Hello. Welcome to the spotlight blog hop for Jane’s Doodles Stamps. You should have arrived from Zrinka’s blog.

Jane's Doodles Love

First up I have a one layer card. After stamping the ‘Love You’ sentiment in Hero Arts Pale Tomato ink, I then stamped it again onto some masking paper and cut around the letters leaving a small white border. I placed the mask over my stamped sentiment and then used the love heart stamp from the set and stamped it all over the panel with Hero Arts Soft Pool ink.

To create the background of this next card, I mixed some Festive Berries Distress ink with some white embossing paste and used a love heart stencil from My Favorite Things. The ‘You’ and ‘Me’ were white heart embossed onto the heart die cut. I hand drew a plus with a Versamark pen and then white heat embossed that as well.

You are my Sunshine – Sunny Studio

How awesome is the Sunny Studio stamp set called Sunny Sentiments? Check it out if you haven’t already. It is such a fun and easy set to use and it has co-ordinating dies which is even better.

My card is pretty straight forward. I did some masking in the background to create the sun rays. The clouds and sun were stamped and die cut, then coloured with Copic markers. You can see the sun has a nice layer of Wink of Stella clear glitter brush pen.

Some elements are popped up with foam tape to add some interest.

Sending a little love – Sunny Studio

I had some fun creating this card using the Sunny Studio Sending My Love stamp set. This set has lots of sweet critters, but I concentrated on the mailbox for this one.

I created some masks out of Inkadinkadoo masking paper for the clouds and the grass and then sponged on some distress ink (Tumbled Glass, Peacock Feathers and Mowed Lawn). All the images are from the Sending my Love set, except the Love word sentiment which is from the Furever Friends die set.

I wanted some texture on the card base (to add some interest to a rather CAS card), and the best I could find was some Tim Holtz Distress watercolour card stock.

I Love You – Sunny Studio

Hello! How has your week been? School started back this week. Can’t believe my kiddos are in Yr 1 and Yr 4.  I’m also back in the classroom. I have a lovely class and am excited about the new year ahead – although I need a few more hours in the day to get everything done. Too much to do, not enough time. Can you relate?

Anyway I have a new card up on the Sunny Studio blog. Rather clean and simple, but perfect for that someone special. I am loving the new stitched heart dies and I created my own sentiment with the Sweet Script stamp set. The banner is from the Sunny Border stamp set and it too has coordinating dies.

Sunny Studio - I Love You | Marion Vagg

When I first made this card it looked very flat to me – something was missing. So I left it and walked away. I then had the idea to add some subtle shading with Copic Markers to the banner, and it was just what it needed – oh and the heart needed a coat of Wink of Stella as well!

Hello – Sunny Studio

Hello. I hope you are having a great day. I’m popping in to share two cards that are also over on the Sunny Studio blog. These cards use the Backyard Bugs stamp set – another fun and cute set to create with.

I’ll be honest with you here – this first card took me about 5 attempts! I had an idea and it took me a little longer than I had hoped to get there. But get there I did. I must be getting old!
To start with a partially die cut a circle (leaving the bottom of the circle uncut). Next, with some stamping and masking, I stamped my little scene. From there, I used my scissors and cut around the toadstool house to create the cut-a-way section. I blended in some ink on the base card with Salty Ocean distress ink and then popped the front panel up with some 3D mounting foam. Easy! (Hindsight is a wonderful thing!)

SS Hello | Marion Vagg

The next card is pretty much the same, except I stepped the process up and created a shaker card.

Which one do you prefer? We are divided in my house. My husband likes the first one better, but my daughter loves the shaker card!
