Stamp Anniething: Thank You for Being a Friend

I just love using stencils to create big and bold backgrounds. I used one of Stamp Anniething's "Stencil Club" mandala stencils and this very cute chibi doll stamp named, "Paro-Namaste" to create this thank you card for a friend. 

Stamp Anniething products used:

• Paro - Namaste stamp and outline die
• Sentiment from Blanche-Thank You for Being a Friend
• Mandala stencil from August 2022 Stencil Club
• Embossing Powder: Aztec
• Hybrid Ink Cubes: Blossom and Obsidian

I colored the chibi doll stamp with Copic markers then cut it out with the coordinating outline die.

Copic markers used:

• Skin: E04, E11, E21, E00
• Cheeks: R20
• Tongue: R22, R20
• Bindi dot: R37, R32
• Hair: C9, C7, C5, BV04, BV00
• Green: G28, YG17, YG06, YG03, YG01
• Pink: RV17, RV14, RV13, RV11
  
  

The mandala was created with first inking the stencil with white pigment ink onto pink cardstock. I then added the Aztec Embossing Powder and heat set it with a heat gun. I hand cut the stencil edges and used a paper trimmer to cut off part of the mandala to fit an A2 card. I used the hybrid inks in Blossom and Obsidian to ink the mandala before adhering it to the card base.

Thank you for stopping by! Have a wonderful and creative day!

Stamp Anniething: Have a Healthy & Happy Birthday

Today is my design team day at Stamp Anniething where I create a project using a previously released stamp set. I combined two different stamp sets to create this A2 sized birthday card for a yoga friend of mine. I used Andrew-Stay Zen and Annie's Garden Lily Pad and Dragonfly stamps (minus the dragonfly) and added a hand drawn mat for this card. 

Products used:

• Andrew-Stay Zen stamp and outline die
• Annie's Garden Lily Pad and Dragonfly stamp
• June 2023 stencil from Stencil Club
• Card Mat Dies
• Jelly Dots

Copic markers used:

Andrew-Stay Zen

• Skin: E04, E11, E21, E00, E000
• Cheeks: E93
• Tongue: R22, R20
• Hair: E59, E57, E55, E53, E50
• White: N3, N1, 0
• Blue: B99, B95, B93, B91, BG000
• Gray: C5, C3, C1

Garden Lily Pad and Dragonfly

• Lotus Flower: RV66, RV55, RV63
• Center of Flower: Y17, Y15, Y11
• Leaves: YG09, YG06, YG03
• Water: B05, B02, B00, B000, B0000

I used one of the stencils from the June 2023 Stencil Club to emboss the black mat. I ran the stencil with an embossing mat through my Sizzix Big Shot. This creates a nice texture on the cardstock.

To create the mat that Andrew is sitting on, I ink smooshed Bristol cardstock with Distress Oxides in Twisted Citron, Mowed Lawn, and Lucky Clover. I then cut out the mat to fit under him.

I heat embossed the sentiment first by stamping it with white pigment ink on black cardstock then using white embossing powder. 

I hope you give this card a try! It's perfect for all your yoga family and friends!

Thank you for stopping by. Have a creative day!
