For this card, I stamped the image and sentiment with Hero Arts Intense Black ink on a piece of Hammermill cardstock trimmed using the Nesting Rectangle Infinity Dies by Hero Arts. The image was colored with Copic markers (see list below). Afterwards, I trimmed a sheet of design paper from the Black and White Stripes 6×6 paper pad to 2″ x 5.5″ as well as a strip of red glitter cardstock trimmed to 0.5″ x 5.5″. Once the coloring was complete, I assembled the layers as shown onto the cardbase.

That’s all for today! Gotta run!

2022 Card Design Superstar – Clean and Simple Genius

Published on by Rowhouse Greetings2 Comments

HEY FRIENDS! It’s that time of year again when My Favorite Things hosts its Card Design Superstar Contest. So today, I’m sharing my entry for the Clean and Simple Genius category featuring the Jingle All the Way and Holiday Penguin stamp sets. As always, I’ve linked supplies with compensated affiliate links used where possible at no cost to you.

CLEAN AND SIMPLE GENIUS
SIZE: A2
Featured Products:

This card was super simple to put together. I stamped images from the BB Jingle All the Way and the BB Holiday Penguins on Hammermill cardstock with Hero Arts Intense Black ink. The images were colored with Copic markers (see list below). Although coordinating dies are available for both sets, I only had the dies for Jingle All the Way, so I fussy cut all three images so that they would look consistent.

Next, I cut a piece of white cardstock to 4″ x 5.25″ and stamped one of the sentiments from Jingle All the Way using Versafine ink. I applied foam squares on the back of the colored images and adhered them to the from of the card as shown. I glued craft foam to the back of the panel and adhered it to an A2 cardbase cut from Neenah Classic Crest cardstock. And with that, I had a clean and simple card!

Selfies with Santa – My Favorite Things

Published on by Rowhouse Greetings1 Comment

HEY FRIENDS! I’m back today with a new card and a new Copic coloring video featuring the Selfies with Santa stamp set by My Favorite Things. And as always, I’ve linked supplies with compensated affiliate links used where possible at no cost to you.

SELFIES WITH SANTA
SIZE: A2
Featured Products

I started by stamping the image from the snowman & penguin image from the Selfies with Santa stamp set on a piece of Hammermill cardstock using Hero Arts Intense Black ink. I colored the image using Copic markers (see marker list below).

Ready to color? You can check out my coloring video below or watch it HERE on YouTube.

Next, I used the Polaroid Shaker Frame Die-namics twice from white cardstock and glued the two frames together. I stamped one of the sentiments using Versafine ink. I trimmed the image to fit and adhered it to the back of the frame to create a Polaroid type image.

Then I stamped the image from the Snowflakes Background on a piece of Fog Cardstock using Hero Arts Unicorn Ink. I covered the ink with white embossing powder and heat set the image. I trimmed the panel using one of the dies in the Nesting Rectangle Infinity Die Set and adhered it to an A2 cardbase cut from Neenah Classic Crest cardstock. I cut one of the snowflakes from from the A Blizzard Die Set from white cardstock and adhered it to the corner as shown, adding a silver metallic pearl as an embellishment. I added scraps of cardstock from my stash and assembled the layers as shown.

That’s it for me today! Thanks for stopping by!

Cute Chemists by My Favorite Things

Published on by Rowhouse Greetings4 Comments

HAPPY NEW YEAR! Monday was a snowy day here in Maryland so I spent it in my studio. I’ve not done much Copic coloring lately and I’m really getting out of practice. So I decided to make the first project of the new year one with a clean and simple design where I can just color and not worry about the card layout. I also decided to use a stamp set that has been in my stash for awhile — BB Cute Chemists by My Favorite Things. It’s time to stop buying stamps and start using the dozens of stamps that I’ve purchased over the past year that remain unused! As always, I’ve linked the supplies below with compensated affiliate links used where possible at no cost to you.

Today’s project features:

  • BB Cute Chemists by My Favorite Things
  • Copic coloring (marker list below)
  • Additional supplies linked in thumbnails below.
Rowhouse Greetings | BB Cute Chemists by My Favorite Things

To start, I stamped the image from the Cute Chemist stamp set with Hero Arts Intense Black ink on the lower left corner of a piece of Hammermill 110# paper cut to 4.25″ x 5.5″. Next, I colored the image with Copic markers (see list below). Then I stamped one of the sentiments from the stamp set on the lower right using Versafine ink in Onyx Black. Finally, I added a few silver metallic pearls from Pinkfresh Studio to mimic bubbles escaping from the beaker and test tube.

I feel a few more clean and simple cards in my future! Honestly, I can color quickly, but agonize for hours about the layout. Maybe it’s time to just keep it simple!

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