Heffy Doodle & Miss Ink Collaberation

Hello crafty friends. Today we are celebrating a fun collaboration between two of my favorite brands. Welcome to the Heffy Doodle and Miss Ink Stamps Collaboration Blog Hop! Design team members from both teams are sharing some crafty inspiration using products from both companies! Plus, both stores will be giving away prizes! 

I made a Candy Cane forest, complete with coffee sipping Gnomes, who look comfy cozy in their Christmas pajamas. I love how the bright bold colors look on top of the glittery snowy hillside. I began by choosing some patterned paper to pull my colors from. Then, I inkblended the mint and aqua sky in the upper half of a Bristol paper panel. I splattered with water and perfect pearls before using some gold glitter embossing paste with the Twinkle Twinkle Stencil from Heffy Doodle. 

While that dried, I stamped my gnomes from Miss Ink Stamps Coffee Gnomes, and the candy canes and trees from Heffy Doodles Elfish, Wanna Build a Snowman, and Santa’s Village. I used copic markers to color all of my images, and highlighted with small white dots after diecutting. Next, I trimmed two glittery cardstock hillsides using Slopey Joes  stitched dies from Heffy Doodle. I adhered the two layers together, then mounted them over the embossed background panel using foam tape. I tucked my trees and candy canes around the top leaving space for my Gnomes in the center. I heat embossed the sentiment from Miss Ink Stamps Season’s Greetings onto a red cardstock banner, then glued it at the bottom. I mounted this scene onto a small green layer before securing it to the patterned paper and cardbase. 

I really love how well these two brands blended and hope that you think outside of the box, and blend your crafty supplies at home. It is something I don’t do often enough but I think it’s well past time for me to get mixing! 

Make sure to comment along the way for your chance to win! Miss Ink Stamps will be giving away $25 and Heffy Doodle will be giving away £25 to their respective stores!

Each company will post their random winner on Sunday, December 20th at 10AM EST!  Make sure to check the Heffy Doodle Blog and Miss Ink Stamps Blog to see if you’re a winner!

November BRI Moodboard Color Challenge

 

 Hello Crafty Friends. Davina here with a little BRI Moodboard inspired card today. The November colors  Amanda chose are very easy to play with. Harvest Yellow, Clay Pink, BlackBerry, and Rich Teal make up the quartet of color this month.  

The project I’m sharing today is using a few sets from Paperie Ink. I’m very new to this brand and purchased a few seasonal sets last month. I didn’t have a chance to use them sooner, but I’m so loving how cute these characters are. I combined the stamp sets  Autumn is Calling and Happy Holi-yay, along with Lawn Fawns Meadow Backdrop Die. I stamped all of my images with Momento Rich Cocoa ink and copic colored everything using light and dark shades of this months colors. 

Since there are no coordinating dies for these stamp sets, I had to use the scan n cut. Which worked fine considering I’m never going to fussy cut this many images. I recommend always cutting out before you color you images. The Scan n cut is notorious for mis-reading an image, and therefore not cutting out properly. As for images like the trees, that have small gaps in the outline, use a pencil to fill in the space for a solid cut. It will read the pencil, along with the ink, and cut out the image cleanly. 

Once my images were cut and colored I cut the Meadow Backdrop from some yellow Cardstock and inked the grassy edges with Scattered Straw & Dried Marigold Distress Oxide Inks. Next, I inkblended a pink and purple sky using several colors of Oxide Ink onto white Bristol Smooth Cardstock, then splattered with water, and white and gold ink. Once dry I heat embossed my sentiment onto the sky using Lawn Fawn Gold Embossing Powder. 

I assembled my card by glueing the Meadow frame onto my inkblended panel, then adhering the trees and sunflowers behind the grassy layers. I popped my border image up with some narrow foam tape, and added the remainder of my images. I brushed some glittery Clear Wink of Stella onto my lights and pumpkins for a little “razzle dazzle”. I’m so happy with how cute these images are and already ordered a few more sets to build my collection of Paperie Ink stamps. 

I hope you like this card and take the time to use the November #BRIMoodboard this month.

Pumpkin Patch with Lawn Fawn and Reverse Confetti

 Hello friends! Davina here, on the blog, with an exciting interactive card to share. My project is another fun example of the beautiful September Moodboard and a mashup between Lawn Fawn & Reverse Confetti products.  

I really love the way these beautiful colors come together. I’ve used them several times this month, in both soft and bold versions, and with stunning results each time. I wanted to use glittery gold cardstock for this camera die and love that I found a curry cardstock, is my stash, that was very similar in tone to pair up with it. 

As usual, all of the products used are available on the Butterfly Reflections Ink website. And I will provide links through this post for all of the products.  

I started by building my camera using the newer Lawn Fawn Magic Iris Camera Die Add On and the Camera Pull Tab Add On dies. I cut the camera 3 times from curry cardstock, glitter gold cardstock, and a Blush striped patterned paper in my stash, trimming off just the stitched strip. I used the circular lens die from the pull tab set to cut the glittery gold, blush pink, and adhesive backed fun foam. 

Next, I assembled the camera. I used LF Glue Tube to glue the gold paper to the curry cardstock.  Then I adhered the blush strip to the front after inkblending a little Tattered Rose Distress Oxide Ink to the edges. I insert the blush cardstock circle into the center of the camera lens and secured with Scotch tape from behind. I sandwiched an acetate circle between the foam stitched lens circle, and the gold circle to create a mini shaker element. Before adding the shaker components to the card, I used the short slot die on the top of the camera for the photo to pull out of. 

Then, I added some small flat sequins onto the pink circle before topping off with the foam circle, completing the small shaker element. I added a few other details to the camera face, like the push tab, and the flash with more liquid glue. 

Now for some coloring! I stamped my super cute images from the new Reverse Confetti set Pick of the Patch set using LF Crunchy Leaf brown ink, and copic colored in shades from the Moodboard. I die cut the images using the coordinating die set, and added small highlights to the images. For the Polaroid, I die cut the frame and tabs, then cut a smaller piece of cardstock that I masked and stamped a single layer scene onto. After coloring, I attached the frame over the top and assembled the pull tab as shown in the LF instructional video for the new camera pull tab. 

I mounted the interactive camera onto my blue and yellow card panel, then adhered my images all over to create the pumpkin patch. I really love how this turned out, and I’ve been playing with it non stop. The brown ink really works well with this color board. There’s still a couple weeks for you to use this color board and link your card into the color challenge on my blog, for your chance to win a $20 gift certificate to the Butterfly Reflections Ink shop. 

Thank you for stopping by,

September BRI color Challenge

 Hello Inky friends. I hope you are doing well. I’m using the beautiful Sept Moodboard today. This blush, terra cotta, navy, and gold color board is so incredible and versatile. The colors are so trendy currently, and I truly believe that any stamp set will look wonderful with them. 

This large, 5x7 interactive card, uses mostly Avery Elle stamps, along with a Lawn Fawn Scripty die. I have recently hoarded most of the Peek-a-boo Pals stamp sets from Avery Elle, but haven’t used them yet,  so I decided to get busy. After deliberating between a Bumper car slider slimline, rollercoaster, or Ferris wheel I decided on the Ferris wheel. But I wanted a fully rotating one.  I’m so happy with the results,  but it took a lot of trial and error.

Let’s get started. First, because the Ferris wheel from Peek a Boo Fair  is only a partial image, I had to hand draw the wheel on my card. I stamped the Ferris wheel onto some copy paper, rotated the image and stamped it again. Then, I used those stamped images as a guide to draw the inner portion, with a metal ruler and multi liner. I cut the drawn image out with a nested circle die, and inked it with the blush hues Tattered Rose Distress Oxide Ink. I painted the outer rim with gold acrylic paint. 

Next, I stamped the image again, onto bright solar white Neenah Cardstock for my ride compartments (baskets). I used additional images/characters from Peek a Boo Coaster for my other cuties. I also stamped a word bubble from the Speech Bubbles set and heat embossed Woo Hoo! onto it. I used copic markers to color everything before using the coordinating dies to cut everything out. 

I assembled each basket with a character, and reinforced the bottom basket from behind with a second piece of die cut paper. No need to stamp, just the added reinforcement.  After highlighting with small white dots, it was time to create my individual swinging elements. If you just glue them down, they would remain in place (and upside down) when rotating the wheel.

1. I punched 3 office sized holes into the edge of the wheel.  

2. I glued down a small metal washer, to the center and bottom of each basket, to add a little extra weight so they would remain upright without my help.

3. I attached a small plastic sliding disc (MFT Spin & Slide) to the back of each image. Centered in the neck area.

4. Put the disc through the punched hole, and cap off with a small piece of circle punched cardstock

(Larger than hole punch) to hold in place.

5. Check to make sure everything wiggles properly before moving on. 

Next, I created the same type of inner mechanism as the Lawn Lawn reveal wheel.

6. I die cut a 2 1/2 inch circle, and poked a tiny hole into the center. 

7. I poked a tiny hole into the center of the Ferris wheel.

8. I used a brad, with the finished side facing forward, to connect both pieces. I did not open it completely flat against the paper because I wanted it to spin freely. I put the edge of my metal ruler under the brad fasteners to give it plenty of space.

9. Apply multiple foam squares to the backside of that smaller circle. That is how the entire thing will adhere to the card front. 

Even at this point, it was so fun to spin and play with. There is no imagination needed to see how it would work on a card. It turned out perfectly.  

I created some layers of gold, blush pink, and Bristol smooth cardstock to fit onto my Kraft cardbase. I used the old ink smooshing technique and the Tattered Rose Distress Ink (not oxide ink) to color the Bristol cardstock. Then, I splattered with white and gold ink. I die cut the word Smile, using  Lawn Fawns Scripty Smile word die, and inked it with Chipped Sapphire Distress Oxide Ink to match the coloring. 

Finally, I adhered my wheel to card base and surrounded it with die cut stars and the speech bubble. I adore how this looks on the Kraft cardbase and cannot stop playing with it. I even made a stop motion clip and I’m so proud. I hope you love this and try to make one for yourself .

August Color Challenge

 

Hello my colorful friends! Davina here, using the August BRIMoodboard, and Avery Elle stamps. I really love the jewel tone colors of the current Moodboard and I wanted to let them shine. I have been hoarding so many adorable Avery Elle stamp sets that I haven’t had the chance to use, so I decided to go ahead and dig in. The Fairy Happy  Stamp set was perfect for this gorgeous color palette. 

I started by cutting a piece of white cardstock using some Lawn Fawn Cross-Stitch layers. Then I stamped a navy starry sky using the Avery Elle Starry Scene and Faded Jeans Distress Oxide ink. Once I stamped it several times and achieved even coverage, I splattered some glittery and white ink onto the stamped image. 

Next, I stamped my images onto Neenah solar white classic crest, then colored them with copic markers in shades of the Moodboard colors. I tried to get a lot of variation using only the four color families, and only added skin and hair tones. After die cutting the images I mounted the 3 main images onto fun foam for extra dimension. Then I used small white dots for highlights. 

I stamped the sentiment across the bottom and added some of the sparkle images in light aqua ink. Then I adhered my stamped images on top of the starry sky to create a simple scene. I rarely leave my backgrounds white like this, and I love how great it looks layered over the purple striped paper.

These colors look so incredible together and I can’t wait to try them on everything I make this month! I hope that you are inspired to use this color board and use the #brimoodboard so we can find your project.

Heffy Doodle New Release Blog Hop

Hi and welcome to the Heffy Doodle Release Blog Hop! The new release is now available for purchase from Heffy Doodle and official retailers, and we are celebrating with lots of inspiration and a giveaway too! 

Don’t forget that you can still get the exclusive Lil Lighthouse stamp set and die with qualifying purchase on the Heffy Doodle website while supplies last. 

The card I’m sharing today is a wonderful large shadow box using the new dies set called Big Shadow Box, this die is extra amazing because it allows you to make a good large shadow box with plenty of space for fun, yet still fit into a standard A2 envelope. I’ve been making these sized boxes for a couple of years, and it is so nice to have a die set that does all of the hard work for you. 

I also used the new Who Let the Dogs Out stamps and dies, to fill in all these great layers. I had some really cute double sided paper that had a pretty floral on the front and some aqua clouds on the back. I felt this would be perfect for my box so that the interior would be lovely and ready to decorate. I cut 3 tabbed layers from lime green cardstock using the included die, and trimmed the tops with the Grassy Lass Border Dies to create a rolling lawn.  After gently inking the tops with Mowed Lawn distress oxide inks, I  secured double stick tape on the tabs of each piece but did not remove the release paper at this time. 

I stamped all of the cute puppies from the stamp set Copic colored with markers that matched my pattern paper. Next, I used the coordinating dies to cut each image before highlighting with small white dots. Then, I decorated each little lawn piece making sure that when in place, everything would be visible. 

