Studio Calico December Reveal

Hi everyone! Yesterday, Studio Calico revealed their December kits. They all were already available during an exclusive pre-sale for subscribers only and they are now available to everyone for purchase in the Studio Calico store! Be aware that they often sell out quickly, so get yours today to avoid disappointment!

Today, I’m sharing a few cards I made using the Park Ave. main card kit and stamp add-ons.

For my first card I used a stamp set that comes with the kit. I stamped the skyline in blue and grey shades. To add more interest to my card I did draw the outlines around the images and some birds:

Using a sun stamp from the stamp set that comes with the main kit, I created this clean and simple hello card. I simply inked up the back of the stamp and stamped the solid circles. I used green alpha stickers for the sentiment:

For my next card, I used the Terrarium set by Life.Love.Paper which is one of this month's add-on stamp sets:

My last card is definitely inspired by the recent class by Ashley Goldberg. I used inks to watercolour my background, added gold glitter and a stamp from the Terrarium set. To create my sentiment I used green alpha stickers that I coloured with black pen:

I had so much fun playing with this month's kit and I hope you feel inspired to check out these new products! You can also pop over to the Studio Calico gallery for more inspiration and ideas from the Creative Team!

Thanks for stopping by today!

hello & hohoho!

One of my favourite things to do recently is stamping patterned backgrounds. Today, I thought I'd share two cards I made the other day with Jane’s Doodles stamp sets.

Here is the first card I created using the Doodle Flowers II and the Hello Friend sets. I stamped the images with grey ink, and watercoloured:

The second card is created using the Warm Wishes set. I simply stamped the images onto grey cardstock with clear embossing ink and then heat embossed with white embossing powder. I added some red details to finish it off:

So many possibilities here! I focused on that coral and pink ribbon embellishment as it reminds me of leaves! (you might need to zoom in the photo to get a better view of what I mean!) For my card I used leaf stamp from the Doodle Flowers II set:

I finished off my card by adding a “hello” die cut from Studio Calico and lots of gold glitter for an extra sparkle and shine.
