Guest Designer- Amy Tsuruta "Don't Worry Be Happy"
Hi Friends,
Today, we have the privilege of having a Seattle designer join us on the blog. Her name is Amy Tsuruta and she is co-founder of the Coffee Loving Cardmakers Blog, a papercrafting blog that incorporates the love of anything coffee/tea with cardmaking.
She will be joining us these next few weeks to show us how she uses DeNami for her unique cardmaking style. This week's theme is All About Layers and her card is not exception. She uses various layers to create her fun and crafty card. This card design would be great for using up those scraps you have around.

This freestyle card is also good if you are one of those that have a hard time centering or lining up layers. There is no wrong way to do this card. If you notice, she has a layer using a recipe. How fun is that?!
Be sure to check out tomorrow's post to see Jeanin's layered project. See you then!

I live in the beautiful state of Washington
and work part-time for a Seattle biotech company. I’ve always been crafty
but discovered Stampin’ Up in the early 2000’s. I started my
Splitcoaststampers gallery in 2005 and eventually started blogging in 2007.
I love the Paper Crafting Community! I’ve met so many fabulous
friends, online and in real life.

Guest Blogger- Sharna Waksmulski with another Happy Card
Hello Everyone!
I am back again with another guest
post for you today! I have a second card for you today using those happy
donuts! I mean aren't they just adorable? I thought it would be fun to
show another way to use them.
I used the Pretty Pink Posh filmstrip die
to create my focal point using a dark denim blue to really make it pop
against the background. Once I had them stamped and colored, I attached
the whole thing to a few layers of colored paper from my stash. I really
like the green and blue combo with the pops of color. The sentiment I
stamped and cut a banner end and curled it up just a bit to give it some
added dimension. It wasn't standing out enough so I added a few more
strips of paper in coordinating colors to match the background.
Hope you
enjoyed my card!

Hello! Happy to be Guest blogging today!
I
love using smaller images to create an all over background design so
that my sentiment can take center stage. I used bright and happy copic
colors to color in my little happy donuts. (B124 Happy Donut) I cut out a
little banner to use for my sentiment and stamped it but I didn't feel
like it stood out enough so I used a purple copic marker around the edge
to really make it stand out. Lastly I finished off the design using
some Pretty Pink Posh sequins. I hope you like it!

I'm Canadian Born but moved to Chicago when I was 10. I have a
degree in photography from Columbia College and really loved to do
anything artistic. I stumbled on card making by accident but really got
into because the community was so encouraging and welcoming. Even after
having my first child I found crafting and card making really helped me
relax and get back in tune with myself.

Week of Coffee/Tea and Donuts Day 4
Hello DeNami Friends!
To include a little bit more color I chose solid circle stamps in different sizes and stamped them in three different green colors on my white panel. I also used a larger outline circle stamp and stamped it on the coffee and donut image so it looks like a frame.
To finish my card I die cut the white panel with a stitched rectangle die and adhered it to a slightly larger green piece of cardstock. Everything was then adhered to a top-folded note card.
This
time I want to show you a card featuring thie cute Coffee and Donut
stamp by DeNami Design. I started off stamping the cute image in the
center of the card. I also used an alphabet set to stamp the sentiment
"COFFEE?!" directly below the image. Then I colored in the cup of coffee
and the donut with alcohol markers and embellished the frosting of the
donut with clear drying, shimmery glue.

Week of Coffee/Tea and Donuts Day 3
I Heart Coffee!
Hello DeNami Friends!
Today, I've
got an I heart coffee [and donut] card for you! I absolutely cannot
function without my morning coffee! LOL! What about you? Are you a
coffee drinker or a tea lover?
To make my
card: First, I stamped the D186 coffee and donut stamp on white
cardstock with Memento ink. I also stamped the "I heart" and "coffee"
stamps from the CRM02 cafe clear stamp set right beneath
my image. I colored in the coffee cup and donut with markers. Then, I
die cut the stamped image with first a rectangle die, and then a
stitched tab die at the top. I also die cut a piece of red cardstock
with a rectangle die and the stitched tab die. I
wanted to emphasize the heart theme, so I pulled out a tiny heart
stencil, some texture paste, and my palette knife to create a fun
textured background on the red cardstock. While I set that aside to
dry, I prepared my card base. I added a piece of craft
cardstock onto the white card base. Then I adhered the red heart
piece, and then the coffee stamped piece with some foam tape. To finish
off my card, I added a piece of twine tied into a bow, and some clear
sequins.
I really hope you like my card! Don't you feel like you need to go out and get a yummy donut to go with your coffee?!!!

