I love Anita Jeram’s depiction of hamsters, rabbits and mice as artists and have several in my stash including Love Art, Inspiration Hampster, Paint the Town, and The Artist. They make the perfect card for the artist or crafter in your life. I used the Art Is stamp set to create a framed piece as a gift for my brother who is a painter. The simplicity of The Muse is a wonderful addition to this theme.

It’s Your Day | Penny Black

Published on by Rowhouse Greetings1 Comment

HEY FRIENDS! Today I have a new card and a new Copic coloring video featuring the It’s Your Day stamp set by Penny Black. This is an older stamp set that I pulled out of my stash, so it’s harder to find in online stores. But I just love this bear so I decided that it was time to pull out my markers and start coloring. I hope you’ll love it as much as I do!

Step By Step for Etched Greetings

  • Cut card base from Neenah Classic Crest 110# cardstock to 4.25″ x 11″ and score at 5.5″ for a top fold card.
  • Die cut the background from a piece of white cardstock using the largest A2 Marquee Wafer Die. Adhere to card base and set aside.
  • Cut a piece of Hammermill cardstock to 3.5″ x 4.75″ and stamp the floral images from the Etched Greeting stamp set using Hero Arts Intense Black Ink.
  • Color the flowers with Copic markers (see list below).
  • Die cut the sentiment from the Happy Birthday die from black cardstock (I used Black Licorice by MFT Stamps). Cut the sentiment two more times as well as the shadow die from white cardstock. Glue the layers together using Connect Glue.
  • Cover the sentiment with Glossy Accents. Allow to dry thoroughly.
  • Assemble the layers as shown.

Hope you enjoyed today’s project!

Best Year Yet | Simon Says Stamp

Published on by Rowhouse Greetings2 Comments

HEY FRIENDS! I’m back today with a project featuring the Best Year Yet stamp set by Simon Says Stamp. This stamp was part of the May 2023 card kit which will probably sell out shortly, but the individual elements are available for sale on the Simon Says Stamp website. So don’t panic if the card kit is sold out – you can still buy this stamp set on its own.

I liked this stamp because the sentiments and images are basic and I can easily put together a birthday card when I need one. It seems like I never have a birthday card when I need one so this stamp set filled that need. As always, I’ve linked supplies with compensated affiliate links used where possible at no cost to you.

Step by Step Instructions for Best Year Yet

  • Cut card base from Neenah Classic Crest 110# cardstock to 4.25″ x 11″ and score at 5.5″ for a top fold card.
  • Cut a piece of coordinating cardstock to 4.25″ x 5.5″ (I used Simon Says Stamp 100# cardstock in Sunshine).
  • Die cut a piece of Hammermill cardstock using the middle die in the A2 Marquee Die Set. Stamp image and sentiment using Hero Arts Intense Black Ink.
  • Color image as shown using Copic markers (see list below).
  • Assemble layers as shown. Add sequins if desired (I used Surprise Party by Simon Says Stamp) using Connect Glue. I also found it easier to pour the sequins in to a triangular tray. The sequins stayed in one place and were easy to pour back into the bag. Well worth the small investment!

Now wasn’t that easy? Hope you enjoyed today’s project. See you again soon.

Anita Jeram Conga Line by Colorado Craft Company

Published on by Rowhouse Greetings1 Comment

HEY FRIENDS! We’re halfway through the week so it’s time for a happy dance and who better to lead the Conga line than the adorable Anita Jeram critters. I’ve had this stamp on my list for awhile and finally got around to coloring it. I love an image that makes me smile whenever I look at it!

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

Rowhouse Greetings | Anita Jeram Conga Line by Colorado Craft Company

Products featured:

I stamped the Conga Line image on a piece of Hammermill 100# Smooth Cardstock using Nuvo Hybrid Ink in Black Shadow. The image was colored with Copic markers (see list below). Afterwards, I added clear Wink of Stella Glitter to each of the hats. The sentiment was stamped using Versafine Clair in Nocturne. I sprinkled clear embossing powder over the ink and heat set it.

This is a large image so there’s not much more to the card layout. I cut a piece of Simon Says Stamp Says Cardstock in Fog to 4.25″ x 5.5″ and adhered it to my cardbase. I glued craft foam to the back of the image panel for dimension, but you can use foam tape if you prefer. I centered the image panel on the cardbase and that’s all she wrote!

Hope you enjoyed today’s project! See you again soon!
