Snowman Branch | Stampendous!

HEY FRIENDS! I took a bit of a hiatus — not from cardmaking, but from blogging. Sometimes all the overhead of blogging — tracking the colors, photography, drafting the post, scheduling social media, etc. — gets in the way of the actual fun of making the cards. So my blog has been quiet for a few weeks so that I could just make some cards in the limited time that I’ve had lately to craft. But I do like to keep a record of what I’ve made so I started going through my notes to catch up with posting.

As always, I’ve linked supplies with compensated affiliate links used where possible at no cost to you.

I have a thing for snowmen so when I saw this stamp by Stampendous, I knew that I had to color it. I stamped the image on Hammermill cardstock using Hero Arts Intense Black ink and colored it with Copic markers (see list below). After coloring the image, I added a sentiment from the Festive Overlay stamp set stamped using Versafine Clare in Nocturne. While this is a great vintage stamp set, I often use it just for the sentiments.

That’s all for today! See you again soon!

Easy Gift Tags Featuring Holiday Happy by Stampendous!

HEY FRIENDS! I’m in a crazy whirlwind trying to get ready for Christmas. Luckily I’ve been making Christmas cards all year so they’re already made, so I’ve been making gift tags. I get hung up in card design – I can color an image in 15 minutes and then spend the next 8 hours trying to design the card. The nice thing about tags is that you can just color an image and cut it into a tag and you’re done!

When I was straightening up my craft room, I found that I had a couple of images already colored that I could quickly turn in to tags. You’ll probably recognize the images since I posted the finished cards earlier, but when I create a coloring video, I sometimes end up with extra colored images so I turned those extras into tags.

Be sure you look around your craft space! I bet there are some die cuts, colored images, or incomplete projects that you could quickly turn into gift tags. You can clean up your work space AND finish a few projects at the same time. For me, that’s a WIN / WIN!

Today I’ve got TWO tags to show you that I created from previously colored images! All three have coloring videos from when I made the cards so be sure you check them out. And as always, I’ve linked the supplies below with compensated affiliate links used where possible at no cost to you.

The image was too big for my tag die, so I used one of the dies from the Zig Zag Square Stackables by Lawn Fawn instead. The zig zag edge added a fun border to the tag.

Demo Day and ANOTHER Copic Coloring Video

HEY FRIENDS! I was on a roll yesterday and created another Copic coloring video using the Holiday Happy stamp set by Stampendous! I don’t think I’ve ever created two videos on one day, but these images are quick and easy to color so you can work through them pretty fast.

Just an FYI – this card will also be available as a card kit for Demo Day at Photo Scraps.. So if you’re interested, mark your calendar for Saturday, November 20th and call Lisa or Tracy at 410-549-5187 if you want to purchase a card kit.

So here it is!

And just like the previous card, the card kit does not contain red cardstock to back the image. I used white cardstock and used my R46 Copic marker to colored a border top and bottom.

Enjoy!

Demo Day and New Coloring Video – Holiday Happy by Stampendous!

HEY FRIENDS! A few weeks ago, I created a card using the Holiday Happy stamp set by Stampendous! Well, I decided to create a variation of that card for the upcoming Demo Day at Photo Scraps. So if you’re interested, mark your calendar for Saturday, November 20th and call Lisa or Tracy at 410-549-5187 if you want to purchase a card kit.

In the meantime, I’ve uploaded a Copic coloring video for the image.

JUST A NOTE: The card kit does not contain red cardstock to back the image. I used white cardstock and used my R46 Copic marker to colored a border top and bottom. This way, I don’t have to keep a lot of colored cardstock on hand and the accents always match the image perfectly.

Enjoy!

More Holiday Happy by Stampendous!

GOOD MORNING FRIENDS! Today is a short post from me – I’m heading off to my parents to manage the first stage of their bathroom renovation. We’re trying to make it safer for them to bath and use the shower so they’re getting a new tub, a fold down shower chair, grab bars and an adjustable shower. So this morning, I’m meeting with the contractor to finalize the measurements and the selected features.

I’m still coloring adorable House Mouse images so I’m sharing another one with you today from the Holiday Happy stamp set. As always, I’ve linked the supplies below with compensated affiliate links used where possible at no cost to you.
