Jane’s Doodles New Release Blog 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 some special Guest Designers are showcasing Jane’s latest products: a stamp set called Oh Baby, a new Stripes Stencil and a Grass Die.

I’m the first cab off the rank today, but if you get lost at any time, the order of the hop is down below.

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

Oh Baby

Stripes Stencil

Grass Die

My first card today uses the the new Stripes Stencil (which I used in both directions to create a gingham pattern) and also images from the Oh Baby and the Spring Picnic stamp set (which is also a very new set into Jane’s store). The images were stamped, coloured with Copics and then fussy cute. I used this die to create some holes for the critters to peek through. The sentiment is from the Oh Baby set.

Next up is another cutie critter card using images from the Oh Baby and the Spring Picnic stamp sets, as well as the Stripes Stencil again. I love creating little scenes and this was no exception.

And my last little project is a cute little pillow box, to match the card.

…and I had to fill it with something yummy!

Hugs – Jane’s Doodles

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

Happy weekend! I have a fun Jane’s Doodles card to share with you today using the Free as a Bird stamp set. I love to colour these birds really bright – it makes me happy. All coloured with Copics. I also used this die from Sunny Studios stamps. Clean and simple just the way I like it.

I added some white gel pen detail to each bird for some interest. This card makes me smile.

Thanks for stopping by,

Good Vibes Only – Jane’s Doodles card and video

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

Hey hey friends. I’m back with not only a Jane’s Doodles card, but I also made a video of the assembly process! I haven’t made a card video in over 8 years.

First up the card though. I stamped and coloured the images from the Summer Icons set and then coloured them with Copics. You may have seen I posted two short videos onto my IG account colouring the crab and the palm tree (@mademarionstudio).

I created the windows openings using a the Window Quad Square die from Sunny Studio stamps.

Here is a video of how I assembled the card.

I love how this card turned out. Summer is certainly on its way out here in Australia and autumn is pushing its way in. I miss summer already!

Thanks for joining me today,

Sunny Studio Guest Designer

I’m Guest Designing on the Sunny Studio blog this weekend. I got to play around with some of the new Sunny Studio 2016 Winter Release. There are some awesome stamps and dies in this release – be sure to check it out here.

First up I used the Merry Sentiments stamp set and matching die to create a colourful string of lights. The tree branch is from the Holiday Style stamp set and I stamped it several times in two different shades of green. I used the Merry Word die as part of the sentiment.

Next up is another Christmas card using the same sets as before. To add some dimension to the card, I created some ornament hangers with silver thread. To compliment this, I silver heat embossed the sentiment.

Lastly, I have used the Small Holly die (which is a free gift with every purchase from the Sunny Studio store while stocks last) to create a simple embellishment for a gift tin. I heat embossed the sentiment from the Merry Sentiments Stamp set onto some vinyl adhesive stickers.

Sunny Studio Guest Designer

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.

Grateful for you Sunny Studio | Marion Vagg

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.

Sending Big Hugs and a Farewell – Sunny Studio

Sadly, today is my last post as a designer for Sunny Studio. I have had a blast being on the Design Team for the last 6 months. I am very thankful to Mendi, the owner and designer of all the Sunny Studio products, for allowing me the opportunity to play and have fun with her super sweet products.

This week the team are showcasing the Sunny Borders stamp set. I have used the chevron stamp out of this set to create a fun backdrop for the cute critters out of the Sending My Love stamp set.

I just changed up the colours in the chevrons and also the critter.
