Studio Monday with Nina-Marie: Window Pop Up Cards
Hello friends and Happy Monday! I’m back this week with a brand new video tutorial featuring Clearly Besotted stamps and a fun interactive card design that is VERY easy to create… trust me, it’s not as hard as it looks! ;)
The stamp set I’ve used in today’s cards is one of Clearly Besotted’s newest designs called Best Friends; the images are SO CUTE! One of the things I love about Clearly Besotted stamps is the fact that they are so perfect to color in. They all have thin black outlines and are simple illustrations that you can add extra details into if you are a more advanced colorist. Truly awesome stamps!
I also love to pair different brand products together when I’m building scene cards because it allows me to achieve fun, custom effects. For today’s cards I paired the Best Friends stamp set with dies from both Pretty Pink Posh and My Favorite Things: Window Frame, Grassy Hills, Trees In the Forest and Basic Stitch Lines. I also added a small sentiment tab on the card using a Simon Says Stamp Stitched Circles die; the heart stamped on the tab is from Simon’s Look for the Miracles stamp set.
All the coloring on these cards was done with Copic markers; I’ll have all the colors listed during the coloring process of the video and I will also list them here for easy reference.
Cat and Mouse
- cat: E0000, E00, E21, E35, E57, E47, RV00, RV93
- mouse: W3, C5, C7, RV00, RV91
Fox and Sheep
- fox: YR12, YR15, R05, E0000, E00, RV00, RV93
- sheep: C00, C1, C3, C5, C7, E0000, E00, E21, RV00
Cat and Dog
- dog: E35, E47, E77, RV29
- cat: C00, C1, C3, C5, C7, RV00, RV93
Trees and Grass
- G28, G17, YG09, YG21, YG25, YG23, E35, E57, E47
The video below will walk you through how I created the window frames and pop up features of these cards; it’s much easier to SEE how it was done rather than reading about it! ;)
So be sure to check out the video and give it a big thumbs up if you enjoyed! And also make sure you subscribe to both our blog and Youtube channel so that you won’t miss any of our other weekly posts and videos! Thanks for spending some time with me today and HAPPY MONDAY!
