Miss Ink Stamps – Hip Hippo Hooray

Happy Thursday everyone! Thank you for stopping by. Today I have an adorable hippo card using stamps and a bunch of stencils layered for a cool background from Miss Ink Stamps.

I knew the general design I wanted to create so today I jumped straight in with my background panel. I chose a fun purple cardstock from my stash and sprayed the Fine Lines stencil with pixie spray. With delicate stencils like this pixie spray is your best friend, I promise! After letting it sit for a few minutes I pressed the stencil to my panel and inked up with a purple ink for that great tone-on-tone stripe! I love it! Next I used the Hand Drawn Hearts stencil with white pigment ink over the stripes. Then, last but not least, I used the Tiny Snowfall stencil and spread lovely lavender glitz glitter gel from Thermoweb through it.

I set that panel aside to dry and cleaned up my mess. Then I chose images from Hippo Hooray, stamped and colored them with my copics. I used the scan-n-cut to cut them out. For my scene, I die cut a circle with the Trinity Stamps embossed edge circle stack from teal cardstock. I inked up the bottom portion with a blending brush and brown dye ink, then I went around the rest of the edge with teal ink for a little depth.

I adhered the seaweed and rocks with liquid glue and popped all the critters up with foam squares. Then I popped the circle up on the stenciled panel with foam tape and adhered the whole thing to a white card base. Last, I stamped and heat embossed a sentiment on black cardstock and die cut it with a Pink & Main large sentiment strip die. I popped the sentiment up with foam squares and trimmed off the edge.

For finishing touches today I just added loads of fun white gel pen highlights to all the images. Then I added black glaze pen to the critter eyes and after it dried put a tiny white highlight back in. This really makes the eyes come to life. I love it!

Do you layer your stencils over top of each other? It’s a newer technique for me but I just love it every time I play with a new combo!

Jane’s Doodles – Love Is In The Air

Welcome everyone! Thanks for stopping by. I’m super excited to be over on the Jane’s Doodles blog today with a sweet card featuring the Love Is In The Air digital stamp set. These pups are absolutely adorable and so fun to color!

I printed out my images and colored them with my copic markers. Then I used the scan-n-cut to cut them all out and switch gears to my background.

I took an A2 white panel and inked up the layered hearts stencil set from Trinity Stamps with yellow dye inks and my blending brushes. I used 2 colors of ink, just a lighter hand on one layer and heavier on the second so the color gets darker with each layer closer to the center. Then I trimmed it down to 4×5.25 inches and splattered it with gold watercolor.

When the watercolor was dry, I popped the panel up with foam tape on a white card base and then added my images with foam squares too. Last, I die cut the sentiment with a large sentiment strip from Pink & Main and popped it up too. I trimmed anything hanging over the edge and moved on to finishing touches.

I started wtih glossy accents on the puppy noses and white gel pen accents but then I came back in with glossy accents on anything that looked metal on the plane, the dog’s goggles and tag. Finally I ended with unicorn Stickles on the clouds for a little more shimmer.

Isn’t this so fun!?! I was inspired by Nichol Spohr to ink my background like this and I just love how it turned out. Click HERE to see her video that inspired me.

Coffee Loving Cardmakers – Life Happens, Coffee Helps

Hello there! It’s time for Tuesday Tea over on the Coffee Loving Cardmakers today. I recently indulged in the overstock sale at Scrapbookpal.com and snagged a few things I had been resisting prior to now. When my order came in I just had to cut this cool MFT Stamps Color Block die immediately and play with it. It’s super fun to intertwine together, stack and layer.

After I cut it out in a rainbow of cardstock and played with it for a while, I came up with this cool background and thought I simple focal image would be perfect to turn it in to a card. When I was moving things around this weekend I rediscovered this awesome couple of stamp sets from Sweet ‘n’ Sassy Stamps – I Like Big Cups and Coffee Talk 2. The immediately came to mind when I was wanting an awesome image for my card.

I stamped the mug, then the sentiment inside, colored it with my copics and fussy cut it out. I always go around the edge with a black marker when I fussy cut things. It gives the image a much more finished look.

