Guest Designer Spotlight: Party Pets Cards with Courtney Leiva

Hello friends! It’s Courtney here with two fun birthday cards! Both feature some great new products from the latest release.

My first card is a mostly one-dimensional card featuring the new Party Pets Stamps. First I got my card base and stamped my images, masking them individually as I went. Remember to stamp the images you want in the forefront first, mask them, and then do the others, which will be more in the background. Once all my images were stamped and masked, I went ahead and ink- blended the background. I used kitsch flamingo, dried marigold, squeezed lemonade, twisted citron, and salvaged patina distress ink from Tim Holtz. Once the ink blending was done, I used a little bit of white paint and created some splatters to add texture to the background.

Once that was done and dry, I removed all the masking. I colored the images with my Ohuhu markers in various colors. I then added the birthday hats. I finished my card by stamping the sentiment which was from an older set called Party Pups using tuxedo black ink. I then adhered that to a card base.

My second card I used the new Majestic Meadow background stamp and the new Party Pets Stamps. First, I stamped the Majestic Meadows on a piece of cardstock and then found a section of it I liked best and die-cut that part to use for my card background. From there, I started coloring the scene with my ohuhu markers. Once that was finished, I stamped and cut out my images from Party Pets - how cute is this little doggy with the balloons! The birds want to join in on the fun too! Once I colored and cut out my images, I used some foam squares and attached them to make this cute scene. I then adhered to this on a card base.

And that is it! I hope you like these birthday cards, and I can’t wait to see some other creations with these new stamp sets!
