Darkroom Door DT - Notepaper Frame Stamp

 Hello Darkroom Door fans!

Today I am sharing a couple of cards I created featuring the fabulous NEW Notepaper Frame Stamp. I have created two simple cards using this stamp but there are so many more things I want to create! I think this stamp is going to feature quite a lot in my journal next year too.

Here's a peek at the stamp:

'Note' Card

1. Cut a piece of smooth white cardstock 13.5cm x 20cm. Fold in half to form the card base.

2. Cut a another piece of the cardstock 9cm x 12.5cm. Apply the Postcards Texture Stamp all over this piece using Seafarer Archival Ink. Dry with a heat gun to avoid smudging. Apply Old Paper Distress Ink over this piece using an ink blending tool. Ink the edges with the Seafarer ink and then stick this piece down on the card base.

3. Stamp the Notepaper Frame Stamp on another piece of smooth white cardstock using the Seafarer ink. Dry the ink and then apply the Old Paper Distress Ink as before. Add double-sided tape to the back of the piece (especially at the top as this strengthens it for fussy cutting). Cut the whole piece out taking care when fussy cutting the top. Apply Seafarer ink to the edges. Stick this piece down on the cardfront layered over the previous stamped piece.

4. On another piece of smooth white cardstock, stamp a doily from the Doilies Stamp Set using the Seafarer ink. Also stamp a butterfly and quote from the Spread Your Wings Stamp Set using the same ink. Stamp a title (ie. 'NOTE') using the Small Sketched Alphabet Stamp Set and the Seafarer ink. Dry all stamped images with the heat gun before applying the Old Paper ink. Fussy cut all elements, ink the edges with the Seafarer ink and then add to the card front.

Darkroom Door DT - Abstract Triangles

Hello Darkroom Door fans!

I am popping in today to share a trio of cards I created for Darkroom Door featuring the NEW RELEASE Abstract Triangles Texture Stamp.

These three cute cacti cards were really simple to make. I simply used a variety of Distress Inks to create some backgrounds on which to add my stamping.

I created a blue/green wash of colour for the card front. Once dry, I stamped it with the Abstract Triangles Texture Stamp using Ranger Seafarer Archival Ink. I dried the ink with a heat gun and then coloured in some random triangles with textas/markers.

I stamped some cacti and pots on the remaining Distress Ink backgrounds using Jet Black Archival Ink, fussy cut them and added to the cards along with some messy thread. I attached the cacti using 3D foam .

To finish I added a small sentiment from the Cacti Stamp Set.

Darkroom Door DT - Ransom Alphabet

 Hi all!

Today I have an art journal spread to share with you created for Darkroom Door and featuring the NEW RELEASE Ransom Alphabet Rubber Stamp Set.

I love these alphabet stamps so much as I have been patiently waiting for another alpha set. My Alphabet Medley Stamp Set is well loved and very well used!! It was time for another one. What I love the most about this alpha set is that it is sooo easy to fussy cut. I love that!

For my project today I have created an art journal spread in the Dina Wakley Media Ledger Journal using the Ransom Alphabet to create a really bold, in your face quote.

I created a messy acrylic paint background on this page and then used the Starry Night Large Stencil and the Circle Set Small Stencil to add a moon and stars.

I painted a head for my cute little moon child. Then I stamped the large butterfly from the Spread Your Wings Stamp Set on some cardstock that I had painted to match the background using Jet Black Archival Ink. I fussy cut the butterfly and cut it in half to add to a little body I had cut out of another background piece.

I added the body and wings to the page and also stencilled on some wildflowers using the Wildflowers Small Stencil.

Next I stamped the quote on smooth white cardstock using the Ransom Alphabet Stamp Set and some Jet Black ink. I added double sided tape to the back and then fussy cut each letter. So easy with the straight edges!! Thank you Darkroom Door!! Then I added them to the page.

I finished with a quote I cut from some Dina Wakley Media Ledger Paper.

Darkroom Door DT - Three Wonky Strips Small Stencil

 Hi Darkroom Door fans!

Today I am popping in to share a couple of cards created for Darkroom Door featuring the NEW RELEASE Three Wonky Strips Small Stencil.

First up I created a super bright feminine card.

I used an image punched from the new Elegant Ladies Collage Sheets but you could easily replace that with a large number or a cupcake or robot to turn it into a kid's card.

I had some collage paper leftover that I created for another project, so I placed the stencil on an interesting section of that and traced around it with a black Micron pen. I fussy cut the pieces and added to my bright background.

To create the background, I first swiped the cardstock through some Mustard Seed Distress ink on my craft sheet. Once dry, I stamped the background with the Chevron Background Stamp using the same ink.

I outlined the strips on the background using a black Posca Pen and then layered on all of the other elements as well as the sentiment.

DDRS156 Stars Rubber Stamp Set

RANGER Archival ink Cobalt

TIM HOLTZ Distress Ink Mustard Seed

Next, I created a more masculine card.

