TwinkleLane Designs

5/29/2020

0 Comments

 
Hello friends and happy Friday! I hope you have fun things planned for the weekend ahead!  Now that the weather is finally getting warmer here in New England, I am hoping for a little more time out on our deck.  

Today I am featuring another new-to-me digital stamp from a designer I found on Etsy called TwinkleLane Designs.  I have truly been enjoying incorporating digital stamps into my cardmaking because there are so many more options to consider and they are still relatively inexpensive to purchase.  But, the absolute best part is, hello instant downloads!  That appeals to my GOTTA-HAVE-IT-NEED-TO-HAVE-IT RIGHT-NOW personality!

Here is the beautiful hydrangea flower digital stamp I purchased from TwinkleLane Designs (with a direct link to Suzanne's Etsy store):

Meet Suzanne:

Hi, I’m Suzanne & I design and create all the digital products for Twinkle Lane Designs. Started in 2015 after I started drawing my own illustrations to put on family and friend’s cards. Seeing how much people loved my cards I soon wanted to share my drawings with everyone and opened an Etsy Store.
From a young age I had always loved drawing and making, which lead me to a degree in Fashion Enterprise, this gave me a lot of the starting blocks for my illustration and digital skills.  Although I also have a job as a Machinist I run Twinkle Lane Design in my spare time – sitting down and designing gives me time to relax.
From North East, England, I enjoy gardening in some of my free time – which is why you will see a lot of floral inspiration in my designs.

Card details: 

The base of this A2 sized card is made from Neenah Solar White smooth cardstock.  Using a 5 1/4" x 4" piece of Noble Peacock foil paper from Stampin' UP! I lined the base of the card with this beautiful paper.  (I did tie a silver edged white ribbon around the paper before adhering). I printed out the beautiful hydrangea stamp on Neenah Solar White smooth cardstock.  I colored the image with Copic markers and then fussy cut the flower out.  I adhered the card to the foil paper using 3M foam adhesive.  I punched the sentiment using a retired oval punch from Stampin' UP!  Lastly, I added a coat of Clear Wink of Stella over the flower to add lots of sparkle.

I have been using a lot of digital stamps in my cardmaking lately.  If you would like to learn more about working with this form of stamps, please read this blogpost that discusses digital in more detail.  Or, as always, please send me an email at ckomara@comcast.net with any questions and I am always happy to help in any way that I can.  

​Thanks for visiting and have a great weekend!

Pet Sympathy

5/28/2020

Anyone that knows me knows that I am a cat person.  However, with that being said, I know not everyone is so cat crazy and prefers. . . Ugh. . Dogs.  Just kidding!  I love those crazy energetic, drooling, barking, fire hydrant peeing creatures too (when they are at YOUR house)!  Unfortunately, no matter what side of the pet fence you are on, we are all bound to love and lose our dear four legged friends one day.  The new Puppy Paws dies and the Paws and Bones border dies from Whimsy Stamps will allow me to send my sympathies to those mourning the loss of their sweet pooches, since we all know I've got enough cat themed stamps to be considered a crazy cat lady!

The base of this A2 sized card is made from Neenah Solar White smooth cardtsock.  I used a 5 1/4" x 4" piece of kraft patterned paper to mat the card with.  Using the Scalloped Stitched Nesting Rectangle dies from Gina Marie Designs, I cut a piece of Neenah Solar White smooth cardstock.  I stamped the sentiment in the lower right corner using brown ink.  I made a shaker frame from the Puppy Paws die, out of brown cardstock.  I lined the frame with an acrylic sheet.  I used the Paws and Bones border die to cut a whole bunch of bones out of white cardstock to put inside the shaker.  Lastly, I punched a small heart out of red cardstock to adhere on the outside of the paw.

The new Puppy Paws dies could actually be used for cat (or a variety of another animals as well), so please don't let the name "Puppy Paws" limit your creativity!  I think bear paws will be up next!

Black on Black Heat Embossing

5/27/2020

Hello readers!  Today I am sharing a simple way to create elegant backgrounds for your cards.  It's nothing new or earth shattering, but may be something you have never considered before.  These cards were created using a tone-on-tone, or as in these examples, black-on-black heat embossing.  Simply heat embossing an image with black embossing powder onto black cardstock.  It is simple, subtle and stunning.  
Picture
I used the brand new RG Avenue digital stamp set called "Strong Courage" to create these cards.  There is also a full supply list with clickable links at the end of this post.

