Season’s Greetings…

Happy Hello Evelin T Designs friends.. Annette Allen here with you today and I am mixing it all up today with Evelin T Designs: Season’s Greetings, Baby, It’s Cold Outside, Fun In The Snow, Good Tidings To You, Warm Winter Wishes and Winter Magic stamp sets. I used all of these sets because they are all just so cute I could not help myself. So this lead to a fun stamped background.

I stamped out all these cuties onto some kraft card-stock and I knew I did not want to color the images all entirely, so I used a white gel pen here and there and colored the scarfs, mugs, hats and gifts with Copic Sketch markers. I wanted more of the white so I added some polka dots and some snow with the white gel pen. I just cant get enough. I also stamped out a little snowflakes here and there.

I wanted the sentiment to really stand out so I cut a piece of black and white designer paper to put behind my sentiment. I stamped the sentiment on a strip of kraft card-stock and adhered it with the designer paper to my card.

Totally simple card to create and I used 6 of Evelin T Designs cute stamps.

This is also my last design team post for ETD and I wanted to thank you all for the support. Evelin, thank you for having me on your team. Being able to design and share inspiration with everyone has been a great honor to me. I am forever an Evelin T Designs FAN.

Silent Night…

Hello Evelin T Designs friends, Annette Allen here with you today and I am sharing a card that I created using the new Pup-tastic Christmas and Be Merry stamp sets. I did a little masking magic with these sweet images. It is the cutest caroling group ever.

I first stamped all the images and used masking magic so the images look as one stamp set. I kept the masking tape on so I could create this fun background. I first blended Ranger Oxide inks Worn Lipstick and Tumbled glass then added this fun stencil using Cracked Pistachio.

I peeled the masking tape and colored the images with Copic sketch markers. Once it was all colored I splattered a bit of Copic opaque to give the look of snow. Finishing up with stamping the notes and sentiment from the Pup-tastic Christmas stamp set.

I thought I was missing something so I added this fun striped strip of designer paper to the bottom. That completed the look that I was going for.

Well that is all for today.

Thank you for stopping by!

Beautiful Day…

Happy Day Evelin T Designs friends. Annette Allen here with you on this fine Monday. I had been looking outside and loving all the flowers that are blooming so it made me think of this Evelin T Designs: Floral Surprise stamp set, it was time to ink it up again. I also paired it up with the Evergreen Foliage stamp set. I love to mix and match all the Evelin T Designs stamp set.

I was going for a simple yet colorful card so I just stamped directly onto my card base.

The images are colored with Copic sketch markers. When I started this card I had no idea what color theme I was going with so I just grabbed a few of my favorites and started coloring. The more color the better, if you ask me.

I finished up with stamped this sentiment from the Evergreen Foliage stamp set. This will be short today as you can see this card it simple yet for sure to bring a smile to that someone special that needs a smile.

Make sure to follow the Evelin T Designs blog for more inspiration from the design team.

Merfriends…

Happy hello Evelin T Designs friends. Annette Allen here with you today and I am sharing a fun folding card using Evelin T Designs: Under The Sea: Merfriends stamp set. I love creating scenes and this stamp set is perfect for that cute underwater scene type card.

I created three different layers with all these cute images and I colored them with Copic sketch markers. Then, I used some foam tape to pop some of the images and for the others I used strips of clear acetate to give the effect of swimming fish.

Since I love using patterned paper, I chose some happy colors that would enhance my scene a bit more. This was totally simple to create and I might add totally fun.

Thanks for stopping by.

The Little Things…

Happy August 10th everyone. Annette Allen here with you today and I am sharing a card that I created using Evelin T Designs: Life Is Beautiful stamp set. This set is full of pretty images and well every time I use it I want to use all of them but today I narrowed it down to two.

I created this background using alcohol inks and a Hero Arts background die. I colored these sweet images using Copic sketch makers and did a little fussy cutting. Then, I used foam adhesives to give a little dimension to my card. Finishing up with this fun sentiment that I heat embossed on some kraft card-stock. Notice I cut my strip at an angle, just something a little different.

This card was totally simple to create. Just a bit of coloring and piecing it together. I love simple cards, don’t you?

This Evelin T Designs: Life Is Beautiful stamp set is so fun color and create with. A must have if you ask me. Now it is time to shop. Check out all the fun stamps that Evelin T Designs has to offer HERE.

Best Times…

Happy July Evelin T Designs friends. Annette Allen here with you today and I am sharing a card that I created using the new Best Friends Fur-ever! stamp set.

This stamp set is so fun to color and create Happy cards.

Narwhal HELLO…

Happy Monday Evelin T Designs friends. Annette Allen here with you on this fine Monday and I am sharing a card created using the newly released UNDER THE SEA: NARWHAL stamp set. Don’t you just love the new release?

I colored these adorable images with Copic Sketch markers. For the background I used a background created using Ranger alcohol inks and water. With a couple of fun die cuts I am ready to put my card together.

Piecing the card together is sometimes the fun part. I adhered the colorful background on my card base but first added some pretty designer paper on the sides. I wanted the pink to stand out just a bit more so this was my solution. Next I added these cute die cuts and finishing up with my colored images from the UNDER THE SEA: NARWHAL stamp set. I used foam adhesives to give it some dimension.

You can get your crafty hands on new release HERE. Make sure to check out all the inspiration from the sneak peeks we did at the beginning of the month.

Have a wonderful day.

Smell the Coffee….

I used a stencil and Ranger oxide inks to create this fun background. You can really use any stencil you like to create a colorful filled background.

I stamped out these lovely leaves on some colorful card-stock. I fussy cut them and added them to my card using foam adhesives to give it a little dimension. Next I stamped this adorable cat drinking coffee and colored with Copic sketch markers. Finishing up with stamping the sentiment and cutting in half so I can add it on both sides of the image.

I added some Copic opaque, just because I love how it highlights the background a bit more.

That is all for today. Thanks for stopping by. Happy Evelin T. Designs stamping.

Reading Love…

Happy March everyone… Annette Allen here with you today to share a little reading love.

Today I am sharing a card I created using Evelin T. Designs: Alpha Blocks and Reading Buddies.

I love how fun these stamps are to mix together. These Block Letters go perfect with this Reading Buddies set. Reading… letters… right? I was going to color the letters but ending up leaving them just because it really did remind me of reading. It’s like when you open a book and see all the words on white backing.

I also wanted to have one of the cute critters so I colored these adorable bear with Copic Sketch makers and added him to my card using Scotch foam adhesives to give him some dimension. Finishing up with stamping this fun sentiment.

Totally simple card to recreate with just a hint of coloring. I went with easter colors. I know it is not until April but I am in just that kind of mood. You could go wild with color on this card. Give it a try with any of Evelin T. Designs Stamps… Make sure to share them on social media and tag #evelintdesigns so we can see them.
