Happy Birthday "NEW" Dad!

 Hi Stamping Fans!

Today I am sharing a "personalized card" I made for my daughter to give her partner as a "New Dad" for his birthday!
I've used stamps and a stencil from the Blank Page Muse & I Brake For Stamps Stores!


The Sentiment and Alphabet Stamps available in store are just perfect for adding to a personal card.
I added "Happy Birthday" and "DAD" letters to a  card base along with a photo printed on glossy paper along with a few other embellishments.


I used "handprint" stickers but you could also use the handprint stamp available in store - link below!
You can have a lot of fun making personalized cards - you could even use pics of your pets!


And don't forget to stencil the envelope to have a matching "set"!

Cozy Kitten

 Hello from Design Team member, Heidi.

I adore cats.  And this cat stamp is sooooo sweet!  When I was looking at it, I thought how cozy the kitten looks, and then I decided that the blanket needed to look cozy too.  So I employed one of my favorite techniques, paper piecing!




I had just the right patterned paper that I had hoarded kept for just the right project. 

I first stamped the cat on white cardstock and colored with Tom-bow markers.  This made it easy to do the tabby shading as I could just go over those a second time with my brown marker to make it just the right amount darker.  (Typically I don’t color a lot with water based markers but in this instance, it works very well.)

Then I layered over the cozy blanket and added my sentiment.  A very easy card!

The stamps I used can be found in the I Brake for Stamps store.

The cat is available in a set called MS110 Full Plate and also as a single stamp, if you prefer.

The sentiment is part of this set called Baubles, Doily and Words.



Thanks for visiting today!

Lovely in Lace!

 Hello from design team member,  Heidi! I have a tone on tone purple card to share with you today.

I think this lace stamp is meant to be cut apart and each strip used separately, but I really thought it looked really nice for a background, so that is how I am using it.  I used eggplant purple ink on lavender cardstock.


Then I created my own matching texture look cardstock by swiping my inkpads over white cardstock and stamping my floral stamp over top using eggplant ink. Sometimes I don’t like to color, so what I did was fussy cut out my image, then I sponged around the edge with Distress ink.  Finally, I added some grey copic marker in certain parts of the image to add depth.  I really liked the way that looks.  





I finished my card by using some die cuts (that I also swiped ink over) with my flower over top. I like this pretty old fashioned card!

The stamps I used can be found in the I Brake for Stamps Store.

Half Sheet Lace Borders

Quarter Sheet Dahlia