If you haven't already, I hope you will try the black-on-black heat embossing.  I think you will find it adds a very elegant look to your cards. 
Thank you for visiting and have a wonderfully creative day!

A Rainbow of Mandalas

5/27/2020

1 Comment

 
Hello and welcome! Today's post is all about coloring the beautiful Thankful Mandala stamp set by Birch Press Design. If you love to color, then these cards will be perfect for you to try. And, well, if you don't love to color so much (Hi, Karla!) then you can simply admire the beauty of someone else's coloring!
Picture
I will be the first to admit that I have a love/hate relationship with coloring. There are times when I find it peaceful and soothing, yet there are also days when I find it can be simply dreadful! So, listen to how YOU feel. If you feel like coloring today, then go for it! If you'd rather sit back and eat a hot fudge sundae, you won't find me judging you! : )
Picture
For this yellow mandala I used Copic marker numbers V17, R27, Y02 and YR68.
Picture
Picture
For the green mandala I used Copic markers numbers YG06, G21, G05 and BG13. ​
Picture
Picture
For the purple mandala I used Copic markers number RV19, RV55, RV66, V9 and BV02.
Picture
For the blue mandala I used Copic marker numbers B02, B24, B52 and B12
Picture
Each of these cards begins the same way. I stamp the large Thankful Mandala on a 5 1/2" x 3 1/4" piece of Neenah Solar White Smooth cardstock in Memento Tuxedo black ink. Then I selected 3-4 colors of Copic markers in complimentary hues and color away. There is no rhyme or reason to my madness! In all honesty, each mandala took me about half an hour to color and then I adhered various colored rhinestones for added sparkle. ​

Here is the Thankful Mandala stamp set from Birch Press Design that I used to create these cards:

I hope you have enjoyed these cards and will maybe try coloring some too! Thanks for visiting and have a wonderfully creative day.

Cool Beans

5/26/2020

Hello friends!  Today is a new product mini-release day at Whimsy Stamps and I'm happy to be sharing a fun new coffee themed stamp set called "Cool Beans."  For more on the latest new release products, or to see what my fellow Design Team members have made using this same stamp set, please visit the Whimsy Stamps website!  I decided to make these cute little coffee cups into a pop up box card.  This box card is one of the easiest "interactive" cards I know how to assemble without watching a YouTube tutorial 827 times!  
Picture

Card details: 

*A full list of supplies (with clickable links) is located at the end of this post.

The base of this card was made using the Lawn Fawn Scalloped Box Card pop up.  I cut two pieces of the box card base from kraft cardstock.  To decorate the side pieces of the box I used Garden Green cardstock and Neenah Solar White smooth cardstock.  I stamped a variety of the images from the new "Cool Beans" stamp set in Memento Tuxedo black ink and used my Scan ad Cut 2 electronic cutting machine to cut them.  I colored the images with Copic markers and began adhering them to the card using 3M foam adhesive for added dimension.  I stamped the sentiments in Garden Green ink on white cardstock and cut them using a 1" circle punch.  After all the images were added to the card, I put a coat of clear Wink of Stella on the coffee cups for added sparkle.

Inky Paws Challenge #124

5/25/2020

2 Comments

 
Hello friends and happy Monday!  I hope you all had a nice weekend.  I am excited to be sharing my card for the next Newton's Nook Inky Paws Challenge today.  I frequently hear from friends and fellow stampers that they aren't creative enough to design something on their own, or that they don't know what colors to use.  They feel frustrated before they even begin because they don't know where to begin.  I understand!  Yes, I've been there too!  That's the concept behind a card challenge.  It can help to inspire you and get the creative juices flowing by giving you a place to start.  Challenge #124 by Newton's Nook is a theme challenge.  Let the image below be your inspiration for creating a card (or scrapbook page) and see where this challenge takes you! 
Picture
Here is the card I created inspired by this week's floral theme challenge:
Picture

Card details: 

*A full list of supplies is located at the end of this post.

The base of this A2 sized card is made from 80 lb. Neenah Solar White Smooth cardstock.  Using the Whimsy Stamps Lattice #2 die, I die cut the lattice from white cardstock.  Underneath the lattice frame, I mounted a watercolored sheet of pink paper from the Lawn Fawn Watercolor Wishes paper pack.  I stamped two of the lily flowers from Newton's Easter Lily in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on white cardstock.  I colored in both flowers using Copic markers.  I die cut the Easter Lilies using the coordinating die cuts.  I adhered both sets of lilies to the card using 3M foam adhesive for added dimension.  I stamped the sentiment in Rich Razzleberry ink on a scrap piece of white cardstock.  I notched the bottom end of this sentiment and adhered it to the upper right corner of the card.  Before I adhered the entire card together, I wrapped a piece of Razzleberry ribbon around the card tying it with a "faux bow."  Lastly, I added a coat of Clear Wink of Stella to the flowers for added sparkle.

