Fall Porch

Good Morning,

My card today features DRS designs new fall stamps.

I started by stamping the new Floor image with Distress Ink on watercolor paper then I used a little water to spread the ink. Then I stamped the Brick Wall the same way. This was set aside to dry. I stamped the Pumpkins from the Fall Fence,    Cattail Milk Pail, and the Autumn Leaf Pile, Fall Leaf with Acorn. all of these were colored with Copic markers and fussy cut. I cut the new stamped  Goodbye Summer Hello Fall Greeting apart and stamped it with black ink and clear embossing powder black ink.

This is the inside.

Have a wonderful day,

Happy Easter one layer cards

Happy Easter

I have been enjoying making these almost one layer cards so much that I thought I would share a few more.

For my first one I used the Lily Sympathy Cross

On this one I stamped it with Memento Coco Ink and colored with Copic markers.

I inked the greeting in two parts so I could stamp it separate. This stamp is called Celebrate Easter Celebrate Christ.

On this card I used the Easter Lily and Crosses  and used Zig markers. The greeting is Blessed with Gifts Easter Greeting.

And I have one last card to share.

For this card I used the Daisy Basket and Zig markers with the Springtime Easter Greeting. I did a a strip of lace across the top to cover a mark on the paper.

These are fun easy cards to make even if they are simple.

Have a wonderful day,

Janett

Sneaky Bunny

Good Morning, can you believe that Easter is only a week away this year is moving so fast. 

Today I have a Easter card for you.

This little Sneaky Bunny Flower Pot is adorable I just love him. It was colored with Copic markers. The scalloped oval behind the image is vellum that I rub with Peony Pink Nuvo mousse.

The background paper was embossed in a embossing folder and I rubbed the pink Nuvo Mousse across the raised areas. The bottom was cut with a die and the scalloped layer is vellum with Pink Nuvo Mousse. I heat embossed the Happy Easter Everybunny with clear over black on vellum and the Pink N.M.

Have a wonderful day,

The Beauty of Springtime

Hi all,

What a week it has been, we have had some terrible storms this week one night the power went off at 9:00 and didn't come back on until the next afternoon. Today is beautiful with the sun shinning so I can see all the yard work that needs to be done I think spring is finally here.

My card this week is a Easter card that is very simple.

With this new set of stamps I found myself do this almost one layer stamping. I found that I really liked the look of stamping the Image and the Greeting on the same layer and it was super simple with the use of my Misty. 

For this card I stamped the Brushed Pussy Willow twice across the bottom of the panel and then stamping the new Springtime Easter Greeting in Memento Coco Ink I used Copic to color the image. This was layered onto a Lt. Pink die cut card then onto a cream card. I just loved the simple elegant look.

Have a wonderful day,

Janett

Over The Hill

Hi all, I hope you had a great week. Do you every wake up tired that is how I felt Saturday morning I tried everything to perk my self up then I just settled on a nap. Sometimes you just half to give in and rest. And that brings me to my card today. I felt like this a lot when my  children were little. 

I think this greeting is so funny It's called Over the Hill I stamped it with blue ink and used a cloud die to cut the image. The hill was cut free hand and I used the Easy Grass Background. I stamped the Tired Walking Woman colored her with Copic markers and fussy cut. These stamps make a funny card.

Have a great day,

Janett

This and That

Hi everyone, I know I have not been posting very much these days but life has taken a hard turn and I had to put my priorities in order. We were doing some much needed remolding on the house in the middle of all that I had to put my Daddy on Hospice. So now everyday is a new challenge. Some days I stamp  some I don't but lots of the time there is know time to take photos or do blog post . So today I wanted to catch up on some post of things that I have had for awhile.

First up

A few months ago I got one of those Copic sketchbooks. I have not done a lot but I do enjoy working in it, I am using it to keep up with Copic color combinations.

One thing I have learned is to place a piece of scrap paper behind the page that I am coloring because it will bleed through to the next page as you can see on the page with the strawberries.

In the past when I have posted card I have said that I colored ribbon with Copic markers and I though I would try and show you how I did this.

This is what I use Seam binding, 97% Alcohol I a spray bottle You can use colorless bender but the alcohol is a lot cheaper and you can get it at Walmart.

I use the chisel tip to color the ribbon.

 If you want the shabby look spray with alcohol and scrunch. You can use a baggie or gloves for this part to keep the ink off your hands. The Alcohol is also good for removing the ink from you hands and to clean up.

I hope you can use some of these tips.

Have a wonderful day,

Janett

Cowboy Love

Janett Ray
Janett's Stamping Place

Hi everyone, we have been having some cold days this week and I have been wanting to make a winter card this is what I came up with.

 I started by stamping the Cowboy Snowman, and coloring with Copic markers.

I wanted it to have a Valentine feel and I don't have a heart die so I cut one with a X-acto Knife. Then I went around the edge with a clear Embossing pen  and added some white embossing powder. I wanted it to look rustic not to smooth.After hearing the powder I ran it through a snow embossing folder. The I stamped the 

                  I Melt For You Greeting   

with Peacock Distress Ink, and added a snowflake button.

All the stamp are DRS designs.

And here are the colors that I used.

If you like what you see or have any questions please leave a comment.

Have a wonderful day,

Janett
