Coffee-themed Card with Miss Ink Stamps

| marialrussell

It’s week 4 guest-designing for Miss Ink Stamps and for today’s card, I am showcasing the Java Joes stamp set and my new love, Spectrum Noir TriBlend markers.  Here’s what the stamp set look like:

I started by stamping my images on some Neenah classic crest 110 lb. solar white card stock  with Lawn Fawn Jet Black ink (this is an alcohol-friendly ink).  I colored my images in with my TriBlend Markers.  The video below will show you how I colored my card, using the markers.  I just love, love, love the new TriBlends.  You get 3 markers out of one and they blend so easily.  Spectrum Noir will be coming out with more colors soon and I highly recommend them.

Here’s my card:

Clean and Simple Cards with Punny Snacks Stamp Set

| marialrussell

Last week, I talked to a crafty friend and she told me that she was so sad because the card she gave to a co-worker was thrown out.  She said that she has put so much work and effort on making the card and she was expecting the co-worker to appreciate it and at least keep it!  I know how she feels!  Which is why sometimes, you just need to work on clean and simple cards to give out to other people.  I only really give my “special cards”  to friends and family who I know will appreciate them a lot.

 

For todays card, I am showcasing the Punny Snacks stamp set, with Wonky Wavy Stitched Rectangle Dies and a bunch of other supplies available at the shop.

 

The Punny Snacks stamp set is perfect to create some clean and simple cards.  Don’t get me wrong, I also used this stamp set to make some very elaborate (special) cards but these images are so cute and simple and you can even create just a one-layer card.  It’s good to have a bunch of these cards in your stash for “just-because” kind of days.

 

I have a process video for you below.  I hope this inspired you to create some clean and simple cards!   I also listed and linked the supplies I used below.  Have a wonderful day!

Amazing Sister Card with Newton’s Nook Lovely Blooms

| marialrussell

Hello my crafty peeps!  I hope you are having a great week so far.  I am back today to share a card that I made for my sister, showcasing the Newton’s Nook Lovely Blooms stamp set and dies.  This stamp set is a must-have and is one of my favorites.

I have a process video for you today.  Just a little disclaimer though, I didn’t realize that my cat was on my craft table in my studio and had shifted my tripod a little bit so I was out of frame when I was recording the video.  I didn’t want to film the whole process again so I apologize for that.   I will make sure to NOT make the same mistake the next time and will check the camera while filming.  Thank you for understanding.

Here’s the card:
