Hi Stampers,
I used the Cut Away Card Technique but with a twist--I turned it to landscape. Just a little experimenting with it, so I went with it. I also like the embossed end pieces for continuity of the "waves".
I hope you like it!! Remember to place the Lilypad Bundle in your shopping cart today!!!
Thanks for stopping by!!
Hi Stampers,
Welcome back for a DOStamper Stars Thursday Challenge. What a tongue twister in the title. Say that fast 10 times. LOL Today's challenge we are using one or more of the 10 new colors showcased in our Annual Catalog. I am using the gorgeous Balmy Blue.
Keeping with my challenge this week, I used Lilypad Lake to make a fun fold card called Diorama Tunnel Card. The best part of making these types of cards you can embellish lightly or heavily. It justs depends on what you like!! I also love the sentiment for this card. It pairs well with a water scene.
From the top:
I used an extra die cut of the herron to give it a shadow effect.
I used the beach and sand flecks stamps from the Waterfront stamp set.
I used the circle cut out from the inside for the front of the card
I can see myself making more of these cards in the future.
Hi Stampers,
Have you ever wanted to try something out of the ordinary? Well I did. I used my acrylic block as the stamp. I have seen many cards done this way and thought what the heck, I'm going to give it a try. I'm trying to step out of my comfort zone trying new techniques and such. I think I need some work but it isn't terrible. After all, I have to keep telling myself "it's only paper."
Have you ever tried this technique? If not, maybe you should give it a try.
Thanks for stopping by!!!
Hi Stampers,
Back for another DOStamper Stars Thursday Challenge. We are to showcase the Holiday Products. When I first looked at the catalog, the Night in Bethlehem was immediately #1 on my list. It was a must have for me. The Edgelit dies cut out intricate shapes and in my opinion it is just gorgeous!!! I know this will be a favorite of mine for a long time to come. If you peruse Pinterest like I do, you should have seen the Eclipse Technique. It is where you die cut out words, or in my case, numbers. You then pop them up on dimensionals and put the die cut back in the cut to make an eclipse. I want the letter framelits so bad but I used what I had which are the numbers. I envisioned something different but it turned out okay. I am tired from work and it shows. LOL I was measuring it wrong -- twice!!!; put the die cut on crooked!!; put adhesive on the wrong side of the die cut..... I should have just called it a night but I didn't. I just kept cutting out the same thing. LOL I hope this happens to other stampers!!!
I definitely want to play around with different colors and sketches with this set. Hopefully I will get some time this weekend and be able to post soon.
Remember, if you would like to recreate this card for yourself, you can order all the supplies in my online store.
My great niece Harlow was baptized a couple of weeks ago and I forgot to post the card I sent. They live in Kansas and my nephew (Harlow's Dad) is stationed in the Army (he's holding her). He was in Kuwait since she was a week old. We are so glad he is home and gets to be with his family again.
When I was making this card, I didn't intend to use so many retired items but sometimes you have to use up what you have.
