Color Stamping | Picket Fence Studios

I love creating scenes but sometimes there’s a lot of white space that I don’t want to fill. I used a solid stamp to fill up the space and thought it would be fun to pull out my distress oxides.

Hero Arts Holiday 2024 Catalog Blog Hop

Happy Holiday Catalog Day! Hero Arts will be giving away two $50 gift cards, drawn from the comments left along the hop. Comment on all the blogs for more chances to win! You have until Wednesday, August 28th at 11:59pm PT to enter. The winners will be announced on the Hero Arts blog.

Today, I’m sharing a card featuring one of the sets from the Hero Arts Holiday Catalog release called Cozy Study. I tend to gravitate towards cards that can easily create scenes because of all the possibilities. You can create a full scene, use the smaller elements to create a background, or even create a mini scene — there’s so many ideas to work with!

For this card, I decided to create a subtle mini scene with a focus on one main image. I decided to mask off half my Deluxe Smooth White Cardstock card panel so I could focus my scene on the top half. I stamped the fireplace, dog, books, candle, and clock with Clear Embossing and Watermark Ink, then covered it with White Embossing Powder, and heat set it. Since embossing powder resists ink, I wanted to do some ink blending right on top to bring color to the top part of this card. I used the colors Spicy Mustard, Moss, and Crimson Core Inks along with the Hero Arts Tool Medium Blending Brushes. I’ll use a microfiber cloth to wipe off any excess ink as well.

My main image was going to be the cozy chair but I decided to also add the sleeping cat right on top. I wanted it to look clean, so I decided to do a bit of masking. I stamped the cat first with Intens-ified Black Ink, masked him, and then stamped the couch right on top. I’ll remove the mask, fussy cut the couch and color it up with copic markers.

I trimmed my card panel just a quarter of an inch so the panel would be 4 x 5.25 and added the panel right on top of an A2 piece of Woodland cardstock so the brown will peek out on the left hand side matching the chair. My last touch was to add the sentiment, stamped with Intens-ified Black Ink right next to the couch. My images and focus pulls to the top of the card, leaving white space but it works very well here.

Thank you for joining me today for the Hero Arts Holiday Catalog blog hop. I hope you have feel inspired with all the different projects and ideas!

Creating a Scene | Trinity Stamps

Aerial shots of any item requires me to set it on top of a desk and color. This one was easy to decide what to do but this set is sneaky, it’s really versatile — there’s a lot of uses for it! As easy idea for this one is to create a shaped card as well!

One Marker Coloring | Honey Bee Stamps

I tend to use a ton of markers to color but there are times where I’m pretty lazy and want a softer look. Using lighter markers and using white space really works for lazy coloring! It’s definitely a softer look but I love it!

August New Release Blog Hop + Giveaway | Pretty Pink Posh

Welcome to Pretty Pink Posh‘s August 2024 Release Blog Hop! Be sure to check out the latest release from Pretty Pink Posh. Before we jump into my project for the hop, there’s a total of three $30 gift certificates up for grabs (one winner each day) for this 3 day blog hop! Winners will be picked randomly along the blog hop. Comments must be left by 11:59 PM PST on 8/19/2024. Winners will be announced on the Pretty Pink Posh blog.

Hi friends! There have been so many amazing projects already shared in the past day of the blog hop and there’s so much inspiration today as well! Be sure to check it all out and today’s lineup!

For today, I’m sharing this fun card that I created using quite a few sets from the new release. I love how you can mix and match! It comes together perfectly for a fun Halloween card!

First, I started off to create my background using the Halloween Words Stencil along with Distress Mica Stains: Jack O Lantern, Fortune Teller, and Wicked Elixer. Using the sprays just allows me to quick stencil this up, without having it be “perfect”. I love how the colors mix together so well.

Next, I die cut all the items I want to use from the Big Halloween Cupcake, Spooky Mug Additions, and Ghost Holder die sets. For these, I just colored them in using copic markers. I love the dimension you can add and it also gives your images a “no line coloring” look.

To finish this card off, I stamped and heat embossed a sentiment from the Upright Greetings stamp set. This fit perfectly on the side of my card panel and finishes off this fun Halloween card.

Be sure to stop by the previous days of inspiration for the Pretty Pink Posh blog!
