Kit and Clowder – Penguin Bauble!

Dec5

Today I’m sharing a Christmas card that I made following a video for the Penguin Bauble Colouring class by Alyce Keegan at Kit and Clowder during the November Summit Class.

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, it was fussy cut leaving a slim border. The sentiment was stamped onto some white cardstock in my stash using VersaFine – Majestic Blue ink, MISTI and Kraftin’ Kimmie – It’s Penguining To Look A Lot Like Christmas!  stamp. Ranger – Clear Super Fine Detail embossing powder was applied over top of the ink and it was heat embossed with a Marvy Uchida – Embossing Heat Tool. Lastly, I used a Sharpie – Gold Medium Point – Water Based Paint pen to go around the edges.

The base card was created to the size of 6″ x 6″ out of Hammermill – Premium 110 lb. cardstock. Gold cardstock from Chloe’s Crafts Paper Pad was applied directly to the base of the same size using liquid glue. Waffle Flower Crafts – Nesting Squares were used to die-cut Crafter’s Companion – Snowflake Swirls designer paper for the background and Moonstone – Hunkydory – Vintage Filigree Frame die was used to die cut Chloe’s Crafts Paper Pad – Navy Blue paper. I applied both of these directly to the the front of the card using liquid glue and then popped up the finished image and sentiment onto the card using U-Line double-sided foam tape.

Below is the original coloured image before creating the card to go with it.

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.

Monster-ous Birthday Wishes!

Today I’m sharing a birthday card that I made using the image and colouring class from Kit and Clowder – Bonus Class – July – August 2024 – Cute Monster. Had so much fun with this class learning how to blend colours and make spiky fur!

The image was printed onto Copic Marker X-Press It Blending Card using a HP printer set to High Quality Grayscale at the size of 3.75″ x 3.24″. It was coloured in using the instructional video from Alyce from Kit and Clowder and then fussy cut.  The cut image was applied to Recollections – Black cardstock and fussy cut again. The sentiment from Your Next Stamp – Silly Monsters was applied using Ranger Embossing Powder White – Extra Fine Detail and VersaMark ink onto Recollections – Black cardstock. A MISTI was used to get a clear stamped image. The embossing powder was heat embossed with a Marvy Uchida – Embossing Heat Tool. The sentiment was then fussy cut.

A card base at the size of 5.5″ x 4.25″ using Hammermill – Premium Cardstock 110 lb. cardstock was created. Tim Holtz Distress Inks – Peacock Feathers was applied all around the inside edges of the card with a blender brush. The patterned monster paper from Forever In Time – Party Monsters Perfect Prints was cut to the size of 5-3/8″ x 4-1/8″ and Tim Holtz Distress Inks – Shaded Lilac was applied all around the edges using a blender brush and finger dauber. This was adhered directly to the base using liquid glue. U-Line Double-Sided Foam Tape was applied to the monster and the sentiment and both were popped up onto the centre of the card. Lastly, Kraftin’ Kimmie – Underwater Dots and Stickles – Diamond were applied to the finished card to add some bling.

KC – FEB2022 – Tigers

Mar7

Hi There,

Today, I’m sharing with you my finished In The Wild – Tigers card after completing the February 2022 Markers class from Kit and Clowder. Image is called “tigerscene1” by LeeHollardArt. My mom really loves pictures of wild cats so this card class came at the perfect time to make my mom a card with Tigers on it.

 

For this project I used Copic markers. Alyce from Kit and Clowder also teaches you how to use alternative markers as well. Which I really love, since I also have the full Spectrum Noir collection. I had a lot of fun doing this class as it taught me a lot of new techniques. Really loved learning how to colour the water and the images in the water. I also loved the vibrant colours in this class.

I framed the picture with some black cardstock and added die cut the sentiment twice out of gold cardstock and stacked it on top of each other to complete the card.

My mom loved her card and I hope you do too!
