Thank You!

 Hello, Janet here with a rustic looking thank you card. It looks like fresh pick flowers.

Using Memento Tuxedo black ink, I stamped the milk can, colored it with copic markers and cut it out. The daisy bunch is stamped directly on the printed paper with Memento Tuxedo black ink. It is also colored with copic markers. I attached the milk can below the daisy bunch. A black and white ribbon is tied around the top of the can. Thank you is stamped in the upper right corner with VersaFine Nocturne ink. The printed paper is layered on black cardstock. The bottom layer is yellow cardstock embossed to look like brick.

The True Warmth of Friendship

Happy summer, friends! Toni here today with a hilarious friendship card that makes me giggle.

I stamped the Sassy Girl Variation image with Versafine Clair Onyx, coloring her up with my Derwent watercolor pencils. I tried to shade her undies a tad yellow but it's not obvious obvious.  

Still the Peeing Your Pants sentiment is the perfect accompaniment.  Look at her face and sassy stance!

Thanks for stopping by and checking out my card.

Does Common Sense Grow in Your Garden?

Happy summer, friends! Toni here, and I noticed my neighbors' sunflowers have really gotten tall, so I thought I would use the Sunflower Lg image on my card.

I stamped the Sunflower Lg image a couple of times on the card base, leaving enough room for the Common Sense sentiment.  I used Derwent watercolor pencils for a change of pace.

Thanks for stopping by and checking out my card.

Shimmery Vintage

  Hi Everyone, Dalis here!

Who says vintage can't sparkle? 

This Boot & Roses stamp is giving me all the retro glam vibes. A fabulous vintage high heel boot, beautiful roses, and just the right amount of attitude. It's classy, it's flirty, and it practically begged for a little extra shimmer!

I watercolored the entire image first, then added shimmering watercolors to bring out all that vintage sparkle. It's subtle enough to keep the classic look but catches the light in the prettiest way. 

For the inside, I stamped Gardens and Friendship in a soft light green for a sweet finishing touch. Sometimes the inside deserves a little love too!

Now tell me... are you Team Matte or Team "If It Doesn't Sparkle, I'm Not Finished"?

Supply List:

Boot & Roses

Gardens and Frienships

VersaFine Clair Nocturne Ink

 

Additional Supplies: watercolors, stencil, light modeling paste, black pen, pattern paper, shimmery paint.

Until next time— Stay colorful, stay crafty! -- Dalis

Kick Start Your Day With Coffee

Hello, for today's card I started with a yellow glitter card front. Next I cut a piece of coffee paper to 4 x 5 1/4, from that piece of paper, I cut 8 1/2 inch strips. The first strip I glued directly to the glitter card front, the next strip I popped up using foam squares. I added foam squares to every other strip and glued the opposite strips directly to the card front. I stamped the sentiment from the Coffee Set 1 and cut it out with a stitched circle die. Next I distressed the edges of the circle with brown ink. I added the circle to the middle of the card. I stamped and colored the Kevin and Carl stamps and added them to the bottom of the card. Thanks so much for stopping by and have a nice day.

Who Says It's Just an Egg?

 Hi Everyone, Dalis here!

Of course, I had to give this stamp another unexpected job! This time, our humble Egg stamp became the shimmering scales of a beautiful mermaid's tail. 🧜‍♀️✨

What would you turn this stamp into next? I love finding new ways to stretch my supplies, and this one was too much fun not to try!

To create the background, I repeatedly stamped the SOLID EGG stamp until it covered the entire 4" x 5¼" card panel. It definitely took a little patience, but once I started doodling and adding all that sparkle, it was completely worth it!

I Love You Friend

Hello, for today's card, I started with a dark red card base. Next, I added a layer of the same cardstock 1/4 of an inch smaller than the base. I added two rectangle pieces of pattern paper to the upper left and lower right. I added two strips of paper across the rectangles. Next, I cut out a red circle and a pink polka dot circle and layered them on top of the card. I stamped and colored the Unicorn Sweetie stamp and added it to the circles. Next, I stamped and cut out the Don't Love You sentiment stamp and added it to the bottom of the card. To finish the card, I added three gold embellishments. Thank you for stopping by and have a nice day.

One Stamp, Endless Possibilities

Hi Everyone, Dalis here!

I've used this Egg stamp as intended, turned it into balloons... and now it's blooming as flower petals! 

How else would you use this little stamp in an unexpected way? I love seeing one stamp stretch far beyond its original purpose.

For this card, I stamped the solid egg with embossing ink and covered it with Kaleidoscope embossing powder for lots of sparkle. The leaves and flower center were hand-drawn by me, then paper pieced with patterned paper and bits of vintage music sheets for extra texture and charm.

Now it's your turn... what's the next transformation for this humble egg stamp? Maybe butterfly wings?

Egg Solid & Outline

VersaFine Clair Nocturne Ink
