Today I have two videos and one card to share with you. The first video is about selective inking, and the second video is the fifth episode in my Inspired by Pinterest video series. Both videos have to do with the card I'm sharing today. I will also be entering the card into the current Simon Says Stamp challenge, which has a "Anything Goes" theme =)

I took inspiration from the striped pattern of the leaves in the picture, as well as the overall color scheme. I stamped the fish and sentiment using grey JB ink, onto a piece of white cardstock. I colored in the fish with some Copic markers. For the cardbase, I cut strips of colored cardstock, and adhered them onto a white cardbase. The image panel was adhered to the cardbase using foam adhesive

Here's a look at the sketch for this challenge:
And here's my card for this challenge:
I simplified the sketch a wee bit for my card. I stamped and colored in the sheep image, and stamped the sentiment onto a strip of cardstock. I cut the one end of the cardstock strip in a v-shape. I adhered everything to a kraft colored cardbase, and added a blue button tied with twine.

I was very inspired by not only the rainbow theme, but in particular how the colors on the rainbow dress went from red to pink and back to red again. I wanted todo the same thing for my project. I stamped the little star in different colored inks, from red to pink in the middle and back to red again. I stamped the stars on a curvy line to add even more movement. I then stamped the sentiment in black, matted the image onto black cardstock, and adhered it to a white cardbase with foam adhesive.

I took inspiration from the fabulous red and white polkadot on the inspiration photo, along with the green details and white color. I stamped the monster onto green patterned paper and white cardstock (for the eyes and tooth), and paper pieced him together. I also added a little bit of shading to the paper pieced monster with a grey Copic marker. I diecut a banner shape, stamped the sentiment on it, and colored in the hearts. I also stamped parts of the sentiment again, colored in one heart from it, and cut it out. I then adhered that heart to the monster.
For the red polkadot layer, I punched and adhered white circles to a red base. I rounded the corners of the panel, and adhered my banner and monster onto it using foam adhesive. The panel was adhered to a white cardbase using more foam adhesive.

I made a faux chipboard label shape for my card. I stamped a zig zag pattern onto white cardstock, and diecut a label shape out of it. I then diecut the same shape three more times out of thin chipboard. I adhered all the shapes on top of eachother, making a faux chipboard shape. I edged the shape with a black marker to cover up the grey core of the chipboard. I then stamped a sentiment onto white cardstock, and cut it out in a banner-like shape. I adhered the banner to the chipboard shape using foam adhesive. I then adhered the chipboard piece to a 3 3/4" by 5" white cardbase.
Here's the card I made, using my new Lawn Fawn stampset (Critters in the Snow)
I stamped the bear, drew in a little triangle partyhat on his head, and colored him with Copic markers. I then cut him out, and edged the cut edges with ablack marker. For the card itself, I added a layer of patterned paper to a white cardbase. I "dotted on" some scattered tiny dots of Spica glitter pen on the patterned paper. I stamped the sentiment onto a strip of white cardstock, and adhered the bear to the strip. I then adhered the strip with the bear onto the card, using foam adhesive. I finished up the partyhat with a white pearl.
Today I have my card for the fifth YCU challenge to share with you. Please go check it out on the YCU blog! The challenge this time is:
Here's my card for this challenge:
I cut out a pink cardstock heart, and stamped onto it with a script stamp from Prima (discontiniued, I think). I used pink distress ink for that. I then stamped the sentiment in the same pink ink onto a strip of white cardstock, and cut v-shapes into the ends to create that banner look. Nice, simple CAS card, this one =)

Today I have two video to share with you. I decided to make two videos about the tools and products I use most often in my papercrafting and cardmaking. I split it up so that I have one video for stamping tools and products, and one for cardmaking tools and products. Here are the two videos:
I've linked the products in the video below. Please keep in mind that I couldn't always find the exact same product I have to link up. So some of the products I've linked may be the same type of product, but from another company or something. There are also a few products I haven't been able to link. So, if you have any questions at all, feel free to ask =)
You can also watch the video on my YouTube channel here.
Here's the picture of my finished card:
I'm really pleased with how this card turned out. And I'm so happy that I cut off the top of the cardbase, and made it a rectangular card instead of a square card! I hope you like it, and that you like the video too =)
Thanks for stopping by my blog today