I spritzed some Pumice Stone Distress Spray Stain onto my craft sheet, spritzed a little water on there too and then swiped my cardstock through it. I repeated until I had adequate coverage and then dried it with a heat gun. I then stamped this piece with the Fishing Net Background Stamp using Cobalt Archival Ink. I inked the edges with Faded Jeans Distress Ink and a bit of the Cobalt ink too.

Next I repeated this process but this time I stamped the piece with the Woodgrain Background Stamp. I placed the stencil over this piece and cut out some 'planks of wood'. I added the 'planks' to the card and then stamped a fish using the same colours as well as some stars. I fussy cut all of the pieces as well as a sentiment and added them to the card with some coiled twine.

Darkroom Door DT - Round Arch Stripes Small Stencil

 Hello Darkroom Door fans!

Today I am sharing my projects for DARKROOM DOOR featuring the NEW RELEASE Round Arch Stripes Small Stencil.

First up I created a set of bold cards to showcase the stencil.

First I created some collage papers using acrylic inks, Derwent Inktense pencils, Neocolor II crayons and Posca Pens. I also added some stencilling to the pages using white gesso and the Starry Night Small Stencil. I added some stamping too using the Random Thoughts Abstract Stamp with Cobalt Archival Ink.

Once the collage papers were dry, I placed the stencil over the paper and traced around the edges with a black Micron pen. I added dounle-sided tape to the back and then cut out the stripes.

I cut out some card fronts from smooth white cardstock and painted each one using acrylic paint.

I then placed the stencil on the plain painted background and used it as a guide for where to stick down the fussy cut stripes.

To make the stripes stand out a little more, I outlined them using a white Posca Pen.

Next I stamped some sentiments from the You Are Everything Stamp Set and some stars from the Stars Stamp Set using the Cobalt Archival Ink.

I fussy cut the sentiments and stars and added them to the card fronts.

Next I created an art journal page with a bit more of a grungy feel.

I added some acrylic paints and collage to the page first using some torn images from the Botanical Notes Collage Sheets as well as some scraps of gold tissue paper. I added some stamping too using the Faded Circles Abstract Stamp with Jet Black Archival Ink.

Next I added the Round Arch Stripe Stencil image using white gesso. Once the gesso was completely dry, I added some journaling in the stripes.

I scribbled around each stencilled image with a Stabilo All black pencil and then activated it with water letting it drip down the page. I added a bit more stamping as well as some doodling with crayons.

Darkroom Door DT - Convex Arch Set Small Stencil

 Hello Darkroom Door fans!

Today I am sharing my projects created for Darkroom Door featuring the NEW RELEASE Convex Arch Set Small Stencil.

This is such a cool stencil set! I love that yu get both the positive and negative image so you have both a stencil and a mask. Perfect!!

The first thing I thought to create when I received this stencil set was swatch tags. I love swatching my supplies and this stencil created the cutest tags.

They were very simple to make. I basically drew around the stencil with a black Micron pen onto watercolour paper and then cut each tag out. I punched a whole in the top of each one and then decorated.

To decorate I stamped each tag with the same flower stamp from the Fine Flowers Stamp Set using Jet Black Archival Ink. I doodled a border with the Micron pen and also added some journaling lines using the Journal Lines Medium Stencil.

Then the tags were ready to add my paint swatches.

Once dry, I added the tags to a metal ring to keep them all together.

Darkroom Door products used:

DDSS054 Convex Arch Set Small Stencil

DDMS011 Journal Lines Medium Stencil

DDRS163 Fine Flowers Rubber Stamp Set

RANGER Archival Ink Jet Black

My next project came about because I had a whole lot of acrylic ink on the mask from the set after using it on another project. I hate to waste product so I pressed the mask onto a page in a small Strathmore Visual Journal. I repeated the process so I ended up with three tag images stamped onto the page.

I then decorated each tag and around the edges too. I created a couple of wildflowers by tracing around the Tall Flowers Small Stencil onto a Torn Text stamped background. I fussy cut the flowers and added to the page along with some sentiments cut from the Smile Word Block Stamp.

Darkroom Door DT - Elegant Ladies Collage Sheets

 Hello!

I am back to share a quirky card set I created for Darkroom Door featuring the fabulous BRAND NEW Elegant Ladies Collage Sheets.

These images are sooo good for so many projects!!

I created a six card set that I call my 'Snarky' Ladies Card Set as I teamed the Elegant Ladies images with Snarky Small Talk Stickers by Tim Holtz.

These are pretty quick and easy cards to create by simply starting with a black and white stamped background using various Darkroom Door Background Stamps and Jet Black Archival Ink.

I stamped some frames using the same black ink, applied Distress Ink, fussy cut the frames and added the images before adding to the backgrounds.

I added each card front to a white cardstock card base.

I stamped a sentiment from the Happy Birthday Stamp Set, cut out and added that to the card along with some stamped and fussy cut stars.

And then I finished with the snarky quote.

So easy to create several cards at once using these simple techniques and the fabulous collage sheet images.

You could even create matching tags using the smaller images from the collage sheets.
