Framed Images One Layer Card Featuring New Colorado Craft Company

Pin63

Hello! I’m thrilled to share my first card with you for the October Colorado Craft Company release. This month they are debuting a stamp line featuring the art of Anita Jeram. She is a children’s book illustrator, including illustrating Guess How Much I Love You and the newly released Will You Be My Friend? Be sure to read to the end for a giveaway!

Some links below are affiliate links. At no additional cost to you, I will earn a commission if you click through and make a purchase.

For this card I used every stamp set included in this release. This is, of course, not necessary if you wish to replicate it. You could do this with one or two stamp sets and even use only one frame stamp set.

Here are the stamps I used:

Cut a piece of Neenah 110lb Classic Crest cardstock to 4 1/4” x 5 1/2”. Decide where the sentiment will go but do not stamp it.

Place the frames from the This is Us Frames and Wall Words stamp sets throughout the panel around the sentiment stamps. Some frames may have to be used more than once to fill the panel.

Stamp the frames using Soft Granite ink from Hero Arts. I used a Misti Stamping Tool but it can be done with acrylic blocks as well.

Stamp the frames onto Gina K. Designs Masking Magic Sheets and cut out to cover the blank space inside the frames. The cutting does not have to be precise at all. Place over stamped frames.

Stamp the background with the stripes and dots stamp from the Stripes and Dots stamp set with Gina K Design Amalgam Ink in Whisper. I placed mine centered in the Misti, stamped the first set, moved the card panel to the left, stamped it and then repeated this on the right.

Remove masks. Choose an image for each frame. Use Post It Full Stick Notes to cover the frame and the background. Stamp the image in the open frame using Gina K. Designs Amalgam ink in Obsidian. Repeat for all images.

Color the images using Copic Sketch Markers. I used:

  • BV0000, BV00, R01, R20, R22, YR12, YR21, YR23, YR27, YR31, YG03, YG17, BG000, BG11, BG90, BG93, E42, E44, E47, E53, E55, E57, E99, C1, C3, C5, W1, W3, W5

Add highlights and snow with a white gel pen. Stamp the sentiments from This is Us Frames and Better Together stamp sets using Obsidian Pigment Ink from Altenew. Adhere panel to an A2 card base cut from Neenah 110lb Classic Crest cardstock.

I love how this card turned out. There are coordinating dies for most of the stamps and they are also introducing their first enamel pin, shown above. Isn’t it so sweet?!

Giveaway Time!

Colorado Craft Company is generously giving one of my readers a $35 gift coupon to their shop. Leave me a comment below telling me what stamps you’d like to see me use from this release or techniques you want me to try with these stamps. Or you can just add any comment you wish. I’ll pick a random winner on October 8. (Edited because I had date wrong!)

The bunny seen in this and other photos was hand knit by me using the Sophie pattern by Ysolda.

    I love how you used those frames and images together, that’s such a gorgeous card. I’d love to see your take on the cat in the Christmas tree image.

  9. Elizabeth Knehans

    This card with the gallery wall of frames is stunning! It reminds me of family portraits and would make a really sweet baby or anniversary card.

  11. stamprgrl

    I was hoping someone would use the frames and you card doesn’t disappoint. Oh my goodness. It’s like looking at a wall on an old farm house with all the pics hanging on it.

  12. Jeannean Marshall

    Love this release and cannot decided my favorite image! Your card is fantastic! I love using the background liners and doors image for the wall!

  13. Mirella Rogan

    So beautiful! I totally love the story & the illustrations, and it’s amazing that we can use these now, too! Your card is super creative, I’d like you to make more cards combining many of the stamps on one design!

  24. Lieve S

    First this card made me think of a family album; but more, it is as if all the family-pictures hang in a frame on a wall.
    Your card is a beauty !
    I think you’re the first one who used the stamp of the insects — great !

  27. Gera Duska-McEwen

    I LOVE how you used highlights from many of Anita’s illustrations… Very creative! I love these stamp sets – so hard to choose just a few! I would love to see you make a dimensional card using one or more of these sets… I love your out of the box style of thinking : >

  29. Mary G

    I love your Harry Potter wall of frames card — wonderful idea. If I were to ask you to do some more cards, I’d love to see the birthday wishes set and the better together sets. Of course I also like the snow fawn one and the kitten with mittens ones, um, I like them all so you really can’t go wrong where I’m concerned. 🙂

  33. Michele W

    I love your wall of pictures and the sentiment you used! It really describes life or at least the way life should be. Really clever. Thanks for sharing!

