I have another Jane’s Doodle card to share with you today using the newly released Love Birds set. Such a fun set to play with. For the sun rays in the background, I used a SSS die and an embossing mat to create the impression. Just another technique to use to get more use out of your dies.

Short and sweet from me today,

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.

Today I have a Sunny Studio card to share with you that is also up on the Sunny Studio blog, showcasing the newly released Rain or Shine stamp set. I created the water coloured background with my Kuretake water colour paints (I just can’t stop using them). I added a couple of layers until I was happy with it. The images were coloured with Copic markers (which seems to be my go to medium at the moment).

Speaking of the weather, it has been sunny and summery here today. The kids went swimming at the beach and it was just perfect. Gotta love summer. What’s the weather like for you?

Today I’m popping in with a card that was on the Jane’s Doodles blog earlier this week. It uses the Ahoy stamp set. I did some masking and ink blending to create the sand and water. The images were coloured with Copic markers, then I fussy cut round them before adhering some of them with foam dimensionals.

The school holidays are winding down and I have to start back at school Thursday week. The summer holidays are nearly over. We did manage to get away and we went to Melbourne for 4 nights. It was fun exploring the city and surrounds. And the food we ate! Well Melbourne, you know how to do food. I put up some photos over on Instagram if you are interested – just search for @marionvagg.

Hello. I’m popping in really quickly with a chocolate wrapper project that is up on the Sunny Studio blog. It uses the newly released Sending My Love stamp set.

The bear is coloured with Copic Markers and I added some red Stickles to the heart for some shine. The wrap slips on and off very easily. I may have to make a few more of these and can change up the sentiment as there are loads of different options in the set. Make sure you check it out here.

I appreciate you stopping by,
