Woodblock Wednesday October Edition

 

 

Hello and welcome. It's time for this month's Woodblock Wednesday challenge where we're inspired to pull out those woodblock stamps (we all have them) and show them some love.  My card today uses an old Alias Smith and Rowe stained glass heart stamp I received from a friend as a RAK. 

I started out by stamping the image in memento tuxedo black ink onto white Copic X-Press It card stock before coloring using both Prismacolor and Copic markers. Once the coloring was finished, I layered it and added brads before adhering my layered image to an orange card.  I then went over all of the stamped "black" lines using a black Sakura 3D glaze pen before "painting" crystal ice stickles on the hearts using a Q-Tip.

Falling For Wednesdays Week 6

 

 

 

 Hi friends! Welcome to week 6 of Falling For Wednesdays hosted by @kellysantidesigns If you are interested in joining the Winter Hop starting in November, please send Kelly a PM! This week’s fall theme is: Farmer’s Market!  For this week's card, I allowed myself to be inspired by the pumpkin patch we used to take the kids to when they were little and the weekend farmers market here in town.  

 

So I pulled out my Happy Pumpkin Season stamp set (NBUS) from MFT Stamps, and a slimline card from my scrap pile, and stamped all of the images in memento tuxedo black ink before coloring using my Castle Arts pencils.  Once my coloring was finished, I stenciled the background hills using a retired MFT mountain/snow mound stencil and the clouds using my PFS slimline cloud coverage stencil using PFS blending brushes.  After adding some clear Gin and Tonic sequins, my card is finished.

Biting Me and More VSN

 Hello and welcome.  Today I'd like to share with you a couple of cards, and a tag, made for Splitcoaststampers Virtual Stamp Night and a few other challenges.

First up is a tag made using a mini set I won a couple of years back from Visible Image and hadn't used yet.  I don't see it listed anymore on their website so it must be retired now.  I started out by stenciling a dot background using a couple of Tim Holtz Multi Shifter Dots Stencils using fired brick and stormy sky distress inks before over stamping my images in memento tuxedo black.  After layering my image panel to create a tag, I added some ribbon scraps and red sequins from my stash adhering the sequins using glossy accents.  I'll add it to a card later.

Next up is a card made using a different Visible Image's set Rock Out.  I started out by creating my background by running a Tim Holtz tumbled glass and wild honey distress inks over my image panel before adding some Tim Holtz Multi Shifter Stencil dots by applying broken china and spiced marmalade distress inks using Picket Fence Studios blending brushes.  Once I was satisfied with my background, I stamped out my images in memento tuxedo black ink before layering and adding brads.  The card is stamped in broken china ink using Visible Image's Ink Splats.  After popping up my layered image panel, I added some Spiked Ocean Water sequins adding them using Glossy Accents.

Finally, I have a cute little House Mouse card made using the retired Hummingbird Express and Too Cute saying.  Although Stampendous now produces the House Mouse line, my stamps are from Stampa Rosa which is closed down.  I started out by my image, and saying, in memento tuxedo black on a Hammermill white scrap card stock, before coloring using Castle Arts pencils then stippling tumbled glass distress ink around the edges and layering.  After adding some black brads, I added some crystal ice stickles to finish it off.

Hello and welcome.  Today begins a new challenge over at Pammie's Inky Pinkies and this week we are being sponsored by Varada Sharma.  I would like to thank them for providing the images the design team is using this week.  For my card, I am using the Magnolia Wreath image. 

After combining the saying with my image using a watermark program, I printed it off onto Neenah white card stock before coloring using Castle Art pencils and a gold gel pen.  I then stippled some Tim Holtz broken china distress ink around the edges before layering then adding some white brads.  Once I had the layered image adhered to the card, I added some gold sequins I found in my stash that I didn't know I had; adhering them using Ranger Glossy Accents.  I'm happy with how it turned out considering I'm still dealing with residual COVID issues and a migraine.

A Couple Of Clean And Simple Birthdays

Since getting COVID added wtih my chronic migraines, I have been feeling like garbage.  So, I decided to make a couple of clean and simple birthday cards using an old Inkadindadoo clear stamp set I've had for years and never used.  That way I could, at least, try focusing on something other than my health.

First card up is a one layer card.  I started out by stamping the lizard image/saying in memento tuxedo black ink onto a small scrap of white card stock before coloring with Castle Arts pencils.  I then stamped the inside saying after carefully cutting it in half so it would fit.  I then stamped the lizard again coloring with colored pencils.

