Hi everyone! Thanks for checking out Day 2 of the blog hop for LDRS Creative. I’m sharing a simple card that’s easy to put together and gives you time for some relaxing coloring!

For today’s card, I’m using two stamp sets together that were both previously only available on HSN. My main image focuses on Polkadoodles’ Holly stamp set, Story Time. This is a larger image that takes up most of an A2 card panel. I stamped this on the bottom right of my card panel and colored it in.

Once I finished coloring this, I wanted to add a little color in the top left corner so I used Swimming Hole hybrid ink and blended it very lightly.

Since this set doesn’t come with a sentiment, I pulled out the If Friends Were Flowers stamp and die set. This set was also previously only available on HSN, and it has so many different sentiments that you can use. I die cut the large “friend” sentiment out of black cardstock and also stamped the smaller sentiment using Watermark ink with white embossing powder. It’s so perfect for this card.

I decided to trim the top and left of the card by a quarter of an inch. This helped the sentiment fill up the white space in the top left.

I’m loving this simple and clean card. As with most cards, all you need is an image and a sentiment. I’m loving how this turned out and I hope you did too!

Thanks for stopping by! Come back again soon for some more inspiration and ideas!

Hi everyone! Thanks for checking out the blog hop for LDRS Creative. I hope you’ve been enjoying all the new items and get inspired to create. I have a project using the new stamp set called Super Critters! It’s one of the new interactive stamp sets that was showcased at Creativation and I personally think it’s super cute.

I was drawn to the raccoon because it’s pretty adorable and it’s actually a critter I don’t see often in stamp sets. This particular raccoon is the image that has an interactive element to it.

I stamped the main image and the interactive body part (tail and leg) using Raven hybrid ink, which you can use with alcohol markers and watercolor. For the main image, you don’t need to color the tail and the left leg since you actually trim this portion off.

The interactive body part goes right behind the main image and is held together by a brad. I only had a star brad around, and this is ok because it looks like a little tattoo on the raccoon.

I used a few of the smaller images from the set to create a background scene. Using a pencil, I filled out the rest, including a little fence so the raccoon with her two paws could be looking over something.

Once I finish drawing everything in, I used an alcohol marker friendly pen to outline all the areas I drew in. I went ahead and colored everything bringing the scene to life.

For the main raccoon, I added a little bit of foam tape behind his head and behind his right leg. The foam tape gives the image enough dimension so that the brad and his tail and leg could move freely.

To finish off this card, I added the sentiment “You’ve Stolen My Heart”. I also used the little hearts from the Scalloped Rectangle Die and cut hearts from red glitter cardstock. It adds a cute touch to the card and corresponds to the sentiment.

I love how it turned out and I’m loving the movement. Check out the card in action over on my instagram!

Thanks for stopping by! Come back again soon for some more inspiration and ideas!

9 Quick & Easy Cards Gift Set

Posted in Just Because, Pink & MainLeave a comment

Hi everyone! I’m back today using Pink and Main’s new release with the amazing stamp set named, Breakfast Fun.

I love the idea of card sets as gifts and when a set like this comes along, it’s the first thing to come to mind. Breakfast Fun is perfect for it. It has images that go with each sentiment in the set so I’m able to use every single thing in this stamp set at once.

I also created a video to go with these cards so please check it out if you’re interested in how these all come together.

Here’s all nine of them! I was able to utilize the entire stamps set along with the sentiments and I think that’s amazing to do.

Thanks for stopping by! Come back again soon for some more inspiration and ideas!

Scene Card | Sweet Ride

Posted in Penguin PalaceLeave a comment

Hi everyone! It’s Jeannie (InsideoutJeans) on the blog today to share a card I created using Penguin Palace’s stamp set named, Sweet Ride.

I’ve had this set for awhile now and I had a vision for this card but never had a chance to create it…. until now so I hope you get inspired to create!

I wanted a silhouette of the car and the couple watching a sunset or enjoying some kind of view. This card accomplishes this because the stamp set includes the front and back of both the car and people. I stamped them out and colored them in a greys to create a monotone feel.

I also created a blue and purple sky background along with using glimmer spray and white opaque paint to add texture. I added a cityscape over the sky so the couple could be peering at the city lights.

To ground the couple, I wanted them to be peering at the skyline from a distance so I added some water between the city and added grass for them to stand on.

Thanks for stopping by! Come back soon!

