Caffeinated Fox by Martha Lucia

Hi there, Martha Lucia here!
I’m back with with one of my favorites stamp sets Caffeinated Fox.


I stamped the images from the Caffeinated Fox stamp set with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and colored the fox with Spectrum Noir Alcohol Markers . I fussy cut the fox with my scissors. 

 For the background, I blended distress inks on five different colors over a whisper white card layer and ran the inked layer with the On the Curve Cover Panel from Reverse Confetti though my die cutting machine. After have the cover plate cut from the layer and without remove it from the die cut.


I pasted double sided foam tape over the negative curve designs. I placed my card base over the cover plate and used only the negatives to save the traditional die cut to other project.

I love how this card turned out. The colors and dimension of all curves made this a really special card. For me it is also special because this is my last card as designer of The Rabbit Hole Designs. Thank you for let me share my talents with you.

Thanks for stopping by and see you soon!

Bowl of love


Hi TRHD fans!  Shanna here today with a fun shaped card showcasing my favorite goldfish!!  The stamps set is The Rabbit Hole Design's So-Fishticated set, and it is gorgeous!  I love how artsy all the different stamps are, it makes them so fun to color!  



I started off by die cutting 2 fish bowls and creating a "hinge" on one of them to attach and make a card.  I inked the edges of the top bow with Tumbled Glass Distress Ink to give some dimension to the bowl.  My water is another diet piece, that I die cut out of Bristol paper knowing I wanted to do some watercoloring on it.  I stamped the pretty goldfish from So-Fishticated on the water piece using Versa Clair Nocturne ink and heat set it to dry.  My coloring was done with Tombow markers, in shades of orange and teal.  Once I was don't coloring the fish, I masked it off with some masking fluid and then used a wet on wet technique with a couple of blue tones from my Tombow collection for the water.  


My sentiment came from the set, and I stamped it on white cardstock, cut it down to a strip, and popped it up with foam adhesive.  I did trim the line of the strip to match the shape of the bowl.  A white gel pen helped me add some final highlight lines to the bowl and I was done!

 **Well, ALMOST done**  

At the last minute I decided that gorgeous Goldy needed some sparkle!  Liquid Pixie Dust to the rescue! (cue Peter Pan music??!!)  I am in LOVE with this stuff, and guess what?!?  The Rabbit Hole Designs carries it in their shop!!  They actually have a bunch of new *Crafter's Essentials* that are totally worth checking out!  Take a peek at what they have to offer here.

Well, that's all today....Thank you so much for stopping by!  Be sure to swing by and say hi over at my blog, and follow along with my caffeinated adventures on Instagram!  See you all again soon

Whale Hello there!



Hi everyone! Shanna here from Caffeinated Craftiness today with another adorable card featuring TRHD's Beach Day stamp set.  I thought the whales in the set were cute enough to have their own card, and thus this card was born!

I started by cutting out die cut circle out of a panel I had previously stenciled some clouds on with distress ink.  I took an acrylic block, that happened to have a wavy edge to it and smooshed on a decent amount of Salty Ocean distress ink.  I spritzed it and then played it over the bottom half of the circle.  I sat a glass of water on top for some weight, and then let it dry.  I find that if I don't rush it and lift the block off sooner, I don't get the deeper color I am wanting.  
While it was drying I stamped, colored, and cut out my Beach Day images using my Scan n' Cut.  I thought the whale would enjoy having a few friends, so the seagulls joined him while he visited his own little uncharted island.  
Next I dry embossed a solid white A2 panel and added a couple strips of nautical and gold washi.  After the circle had fully dried, I affixed it to the panel and then glued my images on it.  I had a sentiment all ready to go (Whale Hello! of course) but at the last minute decided I wanted to leave the card open to other possibilities if I needed a quick card to grab.  That is the beauty of a genuinely versatile stamp set, it can literally pull off any occasion from Thank you, Happy Birthday, I miss you, or just a plain Hello!  I like having options some times, and will leave the sentiment off for that reason.




I love visiting the ocean, being a California girl.....That's exactly where this card transports me!  Are you more of a lake or ocean type of person?  Does your crafting style ever reflect your preference?

Chocolate Understands with Katie

Hi friends!  Happy Tuesday and welcome to The Rabbit Hole Designs blog.  I have something for all you chocolate lovers out there. 
 

This card was inspired by the Sofishticated set.  When I first saw the jellyfish and the designs on it, I thought the top looked like a specialty chocolate or truffle.  I had it in my mind to make it that way one day, so when we came out with the Sassy Sentiments set, I knew I had my match!  

Here is how I made this card:
  • I stamped the jellyfish and masked off the bottom.  Which in retrospect, probably wasn't necessary since I fussy cut it out, but oh well.  :)  I colored it using my Copics and then cut it out and set it aside.
  • I die cut a white panel with a wonky stitches die from my stash.  Then I added some distress inks to the background to make the chocolate pop.  
  • Next, I mounted the base on some craft cardstock to pull on the brown and chocolate theme. 
  • I stamped the sentiment from the Sassy Sentiments set on pink cardstock using brown ink, cut the ends and mounted on my cardstock.  
  • I created a chocolate wrapper using a slightly opaque vellum and folded it around the chocolate and glued it down, then I popped both up on the front using dimensionals. 
  • Lastly, I added these glassy looking heart embellishments. 



Right, chocolate just knows!  It knew last night when I was trying to relax after a long day...  :D  

Sofishticated


Sassy Sentiments


I had one of those "I feel smart" moments when I made the jellyfish into a chocolate- teehee.  I hope you like it too.  For more inspiration from me feel free to visit my blog.

Faux Framed Wedding Scene




Hey, everyone! It's Lynnea Hollendonner with a quick way to create a faux frame! This technique is great for framing up little scenes and as soon as I saw this couple in the Happily Ever After stamp set I knew I wanted to frame them!









How - To

  • Mask off a semi circle at the bottom of a piece of A2 cardstock and blend on green ink for the grass. Use a cloud stencil and light blue ink to create clouds in the sky. 
  • Stamp 3 flowers from the Easter Bounty stamp set repeatedly across the hill and color with Copics. 
  • Stamp and clear emboss sentiment from Happily Ever After onto the hill. 
  • Stamp, color, and cut the image and glue onto the scene. 
  • Die cut a rectangle from a piece of A2 cardstock to create a frame. Using scissors snip from the outside corner to the inside corner at each corner. This will leave 4 strips - 2 short and 2 long. 
  • Using light gray Copic markers flick color onto the end of each strip and assemble them onto the card with foam tape.