I laid the two box panels in front of me with the outside-facing down, and adhered them together on one side only (the center most box tab). With it open still outside-facing down, I glued the tallest lawn piece (with tabs removed), fence and dog house to the back panel. And in staggering heights, I adhered the remaining two layers about 1/2 inch apart to the left side using the double stick tape. Once in place, I removed the remaining release paper and folded the right side over, to achieve perfect placement of the tabs onto the right side of the box. Then I completed the box assemble by adhering the remaining box tab to the right side. 

I stamped a “Happy Birthday” banner from the new Bold Banners Sentiments  using Picked Raspberry Distress Oxide ink, and attached it over the top after die cutting. I placed my final tiny puppy on the front, next to the gift wrapped bone, and finished this up by decorating the back panel with the included scallop & stitched dies and sentiment. 

I hope you like this shadow box, and now for the fun stuff! 

To celebrate the new release Heffy Doodle will be giving away a £50 voucher to the Heffy Doodle store! Make sure to comment on each stop of the hop to be entered for your chance to win. The winner will be selected randomly and be announced on Saturday , July 25th on the Heffy doodle Blog.

Submarine shaker card with Trinity Stamps

Hello crafty friends! Today I have a little under the sea, submarine shaker card to share with you. I used all Trinity Stamps products to create this slimline shaker and the results were so much fun. 

I used the Scallop Card Panels to cut two large pieces from bright white cardstock. I also used the Large Stitched Frame from the Slimline Frame and Fold Die set to cut out the inner & upper portion of one panel. This will be where all the shaker action will take place. On my second panel I cut a hill that will cover the very bottom of the window, and then I cut a second hill from the remaining paper for a layered sandy hill. I gently inked the hills using Antique Linen and Brushed Corduroy distress oxide inks, leaving plenty of white showing. After splattering with brown ink, white ink, and glittery perfect pearls I put aside to dry. I cut a piece of cardstock to fit under the scallop frame without showing, and inked the upper area with Speckled Egg Distress Oxide ink, also leaving plenty of white, and splattered with white ink and perfect pearls. 

I colored a couple of submarine images during the week, so I wanted to use the sub in the watery shaker area, and I stamped and colored a mermaid and plenty of coral from the sets Mermaid Wishes And Ocean Reef Builder. I colored these up and added some glittery wink of Stella to some of the images after diecutting using the coordinating dies.  

I used liquid glue to layer all of the scallop layers together, and stamped my sentiment at the bottom. I heat embossed the smaller words, but stamped with colored ink and die cut the Happy Birthday from the Ocean Reef Builder set. I used a variety of adhesives to attach my images before creating the shaker.

I cut a bright white panel to 3.5x8.5 And glued my smaller inkblended panel in the center. I liberally applied powder with my powder tool to the blue inked portion, and added a heaping tablespoon of sequins mix. On the back of my scallop frame, I adhered an acetate sheet with score tape, then framed out the window with trimmed Tombow foam tape. It is thicker than Scotch brand, so I had no need to double it up. I framed the rest of the card panel with foam tape and applied it over my blue panel and sequins. Then I mounted it all onto my cardbase. Finally, I finished up this card by applying a variety of sequins that are included in the mix I used inside the shaker. I think the little starfish are my favorite. This was one of my favorite shakers that I have made, I think the Tombow tape really made a difference in easels thickness for the sequins and application.

July Color Challenge

Hello crafty friends. Today I’m sharing a card I made using the new Heffy Doodle release and the July Mood Board. 

                                        

I love using color boards to inspire my color choices for projects and I love the challenge it provides my imagination for creating scenes. When I saw this Fiery color board I instantly started brain storming possible scenes to make. 

My mind saw candies and so much more. But, I decided on a pile of crabs, like a sort of flash mob birthday party. The new Heffy Doodle release has great party accessories in the new A Little Shellfish Stamp set, I couldn’t resist adding gifts, party hats, and a pinwheel to my party crowd. 

I stamped and colored so many little crabs using these colors, and added them to the new slimline new pulltab so they could surprise you from behind the sand bar. I really love the results and hope that you head over to the Butterfly Reflections Ink Blog And see all the details on how I created this card. 

If you are feeling inspired to play along and use the Moodboard please make sure to use the #brimoodboard and link you card into my blog using the InLinkz button for your chance to win a $20 gift certificate to the shop! The link will be open until the end of the month on July 31st TIL 11:59 pm. We will use a random number Generator to select a winner from the eligible entries using the current colors from this months Mood Board. All brands the are carried by Butterfly Reflections Ink are welcome.

