Gift set of cards: Single stamp set - Oh My Whiskers

/

In addition to creating a birthday card full of kitten cuteness for my friend (last post), I also wanted to create a set of cards for her to use. I don’t always mail my cards, but I do like to pull together a set of cards for my friends as birthday pressies. Continuing to use the Oh my Whiskers stamp set from Honey Bee Stamp allowed for a continuity between all the cards and yet they all use different mediums and styles.

Get the look:

  • Stamped and masked the kittens

  • Using MFTs Radiating Rays stencil I masked off sections as I blended a rainbow of distress inks overtop. 

  • Removed stencil and lightly blended some additional colour overtop of the rays.

  • Used copics to colour in kittens and sun behind them.

  • Stamped and white embossed “Happy Birthday” on black card stock.

  • Added panel with kittens onto a card base and added the sentiment strip.

Get the look:

  • Stamped and masked the kittens. Also masked off the background leaving a blank strip in the middle.

  • TIP: A trick when masking something like the flowers in the bucket. I don’t worry about cutting out all the leaves I just make the mask loosely the right shape. Then later find a copic marker that is similar in colour to the background and colour in the white space.

  • Blended distress inks together to create sky and ground. 

  • Removed masks stamped on the butterflies. Then used copics to colour in the scene. 

  • Couldn’t find a spot I wanted to put the sentiment so I decided to leave it as a blank card where sentiment can be personalized later. 

  • Rounded the panel and added it onto a card base.

Get the look:

  • Chose a piece of pattern paper that perfectly fit the scene.

  • Stamped the kitten and kite. 

  • Coloured with prisma pencil crayons. Pencil crayons are perfect over patten paper because they are opaque and they cover up the pattern on the paper.

  • Die cut “Thanks” sentiment out of black cardstock. 

  • Added panel with kitten onto a card base and added the sentiment.

Get the look:

  • Stamped and masked the kitten and balloons. Stamped and white embossed the clouds from an older stamp set. Then used a cloud stencil to add more clouds to the background.

  • Coloured with copics. 

  • Cut around the edge of the clouds to give it shape and added it to a panel I had embossed with butterflies.

  • For the front of the card base I cut a slice out of the right hand side so that clouds would overhang. Mounted scene on to indigo card base.

  • Again I choose to leave off the sentiment.
