Wishing you Joy D2BA

Hello Stamping Friends!!

I'm on the Dare 2B Artzy Blog today!!

Please, don't think I'm crazy, but I'm sharing a Christmas card!!!  I'm not sure why, but I actually did not get tired of making Christmas cards last year and have all kinds of ideas running through my head yet!

You can never have enough Christmas cards, so why not start already for this year!!

I used the fun newly released Holiday Magic stamp set!!
I stamped the poinsettia's with VeraMark ink and then embossed with Gold Embossing Powder!!   Love how elegant they look!!  I then used my watercolors to color them!!

I used a piece of Winter Plaid in the background, I absolutely LOVE this sheet of pattern paper!!

The lovely 'Wishing you Joy in every Merry Moment' sentiment is also from the Holiday Magic stamp set!!

I hope I've inspired you to start creating some holiday cards for this year!! :)

Check out all D2BA's products here!

Thanks for stopping by!

Have a beautiful day!

MCT Tag It Tuesday


Hello Sweet Stamping Friends!

I'm joining in the post today on the My Creative Time Blog!

Today's theme is...
Tag it Tuesday

Recently shopping I found some adorable kitchen hand towels that made me think of the I Adore You Kit released earlier this month!!

So I picked two of them up for my mom and sister and decided to create a tag to add to each of them to give them on Valentine's Day!!

My tags:
The are so adorable!!  I love how they turned out!!

I used the Just Tags Die set to create my tag layers!! (I love this tag die set!!!)

For my shaker heart, I used the You Touched My Heart stamp/die.  I love the stitched die hearts in the set and they made the perfect shaker window for me!!  The 'Happy heart day!' sentiment is from the I Adore You Kit!

For the other tag, I used the stencil from the I Adore You Kit to create glittery hearts in the background.  I then stamped the 'Happy Valentine's Day!' sentiment from the set as well.

I finished off the tag by die cutting the double heart die and fussy cut part of it to just have the small heart left!
The tags are such a perfect addition to the towels!

Adds a nice personal touch!!

Candy Packages


Hello Stamping Friends!

Today I have some candy packages to share with you using stamps from the Crafty Doodle Chick shop!!


I am so in love with the adorable little Rawr stamp set by Lawn Fawn!!  As well as the coordinating Rawr die cut set!

I thought it would be fun to create these packages for my kiddos:
They both absolutely LOVE candy hearts!!  I altered each of them just a little bit to make them different!

Here is a close-up of one of them:
How fun!!

For the heart on each of them, I used my Distress Oxides Inks to add some color on white cardstock, I then stamped the outline of the heart from the How You Bean? Conversation Heart Add-On stamp set, as well as the 'Luv U' sentiment and then die cut them out using the coordinating How You Bean? Conversation Heart Add-On Dies by Lawn Fawn!!  

I thought adding these die cut candy hearts, were the perfect touch!  Brings the sweet treat below into the design above!!

The die cut treat topper I used is from Your Next Stamp!

MCT Anything Goes


Hello Sweet Stamping Friends!

I'm joining in the post today on the My Creative Time Blog!

Today's theme is...
Anything Goes

With that in mind I thought it would be fun to create a Scrapbook Layout!!

I've had this adorable picture of my daughter that I have been waiting to scrapbook!!  When I got the I Adore You Kit, I thought have the picture instantly!!

Here is my layout:
The stamped sentiments are all from the 'Love' die cut from the I Adore You Kit!

I used the two largest die cut hearts in the set to create my own piece of pattern paper, here's a look before I stamped the sentiments and added it to my layout:
How fun!!!

A look at the cluster at the top left of the layout:
I used the Ribbon End Dies set to create the banner. I then used the awesome 'Love' die cut from the I Adore You Kit!  The die cut heart is also from the kit and I embossed it to add a little interest!!

