sugar skulls

Hi!

How are ya'll?!!

Remember these...Dia de los Muerto...sugar skulls...I had soooo much fun making them!! I decided to use them as tags for treat bags for my son's teachers in day care. We don't celebrate Halloween here in Croatia but tomorrow is Svi sveti (all saints day) or Dan mrtvi (Day of the dead)...it's a holiday...and similar to Dia de los Muerto we visit our family members/friends who have passed away at their graves and light candles and bring flowers.

I filled these white paper bags (which I stamped using the chevron pattern from our Patterns for Him stamp set) with yummy caramels...sorry about the photo...I took it in the morning and the lighting was bad.

So some of us (who were able to get Friday off) have a long weekend! yay!! Lots to do...visiting with family, painting my daughters room...PINK thank you very much....top secret Jane's Doodles stuff! :)

Have a great day!

random

Hello!

Poppin in to share some randomness...like these juicy grapes I like to steal from my neighbours!! :) (no worries...they know I'm the grape theif!). They are as juicy as they look!

My sunflowers...

I've teamed up with some nuns to raise money for the poor and one way to do that is the crafty way....this past sunday I made treat bags with these tags attached (and a beautiful prayer by Mother Teresa) and I'm happy to say all was sold!

Now this tag is a blast from the past because I'm a little short with time but I just wanted to share this again because this xmas tree digital stamp is now available at the Jane's Doodles shop (where we sell clear stamps and digital stamps)....if you'd like a chance to win this digital stamp pop on over to the Jane's Doodles blog! :)

Have a great day!

happy halloween

Hello!

I'm sick...yesterday was bad...but I feel a bit better today....so real quick I want to share this card I created using another digital stamp available now at our shop. Some of you already know Bosko the cat...he's all ready for Halloween with his witch hat! :)

I used Graph'it markers (0000, 3245, 3270, 8280, 1250, 2120, 9909, 9504, 9500) and for the sentiment I used a SRM sticker.

If you'd like to win this digital stamp pop on over to the Jane's Doodles blog and leave a comment there.....I also announced the winner of our Penguin digital stamp.

Have a great day!

penguin

Hello!

What's your creative process when making cards....for me most of the time I like to colour my 'image' and that's where my inspiration for the card comes from...for example I think with this penguin I want to use kraft cardstock because of the brown hat and scarf and then one thing leads to another....to be honest I really never have a plan but I do almost start off by colouring my stamped image. :)

This penguin is a digital stamp and is now for sale at my shop. Pop on over to the Jane's Doodles blog for a chance to win this digital stamp

Oh and I used Graph'it markers (0000, 3270, 3245, 9909, 9500, 9504).

Have a great day!

welcome baby

Hello!

Poppin in to share this card I created a while back...sorry about the bad photo but I already gave this card away so I can't take another photo of it...anyways...I used Garden Friends stamp set and the sentiment is from Noah's Ark.

Remember Mariana's video a while back about using the back side of your stamp (if you haven't seen that video click here and watch it!) well that's what I did for this card...I first inked up the back side of the frog stamp, stamped it onto the white cardstock and then inked up the 'right' side of the stamp with Memento black ink and stamped over the solid frog. I then coloured in the spots with markers and added glossy accents...I think it turned out cute and simple! :)

Have a great day!

Let it Snow!

Hi!

Happy Monday to ya'll!

I want to share this Christmas card (which I will be entering into the Moxie Fab World: WCMD week: Make a Christmas card) I created using our Vintage Christmas, It's the Season and Patterns for Him stamp sets.

I did a little masking...I cut out an oval shape out of thin paper (with my Spellbinders oval), adhered it to my card and stamped the chevron pattern (from our Patterns for Him) over it (and removed the oval paper). I stamped the snowman (from our Vintage Christmas stamp set) onto my card and on seperate cardstock which I then coloured, cut out and adhered on top of the stamped snowman. I coloured the snowman with Graph'it markers (0000, 8240, 8280, 3245, 2160, 5220, 4150). The sentiment is from our It's the Season stamp set.

Hope you have a great day!

Hello!

Hope you are all well! :)

I LOVE using brown paper bags for packaging...they are so easy to dress up! I stamped the paper bag with the chevron pattern from our Patterns For Him stamp set. For the tag I used our Autumn Blessings stamp set. I coloured my images with Graph'it Markers (a French brand, twin tip alcohol based markers)....I'm LOVING these markers!!! Excellent quality!!

(Graph'it Markers - 0000, 1150, 1250, 2120, 3270, 3245, 8220, 8240, 8280)

Fill this bag up with some chocolates, cookies or other goodies...I mean who wouldn't love to receive this goody bag! :)

For the background I did a little splash of colour with water colours...I used ribbon to create her veil and her dress I embossed and added white glitter...simple and elegant! :)
