Amanda Jayne Design - Chloe Christmas Bundle

Hi everyone

I'm sharing my latest card using one of Amanda Jayne Designs images.  I used a fabulous Christmas bundle called 'Chloe Christmas Collection' - the bundle includes 49 digital elements such as Chloe in different poses, papers, wreaths and frames. Chloe the cow was coloured with Copic pens, the green wreath was pre-coloured. (For sale - £4.50 + P&P - requests by email please)  

Amanda has a lovely array of digi stamp, papers and sentiments in her Etsy shop, along with some pre-coloured images and papers. For your information, here is the link to the Amanda Jayne Designs Etsy Store or go to Etsy and search for Amanda Jane Designs 80 to check out all her lovely digi stamps and papers.

Here's What I Did

I imported the wreath and Chloe with her little wreath, along with a sentiment from my digi stash into my software program. I resized all the images collectively to fit my project. I printed out everything onto Copic friendly card, then coloured it up using my pens. The completed scene was die cut into a square and matted onto green scalloped card. To finish the card, I added red gems and glitter around the wreath.

Today I'm sharing the last of my sneaky peaks of the new Lili Of The Valley Christmas polymer stamps launching this Saturday (10th) at the Crafterama event in Harrogate. The stamps will then be available in the  LOTV Etsy shop on the 12th September.

For my 2 cards today I've used the fabulous 'Snowglobes' stamps.

CARD #1 - Here's What I Did & Used

I trimmed down a piece of red card and attached it to the front of a DL white card blank leaving a slim border around the edge. A white scalloped rectangle was glued flat onto the card front.

I die cut a rectangle of the same red card and stamped snowflakes all over it using white ink, and going off the edge in certain places. When it was dry this was glued into the centre of the white rectangle. 

The snow globe and house was stamped onto Copic friendly card, coloured with Copic pens and fussy cut out. Two empty snow globes were stamped onto card and then fussy cut out slightly smaller than the image, these were glued to the back of the coloured version to add a little extra dimension. The finished snow globe was added to the bottom section of the card. Glitter was added to the snow in the scene.

To finish the card a festive sentiment was die cut twice and stacked up, then added to the top of the card along with a few sequins.

I trimmed down a piece of blue Christmas patterned paper and attached it to the front of a 6" x 6" white card blank leaving a slim border around the edge. A die cut festive frame was glued flat in the centre. 

The snow globe and snowman scene were stamped onto Copic friendly card, and coloured with Copic pens, then die cut into a square. The fished scene was matted onto a blue scalloped frame.

Hi everyone

Well today I'm doing a little Guest Designing for Craft Consortium. Yay! I offered to colour up some of the stamps from the 'Candy Christmas' collection that's just launched. The collection was created in partnership with the super talented Helz Cupperditch. Helz is the wonderful talent behind the 'Snomes', 'Sandy Paws', 'Polar Playtime' collections. The collection is full of cute gingerbread people and their houses plus a few snow peeps thrown in. There are also complementary paper pads, 3D decoupage sets, chipboard ephemera and much more....see the link below.  

I've made 2 cards using the 'Candy' stamp set and coloured them up using Distress Re-inkers and pads. I've written up how I did each one and all the products I used. I have another stamp set to share with but I'm off on my hollibobs soon so I will share my creations when I return. :)

I stamped the polar/gingerbread man onto the watercolour card in grey ink, then stamped it again onto masking paper which I cut out. I masked the polar bear/gingerbread man and stamped the middle tree.  I stamped the tree again on masking paper and cut it out them masked the tree, then stamped the other 2 trees either side. With a pencil I drew a couple of snow lines to complete the scene and removed the masks. 

The scene was coloured using distress re-inkers and pads, then die cut into a circle and matted onto a green scalloped circle. Glitter was added to the trees and snow line, then the finished topper was glued flat on top of the snowflake. To finish the card, die cut stars were placed in the sky, and a few enamel dots added to the bottom.

Next I stamped the snow-body onto the watercolour card in grey ink first, then stamped it again onto masking paper which I cut out. I masked the snow-body and then stamped the house over it. I stamped the house again on masking paper, and then cut this out and again placed it over the house on the card. I stamped the tree over the top of the house on the left hand side. With a pencil I drew a snow lines to complete the scene. I left the masks in place and painted around everything to create a sky, when it was dry I removed the masks. 

The scene was coloured using distress re-inkers and pads, then die cut into a square. To add a little extra detail I added part of a snowflake, bunting and a pearl in the top right corner, and a mini sentiment in the bottom right.

Amanda Jayne Designs - As You Like It Challenge

Hi everyone

I'm sharing my latest card which I've made for the 'As You Like It Challenge' blog. was asked by my lovely friend and fellow DT member Annette if I would be a Guest DT member and create a card using one of Amanda Jayne Designs images, and use my favourite shaped card. So for my card I used a fabulous image, sentiment and plus one of the digi papers from the Halloween bundle 'Hey Pumpkin'. The background was created digitally whilst the Halloween hippo and pumpkins were coloured with Copic pens. (For sale - £4.50 + P&P - requests by email please)  

Amanda has a lovely array of digi stamp, papers and sentiments in her Etsy shop, along with some pre-coloured images and papers. For your information, here is the link to the Amanda Jayne Designs Etsy Store or go to Etsy and search for Amanda Jane Designs 80 to check out all her lovely digi stamps and papers.

Here's What I Did

I printed out one of the Halloween  paper and trimmed it down to fit the 6" x 6" card blank leaving a slim border around the edge. I imported the hippo and his pumpkins into my software program along with a couple of extra pumpkins, which I placed behind him. To add a little extra interest I added an orange circle and a sentiment to the scene, placing it behind the hippo and pumpkins. I created an orange dotted frame around everything, and then resized the whole scene to fit my project. I printed out everything onto Copic friendly card, then coloured it up using my pens. The completed scene was die cut into a square and matted onto black card. To finish the card I added black die cut stars then added the finished topper to the front of the card. 

Here's What I Used

Digi Stamps: Amanda Jayne Designs - Hey Pumpkin Bundle

Copic Pens: Hippo - C1, C2, C3, C5, R00, R20 / Pumpkins - YR15, YR16, Y17, E08, YG01, YG63 / Ground - C1, C2, C3
