Kit and Clowder – Elemental2 Spirits!

Jan29

Today I’m sharing a Birthday card that I made following a video from the Kit and Clowder – December 2025 Markers – Elemental2 Spirits colouring class by Alyce Keegan.

The base card was created to the size of 5.5″ x 5.5″ out of Hammermill – Premium Colour 100 lb. cardstock. Using a mixture of blending brushes I began from the bottom of the front of the card just along the edges with Tim Holtz Distress Inks: Squeezed Lemonade, Fossilized Amber, Spiced Marmalade, Ripe Persimmon and Fired Brick. I did this to try and create a fiery effect to match the image.

The large die cut pattern was die cut using a Cuttlebug, die from Anna Griffin – 3D Square Cardcentric Compendium Dies and Recollections – Matte Gold Foil cardstock and popped up onto the base with U-Line Double-Sided Foam Tape.

The image provided by Alyce was printed out with my HP Printer onto Copic Marker X-Press It Blending Card using High Quality Grayscale and coloured in with Copic markers. Once I finished colouring the image, Anna Griffin – 3D Square Cardcentric Compendium Dies were used to die cut the image with a Cuttlebug. The sentiment was cut from Paper Rose Studio – Happy Birthday Sentiment Sheets and then using some of the ink that was left on the brushes, I coloured over top of the embossing. The image and the sentiment were then popped up onto the card using U-Line double-sided foam tape.

Happy Valentine’s Day Bear!

Feb14

Today, I’m sharing a Valentine’s Day card that I made for my husband this year using Kit and Clowder – January – February 2024 Markers – Valentine’s Bear Bonus Class on-line colouring class taught by Alyce Keegan for the front of the card and Kraftin’ Kimmie Stamps  – Your Gnaw-some! by Neda Sadreddin for the inside of the card.

The base card was created to the size of 5.5″ x 5.5″ out of Recollections – Red cardstock.  I printed out the image for the cup and bear from the card class using a HP Printer onto Copic Marker X-Press It Blending Card.  The bear, cup and hearts were coloured in following the instructional video by Alyce Keegan from Kit and Clowder. Once this was completed, using a Cuttlebug and Waffle Flower – Nesting Square dies, I die cut the image using the 4.25″ x 4.25″ die. The background was coloured in with a BG000 marker and then I added in the sentiments using Cloud 9 – Matt Blending Ink – Strawberry Sundae for the “I Love You” and then restamping it again using VersaMark. Versa Fine – Onyx Black was used for the “Happy Valentine’s Day” sentiment. Both sentiments were embossed with Ranger – Clear Super Fine Detail Embossing Powder and then heat embossed using a Marvy Uchida – Embossing Heat Tool. Anna Griffin – 3D Square Cardcentric Compendium Dies were die cut using the Cuttlebug and the 5-1/8″ x 5-1/8″ die out of Recollections – Matte Gold Foil cardstock. I applied the finished image onto the frame with liquid glue. U-Line Double-Sided Foam Tape was applied to the back of frame and it was centered onto the front of the card.

For the inside of the card, the image for the beavers was stamped onto the same Copic paper using Memento – Tuxedo Black ink and a MISTI. This was coloured in with Copic markers listed below and then fussy cut. The sentiments were all stamped using the same method and inks as above that were used for “The Happy Valentine’s Day” sentiment. I coloured in the heart and the lettering with Copic markers and then fussy cut around all of the sentiments. Liquid glue was applied to all of the pieces and they were adhered onto the card. Lastly, to finish everything off, some Kraftin’ Kimme Hearts Krafty Dots were added.
