I started out by die cutting the characters from some blending cardstock. I then used my Copic markers to…

I’m on the Heffy Doodle blog again today, sharing this ocean-themed scene card featuring the You Go, Gul and Lil Lighthouse stamp (the freebie with the last release) sets. Shock, horror! I actually used a medium other than my Copic markers today – my Zig Clean Color Real Brush watercolour markers. I’ve not used them in a long, long time…

I’m back on the Heffy Doodle blog today with St Paddy’s day themed scene card featuring the Lucky Friends stamp set! Now I don’t usually send this type of card, so I changed up the sentiment to make it a general ‘Cheers and Good Luck’ type of card. Also, it’s really useful to use some of your existing dies to…

I’m back with another installment of my Scene Colouring series on the Heffy Doodle blog today. I’ve been seeing lots of masked scene cards where there is a slit of background taking up a portion of the card panel and some added foreground elements.

I’m back on the Heffy Doodle blog today continuing my theme of the last couple of cards: simple scenes. Not got time to go all out with the background? Just take a couple of elements from a set and create a simple scene, adding a central focal image popped up with foam tape for a little dimension. I’m using the…

Cardmaking, Thank You Cards 5 February, 2021 Tags: , , No Comments

I’m on the Seven Hills Crafts blog again today with something a little different for me. I wanted to challenge myself to create a card with no colouring – very challenging for me! I used the Concord & 9th Grateful for Everything stamp set with some coordinating Lawn Fawn inks and card stock. I started out by stamping the big flower arrangement…
