Jess Crafts Digitals: Penguin Coffee Cup

Happy Valentine's Eve!  I'm back for Jess Crafts Digitals; you can find out more about Jess Craft Digitals by clicking here.

I'm not sure what it is about Valentine's day but I always find myself making a card last minute.  I love this stamp from Jess Crafts Digitals it originally was released in December but I think its perfect for Valentine's day especially with the heart in his hands.

First I sized the images to my desired dimensions. Next I printed the digital out using my printer, then I used my Brother Scan n Cut to cut out the image.  My Spectrum Noirs were used to add color to the digital image as well as the hearts.  Then I chose the yellow glitter paper and wood grain paper from my collection of papers I've gathered throughout the years.  I finished it off by adding Spectrum Noir Sparkle overlay on the penguins belly.

Gerda Steiner Designs: Kitten with Heart for Valentine's Day - Digital Stamp

 

To create this card you cut a 8.5 x 11.5 paper in half and score at 2 1/8" on the left and right (I just flipped the paper to make it easier then trying to determine another measurement).  I sized the digital image to my desired dimensions. Next I printed the digital out using my printer, then I used my Brother Scan n Cut to cut out the image.  My Spectrum Noirs were used to add color to the digital image.  Then you die cut half of a heart on the left panel and then on the right panel.  Next I used a Darcie embossing folder to create the "XOXO" pattern, afterwards I die cut a heart out of white paper and adhered the digital image.  To keep the card closed I cut some sticker package down and adorned it with Valentine washi tape.  I hope you enjoy.  Happy Valentine's Day!!!

With Valentine's day quickly approaching, I'm working on another Valentine's day card.  First I sized the images to my desired dimensions and reversed one of the whales to make them a couple.  Next I printed the digital out using my printer, then I used my Brother Scan n Cut to cut out the images.  My Spectrum Noirs were used to add color to the digital image.  The ocean background using Ranger Posh Impressions Rainbow Inks, Luminous Metallics in the following colors: Violet, Blue and Teal. I placed chunky sequins and beads in the center of the card for the shaker aspect of the card. I finished it off by finding the paper for the shaker card border in my paper bin and cutting it using scalloped rectangle stackables and adhering to my card using foam tape.

Newton's Nook Designs + Neat & Tangled

 

Newton's Nook Designs current Inky Paws Challenge is Use a Heart and the Neat & Tangled challenge blog called Little Tangles and the theme is Anything Goes.  I used Newton's Nook Designs stamp set called Beautiful Wings and Neat & Tangled stamp set Floral Heart.  I used my Spectrum Noir markers to color the images.  The sequins are from Neat & Tangled collection Bubble Gum mix.  My design inspiration for this card came from Daria from Neat & Tangled.

Newton's Nook Designs: Coffe Swap

 

For the New Year I decided to step outside my comfort zone and join a coffee swap card exchange.  I'm not really a coffee drinker (except for holiday flavors) but I have this adorable Newton's Nook Designs stamp: Newton Loves Coffee.  The funny thing about this swap is the first person I got was my sister and she absolutely loves rainbows, so how could I not color the "Meow" and cups rainbow colors.  I color the Newton to look like my Logan which I do believe is her favorite of my babies, since he's easy going and will let you pick him up just about anyway as long as you are giving him attention. I used my Spectrum Noir markers to add color to the adorable die cut "Meow" and the stamps.  I chose patterned paper that I add in my paper bin. I hope you enjoyed this design. Happy Crafting!

Gerda Steiner Designs: Critter Swap 2017

For my first critter swap for 2017 I used this free Gerda Steiner Designs image.  First I printed the digital out using my normal printer, then I used my Brother Scan n Cut to cut out the image.  The Brother Scan n Cut didn't cut all the small inside details of the image so I used my hobby knife to give it a clean finish. My Spectrum Noirs were used to add color to the digital image.  "Have a Mice" was created using cole's ABCs lawn cuts by Lawn Fawn .  I finished it off by finding the paper background in my paper bin and cutting it using large stitched rectangle stackables by Lawn Fawn. I hope you enjoyed this card.  Happy Crafting!
