YNS November release preview

I’ve been so fortune that I’ve been asked to take part in the Your Next Stamp November release as a quest designer! The stamps are super cute and I’m up for any excuse to make Christmas cards! For the release preview, I’ve made a card using the Holiday Ponies. There are 4 ponies, some sentiments and some smaller stamps all together. I’ve gone with classic Christmas colours for this.

I’ll be back tomorrow with another card for this super release as a part of the blog hop!

Here is a photo of the stamp set with my coloured up ponies as well.

Copics used: N0, N1, N3, R22, R24, R27, R89, YG01, YG13, G94, G99, E71, E74, E77, Y32, Y35, Y38

Space fun

I spent the weekend at Hobbykunst Norge colouring up various My Favorite Things Stamps. I got to meet some great people interested in both the colouring and the stamps and I got a few stamps coloured up to add to my already rather large pile of coloured images! One of the stamp sets I coloured up was the astronaut and space themed set. And between my colouring sessions on Saturday and Sunday I managed to make it into a card, too. I decided to go with the MFT sketch of the week so I could enter it into their challenge.

The paper is by Studio Light and the rhinestone stars are by Rayher. You can obviously find all the products at Hobbykunst.

Here is a photo of the card laying down flat as well, and a little more close up.

The way you move

Last weekend I popped by Hobbykunst, one of the card making shops near where I live. This stamp, from Stamping Bella, is one of the few things that came back home with me. I will be back there next week to hold a demonstration on how to colour with Copic Marker, primarily on My Favorite Things stamps.

Neste uke er jeg innom Hobbykunst på Karihaugen i Oslo for å ha demo med Copic Marker-fargelegging, både lørdag og søndag. Ta turen innom hvis du vil se hvordan jeg fargelegger i hovedsak My Favorite Things-stempler. Stemplet jeg har fargelagt til dette kortet finner du her.

Copics used: (skin) E000, E00, E02, E13, E15, R20, R22, (green) YG01, YG13, YG17, YG67, (pink) RV63, RV66, RV69, (hair) E08, E18, E19, E49, E97, (grey) N0, N3

YNS: Kyle the Koala

Today I’m here to show you the third and final project I’ve made a guest designer for Your Next Stamp. This time I’ve used Kyle the Koala. In addition I’ve used the Paint Swooshes and Splatters stamp set to make the background behind the koala. It was made using two different shades of Distress Oxide Ink. I was just playing around making the layout, and I really like how it turned out! In fact I’m already planning planning to do something similar as a baby card as I think that could work well. The dots in the corner as also by YNS.

Here you can see a close up of the background I made.

YNS: Happy Brrr-thday

It is time for another post as a guest designer for Your Next Stamp. As I wrote in my first post, I’m going to make all three projects in ways that are, at least in my opinion, rather typical for me. So this one is with a clean and simple style that includes smaller stamps, distress oxide ink and bright colours. I have in fact made two matching cards. The first one has a darker grey background.

The second card I made with this stamp set has a lighter coloured grey background and the distressed background goes vertically across the middle.

Copics used: N0, N1, N3, N5, N7, RV00, RV09, RV52, RV55, RV69, Y11, Y13, Y38, YR09, E41, E42, E43, E44
