Fall Fairy

 Hello my crafty friends!! Nicole here today to share a card with you.

I used the Kelsey - Believe stamp set and colored her to reflect a fall fairy.

I used several of the Stamp Anniething Hybrid Inks to create a background and will list them below. 

Here is a list of products I used -

Kelsey - Believe

Land of Oz Dies

dies from Conquer the World Grab and Go Box

Fall Leave Stencil

Hybrid Inks in clear skies, rosie cheeks, aspen gold, apple green and willow bought

I added a bit of sparkle to my card with some perfect pearls on my background and a shimmer pen on the wings of my fairy.  Thanks for stopping by today!!

Trying new things - Creative Colour Placement

Hi Friends 

Right now with everything going on and being unable to work, I decided to try something new. I recently showed a project I had done to Jennifer Dove who runs Copic Bootcamp. She loved what I had done but wanted to push me to go outside of my comfort zone. She wanted me to try creating my own face on one of Ann's images by using Creative Colour Placement. 

I wanted to do some no line colour with copics as well. First I masked off the face on the image (Holly -Cheer Up) and then stamped the image with Birch Stamp Anniething hybrid ink

This is what the original image looked like next to the image where I practiced Creative Colour Placement...Now I will admit that my partner is a little freaked out by this image and in a way I can see that but the purpose of this exercise is to try something new and step outside of that box I have been in for the last little while. Even though those who I have showed it to have had mixed reactions to this, I am still proud of it and proud of myself. I tried something new and as a result I have grown as a colourist. In these times when we are stuck in our homes and the world is feeling a little scary and small, now is the perfect time to expand your horizons and try something new...learn new things and have fun with it.

I hope you are all safe and well, and I encourage you to use this time to be extra creative...try something new.

Until Next Time - Stephen

Happy Easter!

Hello My Crafty Friends!  It's Candace from Candi O. Designs and it's my day to post over at Stamp Anniething. Since Easter is just around the corner, I wanted to make some Easter Treats.  I used Jemma - happy easter with the grass dies to put on one of the sides of the treat box.  For the second box, I used Dorothy - Have a Sweet Day, but I changed her from holding the watermelon to holding an egg.  I also used the Rabbit Ears die to make her into a Easter girl.  I used the tag die from Shaker Basics #2, inks and grass dies to make a scene tag to attach to treat box.  I think they turned out pretty cute!!

Holiday card in minutes

Hi Friends! 

With the holidays fast approaching, you may be like me and need some extra cards to give out to friends and family. I have a quick and easy card to share with you today that you can whip up in no time.

I my took colour inspiration from a scrap piece of patten paper I had laying around which I used for the background. I used the Holiday Tag - Winter Add On die which I Layered using Blue, Silver Glitter, and Red cardstocks.

I stamped out the word "happy" on a banner from the Banner Dies set.

To create my background, I spritzed some of the Stamp Anniething Hybrid inks from the Ink Replenishers that I mixed in a spritzer bottle onto some white cardstock. I then layered the Sashiko Abstract stencil on top and did some ink blended overtop using Stamp Anniething inks.

To finish off my card, I filled the shaker element with the Retro Squares adornments and the Snowflake Sprinkles adornments 

I hope you like my card creation for today!

Until next time - Stephen

Krissy - Fall Leaves

Hi Friends!

Stephen here and it's my day to post on the Stamp Anniething blog. I have a very autumnal card to share with you today.

I coloured up Krissy - Leaves with Copic markers then cut her out. I will list all the Copic colours I used below.

I created a quick and easy background by doing some simple ink blending using Tangerine, Freesia, and Willow Bought Stamp Anniething Hybrid inks with those amazing blender brushes. Next I used the Woodland die that came in the Conquer the World Grab and Go box and added some detail to the diecuts using Copics as well.

To frame my scene, I used the outline rectangle die from the Shaker Basics set #1 and added the Smile Diecut in the top lefthand corner.

