Jane's Doodles Spotlight Blog Hop

Hello everyone!! :o)

Welcome to a Jane's Doodles Spotlight Blog Hop. Today we are featuring FOUR new Christmas/Winter themed stamp sets released into the store. FOUR!!! :o)

Snow Globe

Winter Icons

Winter Village

Winter Words

Super cuteness overload!! :o) I had so much fun playing with these, so I created five cards for today. :o)

But prior I continue and show you my cards, I would like to welcome a new member to our design team, Linda from Netherlands. Welcome to the Team, Linda!!! I'm happy that you are joining us. :o)


And here are cards I've created for today. :o)

As you can see, I went crazy with brown/kraft/white color combination. :o) I love it!! It's definitely my favorite Christmas color combination so far. :o)

I colored all images in watercolor technique, using only one color: Distress Ink Ground Espresso. I love monochrome watercoloring. I find it great way to achieve Vintage kind of look, even with cute stamps. :o)

Except stamps from new stamp sets, I used snowflakes stamps from older Jane's Doodles stamp sets: Driving Home for Christmas and Winter Fun.


And now close up photos of my cards. :o)

Birthday Balloons Card (LMMS Inspiration)

Hi everyone! :o)

It's Little Miss Muffet Stamps Inspiration Week and I made this square, CAS (clean and simple), Birthday Balloons Card. :o)

I made this card for my nephew Anej, my cousin's son, who celebrated his 5th birthday on Saturday. HAPPY BIRTHDAY ANEJ!!!  ♥ I'm soooo late with this card... I'm sure he won't mind. It's never too late for good wishes. :o)

To make this card, I was inspired with a card I shared a week ago, Robot Birthday Card. I went with similar design, same color scheme, same sentiment... I used different images, layout, card dimensions are different...

I used an adorable LMM's Forgotten Scraps 'Celebrate Balloons' rubber stamp. I stamped the image on a thick white watercolor paper, colored it in watercolor technique using Distress Inks and fussy cut it out, leaving thin border around the image. Then I glued the image on a 2 mm thick foam sheet scrap and fussy cut it again.

Then I stamped a sentiment on a white top panel. I used Create a Smile 'Mini Birthday' stamp set.

I drew a line frame with black fine liner to make my CAS card more interesting. To do so, I was inspired with STUNNING work by Faye Wynn-Jones of Stampin Fluffnstuff. Be sure to visit her blog, her coloring skills and stunning CAS designs will blow you away. Thank you for the inspiration Faye!! :o)

Lastly, I glued a 1 mm thick foam sheet square on the panel, glued it on a top folded square card base, glued the image on the card, embellished the card with two enamel dots and my card was finished. :o)

Card dimensions: 102 mm x 102 mm (4" x 4")

• LMM's Forgotten Scraps 'Celebrate Balloons' rubber stamp
