Sympathy Cards For Woodblock Wednesday

 Hello I have some Sympathy Cards today using some woodblock stamps from my stash for the Woodblock Wednesday Challenge.

Here are my Woodblock Stamps for my project today.  A Hero Arts Sentiment Stamp and others from Garage Sales 

Here is the first card I made, I used Canson 140 pounds watercolor paper.  I first started stamping in Prize Ribbon Distress Oxide ink, Mustard Seed Distress Oxide ink, Rustic Wilderness Distress Oxide ink, and Seedless Preserves Distress Oxide ink.  I would just stamp and spray with water directly on the stamp or I would spray my paper.  I had a lot of fun.  I did stamp the sentiment with Versafine Onyx ink in the center.

I cut my stamped background with a Lawn Fawn Large Mini Slimline Stackables die.  I added foam to the back layered it some Indigo colored cardstock and glued it to a card base.  I then embellished with some blue sequins.

Since I had some watercolor paper on my desk, I decided to make another card.  Stamping the same way except less water sprayed on my paper for a cleaner look.  I then cut this one out with a MFT Stamps rectangle die and layered it also on the same Indigo cardstock with foam tape and with sequins.  

And here is another Look at my cards.  I had so much fun playing with these woodblock stamps and now I have 2 cards added to my stash. Thank you for taking a look! And Thank you Amy for this fun Challenge.

Cute Bump Baby Card for Woodblock Wednesday June 2024

 Hello everyone.  I am so happy to share with you a card that I made super quickly for Woodblock Wednesday.  Technically I made this card for Wednesday but I will be sharing a couple days later which is today.  Thankful Amy keeps this challenge open for a few days after Wednesday.

Here are my woodblock stamps that I used for my Bump Baby card.  I first looked through all my woodblock stamps and found this group to use.  So fun. The happy pregnancy one is from Michaels and the baby footprints are from etsy quite a while ago.  The sentiment might have been from Michaels too.

Isn't it sweet?  It's been ages since I have made a Baby card.  In fact, I may have never made a bump card like this before. I started out with some white cardstock.  I stamped the Happy pregnancy woodblock with memento Tuxedo ink. I then cut it out with a scalloped tag die from Kat Scrappiness.  I  used  the 2nd to the smallest tag die.  Next, I put my tag aside.

I made my background using white cardstock and stamped just the bump image from the Happy Pregnancy woodblock all over on my cardstock.  The sentiment was far away on this stamp that I didn't even have to mask it.  So good!  I then stamped the Congratulations sentiment all over in open spaces.  I then forgot about the baby feet lol So it worked out that I could stamp it all over in Catherine Pooler Limoncello. Love that yellow ink and those footprints. I then cut out my background with a retired Spellbinders Essentials labels die using the largest die.

Next, I colored in the dress bump image with Yellow copic markers in Y02, Y06, Y13.  I found some yellow polkadot ribbon in my stash and tied a bow on my tag.  I glued my bow with liquid glue and then placed foam dots on the back of my tag.  I glued my background to a A2 card base 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 and popped up my tag.  I chose no embellishments as i felt the bow was enough.  I placed a essentials label in white for the inside of my card.  When it is needed I will mail it or gift it with this yellow envelope.  

I had so much fun making this card.  I now want to build my stash with this design I think it's so sweet and I'm so into yellow right now.  I hope I inspired you to grab your woodblock stamps or to make a  card like this one.

Happy Crafting!

 Hello everyone.  I hope you are great.  I have a card today for Woodblock Wednesday yay.  This challenge is hosted by my friend Amy and you can find more details about this challenge over on her blog here.  

I used 2 Wood block Stamps on my card.  The mermaid I had bought at Hobby Lobby and the sentiment is a favorite from Michaels.  I chose to do a Mermaid card for Mermay.  So, I made my background first.  I started out with white 110 pound white paper and ink blended it with Hero Arts Spring Day ink using my large blending brushes. I used all of the 3 ink colors individually in th eorder of the ink pad.

I then used the Underwater Edger 2 stencil from A Colorful Life Designs (use VonFan10 to save) using the same iHero Arts ink pad. The stencil has also the negative and I used both on this card.  Next, I cut out my background using a stitched rectangle A2 die using my Anna Griffith Empress machine.  I stamped the mermaid and wood block sentiment using black ink.  I cut out the sentiment using a smaller stitched rectangle die.

I colored in the mermaid using my alcohol markers and fussy cut it out.  I glued everything to a A2 card base and adhered my mermaid with foam tape.  I used a glitter pen and glittered my mermaid and added some sequin amd clay embellishments.  I hope you like my Mermaid card, it was so much fun.  I hope I inspired you to join the challenge.

 Hello everyone! It's Woodblock Wednesday  I love this challenge, it's a fun way to give your Woodblock stamps some love. This challenge is hosted my my friend Amy Tsuruta.  I hope you can participate, it's really fun.  Usually you have until the following Monday to upload your cards.

On my card, I used this cute camper woodblock stamp from American crafts that was in my stash waiting to get inked.  I stamped it on white cardstock with black ink and colored it simply with my copic markers.  I then cut it out with a scalloped stitched rectangle craft die from Waffle Flower Crafts.  The pattern paper is from Echo Park called Imagine That Girl 6x6 paper pad.  I cut a rectangle and layered my camper.  I also cut pattern paper to glue to my white cardstock panel 4 x 5 1/4 as well as a strip.  