I popped the coffee mug up with foam squares and went digging in my stash for embellishments to dress things up a bit. Today I decided to use this awesome rainbow of bubbles from Trinity Stamps called Dewdrops. They are fantastic and add so much to the design today!

Super simple card today but the rainbow makes me smile and I just love both of those stamp sets I used too!

Trinity Stamps – Sweet Shop Release Day

Hey crafty friends! I’m super excited to be apart of the release day hop for Trinity Stamps’ Sweet Shop Release today! We’re having an Instagram hop that I’ll link to at the bottom so you can enter for a chance to win. But first, I have 3 projects to share today featuring goodies from the new release!

First, up I’ve got this fun card featuring the new Bon Bon Box stamps and dies plus a sentiment from the Simply Sentimental Love stamps. Isn’t this chocolate box so fun! There are little stamps in the set to decorate your chocolates too. I heat embossed them white for fun but you could do so many things to customize your box of chocolates. I love it!

I also used the Marshmallow Alphabet dies to cut the word love before popping up my mini sentiment strip on the top. Then I finished things off with white clay heart embellishments.

Next up I have this card featuring just the Simply Sentimental Love stamps and dies with some jelly drop heart embellishments. Isn’t this so fun!?! I just stamped the love using my MISTI and shifted it down 3/4 inch between each color change. Then for the last one, I used the die cut and shadow instead of stamping it.

Once the stamping was done, before adding my die cuts and embellishments I splattered gold watercolor across the design for some texture and shimmer. I think it’s the perfect addition.

I trimmed the panel down to 5.5×4 inches and added a strip of gold glitter cardstock to my card base before popping the stamped panel up with foam tape. I absolutely love how this card turned out!

Last but not least, I have a pillow box and tag with the new Cozy Bear Sweet Shop stamps and dies. This was so much fun to create! I stamped a few images from the set and colored them with my copic markers. Then I cut a pink tag using the slimline tag dies and stamped the counter plus some extras to sit on the counter with light brown ink. I added foam squares to the images, including the sentiment and popped them up on the tag.

I die cut a teal pillow box and randomly stamped the smaller candy images from the set all over it in a teal ink for a tone-on-tone look. I added scrappy tape to the tab and assembled my box. I wound red twine from my stash around the box and threaded the tag through before tying it in a bow.

For finishing touches I added black glaze pen to the bears’ eyes and glossy accents to the their noses, bowtie and lollipop. Just a little shine goes a long way to make the characters come to life.

I hope you enjoyed today’s projects! This is a super fun release with lots of year round possibilities. Click HERE to head to the Instagram hop.

Miss Ink Stamps – I Drink Coffee So I Don’t…

Welcome again everyone! I have a fun mini slimline card to share with you featuring stamps and stencils from Miss Ink Stamps. Today I pulled out the super fun Slim’s Whims stamp set and paired it with a new fabulous stencil called Sweater Weather. I love the texture of this stencil! I can’t wait to get really messy with it! It’s going to be great!

I started today by stamping images from Slim’s Whims and colored them with my copic markers. Then I used the scan-n-cut to cut them all out. I used a tape runner to adhere the bow tie and cup to slim and then thought it was too perfect not to decorate his mug with that sentiment. So I popped it in my MISTI and stamped it right away.

For my background, I die cut the largest mini slimline stitched panel from Trinity Stamps from kraft cardstock. Then I cut the next size down from dark blue. I blended white pigment ink through the Sweater Weather stencil over the blue panel and popped it up on the kraft with foam tape. Then, using Slim as a guide, I stamped and heat embossed another sentiment at the top of the panel. Once that cooled I added it to a white mini slimline card base.

Before I popped Slim in place I decided to give the background just a little texture and shimmer by splattering gold watercolor all over it. It’s not big but in person it gives just a little something that I love!

Then I popped Slim up with foam tape and came in with a white gel pen to give highlights all over the images. Last, I used the coordinating Trinity Stamps die set to create an envelope and stamped the glasses image on the outside of it in brown ink.

This set always makes me smile and this time was no different. It’s super fun to dress Slim up and color him in different color ways too. I actually don’t think I’ve colored him the same way twice yet. It’s great!

