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.

Featured Products

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!

Layered Merry Christmas Foliage | Spellbinders

HEY FRIENDS! It’s World Cardmaking Day! Now there’s a holiday that I can get behind! And since I’m in full holiday cardmaking mode, I have a simple Christmas card to honor the day featuring the Layered Merry Christmas Foliage stencil set by Spellbinders. Since the design is stenciled, this would be an easy card to make in bulk for the holidays. I stuck with traditional Christmas colors, but non-traditional color palettes would work just as well.

This card is really easy to put together. I’ve created a short video showing you the stenciling portion of the card.

Since I work on a Glassboard, I usually hold down my stencils with magnets. However, there wasn’t enough of a margin on the stencil so I simply held the stencils in place with Pixie Repositionable Tape. It’s a low tack tape and peels off cleanly. I also used domed foam blenders for the ink blending. Since they’re relatively inexpensive, I can have a blender for each ink pad rather than a blender for each color family.

That’s all for now!

So Cool | Anthony’s Paper Craft

HEY FRIENDS! By the time you see this post, I’ll be on vacation. We were supposed to go to the Grand Canyon, but we figured that the government would shut down and we either wouldn’t be able to get into the park or air travel would be difficult. So we rearranged our plans and hopefully when you read this, we’ll be peacefully biking around Cape May, NJ. But in the meantime, I wanted to share with you a recent project featuring another image from the Snow Cool stamp set by Anthony’s Paper Craft. I have a thing for snowpeople and can’t resist coloring them. So here we are!

I’ve been experimenting with underpainting and I’m inspired by Amy Schulke over at Vanilla Arts. The color combinations that I’ve used today were chosen from her extensive color swatches. Be sure you check out Amy’s website – she shares lots of valuable Copic marker information.

That’s all from me today!
