Heffy Doodle New Release Blog Hop

Hi everyone and welcome to the Heffy Doodle Release Blog Hop! The new release is now available for purchase from Heffy Doodle and official retailers, and we are celebrating with lots of inspiration and a giveaway, too!

To create this card, I am using the following products:
A Little Shellfish Stamps | A Little Shellfish Dies | Breaking Waves Border Dies | Wavy Water Slides Dies | Silver Linings Cloud Border Dies | Heffy Doodle Colored Cardstock | More Strips of Ease Dies

To make this fun interactive card, I’m going to set up my background. With the Breaking Waves Border Dies and the colored cardstock from Heffy Doodle. I’m using 2 of my wave dies as sand, instead of water. For those 2, I’m going to add a little dimension with my Copic E41 and E42 markers. I’m also going to create my slides for my critters using the coordinating Wavy Water Slides Dies.

I stamped my A Little Shellfish images with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and am coloring my images with Copic markers and a white Gelly Roll pen.
Blues: B000, B00, B02
Reds: R30, R32, R35, R27
Greens: G12, G02
Blue-Greens: BG10, BG11, BG13
Earth: E41, E42

After laying everything out, I’ve decided to get rid of the dark blue background and use some Silver Linings Clouds and another light blue background instead.

For my sentiments, I’m using Versamark Watermark ink and white embossing powder on black cardstock. I am using scissors, a paper trimmer, and More Strips of Ease die to cut them down.

Now I’m ready to start putting the card together! I’m cutting my lobster’s claw open so he can hold the pinwheel. I’m using buttons and 3D foam squares to adhere my sliding critters. I’m also doubling and tripling up on 3D foam adhesive so the critters can move smoothly! And voila! All done!

GIVEAWAY INFO:
To celebrate the new release Heffy Doodle will be giving away a £50 voucher to the Heffy Doodle Store!! Make sure to comment on each stop in the hop to be entered for your chance to win. The winner will be selected randomly and announced on the Heffy Doodle blog on July 25th.

Monster Lemonade Stand

Hello lovely friends! Thanks for stopping by my blog to to see this adorable monster selling lemonade! This cute digital stamp can be printed as one scene or as separate pieces and arranged in your own scene! You can find this stamp on Kinda Cute’s website!

I’m going to start by printing the digital stamp on 80lb. Neenah Solar White cardstock. I’m printing the images separately so that I can arrange my own scene. I’m also going to print a few extra lemonade pitchers!

I’m ready to color my images now! For the lemonade, I’m using Y00, Y04, and Y08. For the lemonade stand, I’m using E30, E31, E33, E35, and E37.

Now, I’m going to use YG00, YG01, and YG03 for the awning. I’m also using BG000, BG10 and BG11.

For my cute little monster, I’m using YG17, YG03, YG01, YG00. For his outfit and eye, I’m using BG0000, BG000, BG01, BG02, and 100 (to make stripes). I’m using T5, T6, T8, and T10 for his hairs.

Now, I’m going to cut all of my images out with some precision scissors. After I’m finished with that, I’m ready to arrange my scene. I am using some stencils and dies and distress oxides to create my background. The stencils are from Simon Says Stamp and the die is from Heffy Doodle.


I am going to heat emboss some sentiments with white embossing powder on black cardstock and then adhere everything to my card using 3D foam squares and strips.

Thank you so much for stopping by my site! Xoxo, Amanda