Coffee Loving Cardmakers – Peppermint Spice and Everything Nice

Hello again crafty friends! It’s Tuesday Tea with Twiddler’s Nook over on the Coffee Loving Cardmakers blog today and I had an absolute blast creating today’s card. I don’t think I’ve ever been so free thinking with combining products from different companies. It was so fun!

To start my card, I cut the Boo Brew mug and stitching detail from Trinity Stamps from pink cardstock. Then I cut a nested heart to go with it. That’s as far as my planning went. Lol. So I grabbed my blending brushes, Lawn Fawn ballet slippers and guava inks and inked the edges of my die cuts. Then I wanted texture on the background heart so I went looking for a stencil or something. I instantly landed on this Pink & Main woodgrain embossing folder.

I got into my Newton’s Nook stash for my framework dies to cut a background panel and remembered the awesome peppermint candy dies and everything just came together from this point on. I cut the background from white cardstock and then used the petite hearts stencil that was just revealed yesterday (It will be available to purchase on Friday.) I didn’t want everything to be stark white so I used Lawn Fawn pizza crust ink on the edges of the background panel and my card base. To dress up my mug a little I cut the smallest heart from the Heart Frames set from the same cardstock as the large heart and glued it down.

I popped the background panel up with foam tape, then popped the large heart up too. I used a combination of liquid glue and foam squares for my mug and peppermint candies. Then I die cut a stitched banner from Newton’s Nook banner trio die set and stamped a sentiment from the Cup of Cocoa stamp set in ballet slippers ink. I dusted the edges with the same pizza crust ink and popped it up with foam squares too.

I used my scissors to trim off the excess hanging over the edge and moved on to finishing touches. For that I just glue three Trinity Stamps jelly drop hearts down – one to the mug and two by the sentiment banner.

I hope you enjoyed today’s project as much as I did creating it.

Miss Ink Stamps – Happy New Year Bottle Tag

Hello everyone! I’m back with a quick New Year project featuring Miss Ink Stamps Punny Farm Pigs and Happy New Year sets and a couple of dies from Trinity Stamps.

My daughter loves having sparkling cider at the holidays so I thought it would be fun to make a bottle tag to decorate it while it sits on the counter tomorrow.

I stamped images from Punny Farm Pigs and colored them with my copic markers before using the coordinating dies to cut them all out. I used liquid glue to adhere all of the accessories on and set them aside to dry.

Next, I die cut a bottle tag from Trinity Stamps and stamped images from Happy New Year all over it in VersaMark ink. I heat embossed them in gold for that classic New Year decor vibe. Next, I die cut cheers from the bottle tag die set from white cardstock 4 times and black once. Then I cut the shadow from gold glitter cardstock and used liquid glue to adhere all the layers together. Last, I stamped and heat embossed Happy New Year in gold and trimmed it into as trip. For a little dimension and to help it stand out I inked the edges with white pigment ink. Then I added foam squares to my images and sentiment strip.

I adhered the cheers die with liquid glue, removed the release paper from the foam squares and popped everything in place.

For finishing touches I added black glaze pen to the pig’s eyes and white gel pen highlights to all the images. Once the eyes were dry, I came back in with a little white gel pen highlight on those too.

Here’s a look at the tag hanging on the sparkling cider bottle. Isn’t it just the cutest!?! I think so and I’m excited to surprise my daughter with it tomorrow. She’ll love it too!

Trinity Stamps – Happy New Year Snowman

Hello everyone! The year is coming to a close and I can’t even believe it! It flew by but oddly drug on at the same time. This year was much harder for me than 2020 so I’m happy to see it go and ready to move forward with happy positive vibes!

Today I’m popping in with a super fun slimline card featuring all Trinity Stamps dies, stencils and stamps! So much cuteness!

I started by cutting all the elements for the Slimline Happy Snowman die and assembled them with liquid glue. I cut the scarf and hat band from light blue cardstock and inked them up with blue dye ink and my blending brush before adhering them in place.

Next, I inked up a white panel with distress oxide inks in chipped sapphire, blueprint sketch and wilted violet. I spritzed the panel with water and blotted it dry. Then I used the Slimline Snowfall stencil – layer 1 is white pigment ink with my blending brush and layer 2 is iridescent glitz glitter gel and a stencil pal.

