Amanda Jayne Designs - Christmas Cookie Cow #2

 Hi Everyone

I'm back today to share another of my cards promoting a Christmas digi stamp set from Amanda Jayne Designs. As I mentioned in my previous post, the set is called 'Christmas Cookie Cow' and it includes: 4 digi stamps - 2 uncoloured and 2 pre-coloured. I also used one of the sentiments from the 'Christmas Sentiments' set. I used Copic pens to colour with. I hope you like it. x

FYI - Amanda has lots of  lovely digi stamp, papers and sentiments in her Etsy shop, along with some pre-coloured images and papers. Here is the link to the Amanda Jayne Designs Etsy Store to check out all the digi stamps and papers.

Here's What I Did 

For this card I trimmed down a piece of pink textured card and glued it flat to the front of a 6" x 6" card blank, then added a pretty star background frame over the top which was gifted to me by a friend.

I imported the cookie cow into my software and added a Christmas sentiment, everything was then resized to fit my project. The scene was printed onto colouring card, and then coloured with Copic pens. The finished image was die cut into a circle. 

The cow was printed out again onto masking paper, and fussy cut out. The mask was placed over the image and blue distress ink was applied around it. Gold paint was watered down slightly and flicked all over the image. The mask was removed once everything was dry; then mounted onto a pink scalloped circle. The finished topper was added to the front of the card. To complete the card, I added glitter to the cookie and a few pink snowflakes. 

Here's What I Used 

Digi Stamp Set: Christmas Cookie Cow

Digi Sentiment: Christmas Sentiments

Copic Pens: Cow - E00, E01, E02, NO, N2, N4, N6 / Bow - R20, R22, R32 / Cookie - E31, E33, E35, R20, R22 / Ground - N0, N2

Amanda Jayne Designs - Christmas Cookie Cow #1

Evening Everyone

Today I'm sharing one of my recent cards promoting on of the Christmas digi stamp bundles from Amanda Jayne Designs. I will be back again later in the week with another card using the same stamp set. 

So for today's card I have created a sweet Christmas card using one of the stamps from the 'Christmas Cookie Cow' set. The set includes: 4 digi stamps - 2 uncoloured and 2 pre-coloured, I also added a sentiment from the 'Christmas Sentiments'. I used Copic pens to colour with. I hope you like it. x

FYI - Amanda has lots of  lovely digi stamp, papers and sentiments in her Etsy shop, along with some pre-coloured images and papers. Here is the link to the Amanda Jayne Designs Etsy Store to check out all the digi stamps and papers.

Here's What I Did 

I trimmed down a piece of lovely red Christmas paper from my stash and glued it to the front of a 6" x 6" card front, leaving a slim border around the edge. I imported the sweet cookie cow into my software and added a Christmas sentiment, everything was then resized to fit my project. I made the cow a little larger and tilted her so she looked like she was popping up from the corner. 

The image and sentiment were printed onto colouring cardstock and cut with a square die. The image was coloured with Copic pens. The cow was printed out again onto masking paper, and fussy cut out. The mask was placed over the image and blue distress ink was applied around it. Gold paint was watered down slightly and flicked all over the image. The mask was removed once everything was dry; then mounted onto red and white card cut using a postage stamp die set. The finished topper was added to the front of the card. To complete the card, I added glitter to the cookie and a few red snowflakes. 

Here's What I Used 

Digi Stamp Set: Christmas Cookie Cow

Copic Pens: Cow - E00, E01, E02, NO, N2, N4, N6 / Bow - R14, R27, R35, R37 / Cookie - E31, E33, E35, R14, R35

Lili Of The Valley - Happy Christmas #2

Good Morning

I'm back again, as it's pre-order day of the new Lili Of The Valley (LOTV) 'Happy Christmas' polymer stamp set. To pre-order them simply head to the LOTV Etsy store (link below) and if you like and wanted them, simply order away. To give you a little more inspiration, on my card today I merged 2 of the stamps together to create a snowy scene, which I coloured with Prismacolor pencils. I hope you like it. x

For your information, here is the link to the LOTV website which hosts freebies and tutorials, and the LOTV Etsy Store so you can check out all the stamps. FYI you can use both sites to access all the stamps. 

Here's What I Did & Used

I trimmed down some lovely Christmassy patterned paper big enough to fit the front of a 6" x 6" card blank, leaving a slim border around the edge. The paper was glued flat onto the card front, and a white die cut fancy frame was added over the top.

Next I printed my digi sentiment onto my colouring card and hand stamped Father Christmas (FC) underneath it. FC was stamped again onto masking paper, and fussy cut out. The masks was placed over the top of the stamped FC and the tree was stamped next to him; the mask was removed. A line was drawn across the bottom to ground everything. The scene was coloured using Primacolor pencils.

The finished scene was die cut into a circle and mounted onto a pierced circle, cut from red card. The completed topper was adhered to the centre of the fancy frame. 

To finish the card, I added white dots to FC's cheeks and eyes, several white die cut stars and a little glitter to the star.

Polymer Stamp Set: Happy Christmas

Digital Sentiment: Elegant Christmas

Prismacolor Pencil: I will email you the list on request as there was a lot of colours.

Other: White 6" x 6" Card Blank, Desert Storm Neenah Card, Red and White Card, 'I'll Be Gnome for Christmas' Paper Pad (The Works),  Square 'Postage Stamp Frame' Die Set (Creative Expressions), Glitter, Double Sided Tape, White Pen, Black Fineliner, Black Ink, Double Sided Tape, Glue

Lili Of The Valley - Happy Christmas #1

Good Morning

I'm back in the Christmas spirit....early I know. Sorry!!! Today I'm sharing a new polymer stamp launch from Lili Of The Valley (LOTV) called 'Happy Christmas', which will be available on pre-order from tomorrow (Monday 11th November). For my card today I dusted off my Prismacolor pencils, I made a quick and simple card as I know many people have to batch make at Christmas time. I hope you like it. x

For your information, here is the link to the LOTV website which hosts freebies and tutorials, and the LOTV Etsy Store so you can check out all the stamps. FYI you can use both sites to access all the stamps. 

Here's What I Did & Used

I die cut piece of candy striped patterned paper with a postage stamp die. The die is a great size, as it's big enough to fit the front of an 5" x 5" card blank leaving a slim border around the edge. This was glued flat onto the card front. 

First I printed my digi sentiment onto my colouring card and hand stamped the star above it. The star was coloured using Primacolor pencils. The scene was die cut into a small square, and mounted onto a square postage stamp frame, cut from red card. This was in turn mounted onto a larger white postage stamp frame, and adhered to the centre of the card front.. 

To finish the card, I added white dots to the star's cheeks and eyes, and a little glitter to the fur trim on the hat.
