Winter Present by Mo’s Digital Pencil

Published on by Rowhouse Greetings1 Comment

GOOD MORNING FRIENDS! I’m back today with another holiday card featuring a digital stamp from Mo’s Digital Pencil. I’ve long been a fan of Maurie Manning and I have many of her (still to be colored) images in my stash. She’s an award winning children’s book author and illustrator and I’m thrilled that she shares her art as digital stamps on her site – Mo’s Digital Pencil – and as cling stamps by Penny Black.

Today’s project features:

The image was printed on X-Press It Blending Card [AZ] and colored with Copic markers (see list below). Afterwards, I used the medium die in the Nordic Frames die set [GR] from The Greetery to trim the image layer. I backed it with a piece of craft foam [AZ] for dimension and set it aside.

For the background, I cut a piece of Blue Yonder Prestige Cardstock (MFT) to A2 size. I stenciled the background using the Petite Snow Stencil [NN] from Newton’s Nook and Glitz Glitter Gel in White [GKD] from Gina K. Design. It added interest and texture to the background without distracting from the central image.

100 Moons Creative Collab

GOOD MORNING FRIENDS! This is my first post as a member of the 100 Moons Creative Collaborative! I’m here today with a project featuring a variety of stamps from Rubbermoon, ArtFoamies, and 100 Proof Press.

I’ve been making a lot of cards lately. In these days of social distancing, sending happy mail can really brighten someone’s day.

This card has a little bit of everything going on – stamping, heat embossing, die cutting, and Copic coloring. The featured image is Jone Hallmark Star-Powered by RubberMoon. I used A LOT of products and supplies (so don’t faint when you see the supply list) but I bet that most of it is stuff readily available in your craft room. So if you don’t have the exact product that I used, I suspect you already have a great substitute.

Whew! That was a lot! But aren’t you glad you stuck it out to the end?!?

That’s it for me today. Hope you found some crafty inspiration! See you next time!

Take Clover by RubberMoon Stamps

Published on by Rowhouse GreetingsLeave a comment

GOOD AFTERNOON FRIENDS! It’s been a bit of a scorcher outside today so I am staying inside with my Copic markers and will spend the day on various projects.

As many of you know, I was recently selected for the 100 Moons Collaborative Team (consisting of RubberMoon, ArtFoamies, and 100 Proof Press). Although my official debut on the 100 Moons blog isn’t until July 17th, I couldn’t resist coloring up this sweet image from RubberMoon Stamps. I’ve linked all supplies with compensated affiliate links used where possible at no cost to you.

Rowhouse Greetings | Jone Hallmark Taking Clover by RubberMoon

The featured stamp is Jone Hallmark’s Taking Clover. I stamped the image on Copic compatible paper using Hero Arts Intense Black Ink and colored it with Copic markers (see list below). I trimmed the paper using Lawn Fawn’s Small Stitched Rectangle Stackables, a die set that I use on a regular basis.

After coloring the image, I selected a sheet of blue gingham design paper from the I Love Summer 6×6 pad by Echo Park Paper Co. I trimmed it so that there would be a 1/4 inc border around the entire colored image. I selected a sheet from the Summertime Polka Dots 6×6 pad by My Favorite Things, trimmed it to fit inside the stitching, and stamped the Claudia Rose – Dream stamp from Rubber Moon as the sentiment.

For the background, I stamped my card base with one of the stamps from the Flutterby Designs – Patterns set by Art Foamies. I used Distress Ink in Tattered Rose, which was a near perfect match to the polka dot design paper.

That’s it for today! Stay cool!

Geometric Mandala by The Hedgehog Hollow

Published on by Rowhouse GreetingsLeave a comment

HEY FRIENDS! I’m back today with my second project as a guest designer today over at The Hedgehog Hollow.  My project features the Geometric Mandala stamp from the June 2020 subscription box. When I first saw it, I immediately thought of a color wheel so I pulled out my Copic markers and got to work.


I selected one of the 6×6 design papers included in the subscription box and stamped the image with Copic friendly ink using my MISTI stamping tool. I’m going to be stamping this image twice — once before coloring and a second time after — so a stamping tool is really a necessity here. 

Now I’ll admit up front that I used a lot of markers – after all, there are 13 circles to color. But this is also a great image to practice your Copic blending so just pick marker combinations from your collection and have some fun. New to Copic blending? Never fear! I’ll show you in the video below.

When you finish coloring the image, you could just select a sentiment and assemble the card, but I wanted my stamped lines to be bolder. So I placed the image back in my MISTI, stamped the image with Versafine Ink (Nocturne) and immediately covered the wet ink with clear embossing powder. Once I heat set the image, the lines were more prominent and I was happier with the results. 

I was in need of a birthday card so I selected one of the sentiments in the Simple Strips – Birthday stamp from Taylored Expressions. I stamped the image with Versafine ink. Once again, I covered the wet ink with clear embossing powder and heat set the sentiment. I used the coordinating Simple Strips Die to create the banner. I adhered the image to the card base and used the Foam Sticky Strips from Taylored Expressions to add to the sentiment.

Hope you enjoyed today’s project! Thanks for stopping by!
