Jane’s Doodles October New Release Hop and a Giveaway

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.

Jane’s Doodles New Release Hop and a Giveaway

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


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.

Dude! – Jane’s Doodles

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

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!

Thanks for stopping by,

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.

Hello Sunshine – Jane’s Doodles

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

Happy Friday! I’m popping in quickly to share a Jane’s Doodles card of mine that was up on the JD blog recently. You can find the original post here.

I used the Spring Icons set to create this card. I stamped the images, coloured them with Copics and then fussy cut them out. I created some background scenes in each of the windows with some post-it notes for masking, a cloud stencil and some Distress Oxide inks before adhering all the elements on top, some with 3D mounting foam, and some straight onto the card.

I then adhered the front panel to a purple notecard.

I love creating these multiple mini-scene cards at the moment. I’m on a roll and have another one coming up next week!

Until then,

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.

If you have any questions, just email me.

Until then,

Marion
