All is Calm...and Rainbow!

Hello! Heather Hoffman here this morning playing with some of the adorable holiday release - SOOO much cuteness to have create with! I had a blast using the darling All is Calm stamp set to create this fun and colorful card - I love mixing up and using fun and different color combinations for holiday cards, and I love how unexpected this color combo is!

I started off by heat embossing the image in white on white cardstock, then blended a rainbow of distress inks over the top to create an emboss resist, showing off the image underneath!

I heat embossed a sentiment from the set in white on black cardstock banner, then popped that up on foam adhesive on one side.

Finished off by matting the front panel with black cardstock, then mounted on a soft blue cardbase.

Thanks so much for stopping by today! Have a wonderful day!!!

Spooky and Sweet...

Happy Hello everyone... Annette Allen here with you today to share two fun card I created using the newly released Evelin T. Designs: Good Tidings To You, All Is Calm and All Hallows Cuteness.

Are you saying yes right now? The new release is full of cuteness. 

You can see all the new release HERE.

The first card I created I used Evelin T. Designs: Good Tidings To You, All Is Calm. 

I colored these sweet images using Copic Sketch markers. At first I was going for an inside themed card and then I remembered this cute snowman and well that changed it all for me. I went with an outside scene and this cute snowman peeking up behind just makes me smile. 

I used a die cut for the background. I wanted a snowfall look and polka dots totally worked for me. I used foam adhesives to give my colored images some dimension. I also added a little white gel pen polka dots and strips here and there. 

Next up I created this card using Evelin T. Designs: All Hallows Cuteness. I mean come on I am so in love with this set. Totally fun to color.

I used an embossing die for the background and added some Ranger Oxide ink for a bold fun background. I splashed some Copic opaque, water and black soot oxide ink on the background. The images are all colored with Copic Sketch markers and I adhered them to the card using foam adhesive. 

That is all for today.

I hope you enjoyed both cards today. I love this time of year when I get to make Christmas and Halloween cards. Make sure to shop the new release HERE.

Have a great day! 

All Hallow's Cuteness

Happy Monday! I'm so excited to be posting on the Evelin T Designs blog with a card featuring the new stamp set All Hallow's Cuteness. These Halloween illustrations are as cute as can be! I used the bird, bear, bunny and cat who are all ready for trick or treating in their costumes. It's so easy to create scenes with these cuties.

I stamped all of the images and coloured them using Copic markers. Then I stamped the images again on masking paper and covered the coloured images so I could sponge the background with distress inks.

After all of the colouring and ink blending was done, I used shimmer mist to splatter the panel. It adds a feeling of 'magic' to the scene, as if the bear fairy and cat witch are casting a spell on the bunny. The shimmer is hard to capture on camera but is so pretty in person.

SEPTEMBER 2019 RELEASE BLOG HOP

Hallo Everyone! Happy Monday to you and welcome to our September Release Blog Hop! I am so excited to share our NEW RELEASE with you and all the inspirations created by our Designers.

We have six new stamp sets in this Release and I can't wait for you to HOP along to see what the Designers have created but first, here's a look at the new release and what I have created with them

First up, we have All Hallow's Cuteness

It features, *you guessed it!* cute little critters in Halloween costumes and it was easy to create this interactive card with the witchy kitty and its birdie friend.

I watercolored the background to create a night sky and added splashes of white gouache for stars. Then, I used colored pencils to add depth and highlights to the images I painted as well and fussy-cut them all to assemble this card.

Next up, we have It's Boo-tastic!

It's Boo-tastic! coordinates superbly with All Hallows Cuteness and between the two sets, you will be able to create a multitude of scenes!

For this card, I just eyeballed and freehand cut the hills that the pumpkins and kitty Dracula is standing on. Since one of my favorite medium is watercoloring, you can see that I once again painted and then used colored pencils to add dimension. I like how colored pencils add 'live' to the painted images. I fussy cut the pumpkins, little ghostie and bats and adhered them with dotliners and foam tape.

Then we are moving on to our Christmas stamps. All is Calm features a large stamp with matching sentiments.

I had a fun time coloring this image with the no-line coloring technique. I stamped the image with a light colored ink (I used Papertrey Ink's Harvest Gold this time) and watercolored the image before adding colored pencils to create this effect. I also used a brown pen to dot the eyes and drew the little mouth on the bear hiding behind the tree and mountain of presents!

Fun in the Snow features penguins and bears having fun skiing.

I decided to create an interactive card with the images from this set as well. Because I have not invested in interactive dies yet (my bad!), I had to handcut all the elements to put this card together. It was not the easiest thing to do, but it's do-able and thankfully, I was only making one card! I love how the penguin and the bear moves in opposite direction... they are so fun to slide around

Warm Winter Wishes is another fun set to illustrate and I can imagine a lot of fun card with this set too but let me just share one and let my Designers wow you with theirs when you HOP along.

For this CAS card, I watercolored the background and used colored pencils to draw the trees. Then I just painted and highlighted the images using colored pencils. No fussy-cutting with this card. Just a lot of fun painting and that's it!

And our last stamp set for this release is Good Tidings to You.

Another super fun card to make! I used distress inks to create a soft background and stamped the snowflakes onto it with a silver ink pad. Then I watercolored the stamped images and added colored pencils detailing again (do you see a pattern here? haha). Finally I added some shadows for the kitty and its mice friends with some grey colored pencil.

I hope that you are liking the Release so far and I can't wait for you to Hop along for more inspiration and a chance to win prizes! Be prepared to be W-O-W-ed by what our Designers have created and comment along for your chance to win.

September Release | Sneak Peek #3

Day 3 and starting today, we are sneaking Christmas themed sets! I love Christmas! It's a season of so much fun and joy and I am grateful to be surrounded by loved ones and just enjoying each other's company.

This set is called All is Calm and it's a large single sheet stamp (like our Sneaky Kitties) with handwritten and typed sentiments. It is really fun to color and oh, so therapeutic! I especially love that little bear trying to reach the star at the top of the tree. Ain't he cute?

I used the no-line coloring technique for this card and I love the soft effect it brings to this set. What do you think?

September Release | Sneak Peek #2

Today is Day 2 of Sneak Week and our feature stamp today is called It's Boo-tastic! More cute little critters in this sets and as mentioned yesterday, our Halloween sets coordinate with each other to create multiple scenes in which they can all interact with each other.

One of the things I keep in mind when designing is how our new sets can be used with our previous sets to create totally new and fun scenes which brings new life to the sets each time we have a new release!
