Birthday Bear

Well here we are into May already. I can't believe how fast time goes by..

To create today's card, you will need to stamp the birthday bear image from Creative Vision's Hip Hip Hooray set on white card stock. I choose to color the birthday bear with Copic markers. Did you notice the oval emboss frame? You too can re-create this by using an oval photo mat. You will need to insert your white cardstock into an embossing folder of your choice, next layer on top of the folder your oval photo mat. Next, run the stack through a die cut machine. The center of the oval will be smooth which is perfect surface for stamping.

Today is Special

It's time for another Monday with D'Anne. I created an elegant Mother's day card to share with you today.

Stamp the sentiment 'today is Special just like you' from Creative Vision Hip Hip Hooray set on cream cardstock in black ink and then heat emboss. Next, layer the sentiment onto dark blue cardstock for added interest. The flowers were punched out of cream cardstock and then I used a soft pad and a score tool to give the flowers life.

I wanted to create a card which is different than the standard card size. This card is 4 x 8 which I embossed with the Swiss & Dot embossing folder leaving a small space smooth. This smooth space allowed me to stamp and emboss the sentiment 'Birthday Girl' from the Hip Hip Hooray Stamp set by Creative Vision.

Hey Lady

Okay, here's my take on the the sentiment 'I heard they're dusting off your old bar stool!' from the Creative Vision Officially Single stamp set. What do you think? Does the sentiment and elements work together?

Being on the Creative Design team we are not allow to use other companies stamps so, I used this punch art of a lady sitting with her back to a bar. I believe Ellen Kemper is the person who originally created this punch art.

Good morning everyone! D'Anne here. Grab yourself something to drink and set back and relax.
