Greetings friends. I have a couple of cards today that both use the new "Grow" clear stamp set:

 For my first card I stamped some chickens onto white Copic paper and then colored them with Copic markers. I cut them out and then glued them on top of the chickens I had stamped onto the patterned paper. I did this so that I wouldn't have to cut out the tiny little chicken feet.

To add a bit of dimension, I colored under the chickens with green Copic markers to make it look like there were hills on the paper. I finished by adding some clouds and my sentiment.

For my second card, I stamped my potted plants onto 140lb watercolor paper four times using black Impression Obsession Ink. I then colored the plants with some Zig Clean Color Real Brush markers and a waterbrush. To finish the card, I added my sentiment on top of some IO patterned paper and added a little teal epoxy sticker.

Thanks so much for stopping by today!

Greetings friends. Today I am back with new bunny images to share. I am very fond of the new Rabbits, Rabbits Everywhere clear set because you can get very different looks from it. Here is the set:

Of course, I immediately had to make something with one of the crazy looking bunnies! For my card, I stamped my bunny onto kraft cardstock using a stamp positioner and black ink. I colored the bunny with colored pencils and then overstamped him with more black ink so that you could see the lines better. A stamp positioner is crucial for this.

Next, I masked the bunny and added some yellow and orange panpastel chalk to the corner. I stamped the edges with geometric designs and brown ink and then added some white and yellow colored pencil to the lines to add some extra dimension.

How about a very different bunny and a very different look from the same set?

For the second card, I used a bunny that I stamped and colored using Copic markers. I then cut him out and added him to some IO patterned paper and a die cut grassy hill. I then popped up a tag with a fun spring sentiment.

Thanks so much for stopping by today. I hope you will stop by again tomorrow for the next hop day!

Theme Day- Easter


Greetings friends. It is time for another Impression Obsession theme day, and this time the theme is "Easter." The IO February release had some images that worked really well for the theme, so you might want to give them a look.

If you would like to see all of the participating designers, you can find the list over on the Impression Obsession blog.

 

For my card today, I used images from the Easter Bunnies stamp set and combined them with their coordinating dies. I used paper from the Vintage Garden pack (green paper) as well as the Spring Scenes pack (sky behind the bunny).

To color the bunny and flowers, I used an assortment of Copic markers and then used the new Inside Out Rounded Square die to create the frame.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

DIE1324 Easter Bunnies dies

 Greetings friends. I am sharing a second card using the Birthday Hugs set.

To make the card, I created a background using the confetti stencil and some purple, blue and green ink. The cake and candles were colored with Copic markers and then I added some pattern to them using various stencils from the set. To finish the card, I added glitter glue to the flames and my sentiment in black ink.

Thanks so much for stopping by today!

Greetings friends. The new March bundle is loaded with stamps, coordinating dies and coordinating stencils to make birthday cards. I can't think of a better bundle in that I am always in need of birthday cards:

The stamps look like this:

The stamps come with coordinating dies as well as coordinating stencils:

 


I love the stencils because they have smaller designs for cardmaking and they come on ring to help keep them organized.

The bundle comes with a price discount, but you can also buy the stamps and stencils individually.

For my card, I started with the stars stencil to add a yellow and orange background to white cardstock. I stamped my candles with black Memento ink and then colored them with Copic markers. I wanted to add a bit of pattern to the candles, so I chose the thin striped stencil to do the job. To finish the card, I added glitter glue to the flames for sparkle and added my sentiment in black ink.

Thanks for stopping by today. I hope you will stop by tomorrow for another birthday sample using the bundle.