Once the panel was dry I die cut it with the largest Slimline Stitched Panel die. Then I cut 2 more scraps of white with the same stitched panel to create snow hills. I trimmed the top of each white scrap with the cloud border from the Slimline Scenic Borders die set. I like the bumpy look of snow drifts.

I inked the edges of the snow drifts with my blending brush and light teal ink. Then I stamped Happy New Year from the Holiday Tag Helper stamp set on the front one. Now it’s time to assemble everything!

I adhered the inked panel to a white slimline card base with liquid glue. Then I added the back snow drift the same way. I added foam tape to the snowman and used the front snow drift as a guide where to pop him in place. Then I carefully added foam tape to the front snow drift so that it didn’t interfere with the snowman and added it last.

Isn’t this just the cutest scene!?! I love it! I don’t normally send new year cards out but I ran out of Christmas cards and time to send them so I’m going to send a few out and have had fun creating them!

Miss Ink Stamps – Winter Thank You

Hello fabulous friends! Thanks for stopping by today. I’ve pretty much made myself stop making Christmas cards at this point but I’m not letting go of all the cute winter and holiday images yet! So I switched gears to creating some thank you cards to use through the winter months instead. Today I’m sharing this sweet mini scene featuring stamps and stencils from Miss Ink Stamps.

To create my card, I chose a circle die that would fit the image from Warm Winter Wishes and cut it out. Then I stamped the image and colored it with my copic markers. To set the scene, I used BG000 for some snow shading but dark blue ink and a blending brush to shade in the sky. Then I came in with white gel pen accents for falling snow and extra snow drifts on the ground.

Next I took a white panel and cut it down to 4×5.25 inches and adhered it to the Feed the Birds stencil. I spread gold glitter glitz gel through it and set the panel aside to dry. Once it was dry and I started layering things together, I didn’t like all the white so I inked it up with light brown ink and a blending brush for some contrast.

Next, I cut a banner from white cardstock and stamped a sentiment from the Fall Bouquet stamp set. I added foam tape to the back of everything, layering on my scene and sentiment first so I could trim off anything hanging over the edge. Then I added the whole panel to a white card base.

For finishing touches I added glossy accents to parts like the berries, ornaments and snowman eyes.

Isn’t this just a sweet little scene and so fun with the glittery background!?! I think it will be a perfect thank you card to send someone after Christmas!

Miss Ink Stamps – Holly Jolly Christmas Tag

Happy Thursday everyone! I hope your week is going nicely. Are you all ready for Christmas? I usually am but I still have packages arriving through the weekend so I’ll be wrapping right up until the moment this year it seems. Oy!

Back to the reason I’m popping in today…crafting!!! I have a SUPER fun Christmas tag featuring stamps from Miss Ink Stamps and a tag die from Trinity Stamps. I wanted to make a coffee themed tag to play along with the Ellen Hutson 12 days of Christmas tags so I pulled out Java Joe’s…but how to turn it Christmassy?!? I started digging and wouldn’t you know that the accessories in the Ice Day stamp set fit perfectly!

This was just too fun to create! I stamped images from Ice Day and Java Joe’s and colored them with my copics. I used the scan-n-cut to cut them out and liquid glue to adhere everything together. I added foam squares to the back and moved on to my tag base.

I stamped the coffee shop, brick detail and a topiary on a kraft slimline tag with sepia VersaFine ink. Then I blended distress oxide ink on the tag – brown edges, red on the building and a little touch of green on the plant. I spritzed it with water and flicked watered down brown and red ink on the tag. Next I snagged some snowflakes from Snow One Like You and stamped them in the background with white pigment ink.

Next, I removed the release paper from the foam squares and popped my images in place. I stamped a sentiment from Holly Jolly in the same brown ink and trimmed it into a strip before popping it up with a foam strip.

For finishing touches I added glossy accents to the package bow, candy cane and coffee cup lid. Then I added unicorn Stickles to Joe’s Santa hat and black glaze pen to his eyes.

For stability and a clean surface to write on, I die cut another tag from white cardstock and adhered them together before threading my ribbon through the hole and tying it up.

I am SO EXCITED about how this fun tag turned out! I hope you liked it too!
