Happy Anniversary Card!

Today Ellen has stretched some Holiday stamps to create a sweet and snuggly anniversary card using our Newton's Christmas Cuddles Stamp Set! Although this stamp set has a holiday theme the images in it are very versatile and work for many other occasions. Today she features the sweet image of kissing kitties on this Anniversary Card. She colors the image with copics (colors listed out below) and cuts it out with the Newton's Christmas Cuddles Die Set.  Instead of a holiday theme she creates a lovely sunny scene using our Sunscape Stencil. She also adds adds the grass using our Land Borders Die Set. She then adds in sentiments from another seasonal design, the Newton Celebrates Stamp Set!
Tips on creating this card!

Below we have some tips from Ellen on how she created this adorable cuddly scene:

  1. First I made the background for the card. I colored a rectangular piece with blue distress ink. Afterwards I placed the Sunscape Stencil on the card base, so it looks like the sun is in the middle of the card.

  2. Afterwards I did cut out and inked the grass and hills with the Land Borders Die Set and added color with distress ink. To have a pretty border I used the second large scalloped rectangle shape from the Framework Die Set.

  3. I colored the kitties from the Newton's Christmas Cuddles Stamp Set with copic markers. When I was happy with the result I added yellow along the top of the kitties to mimmic the sunbeams.

    Copic Markers: B29, B26, B24 and RV69, RV34, RV32, RV42 (neck-yoke?) and R89, R37, R29 (heart), E55, E53, E51, E50 (Girl cat), W5, W4, W3, W2, W1 and E35, E33, E31 (Boy cat), YR16, Y15, Y06, Y02 (yellow for the sunbeam)
  4. As last step I did stamp and cut out the sentiments from the Newton Celebrates Stamp Set.

Isn't it fun how a little creative thinking can help you get more from your stamps? We hope this idea inspires you to look at your stamps in new ways and find more uses for them!
