Pawprint Background

By on February 21, 2021 in Paper Crafting

Hello! Today I’m so happy to be sharing another pet card using the Hedgehog Hollow February Kit. There are so many great stamps in this kit, and that large pawprint jumped out at me to make a background!

I started with the large pawprint with a heart in the middle and stamped it with a very light amalgam ink. I wanted a subtle background for this card, but it would also be fun in bright colors!

I colored in the heart in the center of the pawprint with a light pink Copic marker and covered it in my favorite Stardust Stickles for some sparkle! (I left the bottom right pawprint uncolored so I could stamp the sentiment).

For the sentiment, I chose a dark green ink to match the hat. I love how these play off each other.

I positioned the dog under the hat and drew in some “SHADOWS” by using some cool grey Copic Markers in curves underneath. It may already look like there’s a shadow there, but I did draw some in!

Then I attached the dog under hat using some foam tape. I added it all to a heavy weight card base and VOILA! Done!








		
		
			
			
		
	





I loved creating this card. I hope you love it, too!

Hello! Today I’m excited to be guest posting over on the Heffy Doodle blog. I’m featuring the new “Oh Crumbs” stamp set with the cutest Corgis ever! Head on over to the Heffy Doodle Blog to see how I made these four cards:






		
		
			
			
		
	





I also have a bonus VIDEO for you today, showing you how to Mirror Image any stamp in your collection.





See those Corgi cards on the left? I used the mirror image technique to get one Corgi to face the other! Such a fun technique and great when you want to have additional options.





Watch the video below or on YouTube:













I hope you give this technique a try yourself. I remember when I first learned how to mirror image a stamp from my friend Suzy…I was mesmerized and did not think I would be able to remember how to do it. But once you try it, it’s easy!

Dogs with Newspaper cards

Hello! Today I have a fun post to share with a VIDEO! I’m showing you how you can use an everyday item (newspaper) on your cards today.


I thought today would be the perfect time to share this technique because I have the cutest Bernese Mountain Dogs stamps to share from Jessica Lynn Originals.


Take a look at these cuties:

I colored them up with Copics. The one on the left uses the Warm Greys (W3, W5, W7, W9) and the one on the right uses Neutral Greys (N3, N5, N7, N9). See the difference in colors?


These are super fun to color up! I thought they’d be fun to pair with newspaper! So two of my cards today feature newspaper as a design element.


In this first one I used some Gesso to give it more of a subtle whitewashed look for my card.

And in this second card, I used some Distress Ink in Hickory Smoke to ink up the paper-wrapped flowers. This sweetheart brought in some flowers for your birthday! He looks pretty pleased with himself.

Here’s a close up to show a bit more of that detail in the fur. By adding small lines and dots, you give the fur more texture and I think it makes him look so dapper! (Do people even use that word anymore? Lol.)

Watch my video below or on YouTube to see the tricks I share in using such a thin paper on your cards:




 


For my last card, I wanted to use that sitting Bernese Mountain Dog to share a message:



		
		woof-you-card

How cute is he? He does Love You, you know. Aren’t dogs just the best for showing love?!


I hope you enjoyed these projects today. For more information about this set and her other cute stamps that are available, visit Jessica Lynn Originals here.
