Stork with Baby Dragon (Created by Lisa Z.)

 

This is Stork with Baby Dragon (S223) and Welcome Little One Script (F239) sentiment.  Such an adorable stamp - I think it makes for a great baby card!

 

I started by stamping the image and sentiment with a Versamark Ink Pad and sprinkling some Black Embossing Powder on and heating it.  The Tombow Markers I used to colour the image were:  925, N35, N75, 850, N95, 990, 985, 192, 723, and 800.  Once the image was all coloured and dry, I proceeded to die cut the oval shape using a Spellbinders Die called Petite Ovals.  The larger Petite Ovals die was used with Grey Cardstock to cut a slightly larger oval for layering the image. Foam tape was applied to pop out the layered image and sentiment for some added dimension on this card.  The designer paper is from Echo Park-Bundle of Joy 6x6 Paper Pad, along with some SU Grey, Pink and White cardstock.  The Heart Banner die is from La-La Land.  It was used with Grey and Pink Cardstock. To complete this card, a Viva Décor - Black Pearl Pen was also used to add a couple of bunches of dots around the oval cut image.

Have a great weekend and thanks for stopping by!

I coloured Wade with Tombow Markers and water. After the image was all coloured and dry, I added some Glossy Accents to the ducky tube, Wade's horns, water wings, and flippers.  This image was cut using a Spellbinders die called Classic Scallop Rectangle.  Liquid Pearls was applied around the edge of the die cut, to create a bit of a border.  The designer paper is from Carta Bella - Ahoy There, along with some Red and White Cardstock.  Red Taffeta ribbon was used to divide the different designer papers.  Foam tape was used under the image to add some dimension.  A few red and sparkly Doodlebug Sprinkles were applied to the top right corner of the card to complete this card design.

Rainy Day Ducky (Created by Lisa Z.)

 

This is Rainy Day Ducky (R142) and Raggedy's Birthday Sentiment.  Such an adorable stamp - I think Ducky is just soooo stinkin' cute!

 

I started by stamping Ducky with Black Memento Ink.  The Copic markers I used to colour this image were:  0, C2, C3, R37, RV02, RV25, B21, B37, Y06, Y08, YR68, BG11, BG32, BG45, and BG49.  Once the image was all coloured, I applied some Glossy Accents to Ducky's beak for some shine.  Once I cut down the image to the appropriate size for my card, I then layered it with navy blue cardstock.  "Happy Birthday" was stamped on to a small piece of leftover white cardstock for my sentiment.  What an awesome way to use up scraps!  Spellbinders - Circle, Large and Small dies were used to cut and layer the sentiment.  Foam tape was applied to pop out the layered image and sentiment for some added dimension on this card.  The designer paper is from Crate Paper - Poolside 6x6 Paper Pad, along with some SU Night of Navy & White cardstock.  Two strips of SU Night of Navy grosgrain ribbon was added under the main image. To complete this card, a Viva Décor - Blue Pearl Pen was also used to add several dots in the corners.

Inside of Card

 

This is Burt's Bath (R103), It's Your Day (G036), part of sentiment from Swinging Birthday (H191) and Chilax Sentiment.  These stamps are so fun to use!!!  

I coloured Burt with Tombow Markers and water. After the image was all coloured and dry, I added some Glossy Accents to the all the bubbles in the bath, along with some yellow stickles to the centres of the flowers on Burt's shower cap.  Some navy blue ink was sponged lightly around the edges of the image, after it was die cut using a Spellbinders - circle die.  A piece of navy cardstock was die cut using the Spellbinders - Petite Scalloped Circle Die to layer the image.  The sentiment on the outside of the card was heat embossed with navy blue embossing powder. I used a 3/4" & 1" circle punch to punch out the bubbles(circles) for each word.  Each of the 3 circles were then placed in a Tim Holtz - Bubbles Embossing Folder to add some texture.  A white gel pen was applied to accent the bubble like circles, to help create more depth on the card.  Foam tape was used to adhere the sentiment and add some dimension.  

 

For the inside of the card, the sentiment was heat embossed using white embossing powder, on navy cardstock.  It was then cut out with a 1 1/4" circle punch.  Two additional navy blue circles were punched using a 3/4" and 1" circle punch.  The white gel pen was again used to add some accents on all of the bubbles.  Glue Dots were used to adhere the bubbles on the inside of this card, in order for the card to remain flat and to be able to close it completely.  The additional " Happy Birthday" sentiment - which is only part of the Swinging Birthday stamp was inked and stamped with navy ink. 

