Creating with toner foil and copic markers

Today I am here to show you my first project for the month of November for Jan's Digital Stamp Shop Challenge Blog. I wanted to try combining some foiling with a little bit of Copic coloring and still keep the card CAS.

Using Silhouette Studio to get good placement of the design, I placed the sentiment twice and then removed one of the words from each instance so that I had a stacked sentiment result. I added the birds to the top of the words, with enough space so that I could foil the sentiment without  getting any foil on the birds - remembering that since all was printed on a laser printer, it was all toner and would foil if foil was placed on it. I printed one panel onto white cardstock and one panel onto a light teal cardstock.

I lined the foil up carefully before sending it through the Minc machine so that it only covered the sentiment. I fussy cut the birds from the teal printed panel and added some shading with my Copic markers and the Copic blender. I used BG49, BG15 and BG10.

I completed the card by gluing the teal birds on top of the printed ones on the white panel and then using a black glaze pen to add legs and dots on the eyes. I matted the panel onto a teal piece before adhering the panel to a white cardbase.

We look forward to seeing you in this month's Anything Goes challenge at Jan's Digital Stamp Shop Challenge Blog. You have a month to enter and you have an additional chance at a prize if you use one of Jan's digis on your project.

Foiled Christmas

Good morning from Arizona. It is time for the mid month inspiration over at Jan's Digital Stamp Shop Challenge Blog and since I have just taken the leap to buy a Minc machine, of course I had to do some foiling.

I used the new "Santa's Coming" stamp set and added the precolored holly branch image to each corner of the top of the card, flipping the right hand one horizontally. I added the Joyful Christmas from the same stamp set further down on the card panel and then printed the panel out on my laser printer. I then added a small piece of gold foil to the sentiment, being sure that I did not get any onto the colored image. I then ran the panel through the Minc and the results were beautiful. I was so pleased.

I completed the card by adding the cardpanel to a gold cardstock matte and then the matte onto a white top-folding cardbase. The foil and the gold cardstock are a great match.

I hope you will join us at Jan's Digital Stamp Shop Challenge blog. You still have till the end of the month to enter your project. As always, it is Anything Goes.

Paper Pattern

We have October, people!! I can hardly believe it. This is my first card this month for Jan's Digital Stamp Shop Challenge Blog and today I have been playing on my tablet again in the app Procreate.

I used the pre-colored candy cane image from the stamp set and created the background patterned paper by arranging the candy canes in horizontal lines, alternating the orientation of the canes. I then placed an uncolored PNG version of the image on top of the background in a new layer and colored it in Procreate - experimenting with light and shadows. I opted for a green bow here - just because. I placed a white outline to the image on a layer between the cane and the background, to give it that sticker look and so that my colored candy cane would be differentiated from the background.

I then printed out the cardpanel and added it to a white A2 cardbase. I die cut the sentiment out of white cardstock and added it to the card. While the die cut adds a little dimension, that is all that is physically popped up on the card.

We would love to see your creation over at Jan's Digital Stamp Shop Challenge Blog. The theme is always Anything Goes and you have a month to enter.

Sending Hugs

Today I have a card that has something that I have never tried before -a one layer card panel using Copic markers. I have always been nervous about doing this because I was afraid that the markers would bleed into the background. This is my first project this month for Jan's Digital Stamp Shop Challenge Blog.

Beary Christmas

I am here again with another project for Jan's Digital Stamp Shop Challenge Blog and this time I am using an image and sentiment from an older stamp set. Is the classy bear lady not too cute?

The first Monday of the month means a new project for Jan's Digital Stamp Shop Challenge Blog. This month I am show casing Jan's pre-colored images.

Truly one layer

Today is time for my second project for Jan's Digital Stamps Challenge blog for this month and this month I am showing that digital stamps and elements are great to use when creating digital card fronts that can then just be printed on heavyweight cardstock and easily sent in the mail.

Digital card design

Can you believe it that we are now already in May? Believe it a not, it is so and so here I am with my DT project for Jan's Digital Stamps Challenge blog. I am using both the image and a sentiment from the new Patriotic Poppies stamp set (linked below).

I have some exciting news to share today. I was asked if I would join the Jan's Digital Stamps DT and since I was not on a team currently, I readily agreed. So here is my first project for the challenge blog. The challenge is Anything Goes. You can use any image, but there is a second prize dedicated to a winner that used one of Jan's digis on their project.
