Jane Davenport Marvelous Mermaids Collection New Release

Jane Davenport has just released some new products to her collection of stamps, dies, inks, etc.  Today, I am featuring two of those new products.  




The first is the Happy Dolphin Die Set.  I used FSJ Liquid Colors in

Lovely Blue and Cool Pool along with a water brush to create the sky by just stroking across the paper.  I then used a piece of Beach Breeze card stock to create the ocean.  I also layered a piece of vellum over the Beach Breeze to give a transparent look. Still using Beach Breeze, I cut multiple piece from the wave die and glued to the vellum.

The dolphin was cut from River stone card stock and the cutouts were filled with Whip Cream card stock.  He was then positioned between the Beach Breeze and Vellum pieces to look as though he is jumping from the waves.  I then used the sentiment from the Magical Unicorn stamp set and stamped it in Black Licorice ink in the upper left corner.  The dolphin and the ocean were then popped up using foam squares and placed onto the watercolor paper.  That was then attached to a white card base.  Ass a final touch I added some Blue Sky sequins and covered the dolphin with Journey Glaze.  



The second card features the Mermaid Stamp and Die Set.  I started by water coloring the background using liquid colors in Cool Poo,, Lovely Blue, and Limeade Splash using a water brush.  To this, I attached a Whip Cream background using the Spellbinders Waves die.  The sea weed was stamped from the Turtley Awesome stamp and die set using Black Licorice ink, die cut, and then colored using the water brush and Limeade Splash Liquid Drops.  

The mermaid was stamped with Black Licorice Ink.  The head, torso, and arms were cut from Peaches and Cream card stock and attached to each other using Be Natural Brads.  The tale and fine were cut from Brushed Gold card stock and the bra was stamped onto blue glitter paper from my stash.  I then fussy cut it out and attached to the mermaid.  The scales were also cut from the same blue glitter paper.  Her hair was stamped in Black Licorice onto Hazelnut blend card stock and cut using coordinating die.  Pieces were then attached to the front of the card.  I finished by stamping "Hello" from the Letterboard Sentiments stamp set from Spellbinders.  Some Blue Sky sequins were added for a little Sparkle.  


I really had a lot of fun creating these two cards.  I hope you like them.  If you want to see these and all the other Jane Davenport products, visit here.

FSJ Happy Place Collection Launch

Today I am featuring two fun summery cards made using stamp sets from the New FSJ Happy Place collection which launches today.  The first is a pool party invitation, and the other is a fun masculine themed camping card.


The "You're Invited" card features stamps from the Make A Splash stamp set.  I created this fun shaker card to look like a swimming pool with people relaxing and playing in the pool. Shaker cards are always fun and this one truly is "inviting".


The second card uses one of my all time favorite Snap Shot Frames Dies to create a camping scene/ polaroid-looking photo.  I created the scene using the Summer Build-a-Scene stamp set and Share Your Smile stamp set for the sentiment.  The camping elements were colored with the Journey Color Burst pencils and then fussy cut using the retractable craft knife and glued in place to create the image. The moon was heat embossed and the stars were created with a splattering of Whip Cream Silk.





I hope you enjoyed these two summer themed cards using the New FSJ Happy Place Collection.  To view the collection, which launches today, please visit  https://www.spellbinderspaperarts.com/  For all the other products used in these two cards, please see the list below.

Have a great day!
