Say Cheese | House Mouse | Angie Blom | Woodblock Wednesday

-



Welcome to a new Woodblock Wednesday, the day of the week that we use a woodblock stamp (or more) to make a card or other project.  The other day, while going through my stash, I found the Say Cheese rubber stamp from House Mouse.  The image is of Maxwell, the mouse, taking a photo while holding a piece of cheese in the air.  As soon as I saw it, I knew it would pair perfectly with the "Say Cheese" digital paper from Angie Blom Digital Designs.   

Links to everything I used are at the end of this post.  Below is a step-by-step for the card I made, and I swear, you can make this in less than 15 minutes. 

  • I made a top-folding A2 card using black cardstock.
  • I printed the paper that says "say cheese" all over it from the Say Cheese Digital Paper Collection from Angie Blom Digital Designs, and I die-cut a piece using a 4" x 5.25" stitched rectangle die. 
  • I adhered a piece of black fun foam to the back of the "say cheese" paper and adhered this to the card front. 
  • I stamped the Say Cheese House Mouse stamp on white cardstock, die-cut it using a 2 3/4" x 4" stitched rectangle die, and layered it on a piece of black cardstock.   
  • Then I colored the image using some brush-tip Tombow Markers.  I used 912 and 761 on Maxwell and N65 and N75 for the camera and to ground the image.  
  • I adhered a piece of black fun foam to the back and then to the card front. 
  • To finish the card, I printed the sentiment "Oh Snap" from the Captured My Heart (cameras) kit, from Angie Blom Digital Designs, die-cut it using a stitched banner die, layered it on black cardstock, and then the card front.  
  • I also die-cut a piece of white cardstock using a 4" x 5.25" stitched rectangle die and adhered it to the inside for a message.  

I hope you have enjoyed this idea.  Remember to use your stash!!  Angie Blom Digital Designs has different digital camera sets so, if you want another sentiment other than "Oh Snap", check out her site and do a search for "camera".

Until next time...

Hugs from Brasil.

Introducing Bella Bulb - A Member Of Craft Hoarder's Anonymous

When I was first approached to be part of the StencilGirl/Craft Hoarders Anonymous Challenge blog hop, I just laughed out loud!  Me?  A craft hoarder?  Duh!  Not only have I been hoarding craft supplies for over 20 years but when I moved here to Brasil from New York City, I took it all with me.  And then I started to hoard Brasilian craft supplies. Okay, I admit it - I AM A CRAFT HOARDER!     For this blog hop, the artists had only two rules - use StencilGirl stencils and then to dig through our craft hoard and use whatever we wanted to use.  I grabbed stencils (duh) sprays, pastes, paints, makeup sponges, lots and lots of BLING, you name it.  Heck, I even grabbed my bag of keyboard letters and some fake eyelashes that were in the hoard.  Told ya, I am a craft hoarder. There is something very freeing about just using stuff from my hoard and making a piece of art.  I did not do much thinking here.  I did know what st...

Do You "STENDOODLE"?

A Bunch of Stendoodled Pieces I Made Have you ever gotten an idea and thought that it was going to be the next amazing thing in the paper crafting world?  The one no one else has ever thought of?  Well this happened on my recent trip back home to NYC.  I was not able to bring a lot of art materials home with me but I was able to squeeze into my luggage my tombow markers, some permanent markers, a bunch of stencils, and a Zentangle book.  I have always loved the look of Zentangling and I was determined to finish a full project by the end of this trip.   One night I traced the outline of the Blazonry stencil on some watercolor paper and then sat - for hours - trying to make many of the Zentangle designs in the book.  It did not look great.  It didn't even really look good.  I realized that this Zentangling was not as easy as it looked and that it probably takes a lot more practice than I was willing to give it on this trip.    ...
