Hello and welcome to another Jane’s Doodles hop where the Design Team and special guests are showcasing Jane’s latest stamp sets – Sleepy Fox and Greetings. Plus today is an extra special day for me, because it is my birthday!

The order of the blog hop is at the bottom, so if you get lost, be sure to follow the links below.

Let’s take a look at Jane’s fabulous new products.

Sleepy Fox

Greetings

I have made two cards for today’s hop. What I love about the Greetings stamp set is that it is very versatile and can be used all year round. Just change up the car licence plate message and what is stacked on top of the car, and you are good to go. I coloured the images with Copics and for a fun background, I freehand drew some tone-on-tone Copic lines onto some dark blue card stock. Fun and whimsical.

Next up I stamped and coloured some of the images from the Sleepy Fox stamp set and fussy cut them out. I created a little scene on some blue card stock and also used Jane’s Grass dies and her Stripes Stencil to complete the scene.

You should have arrived from Milka’s blog. If you get lost at any time, then the order of the hop is down below.

Let’s take a look at Jane’s fabulous new stamp sets.

Iris

Happy Day

Today I have made a card using one of the adorable mice from the Happy Day set. So darn cute! I stamped the mouse and balloon and coloured them with Copics. I like to fussy cut my images with a white border – as it leaves me with options for placement. I lightly inked a light blue oval with some Broken China Distress Oxide Ink onto the card panel, before popping up the images with some foam tape. The Happy sentiment is an old WPlus9 die, which I coloured with Copics and stacked up 3 times. The Happy Day sentiment is from Jane’s new Happy Day set.

I added some white gel pen dots to the mouse’s sweater. He is just so adorable!

Hello! It’s been a while since I have posted some Penny Black goodness here on my blog, but I am delighted to rectify that today. I have made two very different cards using some products from the Delight release.

First up I have used the Triangles creative dies to create a simple geometric design. I die cut the larger triangles from scrap coloured card stock. Then to create a tone-on-tone effect, I coloured the smaller triangle frames with a matching Copic marker before adhering it to the larger triangle.

The sentiment is from a set called Bear-y Wishful – I did a little stamp surgery and just used the first part of the sentiment. This card would make a great masculine card and would be easy to reproduce.

Next up is a card using the Captivating stamp set. Such a beautiful floral set. I dug out the Zig Clean Color Watercolor pens and had a great time water-colouring. To add some extra shading and depth to the flowers, I used some Prismacolor pencils. The sentiment is from an older set called Butterfly Garden.

• Penny Black products used:
• 51-647 Triangles creative dies
• 30-804 Bear-y Wishful
• 40-774 Captivating
• 30-558 Butterfly Garden stamp set

Happy Tuesday! I’m popping in to share a card of mine that is up on the Jane’s Doodles blog. You can find the original post here.
I just had to use the newly released Surf’s Up! again – but this time I used that cheeky mouse. SO much fun. I used 3 different Distress Oxide inks on the background (Salty Ocean, Peacock Feathers and Blueprint Sketch) with lots of sponging, spraying water and stencilling, which I repeated several times.

I coloured in the mouse with Copics and did some fussy cutting. Cute don’t ya think?

I’m currently on school holidays and we are in a two week lockdown, so I’ll have plenty of time to get crafty!

Hello and welcome to another Jane’s Doodles hop where the Design Team and special guests are showcasing Jane’s latest stamp sets – Surf’s Up and Fresh Cut Flowers. I am once again VERY excited about these new additions as they are so cute…especially the Surf’s Up! So here they are in all their glory…

Surf’s Up

Fresh Cut Flowers

For this first card I masked off the sand area with some post-it notes and then stamped the images from Surf’s Up, so that they are buried in the sand. I then used a Copic multi-liner to draw over the sand edge before colouring in the whole image with Copic markers. I simply love this alligator.

To create the impression of sand, I used 3 different copic marker colours and dotted them on. To blur the bottom and side edges a bit, I went over it with a colourless marker.

My next card uses one of the gorgeous floral arrangements from the Fresh Cut Flowers set. I stamped it in the corner, then used a ruler and Copic multi-liner to draw a border around the image. I love colouring florals and making them look really bright and vibrant. The sentiment is from an older set called Anemone. To add some tone-on-tone detail to the base card, I sponged on some ink using this stencil.

Hello and welcome to another Jane’s Doodles blog hop where the Design Team and special guests are showcasing Jane’s latest stamp set – Sky’s the Limit. I am VERY excited about this stamp set. It is so darn stinkin’ cute and it might be a new fav! You should have arrived here from Bobbi’s blog.

My card today was really fun and relaxing to colour. I stamped and coloured the images with Copics and then fussy cut around them.

The background clouds use this MFT cloud stencil and I sponged on three colours of Distress Oxide Ink. The cloud dies are these ones from Penny Black.
