Dogs with Newspaper cards

By on February 19, 2019 in Paper Crafting, Valentines

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:

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.

Guinea Pig Love

By on February 12, 2019 in Paper Crafting

Hello! Today I have a fun new stamp set to share from Jessica Lynn Originals. I adore her work! For today, I’m sharing her brand new set called “Playful Guinea Pigs.”

These cute critters have stolen my heart, and I couldn’t stop at just one card…instead I made FOUR cards to share today. Here’s my first one:

bee-yourself-honeycomb-3

That Guinea Pig is dressed like a bee! It made me laugh and I thought he’d love some flowers to accompany him (the flowers are from the Bernese Mountain Dog set, which I will share with you soon!)

I colored him up with copics in E30, E33, E35 and added some glittery wings. Doesn’t he look happy?

My next card uses the thistles that are included in the Guinea Pig set, and I knew I needed a rainbow of thistles.

bee-flowers-2-NEW

I love this sweet Guinea Pig. Here I turned him into a black/tan/white guinea pig, which is the coloration I’m most familiar with. I used a rainbow of Copics to color up the flowers and some dots in the same colors just above them. The sentiment is heat embossed in my favorite Ranger embossing powder to look like a metallic element on the card. Here’s a better look at the metallic:

I embossed the background with a wood plank embossing folder for some texture.

Next, I used the cute Guinea Pig holding a branch of leaves:

love-you-NEW

I call this my Valentine Guinea Pig. He brings treats to the one he loves! Lol. There is a small heart in the set that is perfect for adding those pink hearts to the background.

My last card features a lighter Guinea Pig with one of my favorite sentiments from the stamp set:

sweet-as-can-be-NEW

The sentiment actually reads “You are sweet as can BEE,” but I removed the last E so I could use it with this little guy. It would be perfect with the guinea pig dressed up like a bee, too!

Isn’t he just as sweet as can be?!

Thank you, Jessica for giving me the opportunity to work with your cute stamps! I love these Guinea Pigs and I’m excited to share some more cards with you very soon using Jessica Lynn Original artwork. For more information about these sets, visit Jessica Lynn Original here.
