Ombre Stamped Love

Hello! Today I have a fun ombre stamped background idea for you, with two card ideas! I love a good ombre background, and this stamp set from the Hedgehog Hollow December 2019 kit is so perfect for this technique.

Love you Ombre stamped background

Instead of typing out the details, I made a video to tell you just how to get this look on your cards, watch it below or on YouTube:

I also create a green & blue version. I love making non-traditional Valentine cards…because any time is a good time to send a card to your loved ones!

I’m often asked what supplies I use to make my cards and projects, so I’ve put together a list using affiliate links when possible. If you make a purchase with these links I may receive a small commission. These help me to keep up with blog costs and continue bringing you fun projects. Thank you so much for your support!

Thanks for stopping by today! I’ll be back with more inspiration soon!

Bird in a Nest

Hello again! Today I’m using the new December 2019 Hedgehog Hollow Kit to create a cute bird in a nest card. I’m sharing this on the Hedgehog Hollow blog today, too!

This card came together pretty quickly. I started with a card panel of Neenah Solar White 80# paper and stamped the little bird with Copic friendly ink. Then I stamped the “nest” I created with the swirl stamp in two shades of brown ink.

I colored up the bird with copic markers and added some dots with copics and colored pencils. Then I white heat embossed the sentiment.

At this point, it was difficult to read the sentiment because it was white embossing on white paper. So I used make up brushes to brush on some Distress Ink.

I only inked it up around the “nest” and left it softer color toward the top. Then I die cut the cross-stitched rectangle, and cut down the outer rectangle as well so I could add some sparkly paper peeking from the background!

For the final touch, I added some Nuvo Jewel drops under the sentiment. Isn’t this birdie so cute?

Valentine Snail Mail

Hello! Today I have the cutest Snail Mail to share….delivered by snails! This new set is from Trinity Stamps and I just adore this little guy.

He’s called Mr. Snailman and in this card I made him “Valentine snail”….notice his colors. 🙂 The heart confetti is called “Skip-A-Beat” (eep…that’s too cute!) and it’s also available today.

I was having way too much fun coloring him up, so I made another card using some creative masking. I couldn’t resist a matching envelope!

TIP: for your envelope…if you want your stamp to stay crisp and not smear in the transit, heat emboss it with clear embossing powder! Here I used Versafine onyx black ink and embossed in clear. I did not color up the image because that envelope is already a nice red.

I love this Snail Crew! Delivering happy hugs, no doubt. I love the pink sky…it just feels like a hug.

Hooray for snail mail! Well, that’s it for me today. I hope you enjoyed these projects.
