Double D, Blue & White

Good Morning!

A brand new Challenge is up and running over at the Double D Challenge Blog.  

Such pretty Blues!

 



I came up with a very clean, a very simple design....I know, right?!?!

 

 

 

Using this majestic tree die from Cheery Lynn, Whimsical Tree Of Life die, I cut it twice.  Once from the White focal panel and then again form Navy card stock.  I placed the Navy cut back in the negative space of the White. A simple technique, but I just adore it!

 

 

 

The 2 swatches of blue inks were stamped using the Stampin' Up! set, Sealed With Love.  Inks in Night Of Navy and Not Quite Navy.  My sentiment is by Gina K Designs, Scripty Sayings 2, after stamping I covered it with Clear Powder and heated it.  I do this every time when stamping on Vellum.  I have been known to smudge lol.  Candy Dots, to hide the glue dot under my Vellum.....Oh Fudge.....where did that left one go???  hahaha I will find it!

 

Please come on over to the Double D Blog and join in all of the FUN!  

 

Check out the FAB Prize up for grabs too!

 

 

 



 

 

 

 

Thanks for coming by, hope your day is anything but blue!

 

Enjoy~~

Happy 87th, Mom

Happy Monday!

Today's card will be entered into the Challenges at; Simon Says Monday, We've Got Your Number, Simon Says Wednesday, Showers and/or Flowers and Scrapy Land, Spring Blooms.

I found this awesome Video by Dawn for a Four Fold Card.  I have never seen these before, but loved it.  Check it out for yourself!

 

 

This card will fit into a regular A2 size envelope, pretty cool!  I used White and Turquoise Sea card stock by Gina K Designs.  My Designer Paper is by The Craft Smith, Tea Party.  It has these beautiful turquoise and pink roses all on a background of pretty gold.  I also added Gold and Hot Pink Foiled die cuts to accentuate the gold of the Designer Paper.  Crafty Ann Butterfly 6 die. The small hearts are from the Memory Box Homespun Heart die cut.

 

 

 



 

 

This is the card fully opened, pretty impressive, aye?  Dawn shares all of the sizes in her video.

Inks in; Bermuda Bay and Raven Black.  Copic Markers. 

 

 

 

 



 

 

Gina K Designs stamp set Simple Numbers.  Spellbinders Standard Circle die.

 

 

 

 

 

Very back of card.  I used the Stampin' Up! Sealed With Love stamps and Love Notes die set.  Made the small little envelope and tucked a note inside, this is where I will add my little handwritten note.

 

 

 

 

 

Obviously you can decorate the panels anyway you like, but I kind of followed along with Dawn's examples.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Also made a matching envelope, which she'll probably save.  :)

 

This was a lot of FUN to create!  I think I will make one for a 99 year man I know. 

 

Thanks for coming by.

 

Enjoy~~

 



Bingo! It's Love!

Good Morning!

Yes another Valentine card using the Stampin' Up Sealed With Love stamp set and Love Notes dies.  I adore these products!

My card will be entered into the Challenges at Simon Says Wednesday, The Color Of Love and Scrapy Land, Anything Goes!

 

I started with a DCWV Bingo Card, this is a nice thick chipboard piece.  They come in a package of 20 and they are all different colors with different word toppers.  I thought this would work perfectly for a Valentine for my Mom, she is a Bingo Babe!  I also created a panel using a Die Namics MFT Cross Stitched Rectangle die.  There's that sweet little envelope with liner and letter die.  This time I stamped the teeny little row of hearts at the top!  Melon Mambo ink.

 

 

I wanted to jazz this up a bit so I added a bunch of beautiful accents.  Metal Heart Clip, Sheer Ribbon, Heart Button and Twine, a Rhinestone and Pearl Heart (which I actually found when I cleaned and purged my craft room) and one lone Adhesive Rhinestone to top my cute little envie.

 

I am sure Mom will loooooooooooooove this creation.....plus it will accompany some Chatham Candy Manor Chocolate Covered Cherries (another of her favorites).....what's not to love???

 

Thanks for stopping in.

 

Enjoy~~



Love ~ Note

Good Afternoon!

I'm having a lot of FUN with these products from Stampin' Up!  Sealed With Love stamp set and Love Notes dies.  I fell in love with the pretty little envelope die!

This card will be entered into the Challenges at Scrapy Land, Anything Goes and Simon Says Wednesday, The Color Of Love.

 

I decorated a Die-Namics Stitched Traditional Tags with a few stamped rows of pretty hearts and that awesome envelope die which has a die cut liner and a little note inside.  Sooooo cute!   Melon Mambo ink.

 

Border heart die is 3D, hearts flip up.  Thin Turquoise Ribbon to divide the Designer Paper and border die.  Eyelet, Sheer Ribbon, Twine and Button Heart for accents.  Adhesive Pearls.

 

I am really enjoying all of these stamps and dies. 

 

Thanks for coming by!

 

Enjoy~~
