Give The Gift of Pictures with Craftin Desert Divas

Hi and welcome, everyone! For today's CDD daily post I want to show you a fun way to combine three stamp sets and create a unique gift. Using Bitty Blessings, Capture The Good Times, and Picture That Stamp Sets I created this card with one thought in mind, the gift of pictures. As I sit here and write this post, I realize the many different ways this can be used.  Give a gift certificate to the local photography studio, gift a camera or a scrapbook. See, the possibilities? 

I love using different stamp sets to create one card. I feel like I'm  getting my monies worth then.

I don't do a lot of no-line coloring, so I thought this would be an excellent opportunity to give it a go. 

I like the look of it with this particular card. While this card is very fun and whimsical, the no-line coloring keeps the feel of the photo real, as real as it can. You could even take this a step further and add a background to the picture. 

I use the Picture That Stamp Set for so many things. It's on my favorites list.

Here are the products I used:

STEP BY STEP TUTORIAL

This card is super easy to create. 

1. Cut a 4.25" x 5.5" white card base

2. Cut a 4" x 5.25" piece of vellum and adhere to card base

3. Die-cut white cardstock with largest scalloped Fancy Frame Die

4. Stamp largest photo frame from the Picture That Stamp set with pink ink

5. Stamp bow with pink ink from the Bitty Blessings Stamp Set inside the photo frame

6. Stamp baby from the Bitty Blessings Stamp Set with a very light ink

7. Color image with COPICS   

Skin: E000, E00, E04, E11 

Bow: RV17, RV55

8. Fussy cut photo frame 

9. Cut black cardstock  to 2.125" x 2.375" and adhere to back of stamped image, use 3D Foam to adhere to card

10. Stamp sentiment and add Sprinkles to finish.

GET CREATIVE CHALLENGE #8

RED, WHITE AND PINK

Here's my take on Red, White and Pink 

for the new challenge starting over 

Get Creative. I must confess that I really wanted 

this to be layer on top of layer of awesomeness.

However, I have come to terms with the fact 

that is not my craft style! Boo!

Moving forward.

I had the pleasure of working with 

Eleanor and Pickles Fishing for Love 

by 

Lacy Sunshine!

I colored the image with my COPICS, die cut with Spellbinders

circles, layered it on PTI Valentine paper on white cardstock.

The alpha stickers are from Jillibean Soups Hearty Barley 

Collection.

Lacy Sunshine is 

sponsoring this challenge.

Now it's your turn to show us 

your take on 

RED, WHITE AND PINK.

let it go! I know, it's tough, but you can do it!

I had the pleasure of using Baby Bears Butterfly Digi

I made a card using three different 

design papers by Martha Stewart, it's so old I don't 

remember the name of it! 

I punched three butterflies and three pennants.

I added three pearls to each butterfly.
