Rock Garden, Trailer Queen | The Rabbit Hole Designs

Happy weekend yall!!!!  I"m up on the TRHD Blog today with another card using the Desert Background set, just showing you how awesome this background set is even if you don't enjoy coloring or sometimes don't have time to color!

 

So first off, I die cut some chat bubbles on masking paper, then placed the masks on my card base.  Once they were in place, I grabbed a few Distress Oxide inks and my Bitty Bunny Blending brushes and got inky!  Once the ink blending was done, I then removed the masking paper.  I went over this whole thing with a heat gun a little just to dry out those Oxides.  Next you're going to want to go over the whole piece with the Embossing Powder Tool, just to be sure none of your EP sticks to that Oxide ink!  Now, I stamped my Desert Background image with some embossing ink and some Rose Gold EP.  I just LOVE the look of the Rose Gold!  Finally I stamped my sentiments from the SXS Life set in the "chat bubbles".  Well that's all I have for you today, thanks for popping by!  Hope to see you back here again soon!

 

That'll Buff Right Out | The Rabbit Hole Designs

Happy Friday-eve!!!!  I'm up on the TRHD Blog with another easy and fun card that could be great for a masculine card!  A little ink blending here, a little heat embossing there and a smidge of patterned paper and voila!

So first off, I stamped my SXS Life image with some embossing ink and some ultra fine black EP.  After heat embossing the image I got my Up in Flames stencil in place and grabbed a few Distress Oxide inks and my Bitty Bunny Blending brushes and got to work.

The Getting Inky papers are perfect for paper piecing or in this case adding some texture elements... tell me that blue ink paper doesn't make the coolest clouds!  The clouds and the sentiment are all popped up with foam tape.  Well that's it for me, thanks for popping by!  Hope to see you again soon!

Adventure is Calling... Clarence is answering | The Rabbit Hole Designs

Happy Friday!!!!  First off, give yourself a pat on the back and a gold star for surviving the week! lol  I'm up on the TRHD Blog today with this fun card using Clarence Skydiving.  I've paired him up with the Clouds in my Coffee stencil and the Adventure Scripty Word die & stamp set, and the Getting Inky paper pad.

So first off I stamped Clarence where I wanted him to be, then I used the Clouds stencil and some Oxide Inks to create the sky.  I was lazy and didn't even bother masking Clarence off, I just made sure I placed the stencil so the bumps in the clouds covered any image parts (sneaky ;-) ).  Next I colored up Clarence with some Copics.  Finally I used the Adventure Scripty Word die with the Getting Inky paper pad and stamped the sentiment in red below.  Voila!

  

 

 

Chute Happens | The Rabbit Hole Designs June Release

More! More! More!  More new release fun!  We are releasing 4 new stamp sets, 2 coordinating dies and 1 stencils, and they're all available NOW in the store.  Today I'm playing with the latest Clarence set, Clarence Skydiving and I paired it up with the new Up in Flames stencil.

So I started off stamping Clarence on my main panel.  I also stamped his "chute" again on some patterned paper to piece.  I got him all colored up with Copics, then had some fun with the FAB new stencil!  First I did some ink blending... red, orange, yellow.  All the way across the bottom, I used the full width part of the stencil here.

Then I used one of the smaller stencil pieces and add some texture paste and red glitter.  I did this in 2 spots... wowza!  Does it ever add some fantastic definition!  The smaller flame stencil parts are perfect for things like this or for using in smaller areas.

Kind Thoughts are Flowers from the Heart | Tuesday Morning Sketches

Happy Tuesday!  Time for another Tuesday Morning Sketch!  I've used the sketch this week to make a pretty slimline card!  Please scroll to the bottom of my post for this weeks sketch, or you can click >here< to see it on the TMS Blog.

I used the Modern Embossed Panels die set for that ladder frame and the stitched background piece.  The pretty stamp set is called Slimline Buttercup Blossoms (from Trinity Stamps) and it has a coordinating dies!  There are several floral/vine pieces, so I picked a few and got started.  I stamped then die cut them out and colored them up with some Copics.

I played with the placement of them on the ladder frame piece, 3 pieces was perfect so I got started on my sentiment.  The sentiment was all in 1 piece, so I inked it up in 3 pieces for my vellum tags.

Finally I added a few flutter hearts for a bit more color!.  This is the first time I've colored up this stamp set, and I am absolutely in LOVE!!!!!

Well that's it for my me!  I hope you have as much fun playing with this sketch as I did!  You can link up your creation on the TMS Blog, we'd all love to see what you create!  You can also visit the blog to see what the rest of the Design Team created!  Thanks for popping by, hope to see you again soon!

Congratulations | The Rabbit Hole Designs

Happy weekend!!!!  Hope you are having a wonderful Saturday!  I'm up on the TRHD blog today with this sweet card using the Congratulations stamp set and the Mesh Optical Illusion stencil from the May release.

A little embossing here, a little ink blending there and voila!  I started with some very pretty patterned paper for the background, and added a splash of Antique Linen Oxide ink to the upper right corner... just enough to add a little more interest to the card base.  

For the cake, I took a piece of marbled peach paper from the paper pack and stamped my image on it, then embossed using an Antique Gold ep.  Finally I stamped my sentiment on some thick vellum and heat embossed it with ultrafine Gold glitter ep.

 

Sending You Sunshine | Tuesday Morning Sketches

Happy Tuesday!  Time for another Tuesday Morning Sketch!  I've used the sketch this week to make a fun "fold" card!  Please scroll to the bottom of my post for this weeks sketch, or you can click >here< to see it on the TMS Blog.

The stamp is called Sending Sunshine (from Trinity Stamps) and it has a coordinating die, making it perfect for this card!  This is such a great time for a card like this, the image is great for so many events this time of year and pairing up the "sunshine" with some fun, spring-y floral paper is just perfect! The "fun" fold aspect of this card is super basic... I just chopped the front panel nearly in half, I like the way it shows the floral paper from the inside!

I love the way this turned out, the colors are super fun and cheery and the layout is super fun!

Well that's it for my me!  I hope you have as much fun playing with this sketch as I did!  You can link up your creation on the TMS Blog, we'd all love to see what you create!  You can also visit the blog to see what the rest of the Design Team created!  Thanks for popping by, hope to see you again soon!

Happy Anniversary | The Rabbit Hole Designs May Release

We're at the tail end of the May release!.  We are releasing 5 new stamp sets, 3 coordinating dies and 2 stencils (and a partridge in a pear tree, kidding), and they're all available NOW in the store.  Today I'm sharing a card using the NEW Lobsters for Life stamp set.  This set is perfect for a wedding or anniversary!

I know not all wedding things need to be blingy and shimmery but I'm having too much fun with all things glittery, shimmery inks & foils to stop! lol  This is just a simple card that you can do in any color (to match the wedding or anniversary year, etc.)  I stamped my lobsters in silver ink then added a bit of black on his tux and white on her veil.  I stamped the sentiment on red cs and added some silver glitter cs behind.  The "Love" is one of our scripty word dies and comes with that shadow... perfect!

That's it for me, but be sure to visit the rest of team and check out the creative awesomeness they've made for you!!
