TRHD August release, day 3










Hello and welcome to day 3 of The Rabbit Hole Designs August release!

All about the Hat is the fun new Tatsiana Zayats set that I am happy to share with you today.  I paired it up with the TRHD caffeinated spider stamp set as I thought they went together perfectly for a fun Halloween card.  

I used the new Cat Eye stencil, also from this release, on the card front base with  black ink. It made the perfect background to layer my stamped card front panel on. For my card front, I first stamped my spider.  Then using masking paper, I stamped him again, fussy cut him out and applied the mask on top of him, so that I could stamp the hat.  This allows me to combine the two images directly to the card without die cutting.  I colored in the images with alcohol ink markers and colored pencils with gamsol, then I stamped the sentiments in black ink.  I re-masked the spider and masked the hat the same as I did the spider, so then I could flick watercolor ink to splatter some color around the images.  I attached the card front and it's ready to mail.

TRHD August release, day 1



Hello!  Welcome to day 1 of The Rabbit Hole Designs August release.

I'm excited to share with you today a pretty fall card using the new Tatsiana Zayats' Advice from a Pumpkin, and the new Cat Eye stencil. I created this slimline card by layering fall color cardstock with the front panel being lightly inked over the cat eye stencil. I stamped the pumpkin and leaves onto white cardstock, colored with alcohol ink markers and colored pencils, cut out and attached along the bottom of the card (some popped up with dimensional foam tape).  I stamped the Advice words, and added some pretty gold sequins and tiny bling.  Inside is stamped with one last bit of advice and the acorns, finishing it off with some gold sequins as well.

Joyful Greetings- in July!


Hello! July is a great time to get those Christmas cards started, and the newly released Tatsiana Zayats Hoppy Holidays stamp set from The Rabbit Hole Designs will inspire you to do so!

Although the bunny is the CUTEST, I wanted to create a card that showed some versatility with the set.  

This is a mini slimline card. I created the background paper by stamping a border along the left side and along the bottom of the paper with the holly stamp.  I then stamped/cut out masks for them using masking paper.  I used the Back Alley stencil in a grey ink color.  I removed the masks and colored in the holly with alcohol inks, shimmer pen, and some dimensional glaze on the berries.  On a piece of white card stock, I stamped the large envelope of goodies, colored the tree, star, and bird and then fussy cut them out; I attached them to the lower left corner with dimensional foam.  I stamped Joyful greetings to the side of the bird in black.  I always feel like Christmas cards need a little sparkle, so I added some bling to the tree and some pretty gold confetti to the rest of the card.  

Six months to Christmas! 

Cheers,

Vanessa

Beach therapy is a shore cure

 Hi Everyone! I am excited to be sharing on The Rabbit Hole Designs Blog today

I used the new Tatsiana Zayats Lazy Summer stamp set from the July release.

 


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

For this card, I used the lounging walrus as my focal point, along with the puny sayings to go with it.  It's sure to brighten anyone's day.  

I created my own background paper by stamping the two sentiments (Beach therapy is a shore cure, everything's gonna be walright) over repeatedly with a yellow on yellow with the exception of once in purple to stand out as the main sentiment. I lightly inked around the edges in a yellow ink. I layered it onto a glitter paper that was layered onto the purple card front. I quickly inked a little beach scene on an oval die cut, layered onto another slightly larger oval die cut. The walrus was stamped onto white cardstock and colored with alcohol inks and colored pencils with gamsol; cut out. Slightly off center to the left, I mounted the ovals with dimensional foam to the card front, then attached the walrus with dimensional foam as well.  I then added a few colored confetti pieces to embellish the card.

Happy cardmaking!
