Boardwalk Mice

Hi everyone! Today I’m sharing a card featuring LDRS Creative’s stamp set named, Boardwalk Mice. I thought it was a perfect card for a fun look into the summer. I know it’s technically still winter, but I’m already thinking of summer!

I stamped out the images using Raven black ink to create a boardwalk scene under the little mice going on an adventure. Although these critters might be a bit tiny, I wanted to cut out masks for them. I used Masking Paper because it’s thicker and I can reuse them.

Once I had everything masked off, I pulled out the new hybrid inks from the new release and I wanted a pretty and soft sky. I chose the colors: Banana Cream Pie, Tangerine Dream, Fandango, and Parisian Purple. I do adore this combination of colors and it makes me so happy!

For right under the boardwalk, I decided to color in a wooden floor to really depict the pier. I just drew in lines and colored with some woodgrain texture. I think it really adds to the look of the scene. Don’t you?

I hope you get inspired to create! 

Thanks for stopping by! Come back soon!

Heffy Doodle and Trinity Stamps Blog Hop

Hi everyone and welcome to the Heffy Doodle and Trinity Stamps Collaboration Blog Hop! Our design teams have come together to share some amazing inspiration featuring Heffy Doodle and Trinity stamps products, and there is a prize up for grabs, too!

You might have noticed that I created two cards… I just couldn’t help it! I wanted a cute scene that merged these two amazing stamp companies together. From Heffy Doodle, I used Gnome Matter What and from Trinity Stamps, I used Mouse House. These two sets set up a perfect garden scene. I couldn’t decide between the two card sizes but I figured out that I could make the same cards but with a bit of a different look using different card sizes, A2 and Slimline.

For my A2 card, I stamped out the little scene using the Gnomes and then the Mice with the Mouse House. I did a bit of masking with masking paper to fit everything on the scene. For me, a trick that helps is to stamp everything on a piece of scrap paper to figure out what needs to be stamped and masked.

For the sentiment, I used the Gnome Matter What set and that finished off the card.

My second card is using the Trinity Stamps Slimline Scallop Die Set for a slimline sized card. It’s such a growing trend now but I see why. It’s so fun to create a scene using it. I stamped out the same images in the same kind of scene, but it does have a bit of a different feel. For this card, I left space for a die cut sentiment, using Heffy Doodles’ I Love You.

I just adore how these two cards came out. Which do you prefer? Slimline or A2?

Now for the details of the giveaway…

Trinity Stamps and Heffy Doodle will respectively be giving away a 25$ and a 25£ vouchers to their stores! Winner will be chosen randomly and announced on Tuesday, March 24th  on the Heffy Doodle and Trinity Stamps Blogs blogs.
