You’re Tea-rrific Friend

Hello there! I’m up over on the Sunny Studio Stamps blog today sharing a card I created featuring the sweet new Tea-rrific stamp set and dies.

To create my card, I started out by stamping several of the images from the Tea-rrific stamp set then coloring them using Copic markers and die cutting them out using the Tea-rrific dies. For each of the tea cups and the tea pot, I added a flower, for the tea cups I used a flower from the Spring Scenes stamp set and dies and for the tea pot I used a flower from the Chickie Baby stamp set and dies. 
Next I die cut and stitched rectangle, stamped my sentiment along the top and adhered my images, popping up the blue and yellow tea cups with foam tape. For my background, I used the Frilly Frames Polka-Dot die and die cut it from white cardstock then trimmed down a piece of Classic Gingham yellow paper and adhered it on top. I added foam tape to the backside of my Frilly Frames piece and adhered it to my card base then added the rectangle with my images.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

For the BEST DAD ever

Hello there! I’m up over on the Sunny Studio Stamps blog today sharing a Father’s Day card I created featuring the fun new Tool Time stamp set and dies.

To create my card, I started out by stamping the images from the Tool Time stamp set and coloring them using Copic markers then I used the Tool Time dies to die cut them out. 

Next I used a white card stock panel that I die cut using the Frilly Frames Retro Petals die and randomly stamped the images from the set and colored only the gray portions of the images with Copic markers. After that, I added a panel of black card stock to the front of my card base and adhered my stamped panel with a strip of orange Classic Gingham cardstock. 

I adhered my images to a die cut square and added a black card stock mat. Then I stamped my sentiment on a strip of white card stock and attached it across the middle of the square. I used foam tape to adhere the square to the front of my card.

For You - Spellbinders Large Die of the Month

 Hello! I’m popping in today to share a card that I created using Spellbinders Large Die of the Month for May. The Kaleidoscope Card Creator dies are so unique and beautiful and allow you to create standard size cards or square.

 For my card, I used the Large Die of the Month dies along with three shades of cardstock and die cut them from light to dark, (aqua mist, Hawaiian shores and tropical teal) and glued the pieces together. 

I attached all of my outside pieces to a white card base and then used the center and die cut it from white cardstock and stamped my sentiment from a Calligraphy Classics Papertrey Ink stamp set. I also stamped a few stems from the set in hawaiian shores ink around my sentiment and then using foam tape adhered it to my card. For a bit of bling, I added aqua rhinestones in the center of each corner flower.

Hello Gorgeous - CTD594

Hello there! It’s Wednesday and time for a new Color Throwdown Challenge with some great new colors.

To create my card I used the Altenew stamp set, Spring Daisy. I started out with a white card base and I adhered a rectangle piece of dark gray card stock to the center. 

Next I stamped the large daisy on a piece of scrap white card stock and used the coordinating stamp and some summer sun ink to stamp the inside of the daisy. After that I used Copic markers to add more detail and depth to the daisy and then fussy cut the image out. Once that was done, I used my Misti tool to stamp a few of the other images from the set and stamped them in black ink. For my sentiment, I heat embossed it in white onto a black card stock strip. The large colored daisy was adhered with foam tape and I added a few iridescent sequins to finish off my card.