Trinity Stamps | Mr. Snailman

Posted in UncategorizedLeave a comment

Hi everyone! I’m really excited today because I got the chance to play with a new stamp set from Trinity Stamps. I adore this stamp company… and it’s a pretty new company but already has a great collection of stamps in their store. I met the owner, Taniesa, at Creativation and she’s the sweetest. I also read up further about the company and really loved her story.

I’m so grateful to have the opportunity to share my creations with you using the newly released, Mr. Snailman. And yes, plural! I created two cards with this set and still have a bunch of ideas running through my head. For both these cards, I reached for my love of interactive cards.

For the first card, I decided Mr. Snailman is perfect for a cute slider headed towards the mailbox for delivery. When you pull on the tab, not only does the snail move to the mailbox, it also reveals a little sweet message.

Since this is a smaller stamp set with two main images, created a distress ink background for a sunset sky to fill out a scene behind the images. I added some grass die cuts to the bottom of the card and hid my slider. To finish off this card, I stamped a sentiment “Hooray for Snail Mail” on the top of the card and added Soapy Bubble confetti to embellish the card.

I love the iridescent color of these sequins… it really makes it special and picks up the color from the background as well.

My second card also contains an interactive element, a shaker, but I kept most of it pretty simple. I stamped Mr. Snailman on the right side of the card. I created a mask for him and stamped out the bundle of hearts all over a piece of A2 cardstock in a light grey creating the look of patterned paper.

I used a snowy drift die cut to create a “trail” behind the snail because I wanted this part to be the shaker. I used a piece of acetate with a fold and lined it up flush to the edge of the card. Using foam tape and scor tape, I create a pocket for the Skip a Beat Confetti.

I heat embossed the sentiment using white embossing powder on red cardstock matting it on brown cardstock to match the colors of the snail image. I finished off the card by adding a few hearts around the sentiment, tying the entire card together.

This little stamp set is small but is so perfect for so many ideas… I still have so many! Hope it inspired you to create as well.

Get Well Soon | Penguin Palace

Posted in Interactive, Peek A Boo, Penguin Palace2 Comments

Hi everyone! Today I wanted to share a card I created using Penguin Palace’s stamp set named, Get Well Soon. This is a smaller stamp set but a perfect one to wish someone good thoughts. I previously did a flip card that showed the sick mermaid and then flipped to a happy, healthy mermaid.

Today, I wanted to share this peek-a-boo card that is essentially the same idea just one step up from a flip card. There are a ton of tutorials for this type of card and this set is perfect for it. The front of the card will feature the sick mermaid and then when you open it, it’ll feature a healthy mermaid.

I used pink cardstock and used the top two hearts from the bubbles to stamp all over, creating my own patterned paper for the front and inside of the card. For the frame, I used Mama Elephant’s Union Square and Sizzix’s Square Framelits to create the window. I chose Penguin Palace’s Mysterious Galaxy cardstock for this because it has this gorgeous glitter on it. I love how it’s super smooth and not grainy. I was able to die cut using the paper easily. 

For the background of the mermaid, I used three distress oxide ink colors, sprayed it with Hero Art’s Shimmer Spray, and used a paper towel to pick up the splatters creating a watery effect.

I really like how this card came out and I hope you did too!

Thanks for stopping by! Come back soon!

No Line Coloring – Friendly Bunch

Posted in Inkon3, Just Because, The Stamp MarketLeave a comment

Hi everyone! I’m here to share a card I created using The Stamp Market’s stamp set named, Friendly Bunch.

I met Amy, the owner of The Stamp Market, when I visited her booth at Creativation and she was so sweet. When she spoke about her products, you could tell she was so passionate and genuine. I really was inspired to go home and ink up one of her stamp sets… so I did.

I also met Fleurette, owner at Inkon3, at Creativation and wanted to practice some no-line coloring using her Fadeout Ink.

It took a bit of time to color since this stamp image is pretty large as it takes up most of an A2 panel, but I was really proud of myself once completed. Generally, it’s a very simple card since the floral image makes up for the entire card. The sentiment in the set is also really large, so it took up the empty space on the bottom. To add a little different interest to it, I stamped the smaller portion of the sentiment on black cardstock, and heat embossing using white embossing powder.

I love how this card came together. If you love no-line coloring, you really need to check out this ink… and if you love florals, you really should check out this stamp set. Combined, it makes one gorgeous card.

Thanks for stopping by! Come back soon!
