Watercolor with Stamps

Hi, everyone and welcome! Today I'm over on the Craftin Desert Divas blog bringing you the daily post. I'm using Botanical Layers Stamps to achieve a watercolor look on these cards. I've included a tutorial on this technique, and I think you will be surprised how easy it is.

Sending Get Well Wishes

Hi, everyone! Today I'm over on the CDD Blog bringing you the Daily post featuring Wishful Thoughts Stamps and Flowers In Bloom Stamps. I decided that I wanted to create a Get Well card and thought this was the perfect time to use these beautiful Orchids. 

I've been using my SVG Outlines a lot lately to build shaker cards, and I decided to run with that technique once again. I have to say I'm kind of loving the end result. This method is so easy, once your SVG Outlines merged into your designer software, size it accordingly. I change the size of my mat to 4.25in. X 5.5in., the same size as my card base. By doing this, you can determine exactly where you want your cutout. I usually center mine so that I can use a die-cut like the Fancy Frame Dies. You will be surprised how quickly this card comes together.

Bubblegum, Bubblegum. In A Dish...

Hi, everyone! Welcome to the CDD Daily Post being brought to you by The Relativity of Paper. What do you get when you mix Craftin Desert Divas Shake It Up Dies with a childhood rhyme from a game? A fun birthday card. 

 Do you remember Bubblegum, Bubblegum in a dish?
You would stand in a circle, fist out; the counter would tap everyone's fist including their own (this usually required the counter to tap their chest because that was the cool thing to do), the person you ended on picked a number 1 through 20, then the counter started tapping everyone's fist while counting to said number. Whichever fist the counter ended on was out, and you would put your hand behind your back, both fists out meant you lose! Oh, times were so much easier, right?

The inside sentiment reads: 

We hope all your bubble gum wishes come true. Happy Birthday!

Here are the products I used:

CARD BASE:

• 4.25"x 5.5" card base - 8.5" x 11" #110 cardstock scored at 5.5" and cut at 4.25" to create to top fold card bases

LAYERS:

• Die-cut pink patterned paper using largest Fancy Frame Die
• Die-cut yellow patterned paper using Shake It Up Dies
• Die-cut bottom half of bubble gum machine with matching patterned papers and silver cardstock
• Type sentiment on white cardstock and die-cut using Flag Banner Dies

ASSEMBLE:

• Add fun foam to the back of pink patterned paper and adhere to card base
• Position die-cut circle 
• Add 3D Mounting Foam to back of bottom portion of machine and adhere to card base being sure to align with circle to create your bubble gum machine, add die-cut details to finish off the machine
• Adhere bubblegum either using die-cut circles from the Shake It Up Dies or using Puffy Stickers like I did here

October Birthday Card

Hi and welcome, everyone! Lisa from, The Relativity of Paper, sharing a fun October Birthday card with you. I used Sweet Kisses and Fright Night Stamp Sets to create this card for a special October Birthday. 

 By adding a few holiday elements and changing your colors, you can create a birthday card for any holiday or season.  I have to say I pile it on with this card which is so out of my comfort zone. I'm pretty pleased with the outcome and will be trying my hand at it again. Do you like piling it on or keeping it simple?
