Sock Hop Cool Cat Card with Lexa

Hi everyone. Lexa here today to share a manly card (oh, I hope it's manly enough) using Sock Hop stamp and coordinating dies. The idea is to put these cat in the spotlight, I think it would be really cool. He's jamming along with the music that came from the jukebox.

I start with a panel of Neenah Solar White cardstock, and blend some Distress Inks for the background. I put unsticky tape for masking the spotlight.  I blend some Chipped Saphire and as for the spotlight I blend Squeezed Lemonade and a little bit of Mustard Seed on the top part of the card. After finished with the blending, I splatter some white paint randomly.

I stamped all the images with Versafine Onyx Black on a piece of watercolor paper and colored them with Distress Markers. I did a little bit of trick on his left hand, I cut it with craft knife and turn it upside down as if it did a chord. For this card, I choose few shades of color just to make sure everything match together. The denim patterned paper looks so cool in this card, I thought it goes together really really well. Don't you think so?

I hope you enjoy my card, and wish you a wonderful Friday! :)

Sock Hop 1950's Retro Jukebox Card with Vanessa

Hi sweet Sunny Studio friends!  Vanessa here with a card using Sock Hop. This set is so fun and I haven't seen anything like it before. I love the adorable jukebox, so I used it for my card:

I applied orange dye ink to the middle part of the cardstock panel and stamped my sentiment. Then I stamped and heat-embossed the notes to the inked part and adhered the panel to my card with foam tape. I stamped the jukebox, colored it with Copics, die-cut it with matching dies and adhered it with foam tape. Finally I added matching sequins around the notes.

I hope you liked today's project! Thank you so much for stopping by!

Sock Hop 1950's Hip Chick Retro Car Card with Lindsey

Hi, Lindsey here today sharing a card using the fun and adorable new Sock Hop stamp set. This is such a unique set and the little 50's critters are just too cute. Let's get started!

To begin, I started with an A2 size card base made from some black and white checked patterned paper. I cut a strip of teal cardstock and a smaller strip of pink patterned paper. I layered the pink on top of the teal and centered it on the card base. I also cut a cloud background to set the scene. 

Once I had the background ready, I stamped out the car and little sock hop dog from the set. I colored both images with Copic markers and used the coordinating dies to cut them out. I stamped my sentiment from the Sock Hop set on the cloud background. Then I was ready to put down my other images. I put the car down with some regular adhesive. To add some dimension, I popped the little dog up with some foam tape. Finally, I added some sparkle to the car with my Wink of Stella pen. That's it!

I hope you liked my card today. Be sure to check back to the blog for more inspiration. Thanks for reading and have a great day!

Sock Hop: What's Shakin'? Card with Anni

Hey stampers, Anni here with a card using the stamp set Sock Hop and the coordinating dies.

I love the extra word die in the coordinating die set and decided to create a background with the word cool. I die cut several words from coral, pink and aqua cardstock. I didn't used always the same cardstock, just the same shade of color. It is perfect to use up your scrap (or should I say a few of them?). For perfect alignment I drew lines with a pencil. Then I adhered the die cuts to the card base.

For the focal point I went with a small images because I didn't want to cover too much of my background because it took quite some time to create it. I stamped both ice shakes from the stamp set, did some fast Copic coloring  and die cut them with the matching dies.
I die cut a circle from matching cardstock and assembled the card.

Thanks for stopping by and have a sunny week!

Sock Hop Diner Style Card with Eloise

Hi everyone, Eloise here today and I'm here making a fun Diner style card using more images from the Sock Hop stamp set. I love this set, it's so super fun and as soon as I found out about this stamp set I had the idea of using the picnic blanket from the Summer Picnic set as the Diner floor.

To begin my card today I started off with the floor since I knew it would be the most time consuming part. For this I used my MISTI tool but by all means you could do this with an acrylic block, I just found it a little easier using this tool. Since the picnic blanket image has some extra lines at the bottom to make it look thicker, I had to do some masking to make sure this didn't disrupt my image stamping. Since it was straight though, I just used some post it notes for this, but you could use just about anything. So I stamped down my first image in the left hand bottom corner of the card, then I would clean off my stamp and reposition it next to the part I just stamped. I would then use my post it notes to mask off the outer edges of my already stamped image and then stamp down again.  When I finished my bottom layer of stamping, I moved my stamp above and stamped again until the background was completed. I hope this is making sense. 

Once the floor was stamped, I also stamped out the little characters in the set along with the jukebox, guitar and music notes. I then coloured all these elements in with some Copic Markers. Once they were coloured, I die-cut them out.

For the top portion of my tiled background I decided to make it red. So I masked off the tiles at the bottom and used a couple of red Distress Inks to ink blend the top of the panel. For the sentiment I used the 'What's Shakin'?' sentiment from the same Sock Hop stamp set and white heat embossed it onto a piece of black cardstock. Now it's time to arrange my card. I adhered down all the images using some foam adhesive for added dimension, along with the sentiment. I then popped up the entire panel on a sheet of fun foam and then adhered it down onto a card base and that finished up my card.

Thanks for stopping by today and I hope you enjoyed my card today and got inspired. I had a lot of fun making this card today and I love it when stamps can be used in various different ways. Make sure you check out the blog this week to see how everyone else used this stamp set.
