Who Loves Ya?

Welcome to the Serendipity Stamps Blog Hop!
Today we’re showing off this wonderful new Owl die! Isn’t it fabulous? I love all the detail and it cuts like a dream.

For my owl card, I used a dark flecked rust card stock to die cut a frame using a rectangle die. I used the center cut out to die cut the owl. I love this rust color paired w/ the soft sky color so I traced around the die and fussy cut the blue layer. A leaf die was used to cut all the rust & sky leaves in graduating sizes. I found a piece of designer paper that had the two colors in it and used it as a backdrop behind the frame. The greeting banner and backing banner were also die cut and I put a wave in the top one because it was a bit long for the layout. I added some sequins to the leaves and some bigger, bluer sequins to his eyes. The finished card is 5.50 x 4.25.

Thanks so much for stopping by! Please be sure to visit all of the Design Team blogs to see their fabulous samples with this beautiful owl die.

Miracle Butterfly

A big Congrats to Darlene, the newest Featured Stamper! She has a wonderful gallery and there are several I’d like to case, but for my card I chose This card to case. I kept the multi pink colors and butterfly theme, but I used different images, used a die cut butterfly instead of stamped, and changed the layout a bit.

I’m also combining this with the HYCCT1305, Pink Camo challenge and to make my “camo” in various shades of pink, I tried Lydia’s Bokeh Background tutorial because it looked like so much fun. I used the pencil eraser and the 2 pink inks to create the Bokeh bg directly on my card front. On the smaller top layer, I die cut the sunburst circle and stamped the greeting and ribbon in the lower left. I used the lightest pink ink to stamp a splatter pattern on the corners of the top layer. After die cutting the butterfly and the solid wing backing, I used Copics to color the intricate butterfly a pale pink then used the same splatter image to add some more color to the center.A pink rhinestone and some pink sequins finished my 4.25 x 5.50 card.

Congrats again, Darlene, enjoy your week! Thanks so much for stopping by!

Welcome to the North Coast Creations Blog Hop!

This first card was die cut using a Spellbinders classic oval. I did a little Out of the Box Nestie technique on it, left it in the die and colored it with Copics. The sentiment from ODBD Daffodil Tag set, was stamped on the yellow check dp and die cut using a banner die from Spellbinders. The fence was punched from white card stock and the grass and flowers were die cut. I added a few punched clouds and butterflies to complete my 4.25 x 5.50 card.

Supplies:

Stamps: North Coast Creations – Gardening Rini, Our Daily Bread designs– Daffodil Tag set

Paper: Neenah white, unkwn checked paper in various colors

Ink: Memento tuxedo black

Accessories: Copic markers, Spellbinders classic ovals & nested lacy pennant dies, Cheery Lynn grass border die, Memory Box flower border die, butterfly, clouds & fence punches

For this card, I used the same Out of the Box Nestie technique and a Labels 18 die. Rosco is colored with Copics and while the die was still in place, I sponged a little lt green ink around the edges. The green background was also cut w/ a labels 18, attached to a larger white rectangle then embossed. I used a white gel pen to add a little faux stitching. This card is 5.50 x 4.25.
