JDS - Salty Kisses and Sandy Toes

Hello and Good Day my dear Crafty Friends!

Today's DT Card is once again featuring the wonderful Jan and her brand new Digital Stamp Set called Sand Box. It was so much fun creating this pretty Mini Slimline Card as it reminded me that Summer is almost here!

Salty Kisses and Sandy Toes

To create this pretty beach scene, I first printed my images and sentiment on Accent Opaque 80 lb Cardstock and then proceeded to add my colors.

Here is the list of Copic, Ohuhu and Distress Oxide used:

Sky: Distress Oxide - Broken China - Using a blender brush and a handmade cloud stencil, I lightly applied ink to the top portion of the panel.

Sea: Copic - B21 and White Gelly Roll 08

Sand: Copic - E33, E35, E37

Bucket: Ohuhu - G1, G2, GY8

Whale: Ohuhu - GG3, GG1, Copic - B21

Sea Shell: Copic - R22, R21, R20

I then glued all my panels together using Gina K Connect Glue. Here are the dimensions of each panels: 

Card Base: Accent Opaque 100 lb - 6" x 7" scored at 3 1/2"

Black Panels: 3 x Accent Opaque 80 lb inked with a black marker - 5 3/4" x 3 1/4"

Top Panel: Accent Opaque 80 lb - 5 5/8" x 3 1/8"

And that completes the card, very easy and quick. You can find this pretty stamps set here in Jan's Digital Stamp Shop.

JDS - Flying by to say Hi!

Hello my Crafty Friends,

Today's DT card for Jan's Digital Stamps was quite fun to do. 

Flying by to say Hi!

I first started by inking seven different cardstock with my Distress Oxide Inks to create my Rainbow. Below are the inks I used:

Pink: Worn Lipstick, Picked Raspberries

Red: Candied Apple

Orange: Carved Pumpkin

Yellow: Mustard Seed

Green: Mowed Lawn

Blue: Blue Print Sketch

Purple: Seedless Preserves

I then proceeded to die cut seven rainbows using the Trinity Stamps Slimline Rainbow Builder Die Set and used one piece of each color to create the perfect Rainbow. 

Next step was to die cut my Clouds and to ink my Sky. To do so, I used one of the cloud piece with Distress Oxide Salty Ocean and a Blender Brush to ink clouds here and there on my Accent Opaque 80lb Panel.

For my Hot Air Balloon, I printed this beautiful digital stamp from JDS store called up-UP-AWAY! and colored the image with the following Copic and SN:

Balloon and Basket Fabric - V09, V06, V04

Ribbon - YG95, YG93, YG03

Sweater - IG3, B21, BG01, B000

Overall Pants - IG5, YG95, YG93, YG03

Basket - E37, E35, E37

Skin - E04, E11, E02, E000

Helmet - IG5, IG3, IG1

I have to confess that it was a challenge to color my image as most of my Copics are dry but I managed to mix different shades and for some miracle, my Green lasted until I was done so it all turned out ok.

I then assembled my card and cut my panel to 8 1/4 x 3 1/4 and glued it on a 8 1/2 x 7 top folding cardbase scored at 3 1/2.

The last step was to glue my sentiment.

JDS - Sweeter than Honey!

 

Good Morning my Crafty Friends!

Today’s card was made using two stamp set from Jan's Digi Stamps called Honey Bees and Holly & Boo.

Here is a preview of my card

Sweeter than Honey!

 

To create this card, I first resized and printed the sentiment from the HoneyBees stamp along with the image from this cute new stamp set called Holly & Boo (currently on sale) on a 3 ¼ x 8 ¼ white panel of Accent Opaque 80 lb Cardstock. I then used a blender brush and inked some Wild Honey Distress Oxide here and there around the card and then proceeded to glue the Jar of Honey that I had previously cut and stacked three times to create dimension.

To make my panel pop, I used a piece of 3 3/8 x 8 3/8 white Cardstock and used a Black Copic to color along the edges to make it look like Black Cardstock. I then mounted everything to a 3 ½ x 8 ½ top folding AccentOpaque 100 lb Cardstock.

Here is another look at the 

Sentiment from the Honey Bees Stamp Set:

JDS - BEE Strong!

Good Morning my Crafty Friends!

Today’s card is once again made using a stamp set from Jan's Digi Stamps called Honey Bees.

Here is a preview of my card:

 Bee Strong!

To create this card, I resized and printed the images on a 3 ¼ x 8 ¼ panel of Accent Opaque 80 lb Cardstock. I then used a blender brush and inked some Wild Honey Distress Oxide here and there around the card and then proceeded to glue the honeycomb that I had previously cut using my Cricut. To add some interest, I also used my Mustard Seed Distress Oxide and added a light touch of color as a background. The Nest and Bees were then colored with my Copics.

To make my panel pop, I glued it on top of 2 pieces of 3 3/8 x 8 3/8 black Cardstock which was then mounted to a 3 ½ x 8 ½ top folding Accent Opaque 100 lb Cardstock.
