Welcome to DIAMOND PRESS! My first set of cards using DP Stamps and Dies!

 Happy Saturday everyone! Today, I'm sharing a bunch of cards I made using Diamond Press Stamps and Dies.

Although several sets are sold out, there are still some available.

Also, when ordering from their website, shipping on anything is FREE (even if you only order 1 thing)!! You can't beat that! An extra bonus: follow VianneyCreates on YouTube, and then you can use code VCDP for an extra 19% off.

Rachelle Anne Miller: PENGUIN HUG

 Happy Saturday friends! My card today features a Rachelle Anne Miller digi called PENGUIN HUG. And if you are like me, then there have probably been several times this year that you really needed one. I can't wait for the day when I can hug all my friends and family!

Copics:
Mama Penguin: C00, C0, C1, C3, C5, C7, C9, C10

Penguin Beak: YR02, YR04, YR09, E19
Baby Penguin: C1, C3, C5, C7
Scarf: BG11, BG32, BG72, BG75/ RV02, RV04, RV06, RV09

Bird: YR02, YR04, C1, C0, W3, W5

Sky: Stormy Weather Distress Oxide Ink
Ground: Weathered Wood Distress Oxide Ink

I kept the scene clean and simple by cutting a circle from a scrap sheet of paper to lay around the image so I could rub Distress Oxide ink over stencils creating the circle landscape. I matted the card panel with black cardstock and adhered it to a white 5.5 x 5.5 card base. The decorative corners were created using a Whimsy Die. 

 I hope you come join us on the Rachelle Anne Miller Digital Stamps Facebook Group to share your fabulous creations! Be sure to subscribe to her newsletter because she will have special sales throughout the year just for email subscribers! 

 Remember, the prices in her store are in Australian dollars so if you live in the United States you will pay a lower amount.

 

Have a great weekend!

Conie Fong: GNOME SWEETHEARTS WITH DOGS

 Happy Friday friends! So to brighten everyone's day....I give you PUPPIES! I mean seriously, how can you not be happy surrounded by adorable puppies? I love how fluffy they are! These cuties are part of the Gnome Sweethearts with Dogs Digital Set from Conie Fong. I love the Gnome couple, but I just had to start off showcasing these fabulous puppies first!

Copics:
Puppy 1: N2, N4
Puppy 2: C00, C0, C1, C5, C6, C8, C10
Puppy 3: E21, E23, E25

I printed the puppies on Copic Xpress It Blending Card and colored them up. I felt like they needed a background so I inked up some grass and sky using Distress Oxide Ink. The sentiment is from My Favorite Things Friends Furever.

 
If you create any cards using Conie Fong stamps, please stop by the Conie Fong Art and Design Facebook Page to enter the challenges. There are always two a month....one coloring challenge and one card challenge. 

Hugs,

Dies R Us: It's Cold Outside

Happy Tuesday everyone! How is everyone surviving the polar vortex that hit our country? I live in Oklahoma and it was soooooooo cold here! We are not equipped to handle multiple days of snowy weather and below zero temperatures. I'm so thankful we didn't lose our electricity! When I saw this Memory Box die called Stitched Circle Snowman, I was inspired to create a winter shaker card. 

 

Let's get started!

 Step 1: I cut my white cardstock to 3.75 x 5. Then I laid the die on top of my paper and cut it out. I love this die because it adds a stitched circle border and just cuts out the center area leaving the entire card intact.

 
Step 2: I cut a clear sheet of acetate just a tad bit smaller than my card panel (3.5 x 4.75) and glued it on the backside of the card panel.

 

 
Step 3: Now, you will want to pick out your sentiment and stamp it before adding your foam tape to the back. I forgot to add the sentiment so my pictures are out of order. If you add your foam tape before you stamp your sentiment, then just be sure to reinforce the area you are going to stamp on with extra foam tape so it provides a firm surface to stamp on. I used the sentiment from Lawn Fawn's Winter Alpaca because it is definitely cold outside!

 

Step 4: Next, add your foam tape. You will want to add the foam tape close to the stitched circle border so your shaker elements stay within the circle area. Otherwise, they will fall below the snowdrift and you won't be able to see them.

 

 

Step 5: Next, cut a piece of decorative paper just a little smaller than your card panel so you can enclose your shaker pieces after you add them. 

 

 

Step 6: I framed the card with more decorative paper cut to 4 x 5.25. Then I adhered the entire thing to my card base which measure 4.25 x 5.5.

