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

Today we are spotlighting the newest stamp set to the store called Love. Check it out! It is perfect for those special people in your life. I adore the big and playful font. It’s perfect for this Valentine’s weekend.

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.

Hello! Welcome to the release blog hop for Jane’s Doodles Stamps. You should have arrived from Jane’s awesome blog. She is the wonderful artist behind these fun and creative stamps. Today we are showcasing her latest two stamp sets which are available for purchase in the store.

Love Birds

Coffee Time

First up I’ve created a very CAS and one layer card using the Love Bird’s set. Coloured with Copics and I just love those google eyes – though the bottom bird looks a little coy 😉

This next card uses the Coffee Time set which I love as I am a lover of coffee! My hubby is quite the coffee connoisseur so I have an in-house barista – and he knows exactly how I like my espresso 🙂 This card is painted with Kuretake watercolour paints. I’m still in love with them.

Hello! Today is the release blog hop for Jane’s Doodles Stamps. You should have arrived from Zrinka’s blog.

Today, two new sets are being released into the store and they are Rain or Shine and Ahoy! Once again, Jane has done an amazing job at designing these sets. I find her stamps so easy to create cute little scenes with them.

Rain or Shine

Ahoy!

First up I’ve created a one layer card using the Rain or Shine set.

I added two layers of Glossy Accents to the umbrella for lots of dimension. Unfortunately the white dots I drew on the umbrella got a little lost underneath all of that shine.

Next up is a card using the Ahoy! stamp set. I had a lot of fun colouring these images (with Copics) and creating this scene. It’s going to be a birthday card for my daughter who turns 6 in December. She is very much a tom boy and loves all things pirates, so this card is perfect for her. It hasn’t really shown up in the photo very well, but there is a very lightly sponged blue sky with clouds. If you squint you may see some of it – it is much better in real life.

Hello! Today is the release blog hop for Jane’s Doodles Stamps and we are also welcoming three new DT members. You should have arrived from Ange’s awesome blog.

You are going to love the latest release as it is one very stinkin’ cute stamp set indeed! Check it out.

Winter Wishes

First up is a fun card using most of the critters in the set. I created my own window with a craft knife and a cutting board.

And because I think all the characters in this set are cute, I couldn’t leave the snowman out – so I gave him a card all to himself, drinking a hot cup of chocolate with marshmallows! Both cards use sentiments from another Christmas set called Warm Wishes.

Hello and welcome to the blog hop of a brand new stamp company that is making its debut today – Sunny Studio Stamps. You should have arrived from Elise Constable’s blog.

First up I have made a CAS card using the Birthday Smiles stamp set. I coloured the cupcake in with Copic markers and added some Clear Wink of Stella Brush pen to the frosting.

My second card uses the Snow Kissed Stamp set. I had a lot of fun colouring this cute little penguin in with Copics. I masked off the rectangle in the background and sponged in some Distress ink to create a focal point.

…and popped him up on some mounting foam for some dimension.

If you want to be in the running to win a new Sunny Studio stamp set, then read on. Mendi is giving away one stamp set to three lucky winners, offering a free digital stamp download on the Sunny Studios blog and offering free shipping (in the US) for all orders over $35 in the Sunny Studio Online Store.
