Snow Cool | Anthony’s Paper Craft

Published on by Rowhouse Greetings1 Comment

HEY FRIENDS! I stopped by the Stamp Scrap Art Tour show in Westminster this past Sunday and roamed around the various vendor booths. It was nice to get out and talk with representatives of the various companies, especially have these past few years when such events were suspended out of necessity. I have a thing for snowmen so when I saw the Snow Cool stamp set by Anthony’s Paper Craft I knew that I had to color this image.

Since the snowmen are marching in such a strong diagonal, I decided to make it a design element for the card. I stamped the image on Hammermill cardstock, stamped the image with Hero Arts Intense Black Ink and colored it with Copic markers (see list below). I cut the image panel on the diagnonal and backed it with design papers from my stash. I stamped one of the sentiments from the Feeling of Christmas stamp set by Penny Black in the lower right corner using Versafine Clair in Nocturne. I covered the ink with clear embossing powder and heat set it so that the sentiment would stand out against the pattern paper.

For the previous cards in this release, I relied on masking the stamped image when creating my ink blended scene. This time I masked a rectangular background that I ink blended using Distress Oxides in Lost Shadow and Hickory Smoke and then used Anita Jeram 3 Kings coordinating dies to cut out the image.

Hope you enjoyed today’s project!

Anita Jeram Bird Perch Mini | Colorado Craft Company

Published on by Rowhouse Greetings6 Comments

HEY FRIENDS! Quick post today – I have another project and a new Copic coloring video featuring the Anita Jeram Bird Perch Mini stamp set by Colorado Craft Company. There’s a reason why this stamp set is called Bird Perch that would have been more obvious if I had remembered to stamp the bird. But the rabbit works by himself. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it!

Layering Peppermints | Simon Says Stamp

Published on by Rowhouse GreetingsLeave a comment

HEY FRIENDS! Today I have THREE cards using the Layering Peppermints Stencil by Simon Says Stamp. Now that July is here, it’s time to start thinking about holiday cards, especially those that can be made in bulk. Stencils make quick and easy backgrounds for cards so I experimented with three different layouts using the same products.

Card 1

Rowhouse Greetings | Layering Peppermints Stencil by Simon Says Stamp

Details

  • 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 Hammermill cardstock to 4.25″ x 5.5″ and mask the bottom 1.75″ using Mint Tape.
  • Place the background for the Layering Peppermints Stencil on the top portion of the panel and ink blend using Distress Ink in Spun Sugar.
  • Remove the background stencil and replace with the detail stencil. Ink blend using Distress Ink in Lumberjack Plaid.
  • Trim panel to 4″ x 5.25″ or use the same size die in the Infinity Rectangle Die set to create a finished edge.
  • Using the Merry Word Die, cut twice from white cardstock and once from black cardstock (I used Licorice Black cardstock by MFT Stamps).
  • For the sentiment, I used the “Merry & Bright” stamp from the Printmaking Pines stamp set by Simon Says Stamp. I positioned the stamp in my Misti and placed a small piece of Mint Tape over the word “Merry.” I inked the stamp using Versafine Clair in Nocturne, removed the mask, and stamped the sentiment. This results in just the “& Bright” portion of the stamp appearing on the panel.
  • Assemble the layers as shown.