Heartfelt Thanks, Before/After Turkey

Hello and welcome.  Today I'm playing along with a couple of challenges over at Splitcoaststampers among others.  My first card uses both some old and a new stamp (NBUS) sets.  I started out by stamping the lighthouse scene and boats (Mark's Finest Papers now closed) in memento tuxedo black ink and colored using prismacolor watercolor pencils with a blender marker.  I then used a Picket Fence Studios slimline cloud stencil, along with their blending brushes to create the background clouds.  After stamping the saying from a Hero Arts set I received as a gift, I was ready to assemble the card adhering it using some faux brads.  The final touches were waterfall ice stickles and a Sakura 3D glaze pen for the birds.

613 Avenue Create - November Anything Goes 

 

My second card uses an old, old, old Hanna Stamps (now closed) Thanksgiving set I've had for years and never used.  Why? I have no idea. For this one, I decided to go with a bit of snarky humor.  After stamping the turkey (live and cooked) in memento black, I colored them with Castle Art pencils before stippling some more mustard around the colored panel.  Once that was finished, and layered, I added some brads and faux sewing before laying aside to work on my card.  The card base has three different Thanksgiving images stamped in more mustard to make the background.  After adding my layered panel, I color spritzed a SU close to cocoa marker over the entire card before adding some tan fibers and googlie eyes to finish it off.

Hello and welcome to another Pammie's Inky Pinkies challenge.  This week we are sponsored by StarStampz.  I would like to thank them for the images they provided the design team.  For my project today, I am using the image Goldfish Fishing.  

I started out by printing the image onto Neenah white card stock then colored it using Castle Art pencils before stippling Tim Holtz tumbled glass/mowed lawn ink around the edges then layered and adding purple brads.  For the card, I started out by stamping a retired Stampin Up background Hearts and Swirls in Altnew Deep Iris ink before dry embossing a scrap strip of lavender card stock.  Once both of those were done, I assembled my card base then added the layered image panel.  I then stamped my saying in memento tuxedo black ink from a long retired Stampin Up set called Mixed Greetings.  After adding some silk flowers with a matching purple brad center, my card was finished.

Hello and welcome to Pammies Inky Pinkies challenge #2116.  This week we are sponsored by Newton's Nook Designs.  I would like to thank the Newton's Nook for sponsoring this week's challenge.  Trust me, if you love cats or especially cute images, then Newton's Nook is your kind of stamp store.   For my project today, I am using a cute little set I recently bought (NBUS) called Lake Advice, and you know, the sentiment is so true.

For my card, I decided to try using up some of the scraps still on my stamp table.  I started out by stamping all my images in memento tuxedo black ink before coloring using Castle Art pencils and a blender pencil.  I then stippled some Tim Holtz tumbled glass distress ink around the edges before lightly blending some summer sun behind the trees so it looked like the sun was rising/setting.  I then stamped the card itself in gardent green ink before stippling the same ink around the edges. After adding some ice stickles to highlight the water, I then cut out the canoe/oar and adhered them using glue dots.  The final touch was adding some Picket Fence Gin and Tonic sequins using Ranger glossy accents to adhere them due to their small size.  I'm really happy with how this turned out, especially since I made it while dealing with another migraine.  Had to focus on something else besides the pain since the pain meds weren't working.

Hello and welcome.  It's time for another challenge over at Pammies Inky Pinkies.  This week we are being sponsored by Lawn Fawn.  I would like to thank Lawn Fawn for their sponsorship.  

I started out by stamping the Winter Bunny (which might be retired since I can't find it in their store currently) in memento tuxedo black ink twice onto scrap white card stock then colored using Copic markers.  Once my coloring was finished, I die cut it using the matching die, then set it aside.  I then took some scrap Close to Cocoa card stock, and several different colors of scrap green card stock, then die cut them using my dusty Sizzix mountain and tree dies, again using my Big Shot.  Once I was finished die cutting everything, I took some acrylic white paint and painted the snowy peaks and trees before setting them aside to dry.  After the paint was dry, I decided I wasn't happy with how the trees turned out, so I flipped them over and re-painted the tree, however, I also dug out an old toothbrush and "splattered" white paint onto the trees.  I was really happy with how the trees turned out this time.  Digging through my scrap designer paper stash, I found this snowflake one I've had for who knows how long and added it to my card base.  I then took several strips of scrap white card stock, and tore them to size creating my own " snowy hills" before blending some Stampin Up bashful blue and going grey dye inks using my Picket Fence Blender Brushes.  Once the blending was done, I took a wire curler I've had for years and slightly "curled" the torn borders to give them more "depth".  Now I was ready to assemble my card. I added the scrap snowflake designer paper and mountains first, allowing some parts of the mountains to go over the card edges.  I would trim these off later.  Next up, I added my "snowy hills", adhering them by adding adhesive only to the right/left sides and bottoms of the torn strips.  Taking my trees, I adhered those using mono adhesive, dimensionals and pop dots for added effects.  My sledding bunny was then added them on top of each other, popping them up, using dimensionals for depth.  The only other embellishments were crystal ice stickles and a few Picket Fence Gin and Tonic snowflake sequins.   I love how this card finally turned out, especially since the whole thing (except the card base) was made using scrap card stock and designer paper.