Supplies Used:

Birthday Bob (Created by Lisa Z.)

 

This is Birthday Bob (T080).  Bob makes me laugh as he seems soooo excited it's his birthday!!! 

 

For today's card, I thought I would try something new with my colouring.  I have mostly used Copic markers up until this time. This is my first attempt using Tombow markers and water.  I really enjoyed using them!  So hopefully, this may encourage you to try a new technique or two on your cards!

 

I started by applying Versamark Ink to my stamp, then sprinkled some Black Embossing Powder on the stamped image, and heated it.  The colours of Tombow Markers I used on Bob were:  N55, N75, 555, 850, 098, 942, 055, 452, 491, and 925.  Once the image was all coloured and dry, some SU Pumpkin Pie ink was lightly sponged around the edges.  Yellow stickles were added to the flames of the candles and Glossy Accents was applied to the balloon to make the card sparkly and shiny.  I then die cut an orange piece of cardstock using a Spellbinders die called Curved Rectangles to layer the image.  Foam tape was applied to pop out the layered image for some added dimension on this card.  The designer paper is from Simple Stories - So Rad 6x6 Paper Pad, along with some Orange & White cardstock.  An orange ribbon was also added to the left of the image to complete this card.

Have a great weekend and thanks for stopping by!

Frances Owl (Created by Jane Z.)

 

This is Frances Owl (P036), Lg. Fancy Happy Birthday (H037) sentiment, and Birthday Hat.  These stamps are so fun to work with!!!  

I coloured Frances with Tombow Markers and water. After the image was all coloured and dry, I added some Glossy Accents to Frances' beak (a bit difficult to see this in this picture).  The birthday hat was also coloured with Tombow Markers, then fussy cut out and glued on Frances' head.  Some yellow stickles were added to the hat as well.  For the background, I used a Sizzix - Tim Holtz Alterations Embossing Folder called Woodgrain set.  Before embossing the SU Crumb Cake cardstock, I used a SU crumb cake ink pad to ink up the entire inside, top flap of the embossing folder.  I then place the piece of cardstock in the folder and ran it through the Cuttlebug machine and viola, some of the ink appeared in the grooves of the tree-like embossed piece.  So cool!  This technique can be used several different ways, to create super awesome backgrounds that also have texture.  Some additional ink was sponged lightly and randomly on the embossed cardstock, just to give it a more realistic and weathered look. A 1 3/4" circle punch was used to make a hole in the tree for Frances to be placed.  Foam tape was added just to the top of his head to make him pop out of the hole a bit, while his lower body was glued in place behind the circle opening. The sentiment was embossed with White Embossing Powder and also applied using foam tape to add some dimension.  To complete this design, YNS - Gumdrops were added to the top corner and around the sentiment of this card.

Supplies Used:

 

Ink - Tombow Markers -969, 942, 985, 055, and 126. Versamark Ink Pad, Black Embossing Powder, White Embossing Powder, and SU Crumb Cake Ink Pad for sponging and embossing folder.

 

Paper - SU Black, White, and Crumb Cake Cardstock.

 

Misc - Glossy Accents, 1 3/4" Circle Punch, Sizzix Embossing Folder (Tim Holtz Alterations) - Woodgrain Set, YNS Gumdrops-Lemon & Love Earth, Sponge Daubers, Yellow Stickles, Water Brush, Foam Tape, and Glue Dots.

This is Part Time Gardener (S501), along with the sentiment from Sentiment Set #1 (U500). These are such adorable stamps!!!

 

I coloured this cutie with Copic Markers (T3, T5, T10, E01, E31, G94, G99, R21, R30, E49 and E77).  Some Smooch - pearlized top coat was applied to the flower centres, to help make them shimmer and sparkle. The sentiment was stamped in Versamark Ink then embossed with Stampendous Jeweled Gold Embossing Powder.  Foam tape was applied to pop out both the sentiment and the image.  The die used to create this card is by Cheery Lynn Designs, called Step Card #1.  The designer paper is from My Mind's Eye - Fancy That 6x6 Paper Pad, along with some Grey & White cardstock.  A bunch of gold pearl embellishments were added to complete this card, along with a SU photo corner punch.