Will this theme inspire YOU to create?  Are you ready to get your paws inky with us and play along for a chance to win?!  We will randomly select one linked entry to receive a $20 store credit to the Newton's Nook Designs online shop! 
We will also highlight our favorites from each challenge the following Monday, so that all entries have a chance to be featured on the Newton's Nook Designs blog.

Please make sure you review the challenge rules page before you link up your project!  
Deadline to enter is Friday, June 5th, at midnight CST.

Thanks for visiting and I hope to see your creations there!

Poppy Birthday

5/22/2020

Earlier this month on one of my "off" weeks from work, I decided to begin assembling some cardmaking kits for my friends, family and local stampers.  Since the beginning of March, when the Covid-19 pandemic began, I have not been able to hold classes in my home studio, or in the community.  I keep receiving emails and text messages from my regular attendees who state how much they miss coming to classes, which just warms my heart as I miss hosting and teaching too!  So, I have been creating a variety of kits and making doorstop deliveries so that my class comes to them!  And WOW, are they are a hit!  With each and every new card kit I create, they are selling out within two days!  I am so happy that I can help my friends and family from a little boredom at home.  Here is one of the poppy themed birthday card kits I put together using the beautiful "Painted Poppies" stamp set by Stampin' UP!

The base of this A2 sized card is made from Neenah Solar white smooth cardstock.  I die cut a large circle from rainbow scalloped paper (sorry, I am unsure where that paper came from!).  I adhered the rainbow circle to the base of the card.  I stamped the sentiment "Cheers" in the upper right corner in Memento Tuxedo black ink.  Then using the Wavy Edgers die set, I created a layer of sand from kraft cardstock.  Using the Kinetic Waves die set, I die cut the waves from blue sparkle paper and adhered this in front of the sand line  I stamped the hippo on Neenah Solar White smooth cardstock in Memento Tuxedo black ink.  I colored the image with Copic markers and fussy cut the hippo with craft scissors.  I adhered the hippo on top of the sand using 3M foam adhesive.  I added a couple of clear rhinestones in the sky for added sparkle.  Lastly, I added a coat of Clear Wink of Stella to the hippo for even more sparkle.

Lovely (Vellum) Butterflies

5/19/2020

0 Comments

 
Hello readers! Today I am on the Birch Press Design blog sharing these rainbow cards featuring the Lovely Butterflies stamp set. I've been creating a lot of rainbow themed cards lately, because I find them very cheerful and uplifting and I think we could all use more sunshine (and rainbows) in our lives right now!
Picture
Picture

Card details: 

To create the first card, I die cut the Butterfly Garden Layer Plate C from white cardstock. I adhered this over a piece of rainbow patterned paper. I stamped one butterfly on each of five different colored cardstocks (red, orange, yellow, green and blue) and heat embossed the butterflies with white embossing powder. I used the coordinating Lovely Butterflies dies to die cut the butterflies out. ​I die cut a circle of vellum cardstock and stamped the sentiment in the middle of the circle in Versamark ink. I heat embossed the sentiment with white embossing powder and adhered it to the center of the card. I adhered the die cut butterflies down the left side of the card in a rainbow ROYGBIV pattern. I adhered the butterflies using small pieces of 3M foam adhesive.

The base of this second card was made using 80 lb. Neenah Solar White smooth cardstock. Using the Delfina Layering Plate A, I die cut the lattice from white cardstock. I adhered a piece of rainbow paper behind the lattice using a Tombow dot runner before adhering both to the card base. I stamped the sentiment "make a wish" in Memento Tuxedo black ink on a piece of scrap paper and notched the bottom end. I adhered thin pieces of orange, red and blue ribbon behind the sentiment and stapled it together. Yes, stapled! Why not?!  It's art!
Picture
I stamped a variety of butterflies from the Lovely Butterflies stamp set on vellum cardstock in Versamark ink and heat embossed them with white embossing powder. I die cut the butterflies using the coordinating Lovely Butterflies dies and adhered them to the card small pieces of 3M foam adhesive for added dimension.
Picture
Picture
I have created a YouTube video tutorial for you to watch and learn how both cards were created!

I hope these rainbow cards will bring some sunshine to your day!
