inspired

Hello!

Hope all is well!

On instagram I came across one of Kristina's cards that inspired me to create something similar but with markers. I will do a little photo tutorial on how I did this and post it on Saturday!

Bye for now!

snow much fun

Hello!

Hope all is well!

On pinterest I noticed the talented Laura's card and immediately  wanted to recreate it using my  Warm Wishes stamp set (thanks Laura for the inspiration).

So for this card I cut out my card base and then I trimmed down (so that it's a bit smaller than my base) white cardstock and used my circle die to cut out my window. I cut blue cardstock to fit under this 'window'.  I haven't used my SRM stickers in a while so I found this cute sentiment.

I cut two strips of velum to use as snow.

Adhere the velum and trim off the sides that are sticking out. Then adhere the window. onto the blue cardstock.

Adhere the 'window' to the card base, add the sentiment and snowman (which I coloured with my Graph'it markers).

Now while this is cute I thought the snowman would be happier with company so I added the bird and the present (which is from my Mr. & Mrs. Claus stamp set).

I had this stamped image already coloured from a couple of days ago and decided to use my scraps from the card above to create a mini tall card...if you will! ;)

I used my Warm Wishes and Mr. & Mrs. Clause stamp sets.

Have a great day!

Christmas sneak peek

Hello!

Many of you enjoy seeing my creative process so I thought I'd share this little sneak peek on some new JD stamps I'm working on. As a stamp designer you literally have to live in the future...what do I mean?? I have to think months down the road when doing my designs when it comes to the holiday like Christmas. In the past I started drawing in October for Christmas which didn't work out for several reasons....all the time needed to manufacture the stamps and send them to the DT. Also people want to order their stamps a head of time so that they have enough time to create their cards so I was never on time. That's why I have Christmas on my brain! :)

Like every design of mine it all starts with a piece of paper and a pencil. I roughly sketch it out and if I'm happy with it I'll do another sketch (more polished) so that I can colour it to get the feel of how it would look on a card etc. Then if there's any minor adjustments I make them and draw the final draft which I scan.

I used my Graph'it makers to colour.

Just a little reminder...my Christmas stamps are on sale! :)

Well, that's it for this sneak peek!

Have a great day!
