{ DeNami Design Guest Designer }

I am thrilled to share some fun projects this week as a Guest Designer for Denami Design. Today, on DeNami Design blog, I am sharing this card that I created with Cupcake Owl Trio and Celebrating You stamp sets.

To create my card I started by adding ink through a stencil onto a card base.  Then I added three different pieces of washi tape to the card front. I added a gold flower rub-on at the top and a tag over the whole area. Under the right side of the tag I tucked a gold polka dot banner. The image was stamped on a die cut circle and colored with watercolor pencils. I inked the edges and colored some of the circle with distress ink. The circle is adhered to the card with 3D foam squares.

I stamped “Celebrating You” sentiment on a tag and adhered it to the card. For the final touch, I added three buttons are sprinkles of pink color shine.

Thanks for stopping by today. Make sure you visit DeNami Design blog.

{ March 2016 Memory Keepers Studio by Technique Tuesday }

Our March release of Memory Keepers Studio – Good Stuff and Fresh Cut Studio – Greatest ships on 3/15. Plus, check out all that is new and available for March. Here is what I created with the set.

Yesterday, when I set down to create with this stamp set I knew that the photo from our outing that day would be perfect. We are on spring break and it’s been raining non stop. We went to IKEA to meet a friend and have lunch. When we got home I printed this photo and started with this layout. I went “shopping” in my stash. Some of these were my most recent purchases from Emma’s Paperie and some were older purchases from there (mostly Crate Paper rubo-ons and stickers). I used several of the bits and pieces from my Scraptastic Club kit, Elle’s Studio March kit (available on 3/10) and the newest, Little Moments collection (available on 3/10).

The stamps from the Good Stuff set I stamped on the little tags from Elle’s Studio, “adventure” and “snapshot” and the “today’s” banner on white cardstock with pink ink. In addition, I stamped arrows (in black) and the little flower border (in orange) directly on the layout. The polka dot patterned paper is toned down with white gesso.

There are lost of layers, but everything works so well together. It was a very quick and easy layout and I just love it.

Here is a card I created with Bird Friends, but haven’t shared. I also used Planner – Today Tabs and Accent Tabs - Fresh Cut Studio Dies - Feb 2016.

Make sure you visit Technique Tuesday blog for all the new releases and inspiration.

We have some beautiful projects to share AND PRIZES to give away! This is the second day of our hop. If you missed yesterday, you can still visit all the blogs HERE.

Here is my card.

I used Alizarin Crimson for the background of my card. First I stamped and heat embossed "smile" from Smile stamp set, with white embossing powder. After that was heat set, I sprayed the watercolor paper with water. I sprinkled the Alizarin Crimson Color Borst and then added more water. I did use the heat gun to dry everything. I stamped and cut the banners. After I adhered everything I added machine stitching, sequins and some whipped spackle with a mask.

Striped Banner

Striped Washi Tape

Rose Scallop Border

{ Impression Obsession DT challenge – Splashes of Color }

Hi and welcome to our  Impression Obsession challenge – Splashes of Color. Here is my interpretation  of splashes of color.

I started by stamping the pink cardstock background with Cover-a-card Dots and white ink.  I stamped and hand cut the Gingham Picture Frame and Striped Banner. I layered a die cut circle that I stamped with Atmosphere stamp. I die cut and stamped the flowers. The leaves are die cut from white cardstock and I dipped them in ink. The sentiment stamp and die cut our from our brand new release. There are a bunch of different sentiments and die combinations with various fonts to play with. I played along in Mojo Monday 437.

Impression Obsession Stamps and Dies:
Cover-a-card Dots
Gingham Picture Frame
Striped Banner
Bunch of Blossoms
