Heffy Doodle October Release Blog Hop


Hello Crafty friends! Today I am honored to join some very talented Heffy Doodlers on the Heffy Doodle October Release Blog Hop. 


I have a few cards featuring the very cute Prehistoric Pals (SSS|SB) to share with you. Who of you reading this today watched the Flinstones growing up? I remember running home from school for lunch every day to wolf down my lunch and watch the Flinstones. Oh, those were the good ol' days! Guess you can say I'm kinda prehistoric too, lol! For inspiration, I drew on my childhood memories as you will notice these  Prehistoric Pals kinda resemble Fred and Wilma Flinstone if you remember them  (Although here Fred has a beard and lost some weight and Wilma finally let her hair down). 😂

To make this card I began by stamping out the images from the Prehistoric Pals (SSS|SB) onto Neenah cardstock. I then colored them in with Copic markers and die cut them with the coordinating dies (SSS|SB). So now that all my pieces are diecut I'm going to start creating the scene. Since Fred and Wilma are going clubbing, I cut out the back seat of the log mobile and glued them in place to look like they are sitting side by side in the car. Next, I stamped out some of the rocks onto what would be the background of the card and colored them in. I then colored the night sky in beginning with the moon and gradually I intensified the blue colors as the sky got further from the moon. I colored the ground using black and very dark greys, leaving a lighter spot in the middle. I  then used an alcohol-soaked towel to pick up some of the ink leaving behind some texture markings on the ground. Now that the background is colored all I did was add the stamped images onto the background using foam tape to pop them up and then added the sentiment strip to the bottom that had been stamped and heat embossed in white.

So fun! I think this will make a great card for one of my girlfriends!

I LOVE how this next card turned out. I think it is SO sweet and a great masculine card too!

For this card, again I stamped a few of the images from the Prehistoric Pals (SSS|SB), colored them in and die cut them with the coordinating dies (SSS|SB). To the mammoth, I added some gold gel pen hair like details. I love how the gold shines in real life. Next, I die cut the Stitched Stones (SSS|SB) out using a grey cardstock and then distressed the edges with Black Soot Distress Oxide Ink. I then stamped out the Cheers to you from the Whatcha Saying Now? (SSS|SB) set and then die cut the speech bubble with the coordinating die (SSS|SB). For the sentiment I stamped white pigment ink onto a black piece of cardstock and heat embossed it in white. To create the background, I used the Wildside Stencil (SSS|SB) to make this fun animal-like print pattern using Walnut Stain and Gathered Twigs Oxide Inks. All I did next was glue my pieces onto the card front using foam tape.

Winter Fun with Studio Katia's Ice Day Penguins


Hello my friends! I am back today with a winter scene card featuring the cute penguins from Kobi's Ice Day stamp set. It still is early for winter here in Canada but it has already snowed a few times here since September, but thankfully it has melted! Although as the cold weather approaches I begin looking forward to the fun winter activities ahead.

For this card, I was imagining these cute little penguins having fun on a winter day... walking across a frozen lake wing in wing... sliding across the ice on their bellies... I also thought it would be fun to make it look like it was snowing and so turned this scene into a shaker card.

To make this card I began by stamping out the images onto Bristol paper, colored them in with Zig markers and then die cut them with the coordinating dies. Next, I worked on the background by blending out Peacock Feathers, Broken China, and Mermaid Lagoon Oxide Inks onto the background. I then misted the background with water and picked it up with a paper towel leaving behind watermarks on the inked panel. The next thing I did was cut out the card front to create the windows for the shaker.  I used the large oblong window die from the Dotted Patterns Set 3 to cut out the two windows and then used the large rectangle die from the Dotted Patterns: Darling Ribbon Dies to cut out the entire panel. I then stamped out the winter fun stamp between the windows. I used the windows I had just cut out to figure out where to stamp the snowflakes onto the inked panel. Once the distress oxide ink was dry, I stamped out the snowflakes and heat set them with white embossing powder and began assembling the shaker card. The shaker mix consists of Silver Foil Stars and Sparkling Stars Confetti Glitter. Finally, I finished the card by gluing the penguins in place and adding some Iridescent Ice Flakes to the card front.