Hello and welcome to another Pammies Inky Pinkies challenge.  As always our challenges are anything goes.  This week we're sponsored by  CAS-ual Fridays Stamps and I'd like to thank them for the stamps provided to the design team.  For my card, I am using the beautiful Everyday Dragonflies and there are matching dies here. 

After stamping the larger dragonfly in memento tuxedo black ink onto Neenah white card stock, I colored it using Castle Art Pencils before stippling Tim Holtz tumbled glass and tattered rose distress inks around it then layered.  Once I had added some brads from my stash, I adhered the layered image to a card made using white card stock and Echo Park Clover Meadow designer paper I've had for years and never used (NBUS) until now before sponging regal rose ink around the edges.  I then stamped the saying in memento tuxedo black onto scrap white card stock then lightly stippling leftover stormy sky ink around it before layering onto scrap card stock and added that to my card using glue dots.  I then took some scrap wasabi card stock, punched it using my dusty Martha Stewart fern punch, ran it through the crimper before adding to the card using Ranger Glossy Accents along with some Jolee's die cut flowers with bling centers.  The final touch was to add crystal ice stickles to the dragonfly's flower centers and hearts.  I'm very happy with how this turned out and I got to use a lot of scraps in the process of making it.

It's A Bookmark Kind Of Day

Hello and welcome.  Today I have a cute little bookmark to share with you using Bugaboo's Dollar Flower Bug and like the name says, it's only $1. I've had this image for some time and just have not used it before.

 

After printing off the image on Neenah white card stock, I colored it using Castle Art pencils along with a blender pencil before lightly stippling tumbled glass and garden green inks around it.  I then layered it using scrap card stock before sliding into a plastic sleeve I've had in my stash for years.  After adding the sleeve, I punched a hole using a hand held rectangle punch before adding, and tying off, scraps of ribbon.  It a quick and easy gift for someone, or for yourself.

Oh For Fox Sake!!

 

Hello and welcome.  Today is day five of Bugaboo's birthday bash, as well as the weekly Humor Me Wednesday, so we want to see you make us laugh!  My card today features the For Fox Sake image (a new one for me) that I've turned into a belated birthday card.  This image would also be great for forgotten anniversary's, belated graduations, etc but you get the hint...right?

After printing my image off onto Hammermill white card stock, I colored it using both prismacolor and copic markers before stippling stormy sky and garden green inks around it then layered.  The card is made using Stampin Up really rust as a base along with PTI's Fall Prints designer paper I've had in my stash for some time.  Once the card was assembled, I sponged some ruby red ink around the edges before adding the layered image.  After adding some twine ribbon (recycled from my husbands Christmas present), I added some epoxy letters, as well as Stampin Up's ruby red buttons.  I've had both for years and have never used them until now.  The final touches were a white gel pen for the fox's eyes, and then a 3D glaze pen for the "for fox sake" words so they would look like I had heat embossed them.  I'm really happy with how this turned out.  I still have a bit of the migraine I've been dealing with for the last couple of months.

Cinnamin Roll Presents

 

Hello and welcome.  Today is day 3 of Bugaboo's annual Holiday Chaos week of challenges over at Catch The Bug blog.  Today is the Anything But A Card day.  For my project, I've chosen to make a Christmas stocking stuffer, or it can be used as a hostess gift too.  Safely...of course!

I started out by printing the never before used Gingerbread Ornaments image onto Hammermill white card stock then colored it using both prismacolor and copic markers.  For the white parts of the candy canes and parts of the gingerbread men and woman, I used a Souffle white pen and a white gel pen for the gingerbread teeth.  Once the marker coloring was finished, I added some real red chalk then layered the image and added brads.  I then took a cinnamen roll candle I had purchased in Michael's dollar spot a few years ago and added it to a clear cellophane bag.  After adding my bag topper, I secured it in place with staples.  The final touch was adding some silver snowflake stickers I've had for years.

Jesus Christmas Tag

Hello and welcome.  Today is Anything But A Card day over at Bugaboo's blog Catch The Bug, so today I have a cute little Christmas Tag to share using the Christmas Words - Jesus image; which is new for me.

After printing the image onto Hammermill white card stock, and coloring with both prismacolor and copic markers, I stippled some Tim Holtz tumbled glass and chipped sapphire inks over, and around, before layering.  I then added some brushed copper mini brads before dusting off my Making Memories stapler, and staples, then  stapling a grey ribbon to the top.  I haven't used that stapler in years!!  I had to literally DIG through the drawers on my desk to find them. Now where did I find them?  Right were they should have been!  Ugh!  I'm very happy with how it turned out despite the frustrated stapler search.