I once again used the lovely 'Love' 'Love' die cut from the I Adore You Kit to create this corner border:
I originally was going to line the three loves together as I was drawing the idea from my daughter's shirt.  But then ended up liking the way I have it laid out best!  

The scallop border around the top left of my photo was created using the Scalloped Stitched Square Dies set!!  It added a nice touch!!

Such a sweet picture and fun layout!!

Conversation Hearts


Hello Stamping Friends!

Today I have a card I created using stamps from the Crafty Doodle Chick shop!!

I recently got the fun How You Bean? Conversation Heart Add-On stamp set and coordinating How You Bean? Conversation Heart Add-On Dies by Lawn Fawn!!  I was so excited to use it!!

Here is the card I created:
I stamped out the cluster of hearts a few times on printer paper and fussy cut them out.  I did this so that I could use them to mask off portions of the cluster as I stamped them on a good piece of cardstock.  I envisioned first using the set to create a fun heart filled strip for my card!!

I used some of my Distress Oxide inks to add color to the hearts!!  I then stamped all the tiny sentiments in all the hearts, again masking as needed!!  
Such a fun and cute card!!  I just love all candy hearts!!  

Can't wait to share my next project I have in mind with this set!!

Furry Friends Bookmarks

Hello Stamping Friends!

It's Feature Day at Your Next Stamp!!

Feature Day Theme Is....
Furry Friends

What a fun theme!!

With that in mind I instantly thought of the super fun new Cute Cat Bookmark Die Set and Cute Animals Add On Bookmark Die Set released this month!

Both my kids love reading!!

So I created these adorable bookmarks:
 Aren't they adorable?!

I used the Cool Tag Banner Sentiments stamp set for my sentiments on each one!

I could create a ton of these!!!
For this cutie, I used the 'you're' from the Krash the Horse stamp set and then masked the 'you are so awesome' from the Cool Tag Banner Sentiments stamp set to only stamp the 'awesome' for my sentiment!!

My daughter loves panda bears, so I created that one for her!!
So much fun!!

My daughter gave the cat bookmarks to two of her friends and they absolutely LOVED them!!

Fun Gift Box


Hello Stamping Friends!


I have a fun project to share with you using products from Frantic Stamper!!

I started out by die cutting the Pyramid Treat Box (10370) five times from different pattern paper!  i thought it would be fun to adhere each of them together to create a larger gift box!!  Each box can hold a tiny little gift or candies!!
I used the Stitched Scroll Frames (10381) die set to create a tiny tag in which I the stamped the 'mi amiga' sentiment from the Hellos Around the World stamp set on it!  And then finished off the box by adding some pearls and large flower!!

MCT January Release Blog Hop


Hello Sweet Stamping Friends!


It's the 75th Release at My Creative Time!!

How exciting!!

There are three new die sets being released today!  
I am absolutely in LOVE with each one of them!!

First I am going to showcase the lovely new More Scallop Heart Dies and XOXO Border Dies!!

I created this fun Box Card:
How fun!   I absolutely LOVE how it turned out!!

I used each one of the heart dies from the More Scallop Heart Dies set for the hearts inside the box!  I absolutely LOVE the scallop hearts and that they have a heart in each scallop!! So pretty!!

I used the Chalkboard Valentines stamp/die set for my sentiment and label on the front!  I thought the sentiment was very fitting with all the lovely die cut hearts!!

I love the new XOXO Border Dies set as well!  I just Love the 'xoxoxoxoxoxo..." around the entire rectangle border!  So awesome!  I used the smallest rectangle die in the set for each one of my flaps on my box.  It was the perfect height!!

I decided I wanted a little more on the flaps as there was a little more black showing then I wanted once I die cut the xoxo rectangles in red.  That is when a light bulb went off!! (I LOVE these moments!!!)

I decided to grab my Scalloped Stitched Square Dies and die cut 6 of the edges of the largest die from an off-white piece of cardstock!  I adhered a portion of each of the scallops to each side of my xoxo rectangle die cut and trimmed where needed!  Talk about getting the most out of your dies!!  How cool!!
I finished off the two side flaps by adding the 'xoxo' die cut in the center, which is part of the XOXO Border Dies set!  What a fun card box!!


