I Dig You | Jane’s Doodles

HEY FRIENDS! Just a really quick post today. I recently posted this card on Instagram that features the I Dig You digital stamp by Jane’s Doodles. I misplaced my notes with the Copic information so I never posted it here, but while straightening up my studio (imagine that!) I came across the info. So here it is!

Anita Jeram Family Love | Colorado Craft Company

Published on May 30, 2023May 30, 2023 by Rowhouse Greetings1 Comment

HEY FRIENDS! Today’s project is another Anita Jeram image pulled from my stash. Sometimes I think that I’m more of a craft collector than a craft user, but I do rummage through my stash periodically to see what I’ve missed. The upcoming birth of a new baby in my extended family prompted me to take a look at what I already had on hand, but hadn’t yet colored. So here we are with Anita Jeram Family Love by Colorado Craft Company.

Think Spring Bunnies | Whimsy Stamps

Published on May 22, 2023May 21, 2023 by Rowhouse Greetings1 Comment

HEY FRIENDS! It’s time for another edition of Nancy and Jill Color Together! As you know, Jill Killeen of Killeen House Studio asked me to participate in a monthly challenge with her where we would color the same image and see how we each interpreted it. This month was Jill’s turn to pick the image and she chose Think Spring Bunnies by Whimsy Stamps. As always, I’ve linked supplies with compensated affiliate links used where possible at no cost to you.

For some reason, I had trouble coloring bunnies the day I made this card. I haven’t been coloring much lately. More accurately, I haven’t been coloring consistently and with this card it showed. So I gave myself a break and cut off a few bunnies from the original image. Jill has been coloring nearly every day so she took on ALL the bunnies as you’ll see from her card below. Be sure you check out her blog post with all the details!

We’re Moving | Jane’s Doodles

Published on May 10, 2023May 10, 2023 by Rowhouse Greetings3 Comments

HEY FRIENDS! So I have some news that I can finally tell you. I was recently asked to join the design team for Jane’s Doodles. This is a new-to-me stamp company, but one that I had been following for awhile because the adorable animal images fit my style. However, before I had a chance to purchase any stamp sets, Jane’s Doodles shut down. Covid has been hard on many small stamp companies and local craft stores — both of the stores where I teach closed in the past four months. But Jane decided to pivot and offer her images as digital stamps and that brings us to where we are today: my first project as a member of the Jane’s Doodles Design Team.

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

Rowhouse Greetings | We're Moving Digital Stamp by Jane's Doodles

Step By Step Instructions for We’re Moving

NOTE: If you are unfamiliar with digital stamps, take a look at two videos that I created showing how I set up my images to print using Microsoft Word. If you have the latest version of Microsoft Word, look at the video that I recently created for Colorado Craft Company. If you have an older version, check out the video that I made for Power Poppy.

Cut card base from Neenah Classic Crest 110# cardstock to 4.25″ x 11″ and score at 5.5″ for a top fold card.
Print the We’re Moving digital stamp on a piece of Hammermill cardstock. I added one of the sentiments from the Pajama Party digital stamp set to the sign. Color image with Copic markers.
Trim image panel with the medium die in the A2 Marquee Die set. Apply foam tape or foam squares to the back. Set aside.
Cut a piece of Hammermill cardstock to 4.25″ x 5.5″
Ink the smooth side of the Dibble Dot Embossing Folder with a light blue dye ink (I used Pawsitively Saturated Ink in Marine). Place the piece of Hammermill cardstock in the embossing folder and carefully close the folder. Run the folder through your die cutting machine using the sandwich required for your machine.
Assemble layers as shown.

Supplies

COPICS: E31, E33, E35, E37 (moose); R05, R17, R27 (shirt & scarf); R20, R22, Y35, E30, E33, E35 (bird); BV34, B00, B02, B04 (bag); W0, W1 (sign)
