I hope you enjoyed the Jane’s Doodles blog hop over the weekend. Jane’s newly released stamps are always amazing – if you haven’t seen it, head here.

I am still in Christmas card making mode, and today is no exception. I love combining sets to create little scenes – as it is snow much fun! Ha. I used Winter Wishes, Winter Fun and the newly released Driving Home for Christmas set.

I also busted out my Nuvo Jewel drops (I only own two of them) to add snow to the scene as well as using a white gel pen. I layered up three of the frames around the scene to add some dimension.

I hope you are having a fabulous week.

I have a sweet card to share with you today featuring Jane’s Love Birds set. I simply adore this set! Head over to the Jane’s Doodle blog to see the post there.

I wasn’t sure where I was going with this card, so when I don’t know, I usually just stamp, colour (in this case with Copics) and fussy cut the images. This is what I did with this one. To add some interest to the blue card base, I stamped some hearts from the Love stamp set to create a tone on tone effect – subtle and not too overpowering.

Hello. Yesterday I had the privilege of being a Guest Designer on the Sunny Studio blog. I was super fun to ink up some of the latest Autumn release stamp sets – lots of class and cuteness. I recommend that you check out the Sunny Studio store for all their great products if you haven’t already.

This first card uses the Autumn Splendor stamp set. It was fun mixing different colours to create the two-toned leaves. The sentiment was stamped onto a Sunny Studio Stitched Heart shaped die.

Next up I used the Woodsy Creatures stamp set to create this hilarious bunch of selfie-taking critters! I gave this to a colleague at work.

Be sure to head to the Sunny Studio blog for more inspiration.

I recently made this underwater shaker card for the Jane’s Doodle blog using the new Under the Sea stamp set. Lots of fun to make.

Some of the underwater elements are adhered on top of the acetate and some are underneath the acetate, so that the sequins can move around in between.

Well the school holidays are nearly over for me and it’s back to work on Monday. It’s so wet, cold and dreary here – perfect indoor weather for card making!

Hello! Welcome to  Jane’s Doodles spotlight blog hop, where we are showcasing the following two stamp sets.

Smile

DoNUTS

First up I have made two cards using the Smile stamp set. These cards each have an action wobbler and when this is combined with google eyes, well, you get a whole lot of FUN!

Next up I have created a card with a watercolour panel made with several Distress ink colours. I love getting all inky with the water splatters. This card features the new DoNUTS stamp set.

GIVEAWAY:
Jane is giving away both stamp sets to one lucky person. Leave a comment an all the stops along the hop and you could be a winner. Jane is also having an Easter sale that starts April 3rd, where all clear stamps are discounted by 30% (only over the Easter weekend). So what are you waiting for?

I was determined NOT to make a blue card for the Muse Card Club this month. Looking through my last Muse cards, blue seems to be something I gravitate too! So how about a dose of yellow for this month?

These sweet birds (coloured with Copics) are from the Penny Black ‘Woodland Friends’ Stamp set and the sentiment is also from a Penny Black set called ‘Live it Up!’. I created the background by creating a wash with Distress inks, and once dry, flicked on some splatters with a paintbrush.

Hope that you will be able to find some time this week to join in on the fun.