 

 

These are the products I used:

Memory Box Stitched Circle Snowman Die

Lawn Fawn Winter Alpaca Stamps (sentiment)

 
Art Glitter Glue or Best Glue Ever

Fineline Applicator

Scor-Tape

Rachelle Anne Miller: VALENTINE BEAR

Happy Saturday friends! My card today features a Rachelle Anne Miller Digi called VALENTINE BEAR. Isn't he the sweetest bear ever? I know he was created for Valentine's Day, but you can really use this cute bear any time throughout the year! 

Copics:
Bear: E40, E41, E42, E43, E44
Purple: V12, V15, V17
Light Pink: R81, R83, R85
Dark Pink: RV02, RV04, RV06, RV09
Blue: BG10, BG000

I recently found my DYMO Embossing Label Maker and will be using it a lot more often. I love using it for part of the sentiment ,and then focusing on one word in the sentiment and using die-cut letters to emphasize that word. I used the Diamond Press Alphabet Dies-Block Set to create the word HEART.

The Greeting Farm Digital Stamp Feature: Store Fronts, Cheeky Shop, and Valentine Sayings

 Happy Friday everyone! Today, I am featuring two cards using the new Digital Stamp Sets that were released at The Greeting Farm on February 1st. The Digital Stamp Team has already showcased these amazing sets earlier in the month, but there is even more inspiration for you today on The Greeting Farm Blog.

I know some of you have dived into digital stamps, but some of you are intimidated. The one thing I love about the digis at The Greeting Farm (especially the scene ones) is that when you purchase the file, Marie includes a summary sheet of all the elements proportionately sized. If you don't know how to overlay images in MS Word or another editing program, then all you have to do is print the summary sheet and do some fussy cutting! For this card, I combined Store Fronts and Cheeky Shop.

Copics:
Skin: E00, E01, E02, E11, E13, E04
Hair: E21, E23, E25, E47
Red: R24, R27, R29, R56, R89
Teal: BG32, BG72, BG75, BG78
Pink: R81, R83, R85

Purple. V04, V12, V15, V17, BV08
Gold Paint Marker

I created a 2nd card to use the Valentine Sayings Digis. I know the day is over, but there are also love sentiments included so this set can be used all year long. I paired the digital quotes with some girl stamps from MINKIE FRIENDS.

 

 

Be sure to head over to The Greeting Farm Store and grab your favorites. You're going to LOVE them all! And please join The Greeting Farm Fan Page to share you creations. We would love to see them!

 

Hugs,

Rosie

Jaded Blossom February 2021 Release: Sneak Peek Day 4

 Happy Thursday everyone! Today is Day 4 of Sneak Peeks for the Jaded Blossom February Release!  If you LOVE everything you have seen so far this week, then you definitely want to purchase the Gotta Have it Now Package, which will return to the Jaded Blossom Store on Friday. 

For my project today, I created a card using a couple of stamps from the set, along with the Month Word Dies. I first stamped the F-word and notepad image using Versamark and heat embossed them in Gold Embossing Powder. Then I die-cut March and November from the Month Word Dies, cut the letters apart, and pieced them together to form the word cancer.

I've had a few family members pass away from cancer, and within the past few years I've had friends who were diagnosed with cancer. And if this doesn't truly capture how we feel about it, then I don't know what does. It really breaks my heart to see friends and family suffer through this horrible disease. I love you all and pray for healing!

Jaded Blossom February 2021 Release: Sneak Peek Day 3

 Happy Wednesday everyone! Today is Day 3 of Sneak Peeks for the Jaded Blossom February 2021 Release, which is all about our love for ART and CRAFTING! This release is a lot of fun, and if you are a collector like me then you need all of it!

For my project today, I used Distress Oxide Ink with the Torn Tape Stencil on a 6x6 canvas for a home decor piece. 

 

 

The tag was created using the Handmade with Care Stamps. I stamped the rolls of washi tape with Versamark, and added gold embossing powder. Next, I colored in the tape rolls with Copic Markers. I fussy cut it out and added it to the Treat Tag Die with foam tape. I didn't have a clear bag that was big enough to hold the canvas as a gift so for the photo I just laid the tag on top of the canvas.

 

 

I colored one of the torn tape strips aqua blue and then used a gold paint pen to add dots. The sentiment BE UNIQUE was created with a DYMO Embossing Label Maker.