Here is a look at the two new die sets:
More Scallop Heart Dies



Next I am showcasing the LOVELY new Cute Heart Tag!!

I love this tag die set! It is a MUST have, in my opinion!!

You can create some simple and cute tags, super fast with this set!!

I created some tags to go on some notepads I am giving my friends for Valentine's Day:
It adds such a nice touch!!

I used the I Adore You Kit for the sentiments on the front of the two above tags!!

Here is two more:
Just think of all the fun possibilities!!  I kept these tags pretty simple as just like this I think they are amazing!!  But you could add more hearts, images and embellishments!!

I added a sentiment inside each of them:
So fun and cute!!  I again used the I Adore You Kit for the 'Happy Valentine's Day' sentiment for the inside of the left tag and the You're A Hit Valentine stamp/die set for the right tag, to stamp the 'to:" and "from:"!!

This set makes creating tags so much FUN!!  I could sit and create tags all day!!!

Here is a look at the entire set:
Cute Heart Tag

Sketch


Color Inspiration:


-----------------

I found inspiration in the sketch for my card today:
I absolutely LOVE the Happy Dance stamp set!!  You can't help but smile when you see this adorable Lizard!!   I want to do the Happy Dance with him!!

I stamped the Star Ink Splatter in Sunflower Yellow Ink a few times on my white card base!  I used the Stitched Rectangle Die Set to die cut the rectangle that I then stamped the lizard on and colored with Copics!

I adhered the rectangle to my card base using an Action Wobble!!  So he actually does the HAPPY DANCE!! 

I added the two sentiments, which are part of the Happy Dance stamp set!!  And finished off the card by adding some Gumdrops!!

YNS Share the Love

Hello Stamping Friends!

It's DT Dare day at Your Next Stamp!!

DT Dare is....
Share the Love

With the theme in mind I decided to create a shaker Valentine's Day card, as I absolutely LOVE shaker cards!!  I love YNS's panel dies so much!!  Every time a new one is released, I just have to use it to create a shaker card!!!!

I love the new Mini Heart Panel Die!!
Isn't it a sweet little note card?!

And honestly, as I write this post, it doesn't even necessarily have to be a Valentine's Day card!  This would be a cute little card to just give your hubby or kids to remind them that you love them!!

For my sentiment, I stamped the 'I' and 'U' from the Silly Love Monsters stamp set right on the die cut panel, leaving a little space between them and colored with my Copics!
I also stamped the heart from the set  on another piece of scrap paper and colored it with my Copics!  I then used the coordinating Silly Love Monsters Die Set to die cut the heart!  I adhered it to my card with a pop-dot and then used my clear Wink of Stella Glitter Pen to add some yummy glitter to the heart!!  I finished it off by adding some Glossy Accents to the top!!

I absolutely LOVE how it turned out!!  The heart is so pretty!!!

Rawr


Hello Stamping Friends!

Today I am sharing an adorable Valentine's Day card I created using stamps from the Crafty Doodle Chick shop!!

I love the adorable Rawr stamp set by Lawn Fawn, along with the coordinating Rawr Die Set!

When I first seen the set I instantly thought of my son!!

So I created this card for him for Valentine's Day:
Super fun and cute!!  

I just love the tiny dino!!  

I used a set of my circle dies to die cut an opening near the bottom left corner of my white cardstock layer, so that I could added some fun pattern paper behind!  And then added the dino and 'rawr' speech bubble!!
I decided to stamp the 'rawr means' and ' in dinosaur!' in black ink and then stamp the 'i love you' in a teal ink!  I love the look!!  All three parts of the sentiment are from the Rawr stamp set!  

I just love these tiny stamp sets from Lawn Fawn!!  So happy CDC carries them!