  34. Laurie R.

    Your card of frames is fantastic. And your bunny is the cutest! Anita Jeram’s work is wonderful and these sets are great!

  37. Miriam Prantner

    You’re the first person I’ve seen use those cute frames. I love the detail on them, they are so whimsical and I am totally impressed that you used all of the sets from the release. LOVE all those little pictures you created for your card. It’s a little work of art!

  38. Andre M.

    Fabulous design to include so many of these darling designs, love the illustration style of these stamps. I’d love to see the Snow Happy set featured, thanks for the inspiration.

  39. Teri S.

    Jennifer, this is my introduction to you & first of all I have to say I love your blog title, Who Stole My Glitter? It’s so catchy & makes me smile. This release is beyond endearing. I am pretty sure it will sell out in a flash. I looked at the Frames set & really didn’t appreciate it until I see what you’ve done with it. F a b u l o u s !! I think it was brilliant to use a bit of each stamp set & to make it look like a gallery of pictures on a wall! I’m wondering if you’d consider Kittens & Mittens perhaps done with watercolours? Thanks for a chance to win. I’ll definitely be back to your site to peruse when I have more time.

  40. Tara Wilson

    That was soooo outside the box. Beautiful! And LOTS of work. I am not sure what my favorite set is, but with a card design like the one you showed, you could pull from many of the sets.

  45. Denise Bryant

    I love the way you used the frames! Adorable card with these charming critters! Beautiful coloring too! I’d love to see you make a card with the Christmas Tree Cat image!

  48. jonevill

    Absolutely stunning ! I love how you’ve showcased the images in the frame stamps, perfection ! I can’t wait to see what else you make ! All the stamp sets in this release are gorgeous!

  49. dmoran01

    Great card- love it! I don’t think I’ve ever been so excited about a release! These stamps are just adorable & sweet, can’t wait for my order to arrive!

  50. momentsofcrafting

    What a stunning card, Jennifer! A wonderful way to incorporate so many of these beautiful images! Love it! I’d love to see you work with the Better Together set! Thanks so much for the inspiration! Take care! 🙂

  52. NANCY KERRY

    I posted this on the FB page where I saw your work – and thus, I found your website : ) thank you for that. Came over to see how you made the card, and just great ideas! Thanks so much – I might get that stamp set now — the frames one – and will click through from here , it’s the only way I know to really thank people like you for making these cards and showing us wanna-bees how we too could be card makers. This is a great idea with the frames (I had not bought them) although i thought they were cute, but I can see some new ways of using those frames to make a great fun story telling card like that. the masking is a lot though, it seems, I can’t see another way to do it though ? To answer your question, would love to see you use the ice cream day ? 🙂 thank you for sharing your talents and gifts with us 🙂

  53. Bienchen Mittwollen

    Oh what an amazing idea! Love the lay out. Never would have thought of that!
    Thank you for the amazing inspiration ❤️

    1. Tara Wilson

      I agree…I liked it but was on the fence, now I am wondering if I could put it to use in this manner. (My card sure wouldn’t look like this, though…such talent!)

  66. spilor

  83. Scraporcraft

    Really like the frame design idea for the card. Great focus. I struggle with filling in the background for the images, and this is a great example. More ideas for the ice cream cats and grouping.

  84. Leslie Birdsall

    Love your use of the frames! This is such a sweet release… reminds me of reading books to my son when he was younger. How fun to create such beautiful characters through stamping!

  86. Maxine

    Your creative use of this new release really made me want them all! I loved how you grouped them.I’d like to see a card using the bugs. So far you are the only one that used them. It’s really hard to choose they are all so cute.

  89. Nina C. Houghton

    Oh My Gosh, your “This Is Us” card is WONDERFUL!!! Such a fabulous idea! Thank you so much!

  90. Aimee Phillips

    I would love to see you paper piece one of the new releases!. I love to paper piece as its therapeutic and helps with my anxiety.

    I am so inspired with the idea of using the frames to tell a story. Love these images ! Would love to see your take on snowy day . Thanks for sharing your talent ,

  96. Tara Wilson

    I keep coming back to this fantastic card. You asked what kind of techniques we would like to see you use to create cards with other sets in this release. I would love to see some techniques for those of us who are less talented colorists. Do you have any great ideas for how to make use of these amazing stamp sets if we’re not quite as talented in the area of coloring?

  97. karenajo

    There are soooooo many cute images in this release so I especially love your card that uses several of them. The design and coloring are amazing. I have to say I am finding myself really liking the Kittens and Mittens stamps! Thanks for sharing!
