♥ Craftin Desert Divas - My last two cards as a Design Team member ♥

Hi everybody,
I wish you a happy Wednesday and I'm really happy to see you here again on my blog.♥

Today I show two cards with Craftin Desert Divas new Digital release, the Summer Games Digital Stamps. 
I also let you know that these cards are my last cards as a Design Team member for Craftin Desert Divas.

For the first card I create a light bubble background stripe with the Bokeh Technique. I inked a piece  of Bristol Smooth cardstock and ink the paper with Distess Oxide Tumbled Glass. Then I made my own circle stencil with some circle Dies from Craftin Desert Divas. I inked the background with Distress Oxide Peacock Feathers and an white pigment ink and let it dry. In the meantime I printed out my image from the Summer Games Digital Stamps. I color it with my Copics and fussy cut it out with my scissors.

Then I cut out a white background with the Fancy Frame Dies and glue a stripe from the Bokeh background in the middle of my white panel. Then I glue it on my card base. I glue the image with Foam Tape on my card. Then I stamp the sentiments from the Wishful Thoughts Stamp Set on the card. For the final touch I add some clear drops with the Nuvo Crystal Drops Morning Dew as some more bubbles on the card.

For my second card I decide to create a one layer card. I create a background with the Hill Scene 2 Stencil. I use the Distress Oxide Tumbled Glass and Salty Ocean for the sky background. For the grass I use Distress Oxide Twisted Citron. I cut it out with the Fancy Frame Dies and glue it on my card base. Then I decide to cut out another border for the grass with the Outdoor Landscape 2 Dies and glue it on the background.

I color the image from the Summer Games Digital Stamps with my Copics. I use my Misti Tool to stamp the sentiment from the Happy Sentiments Stamp Set directly on my card. Finally I cut out some clouds with the Puffy Cloud Die and glue it on my card.

So I'll hope you like these cards. You'll find the new Summer Games Digital Stamp here in the shop.

As you read on top of this posting, are these cards my last cards as a Design Team member for Craftin Desert Divas Digital Design Team. I've decided to step down from the team. I was until nearly two years in the Digital Design Team and I think it's time to go. It was really a fantastic time and I really love to work for Craftin Desert Divas, but it's time for changes. I would like to say Thank You so much Tara for this great journey over the last two years with Craftin Desert Divas. I wish you all the best for the future.♥

 Many thanks for stopping by and I hope to see you soon here on my blog. Have a great day.♥

♥ Clearly Besotted - Birthday Card with On Your Day Stamp ♥

Hi everybody,

I wish you a happy Thursday and I'm really glad to see you here again on my blog.♥

Because my stock of birthday cards is almost empty I show you today another new birthday card. For this card I use the On Your Day Stamp and the Diamond Lattice Stencil from Clearly Besotted.

I started first to create my background. I use a peace of Bristol Smooth Cardstock and inked it with Distress Oxide Tumbled Glass. Then I lay the Diamond Lattice Stencil from Clearly Besotted over the cardstock, inked it with Distress Oxide Peacock Feathers and let it dry. After my background is dry I cut it out with Craftin Desert Divas Inside Scalloped Rectangle Dies. Then I cut out a white frame with the largest Die from the Inside Scalloped Rectangle Dies, glue it on my background and then on my card base.

Now I stamp the flowers from Clearly Besotted On Your Day Stamp Set and color it with my Copic Markers. After my coloring is done I fussy cut out the flowers with my scissors. For more dimension I glue the flowers with Foam Tape on the card. For the sentiment from the Blossoms in Bloom Stamps I use a banner from Craftin Desert Divas Flag Banner Dies Set and glue it also with Foam Tape on my card. For the final touch I glue some Clear Drops from Studio Katia on my card.

So I'll hope you like my new birthday card and enjoy this posting.

♥ Creative with Stamps - CH #38 Baby ♥

Hi everybody, 
I wish you a happy Thursday and I'm really glad to see you here again on my blog.♥

Since yesterday we have a new challenge at
Creative with Stamps

 For this challenge we choose the theme Baby, so hop over to the blog and let yourself be inspired.

Sponsor for this challenge:

Stamprints Digital Stamps

(3 images)

My hubby asked me if I can create a baby card for a colleague, so it's perfect for this challenge. I decided to create a special card with more then one image and so I decided to create a Joy Fold card.

On the front of the card I use a Digital Stamp from Whimsy Stamp and color it with my Copic Markers. Then I cut it out with a die from My favorite Things.

If you open the ribbon you find another image. For this side I use the stork from Magnolia. I use also my Copics for coloring and cut it out with a Tag Die.

On the next side I use two images from Lili of the Valley. Did you know that you can buy these cuties as a Digital Stamp? Here you'll find the LotvDigiShop.♥

And this is the inside of the card. Here I use a image from Craftin Desert Divas. On the right blue cardstock is enough space for the signatures from all colleagues. I decorate the card with Dies from Craftin Desert Divas, Joy Crafts and some Rhinestones. 

So I'll hope you like this card and I could inspire you to join our challenge.♥
