Gab about new stamps.

I was hoping to get some new stamps for Christmas...and I did! I got a bunch of new stamps from Hero Arts and Avery Elle. I had to make something right away, and here it is. 

Japanese dolls from Hero Arts and a distress ink background. 

I did the above by stamping the dolls, using a Molotow masking pen, I covered them and then inked the background and stamped the white flowers.  I then peeled off the masking and colored the dolls with Copics.   

Using Avery Elle stamps and a bunny stamp I already had, I made this. 

Way to go! 

Finally, I used my fuse tool to make holders for gift cards. 

Gift card idea!

I did some of the confetti on the inside using my confetti punch. Hopefully I'll have time to make even more stuff and use all of my new tools! Happy crafting!  

Inspiration is everywhere.

I love the new Coldplay album and Alabama Shakes' current alum. I've been listening to them both lot lately, and tonight I was inspired to make this drawing:

Simple black and white. 

I also changed up the letters and made some smaller ones:

A little variety. 

I colored one of them and I'm going to watercolor a few to see what I like best.

Fully colored

You never know where you might find inspiration, happy crafting! 

The Robot Shaker Card

Hi everyone! I promised a video about making that robot card and here it is! I used cardstock, markers, a stencil, Distress Ink, a robot stamp, some miniature gears, Ranger Glossy Accents, scrap acetate, foam tape, and a glue runner. Please let me know if you have any questions and feel free to leave a comment! Happy crafting.

A how to for you.

Moving Owl Cards

I made some cards today using these cute owls. One card is a moving card. 

I also made a watercolor and embossed card. 

Done with embossing powder, watercolor pencils, and distress ink. 

Finally, the last card I made was a sliding pop-up also featuring some owls.  

The outside... 

The inside. 

These were a ton of fun to make and not too difficult, let me know if you have questions, happy crafting!   

3 Easy Cards with Digistamps

So I have been doing my own artwork and using them as stamps and this weekend I had the time to really turn them into cards. I made three, one is a Congratulations Card, seen below.

Yaassss, you did it!

Then I used Misha to say Arigato.

A fun, elegant thank you.

And finally, the resident forest friend wishing someone a happy birthday.

Happy birthday from a little fox.

So these were very easy to put together, since I'd already colored the images after drawing them, I just printed them off and added some text and layers. These stamps are for sale in my spicyninja etsy shop if you'd like to make your own.  That's all for now, happy crafting.
