Grateful Card

» 25 September, 2015 » Big Shot, Cards, Clean & Simple, Fall » 0 comments

Stamp with Dara: Grateful Card

The sentiment, “grateful” was cut using the Seasonal Frame thinlits from the Holiday Catalog.

The background of the card base was stamped using the leaf image from A Little Something stamp set, and the yellow leaf patterned paper is from the Into the Woods DSP collection.

I added texture to the thin strip of Rich Razzleberry card stock using the Essentials Paper Piercing Pack.

Measurements: Rich Razzleberry 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″ & 1/4″ x 3 3/4″, Into the Woods DSP 3″ x 4 1/4″, Old Olive 2 1/4″ x 4″, Whisper White 2″ x 3 3/4″, Early Espresso 1 1/2″ x 3 1/2″

Your Presents Birthday Card

Stamp with Dara: Your Presents Birthday Card

This card was made using Your Presents stamp set, and the sentiment is from the set called Crazy About You.

Although this stamp set is featured in the Holiday Catalog as a Christmas stamp set, I chose to use the Christmas packages as birthday gifts to show how this set can be used for more than one occasion.

The patterned papers are from the Cherry on Top DSP Stack.

Measurements: Bermuda Bay 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″, Cucumber Crush 2 7/8″ x 4 3/8″, Whisper White 3″ x 3″ and 2 5/8″ x 4 1/8″, Polka Dot pattern 4″ x 4 1/2″, Large Dots pattern 1 1/4″ x 4″

Hello Autumn Card

» 18 September, 2015 » Cards, Clean & Simple, Fall » 0 comments

Stamp with Dara: Hello Autumn Card featuring Cheer All Year stamp set

Cheer All Year is a versatile stamp set that can be used throughout the Fall and Winter seasons.  It includes an image and sentiment for each holiday (Halloween, Fall, and Christmas).

I chose to keep this card very CAS (clean and simple). It’s the perfect project for new stampers or even the avid crafter that just needs something ready to go in under 5 minutes.

The color combination for this card is Rich Razzleberry, Early Espresso, Old Olive, and Tangelo Twist.

I cut the feathers out with scissors (sigh…no framlits for this set) 😉 Then I adhered the feather with dimensionals to Whisper White card stock.

Measurements: Rich Razzleberry 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″, Early Espresso 3 1/4″ x 4 1/2″, Whisper White 3″ x 4 1/4″

The use of Vellum Card Stock and White Embossing Powder create an elegant look. The snowflakes were heat embossed using the Heat Tool.

The card is embellished with Iced Rhinestones and Rhinestones.
