Over on the Stamping Bella blog today I’ve got a post about the new Tim Holtz Distress Oxide ink pads from Ranger. You can check that out by following this link: Stamp It Saturday – Checking Out Distress Oxides with Elaineabella.

I bought the Distress Oxide ink pads*/US link* last weekend and have been having lots of fun experimenting and familiarising myself with them.

In this post, I’m going to show you how one of the cards I created for Stamping Bella came together.

Here’s the finished card:

A very quick post today, with a card and a heads up about my latest Marker Geek Monday post over on the Stamping Bella blog!

For today’s installment of Marker Geek Monday I’m talking about colouring using Copics on Kraft cardstock. Pop on over to my post on the Stamping Bella blog to check it out: Marker Geek Monday – Colouring Using Copics on Kraft.

I popped the image I coloured on a quick card to share with you.

Card-Making Supplies Used:

Rubber stamp: Stamping Bella Cupid Chicks stamp set and coordinating Cut it Out die set.
NOTE: this stamp set is also available in the UK at Dies to Die For HERE and the Cut It Out die set HERE.

The image was coloured using Copic Markers UK link*/US link* on Bazzill Basics smooth Kraft cardstock.

I use my MISTI stamp tool UK link*/US link* for all stamping.

The layers etc are die cut using Lawn Fawn Stitched Rectangle die sets along with some other dies. Lawn Fawn Dies UK link*/Lawn Fawn dies US link* (also available at DiestoDieFor)

The patterned paper is from an older Prima 6×6 pad.

I create my own card blanks using 300gsm cardstock, a Fiskars High Precision Personal Paper Trimmer */US link*, a Martha Stewart Scoring Board*/US link*. and bone folder*/US link*.

Thanks for stopping by!

I hope you have enjoyed today’s post as much as I enjoyed creating it for you.