I stamped one of my all time favorite sentiments using the Woodblock stamp from Michaels Recollections with black ink onto my white panel.  I then glued everything with liquid glue.  I used my white gel pen for a few accents and glued some sequins to match.  Everything was glued to a kraft A2 card base.  I hope you like it.  I had a lot of fun making it.

Woodblock Wednesday January 2024

 Hello everyone.  I finally was able to make a quick card for the Woodblock Wednesday Challenge hosted by my friend Amy Tsuruta.  I always love these challenges but I almost didn't make it this time...who can relate??

I chose to use these sweet Woodblock Stamps for my Mini Slimline Card.  The dog one is from Michaels that I got last year and the other is from Hero Arts that was on clearance at Joanns last year.  On yellow cardstock, I stamped and heat embossed my woodblock stamps with Versafine Onyx black ink and Hero Arts clear embossing powder.  

I colored my images with Prismacolor Colored pencils.  I then cut out my images with a Mini Slimline die from Gina K Designs.  I cut out the redish colored cardstock with a larger Gina K Designs die.  I used some residue ink from my blue brush to ink blend the top of my yellow paper and my green brush to ink blend the bottom of my yellow cardstock for fun. Next, I glued everything to a kraft mini slimline card base and added some red heart embellishments.  Lastly, I added some white gel accents with my Gelly Roll pen.  I hope you like my card, ir was so much fun.  

Thank you for visiting my blog today, I truly appreciate it.

Woodblock Wednesday Thank You Card

 Hello everyone.  I made a card for the Woodblock Wednesday Challenge hosted my my friend Amy Tsuruta.  I chose to make a Thank You card.  I'm going to choose to send more Thank You cards as one of my New Year Resolutions.

These are the two Hero Arts Woodblock Stamps I used for my card today.  I recently got the Architectural Wonders of the World Stamp on clearance at Joanns.  The Thank you stamp I may have had it for quite awhile as I can't remember where I got it.

I made a easy Thank you card.  I first cut out some white cardstock using a  A2 stitched rectangle die using Lawn Fawn.  I then ink blended my cardstock with Squeezed Lemonade Distress Oxide ink and Broken China Distress Oxide ink. I asked my 12yr old daughter what other colors should I use? She said pink.  So I used Picked Raspberry Distress Oxide ink. I like these bright happy colors together.

Next, I stamped the big Woodblock stamp on white cardstock with black ink and cut it out with a circle die.  I then stamped the woodblock sentiment on white cardstock and fussy cut it out.  I glued my ink blended panel and stamped circle to a A2 card base.  I added a foam strip to the back of my sentiment before adding it to my card.  I used white liquid drops and that finishes my card. I had a lot of fun making it.  It was fun not coloring for this card.  I hope you grab your woodblock stamps and join Amy's challenge.

Thank you for stopping by!

Woodblock Wednesday Elegant Woman and Dog

 Hello everyone.  Today starts one of my favorite Challenges called Woodblock Wednesday hosted by my friend Amy Tsuruta.  I always enjoy participating in her Woodblock Stamp challenges. And my Woodblock Stamps get to get some love yay.

I recently picked up this Hero Arts Elegant Woman and Dog Woodblock Stamp from Joanns that was on clearance.  I think it's fabulous. I stamped my woodblock stamp with Brutus Monroe Raven Black ink on this natural colored cardstock.  I then colored it with my Copic Markers and a white colored pencil.  I cut my cardstock and put it to the side.

I cut some aqua polkadot pattern pape from my stashr for layering.  I felt like using a embossing folder so I chose Spellbinders Sketched Floral embossing folder from a previous club kit and ran it through my Spellbinders Platinum diecutting machine with a white A2 panel.  I then ink blended it with Peacock Feathers Distress ink.

Next, I used a circle paper pinch from Creative memories with black cardstock.  I stamped and heat embossed my Woodblock Sentiment from Hero Arts called Happy Birthday To You that I may have gotten last year from Joanns.  I used Hero Arts Unicorn white ink and white embossing powder.  I then glued everything to a A2 card base using my Tombow Mono Multi liquid glue.  I added some sequins to match and that finishes my Birthday card.  I hope you like it.  I hope you will join the challenge too, it's so much fun.

Halloween card using Woodblock Stamps

 Hi everyone.  I made a card for Woodblock Wednesday hosted by my friend Amy Tsuruta  I decided to make a Halloween card.  Why not? Since I had been making lots of Christmas Cards and Halloween is Next Week.

I used woodblock stamps from Michaels and I have no idea when I got them, but they came in handy for this card challenge.  I began by ink blending some white cardstock with Villainous Potion Distress ink.  I then trimmed my cardstock to be smaller than A2 size 4 x 5.25.  I stamped and heat embossed the speech bubble woodblock stamp first on black cardstock with white ink and white embossing powder. I fussy cut the speech bubble simply. LOL I hate fussycutting now.   Next, I stamped and head embossed my ghost woodblock stamp 2 times on white cardstock with black ink and clear embossing powder.  I fussy cut my ghosts because I already had a sentiment speech bubble.  

I grabbed some Halloween pattern paper and cut a strip for my card.  I glued everything with liquid glue on my A2 card base.  I then glued some Halloween sequins for fun.  I hope you like my card, it was fun to make.  I hope you get your Woodblock stamps out, you still have time to join the challenge.