Oh Gnome #brimoodboard color challenge

Hello crafty friends. Davina here on the blog, with some color board inspiration for you today. I made a Slimline scene bursting full of Lawn Fawn goodness, that I hope you love. The June BRIMoodboard is a very zen/spa like color combination of wood grain, both bright and bold greens, and a lavender. At first one would think these colors difficult to use, but since green and purple are complimentary colors on the color wheel, they always look fabulous together. 

I pulled out about 7 different Lawn Fawn sets to create this bursting meadow scene, and the new Lawn Fawn Slimline dies both the Large And Small sets. I had a much different idea for this project when I first sat down. And about 5 hours later I had something very different than when I thought I was going to make. While flipping through my sets looking for images I wanted to use, I pulled out Oh Gnome, Gleeful Gardens, Frosty Fairy Friends, Fairy Friends, Jump for Joy, Butterfly Kisses, and A Bug Deal. I stamped about 30 images onto my Neenah classic crest cardstock using my stamp platform. I used the coordinating dies to cut out all of the images before coloring. That way I could create a scene like a puzzle, and only color the images I was going to use. 

I used the largest slimline die to cut a piece of Lawn Fawn Kraft Cardstock that I stamped some wood grain onto using Lawn Fawn Crunchy Leaf Brown ink. Then Using the next largest die, I cut a piece of Bristol Smooth Cardstock that I inkblended with Shaded Lilac & Dusty Concord. I splattered the panel with purple ink, white ink, and glittery perfect pearls. I cut some remnants of green cardstock with the same sized die and added a grassy border to each using the Lawn Fawn Grassy Hillside Borders To create a rolling hillside. I inked the edges of the grass using Mowed Lawn & Lucky Clover. 

Then I colored all of my images using my copic markers in color combinations that matched the mood board. I really enjoyed using all of the different shades of wood brown, green, and lavender on these images.then, using a variety of adhesives, I mounted all of the images onto the scene. I decided the little gnomes and the hummingbird needed a little bit of a boost, so I popped them up onto die cut fun foam. I really love the dimension it gives. I glued my layers together then added a little Lawn Fawn Chunky Glitter To the roof of the house do the center of my card can have a little Razzle Dazzle. 

I really love how this turned out and I hope you do too. If you are feeling inspired to use the Moodboard please make sure to use the #brimoodboard and link you card into my blog using the InLinkz button for your chance to win a $20 gift certificate to the shop! The link will be open until the end of the month on June 30th TIL 11:59 pm.

Reverse Confetti 7th Birthday Hop

Hello Fetti Friends! Today we are hopping along to celebrate the the 7th Birthday Release for Reverse Confetti. It is a little delayed due to the pandemic... but we’re still having a party and a great release. I feel blessed to be participating in this Hop as a Fetti a Friend, and hope you love what I’ve created.

I’ve got two fun cards to share with you today using some of the amazing new products. First up is this “Woof!” Just fur you card that I created using the new Corgi Cuties stamps and dies. The size of the little puppies is perfect, with plenty of space for texture and shading. There are few little accessories in the set of of corse I had to include them. I inkblended a simple light blue background to match the patterned paper background from an older paper pad I’ve had called Fright Night. Then I splattered with white ink and glittery perfect pearls. I added an additional paper layer, for a pop of color, and nestled my corgi cuties under the sky and heat embossed sentiment. The bubble clouds are from the Over the Rainbow die set. 

Once I adhered all of my layers onto the cardbase using scor tape, I added a few sparkling clear sequins to finish it off. 

The second card I made uses the fun freebie set that is included with qualifying orders. It is called friendly rainbows and has a lot of punch for a little set! The main large image had Hello Friend across the arch. Or you can stamp the bold sentiment without the rainbow. It also has a two different types of clouds and a couple of sentiments. 

I cut some soft yellow textured cardstock out with the Snowball Cover Plate  for a fun bubble look. Then I gently inked the edges of the panel with a darker yellow so that it matched my colored rainbow. I adhered my colored images onto a pastel inked background and popped it up on foam tape so the cute bubble texture was visible underneath. I also think it’s the perfect size to put atop a tall slimline card too! 

I hope you enjoyed these projects and that you follow along the entire hop to see all of the amazing inspiration that the team and the Fetti Friends have put together. Thanks for celebrating Reverse Confettis Birthday with us!
