Who knew?

Hi TRHD Fans! Amy here and I have a fun caffeinated card to share featuring lots of products from The Rabbit Hole Designs! 






The star of the show is of course the hilarious Caffeinated Goat! But I used several other previous TRHD goods like the Drop It Stencil, Marquee Words, and the fabulous Perfectly Blended Stamp set. 







For this card I used my favorite Cotton tail blending brushes to ink blend through the Drop It Stencil onto a white card panel to create the background. 




I colored the adorable caffeinated goat with my alcohol markers, and fussy cut him out. I also stamped the large sentiment from the Marquee Words stamp set and heat embossed the smaller sentiment from the Perfectly Blended Stamp set. I assembled all these awesome pieces together onto an A2 size card base and there you have it! 



Thank you for checking out my project today. I hope that you enjoyed it! Be sure to check out all the  fabulous products that The Rabbit Hole Designs carries. You can follow this link HERE to see their whole product line.

OWL-Right, Caffeine Please!!


Hello my crafty friends and welcome to The Rabbit Hole Design blog!  My card creation features this fun 4" x 4" stamp set, OWL-Right!  

I thought it would be such fun to add wacky google eye stickers to each of the owls.  It makes them look like they are  totally jones-ing for their morning cuppa joe!


I started by creating a card front using a 4" x 5 1/4" corrugated cardstock and the Drop It stencil.  I used a prepositional spray adhesive on the back of the stencil to keep it in place on the corrugated texture.  Next I used three Distress Oxide inks to create the background.


I stamped  and colored the parliament of owls with alcohol markers and fussy cut them out. I had these fun monster google eyes and I added them to each owl.  I love the look and I think they look like they "need" caffeine!  The coffee cup is a die in my stash and it is the perfect size to hold the owls, but it does not hold enough coffee to get them through the day.


I stamped out the "OWL-right" part of one of the sentiments from the OWL-Right stamp set and grabbed the Caffeinated Shark stamp set sentiment "We're gonna need a bigger cup!"  I stamped them on a yellow cardstock and cut them in strips.


I rounded the edges of the corrugated card front. I glued the owls and coffee cup to the front of the corrugated card front. I added the sentiments using adhesive foam tape an attached the finished cards front to the printed card base.  I also rounded the corners of the card base completing the card.



Here are the TRHD products used in this project:

Drop It 6"x 6" stencil


OWL-Right 4"x 4" stamp set



Caffeinated Shark 3"x 4" stamp set

I hope this fun OWL-Right card project inspires you in your creations. Thank you so much for stopping by the blog!

Crabby Blue Crab


Hello crafty friends!   Do you have a favorite caffeinated critter from the Rabbit Hole Designs?  I do, mine is the Caffeinated Crab!  I think he is so darn cute and today I am sharing my Crabby Blue Crab with you.

This photo shows I have stamped the crab image in a light brown ink.  You'll see there is not a stark of a contrast between the stamped crab image and the alcohol marker coloring. I call this soft-line coloring  This is very close to a no-line coloring technique.  A no-line coloring technique is when you stamp your image in a much lighter ink color and as you color your stamped image  you will not see the lines you initially stamped.  There are specific no-line ink colors on the market, you can use a clear pigment ink or light beige or tan that you can barely see. They will nearly disappear as you color the image.  You will find that it gives your stamped image a much soft blended look. 

Let's take a look at the images and the differences:

A - traditional stamped image / stamped in black ink and colored with alcohol markers 
B - No-line stamped image / stamped in a beige ink and colored with alcohol markers 
C - soft-line stamped image / stamped in a soft brown ink and colored with alcohol markers 
All very different looks you can create.

For the background, I use the Drop It stencil choosing muted green, muted red and muted purple oxide  inks to stencil the background.  Afterwards, I dried the stenciled card front using my heat-gun. I could then add my oval stenciled layer (you can create a simple oval stencil with paper and an oval die).  By drying the the oxide inks, you set the 1st layer and when you add your second layer you see first image peek through as a soft fade.  You need to use a lighter colored ink on top.


After the oval was dry (with the help of a heat-gun) I replaced the stencil masking off the top area.  I used clear pigment ink  with embossing powder to create the sandy beach.
I used the sentiment from the Perfectly Blended stamp set and added it to the card front just above the crabby blue crab, using  adhesive foam squares on both.  



Here are the products I use to create my card:

Drop It Stencil   6" x 6" stencil




I hope this inspires you to try a new stamp and color technique. Remember it does not have to be alcohol markers (that is my preference),  you can use any type of coloring medium such as colored pencils, watercolors, and other types of pigments to color your image.

Thank you so much for stopping by the blog!
