Woodblock Wednesday December 2025 Edition

 

 

Hello and welcome to another Woodblock Wednesday edition where we dust off those wood block stamps we all have just don't use much anymore. For my card, I dusted off an old, and I mean old, retired Stampin Up set called Bulbs that I received from a friend before she passed away last year.  It's kind of like she's still crafting with me. I do miss our talks.  

 

I started out by stamping the tulip bulbs in memento tuxedo black ink before coloring the image using Castle Arts watercolor pencils and a blender pencil.  Once the tulips were colored, I dug out a retired sentiment set called Wonderful Words and stamped the "thank you" along the side before adding some white/silver bakers twine.

Oh Little Town......

 

....not Bethlehem.  Hello and welcome.  2nd post for me today.  If you're looking for my gnomes and coffee cards, please scroll down one post.  

 

Today I'd like to share with you a Christmas card I made using the Christmas Village set from Pajama Crafter Stamps.  I started out by stamping the town, and tree, images in memento tuxedo black ink on Copic white card stock before coloring using my Ohuhu markers.  Once the coloring was finished, I fussy cut the houses, and lamp post, out before highlighting them using Sakura 3D glaze/souffle pens.  After adding the houses using pop dots, I then highlighted the "snow" using some star dust stickles since it's the easiest way to add glitter. I'm really happy with how this turned out.  It's at least my version of a clean and simple Christmas card.  LOL

Hello and welcome. It's week 2 of the #summeraspired2023 collaboration hop over on Instagram where we're given two prompts for the week and we choose which one to use or combine them.  For my card today, I pulled out a GinaK Designs stamp set called Vintage Rose Mini (now retired) I had won last year and just hadn't used yet.

 

I started out by stamping my image in Memento tuxedo black ink onto scrap Hammermill white card stock before stamping the saying right underneath.  I then pulled out my Castle Arts pencils to color the rose bouquet using rainbow colors since I needed a pet sympathy card. Once my coloring was finish, I then color spritzed a long retired Stampin Up Only Orange marker then layered.  My only embellishment used were some small black brads before adhering the layered panel onto a white card. On the inside I stamped a Scrapbook.com sympathy sentiment with a paw print from a retired Papertrey Ink pet sympathy set stamped underneath.

 

I'm really happy with how it turned out.  I've been dealing with some bad migraines again.