To finish off my card, I used the Fall Leaves stencil with Birch Stamp Anniething Hybrid Inks on some grey cardstock.

Thanksgiving creations using Bountiful Blessings

Hi Friends!

Stephen here...You may have already heard but if you haven't, I designed my very first stamp set that is exclusive to Stamp Anniething. It's called, "Bountiful Blessings" and I can't thank Ann enough for encouraging me to do this as it was something I didn't think I could do.

It's Thanksgiving today here in Canada and I wanted to share a few projects I made using the stamp set.

First off, I created a beautiful thanksgiving card that I coloured up using Copic markers, cut it out and placed some gold thread behind it. The background was created using Freesia Hybrid Ink from Stamp Anniething and I sprinkled some water and Perfect Pearls mixture overtop to get the water drop effect. I diecut out the stitched rectangle shape using the Shaker Basics die set and then framed it using some teal card stock. I then used some plaid cardstock I had in my collection and stamped the sentiment on a banner diecut that I got from the Banner Die set.

Next I created a few place card settings for the dinning table using the Bountiful Blessings stamp set that were super quick and easy to make. 

I started by ink blending the edges of cardstock using a brown and black ink to get a vintage feel. Next I stamped the main image from the Bountiful Blessings stamp set using Pecan Hybrid Ink from Stamp Anniething and then spritzed some brown ink onto the image to continue that vintage feel I was going for. I then stamped out and gold heat embossed the sentiment onto those same Banner diecuts that I used on the card as well as the gold thread. lastly I wrote the individual's name on their card settings to finish them off.

I hope you enjoyed my creations today and I look forward to seeing what you create using the new Bountiful Blessings stamp set.

Until Next Time - Stephen

Ink Blending using the new Hybrid Inks from Stamp AnnieThing

Hi Friends!

Today I have a quick and simple card to share with you today.

As you may have heard, Stamp AnnieThing has released their own line of Hybrid Inks and I cannot begin to express how awesome they are. 

I coloured up one of the images from the Lemonade Stand theme set but decided to have colour her as if she was holding a glass of orange juice. 

I created the background by masking off a rectangle shape and then ink blending using the new Hybrid Inks in the colours Tangerine and Aspen Gold. After I finished the ink blending, I decided to use an embossing folder on the background to give it more texture and visual interest.

I hope you liked my card creation for today!

Until next time - Stephen 

You're Bee-utiful

Hi there!!  Nicole here with a fun fall themed card to share with you -

I went with a fall themed twist for my card today using the following to create my background -

Leaf Stencil

Tangerine, Freesia and Birch Hybrid Inks

The sweet image is Lorelei Bumble Bee and I stamped her with Obsidian Hybrid Ink and colored her with my Copics trying to stick to more of a fall theme with the colors I used.  The sentiment is from a Jaded Blossom stamp set and I again used Tangerine Hybrid Ink .  I am really enjoying these hybrid inks!!  They blend so easily - I did all of this on my Copic paper of choice which is Hammermill 110 lb cardstock. 

Thanks so much for stopping by today!!

Congratulations!

Hi all! It's Meg here today. Don't you just LOVE our new inks and background stamps release?! I think the new products are fabulous!

I especially love the background stamp patterns because to me they are kinda retro. And that is SO IN right now!

For my project, I colored up Eloise - Congratulations. I wanted to make this a wedding card, and the new Abstract Leaves stamps were a perfect background for this!

For my design, I first stamped the teardrop shape in the new Birch ink, then overlaid the leaves in Green Apple. 

After coloring up Eloise and attaching her to the card, I had the idea to put a vellum flag panel behind her with the "congratulations" sentiment.

I stamped the sentiment onto the vellum with the new Pecan ink. It is such a nice, rich, thick ink. So, I decided to heat emboss it, and it gave a larger raised surface than typical pigment ink or dye ink. 

 So, win-win!

Hop on over to the shop and check out the new products, you'll love 'em!
