Hello! I’m so excited to be a part of the blog hop celebrating the new release of stamps in the Anita Jeram Collection from Colorado Craft Company. I’ve loved this collection since the minute I saw it back in September and my love has just grown. I love making scene cards so I paired some of the new stamps with previously released ones to create two fabulous scenes!

Free US shipping and $5.95 international shipping April 12-13. Use code: FREESHIPPINGJK

Be sure to read to the end for details on the giveaway!


I did not have the dies when I made these cards but they are available. You can avoid masking if you use them.

1. Cut Neenah Solar White cardstock to 4 1/4” x 5 1/2”. I used these stamp sets today:

2. Lay out the stamps to create your scene. Remember the images that you want at the front should be stamped first, the furthest back stamped last. To mask the frame, I covered the edges in Mint Tape.

3. Stamp images onto card panel using Gina K Designs Amalgam ink in Obsidian. Before you move on, stamp a mask on masking paper of some kind and cut out. Place the mask over the image before moving on to the next layer.

4. Color the images with Copic Markers. I used the following:

Artist card

  • Mouse on floor-W1, W3, W5, W7
  • Mouse in tree-E53, E55, E57, E59
  • Walls- BV0000
  • windows, floors and flowers-N0, N2, N4, N8
  • Flowers- Y11, Y15, Y17, RV00, RV02, RV04, RV66, R30, R32, R35, R39, YG03, YG13, YG17
  • Window scene- YG03, YG13, YG17, BG000

Father’s Day Card

  • Mice-E53, E55, E57, E59
  • Chair-B93, B95, B97, B99
  • Toys-R30, R32, R35, YR00, YR02, YR07, YG17, YG03
  • Floor-E53, E55, E57, E59
  • Wall-BG70
  • Window-N0, N2
  • Cat-W1, W3, W5, W7
  • Plants-YG93, YG96, YG99, BG95, BG97, BG99, G21, G24, G28
  • Window Scene-BG000, YG03, YG13, YG17
  • Newspaper-W1

5. Finish the card off with white gel pen highlights, glitter brush marker and black gel pen for the eyes. I added white dots and stars around the colored flowers to add a sense of “magic” to the artist card. The background should have been darker so they’d be more prominent.

6. Stamp sentiment. I used Altenew Obsidian Pigment Ink for the artist card and Embossing and Watermark Ink along with White Detail Embossing Powder for the Father’s Day card.

7. Adhere to a white A2 card base.

    These are stunning! I adore the scenes you’ve created! Thank you for sharing the colors you used – as someone less skilled, I find this especially useful.

  4. Natalie

    Amazing coloring. I love that there is a cat in the window of that card! I cracked up! Mice with a cat 🙂 My fav. in the release is Proud of you. I like your bold color choices.

  6. Flo Swinford

    WOW I love what you’ve done with this stamp. Your card is great, simply great. Thanks for the inspiration.

  10. Mary G

    I too love your scenes — didn’t even realize there was a Windowsills stamp set! But I couldn’t find the picture frame — did you make that yourself? It’s perfect! I love that Father’s Day set!!

    1. whostolemyglitter

      Thank you! No the picture frame is from an early release and I completely forgot to link it. Give me a second and I’ll get you the info and update my post.

      1. Sandra Mullenix

        Awesome scenes. And your coloring is top of the line. It is so cute seeing a cat in the window of a rat’s house. I love both scenes.

    I love your vibrant colors and attention to detail with these sweet CCC sets. Reminds me of getting up early on Sunday mornings and getting up to read the “funnies” comics in the paper. I especially like the Love Art set!

    Your dimension with watercolors is outstanding. I love the cat living with the mice—harmoniously! Who would have thought a cat could be calmly looking out the window with all those mice behind him!

    Hi! Thanks for the opportunity to win a gift card from Colorado Crafts!!

    Dear Jennifer –

    This is a tough choice. I think the Love Art set is my favorite. I love the quotes around the edge. I also like “Amazing Mom” a lot. I also love the little tiny “The Artist” stamp.

    A virtual hug –

    Gorgeous cards! You’ve created entire charming worlds and I simply love these cards. Fantastic coloring!

  94. Kathleen

    I’m crazy about Anita Jeram and am thrilled with this new release, especially the Love Art set. I like how you decided to set the scene indoors, using the window for light. The “magic” that you added is perfect. The For Dad set is my second favorite. Is that a peek at the Make A Wish mini set in the picture on the wall? You are so clever! The whole cozy scene is delightful! I’ve learned so much from you on this post alone! Thank you.

  95. Geri S

    Cute cards! Of course anything with mice by AJ at 3C is adorable and I can’t pick just one, especially with a nickname of “Mouse”. TFS!

  99. Sharon H

    Just adorable! Love the Dad and baby reading the paper with the kitty looking out the window….too cute!

  101. Izzy Scrap

    OMG ! You’ve created such beautiful and adorable littles scenes combining different releases. And your colouring….just stunning ! It gives live to these cards. Thanks so much for sharing.

  104. Karen Hoskins

    I love all the stamp sets in this release but I think my favorite is Dad’s cooking. The two kitties remind me of my twin boys. Your cards are beautiful. I love the way you made scenes out of the stamps. Awesome coloring! Thank you for sharing them with us.

  108. Dorothy A

    Fantastic cards! I love the whole scene you created with different stamp sets, and I want them all! Your coloring and combinations are amazing and inspiring!

  110. Kathleen Budd

    I have to agree with most of the comments here, your Copic coloring is phenomenal! I love that you combined previously released stamps in your scenes as they work so beautifully together .

    Love your work and so glad you are part of 3C’s release!

  111. Karen N

    Love the vibrant colors that seem to bring such depth and feeling to these images! Your coloring technique is beautiful, and you’ve added such detail to each card. Thank you for sharing!

  112. Cindy K

    Your cards are wonderful!! Your copic coloring is just SO good with all the shading. I also like how you added the paint splatter on your first card. The whole release is fabulous so it is too hard after seeing everyone’s take to pick just one favorite!

  114. Sue D.

    WOW… what fantastic cards with such creative backgrounds. Love your style and your coloring (as well as masking) talent is awesome!!!!
