within a triangle from the Triangles creative die cuts set. The background stamp is a really neat graphic design cling stamp which I love, called Contemporary. The sentiment die cut is from a creative cuts set called Thanks & Hello.

Next up is a cute bunny from the Cuddlesome stamp set. I framed the bunny in an inked cloud frame, which I masked off, and coloured the image with Copics. Simple, but cute. The sentiment is from this Pansy Gaze stamp set.

Last, but not least, is this cute bear from the Bear-y Wishful stamp set. I also used the coordinating cut out die. I paired it up with a balloon from the Balloons die set.

Christmas Bunnies and Tags – Penny Black

I’m back again with some last minute Christmas ideas using Penny Black products from their two winter releases Season of Hope and Winter Wishes.

First up are these these two adorable bunnies from the Hoppy Holidays stamp set. I stamped and coloured them with Copics, then used Prismacolor pencils to add some shading. In order to add some more colour, I stamped the leaves along the top by using part of an image from the Nature’s Allure stamp set in green ink, then blended in some ink over the top. The sentiment is from the Scarved Sweeties set.

Next up are some fun and festive tags using the Get Comfy stamp set and the coordinating dies (Get Comfy cut out). The sentiments are from the Here’s to Xmas stamp set.

These were a lot of fun to make. Which one is your favourite? I’m leaning towards the scarf and beanie one.

To view and or purchase any of these new products from this release, head to the Penny Black online store.

If you have any questions, just email me.

I’m not sure I’ll be back again before Christmas, so I hope you have a blessed time with family and friends.

Merry Christmas,

Marion

Christmas Joy x 3 – Penny Black

I am back again for Penny Black showcasing products from their two winter releases Season of Hope and Winter Wishes.

I have three cards to show you using the Mirthful creative die which I am in love it.

First up I adhered some coloured strips of card stock to the card base before adhering the negative space of the die cut over the strips. To finish off the sentiment, I white heat embossed ‘A time to’ which is from the Here’s to xmas stamp set. To add a small pop of colour and to make it a little more Christmasy, I used a portion of some holly from the Scarved Sweeties stamp set.

Next up I clear heat embossed the wreath from the Nature’s Allure stamp set onto both red and white card stock. I then die cut the Mirthful Joy die from both colours and inlay the pieces onto the card base. It is hard to tell from the photos, but the wreath is continuous across the white die cut as well. The “To the World” sentiment is from the Holiday Snippets stamp set. Again, I used a portion of the holly from the Scarved Sweeties stamp set.

Last but not least is this card. I swapped out the ‘O’ for a bauble from the Beautified Baubles creative die set. I went to town Distress inking the background with Peeled Paint and Mowed Lawn. I flicked on water as well as added some gel pen dots and I love the bokeh effect it created.

I white heat embossed ‘A time to’ which is from the Here’s to xmas stamp set as well as popped up the die cuts with some foam.

So there you have three different ways to use that Penny Black Mirthful Joy die. To view and or purchase any of these new products from this release, head to the Penny Black online store.

If you have any questions, just email me.

I’ll be back really soon,

Cat Polaroid – Penny Black ‘Refreshing’ Inspiration #2

This image has an empty alt attribute; its file name is refreshing-banner-1.jpg

I’m back with my second instalment using the latest release from Penny Black called Refreshing.

I have not one, but two cards to share which are very similar – I just changed up the cat images, the colours and the sentiments.

Both of these cute cat images are from the Plant Joy stamp set. The sentiments are once again made from two different sets. The ‘You’ is from the Only You stamp set (from a previous release), and the ‘are the cat’s meow’ and ‘make life sweet’ portions are from the set called Trust Me Builder. I used the Polaroid creative die for both cards.

It doesn’t show so well in the first photo, but in the second photo you can see that I have used the Zigs and Zags stencil to add some subtle tone-on-tone detail to the base card.

In the second card I again used the Oscillations stencil.

Thanks for stopping by. To view and or purchase any of these new products from these releases, head to the Penny Black online store.

Until then,

Marion
