One Digi Stamp of choice

Here is what I made..

For my card I used the Magical Wishes stamp set stamping the unicorn and rainbow in Versafine black ink, safe for watercoloring, onto Tim Holtz's watercolor paper.  I watercolored the images using Tim Holtz's distress inks.  I used Spectrum Noir Clear Glitter pen over all the images but it is hard to see as I couldn't get a good picture capturing it.  The circle is die cut from Stitched in Circle Dies, the clouds are from the Sky is the Limit Dies and banner is from the Flag Banner Dies.

I hope you enjoyed my card for today and you will join us in the Linky Party.

What the Cluck is new with you?

Hello Crafty Friends!  

Today I am up on Craftin Desert Diva's Blog sharing a card I made using Farm Living stamp set, Punny Farm stamp set, Stitched in Circle Dies, Flag Banner Dies, and Crazy Stitched Frame Dies.

This sentiment is one of my most favorites from CDD.  I made a little scene using the rooster and fence from the Farm Living stamp set stamped onto watercolor paper.  I then colored everything using distress inks as watercolors, scribbling them onto my craft mat and picking up with my wet brush.  I diecut the large stitched frame from Crazy Stitched Dies in white cs and then I partially diecut the stitched circle from Stitched in Circle Dies out of the frame.  I also diecut the rooster scene with the same circle die.  I popped up the crazy stitched frame using craft foam onto my card base, the rooster scene is glued directly to the card base.  I heat embossed with black embossing powder the sentiment from Punny Farm onto a banner from Flag Banner Dies.
*the design of the card is from a card I saw on Pinterest*

Thanks for stoppin' by!

Here is what I made..

This lil scene came to my mind when I though of In the Garden.  I started by stamping the bunny (Chilly stamp set) the carrot, (Farmer's Market) fence (Build a Scene) and tree (Farm Living) all on Tim Holtz's watercolor paper.  I then masked the fence and stamped the horse (Farm Living) and for the carrot tops I tore a sheet of post it note and just stamped the tops.  I watercolored my scene using Tim Holtz's distress markers by scribbling them onto a craft mat then picking it  up with my wet brush.  I used Fancy Frame Dies to cut out scene and the scalloped mat.

I hope this has inspired you to join us for the In the Garden Linky Party.

CDD-Throwback Thursday-Busy Bees

Hey Crafty Friends!

Happy Thursday!

I am on Craftin Desert Diva's blog today for another Throwback Thursday.  Today I am showcasing Busy Bees and Stamp It Big stamp sets along with Stitched in Circle Dies.  

Here is what I created.....

I started off watercoloring stripes for my background on watercolor paper using Tim Holtz's distress paint in black.  I stamped the flowers from the Busy Bees stamp set on the medium sized stitched circle from Stitched in Circle Dies onto watercolor paper.  I then colored the images using Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers.  I embossed the Happy Birthday sentiment from Say It Big stamp set.  I splattered the background and circle with black and gold paints.  I cut a black circle mat with my Cricut then die cut the large scallop die in pink from the Stitched in Circle dies.  Finishing off with a gold bow.

Craftin' Desert Diva's January Product Release Blog Hop Day 2

Welcome to the CDD January Stamp & Die Release Blog Hop. 

All stamps & Dies are in the CDD Shop and now available for purchase HERE.

Here's what I've created for you...

For my first card I used the Lovies stamp set.  I think these kitties are just so sweet!  I stamped them on 110lb white cs, then I masked them with a post it note, I diecut a circle with the Stitched in Circles dies in copy paper to make a mask for the hill of grass.  I then used my Tim Holtz's distress inks to blend the green grass and blue sky, spritzing with water afterwards to get the distressed look.  I colored the kitties with my Copic markers.  I used Fancy Frames dies to cut the mats.  For the kitties mat I used fun foam to pop them up on the card.

For my 2nd card I used the Popped Up mini stamp set.

I stamped the cute lil gopher on watercolor paper then I used Lyra Aquacolor crayons to color in the hill and sky, I then went over it with a wet brush to blend.  I used Fancy Frames dies for the mat and the In Line dies for the 'thanks' diecut, which I cut directly from the watercolor paper.  To pop it up I cut 5 more 'thanks' in reg white cardstock and layered them underneath.  I colored the lil gopher with Zig Clean Color Real Brush watercolor pens.  Stamped the sentiment with Versafine onyx black ink.  To finish off the card I added the new Pink Heart Sequins and added a ribbon from my stash.
