Have An Awesome Birthday & Hello My Friend

Our design team members, Caryn and Yainea, are on the blog today with two really cute cards.  

Caryn created this first card using some of our fun patterned papers and our Stoked stamps and dies.  I love how she personalized the card by stamping the name of the recipient on the front!  What a nice added touch.

Supplies:

Stoked Clear Stamps

Stoked Elle-ments Dies

Elle's Alpha's Clear Stamps

Everyday Paper Collection

Fog Dye Ink pad

I love how Yainea perched the owl on the die cut hello from our Sentimental Die Set in this next card.  It looks so cute across the top of the scalloped heart shaker window.  The gradient of green color is lovely and anchors the sentiment and owl.  This is fantastic! 

Supplies:

Sentimental Clear Stamps

Sentimental Die

A Tag For All Die

A Cute Stork and Flowers!

Happy Friday!  I have some fun cards by Karolyn and Katie to show you today.  Let's get our weekend off to the right start and check them out!

This first card by Karolyn is the cutest.  I love how the stork looks flying over the city.  What a cute and clever combination of sets!

Supplies:

Special Delivery Elle-Ments Dies

Super Clear Stamps

Super Elle-Ments Dies

Hats, Party Animals & A Unicorn

I just love what Elena and Heather have for us on the blog today.  

Elena created this first card and it is just too cute.  I love how she framed the cute Unicorn inside the burst die cut frame.  The cloud border and sentiment banner finish off the card perfectly!

Supplies:

Be a Unicorn Clear Stamps

Be a Unicorn Elle-ments Dies

Burst Elle-ments Dies

Pierced Clouds Elle-ments Dies

Heather created these next two cards.  I love how the whimsical hats look flying through the air in this first card.  One trick is to stamp, color and then die cut the all of the images at one time.  Place the die cuts on the card front and move them around until you get a look that you like.  Take a quick picture with your phone or camera so that you remember where you had everything and then glue them down.  I find that by using this process I am much happier with my cards.  This one is terrific!

 

Supplies:

Hats Off Clear Stamps

Hats Off Dies

Finished Frames Dies

This next card by Heather is simple yet cute.  I love how those party balloons look against the cloud background.  Some of you may recognize this as a Make N Take from CHA.  Stamping our pigment inks on coordinating colors of card stock is a quick and easy way to create colored two toned images like Heather did here.  :)