Week of Coffee/Tea and Donuts Day 2
Hello DeNami Friends!
This week is coffee and donut themed and I have to be honest, I don’t like coffee so it was hard for me to get inspired. I looked on Pinterest and other blogs for inspiration and nothing was striking me. I was starting to panic! What should I make?! What will I do?! I talked with Nami and she gave me a few ideas to get my creative juices flowing. Thanks, Nami! I went through my previous projects and decided to remake a previous card but make it for coffee lovers. So here you go you crazy coffee lovers, this is just for you!
This is the original card:
This is the card remade for coffee lovers:
The card that I remade is the from the Same Card Three Ways post. Instead of using the Dot Border from the Retro Border set, I decided to use the Mini Coffee Cup stamp. I used a teal and brown dye ink for the stripes in card. Also, I replaced the balloon with the coffee cup but I kept the Happy Birthday script. The coffee cup was colored with Copic markers and I kept it simple by not doing any shading.
I hope that you enjoyed today's project. Until next time!

Week of Coffee/Tea and Donuts Day 1
Hello, DeNami Design Friends!
It’s
Lisa P. This week our DT projects are all about “Coffee/Tea and
Donuts”---a winning combination if you ask me! I love hot tea. My
current favorite is Bolder Breakfast from a local shop called The Tea
Spot. It’s a black tea with a hint of chocolate, and it’s divine! I also
love the glazed chocolate cake donuts at Dunkin’ Donuts. YUMMY!
My
brother’s birthday is coming up. He’s a big fan of Dunkin’ Donuts
(especially their coffee). So, for my project, I decided to make a gift
card holder to package up a Dunkin’ Donuts gift card as a little
surprise birthday treat for him.
I
stamped the “I need…” sentiment from the CRM02 Café Clear Stamp Set and
the NEW CL-D186 Coffee and Donut image onto a die-cut circle. I added
color with markers, a touch of sparkle with a glitter pen, and then
attached it to a gift card holder that I die-cut from double-sided
patterned paper. This was so simple to make, and I think it turned out
really great! I hope my brother likes it!
Thanks for visiting! Have a fantastic week!

Hi! My name is Lisa
Petrella. My husband, Tony, and I live in the beautiful foothills of
Colorado. We have a totally loveable 12 year old cat named Oliver James
and a super energetic 8 month old yellow lab named Pepper Ella. I’ve
been a part of the DeNami Design DT since December 2010, and I
absolutely love working with their fabulous products! Nami is an amazing
artist, and she and her family are truly some of the sweetest and most
genuine people I’ve ever met.
Being creative makes me happy, and I’m slightly
addicted to stamps, paper, and ink. I love to design and create cards,
tags, gift/treat packaging, and invitations. Some of my favorite
stamping techniques include heat embossing, paper piecing, and using
stamps to create patterns/backgrounds. One of my goals for 2016 is to
step out of my creative comfort zone and experiment with some new (to
me) techniques.
I
used to craft late into the night, but I’ve had to alter my schedule a
bit since we brought our puppy home last June. Now I squeeze my crafting
time in when the puppy is resting or out training in the field with
Tony. As a result, my studio time has been somewhat limited. However, I
have found that getting outside and hiking with Pepper every day
breathes new inspiration and energy into my life, which actually fuels
my creativity.

Hello,
DeNami Design friends! It’s Lisa P. Today I’m sharing a sweet little
Valentine’s Day card that features a couple of new stamps released by
DeNami Design last Friday and a few previously released images.
So…I’ve
been on a mission to totally clean-out and reorganize my craft studio.
It’s been a process (a very slow moving process), and along the way I’ve
uncovered quite a few stamps that have never seen ink before (gasp!).
The PF18 Veggies Stamp Set is one of those sets. So, when I saw it, I
started thinking about it. And as I thought more and more about it I
eventually came up with the idea to make it one of my “pairs” in a “We
go together like…” card. Here’s what I came up with:
I
printed the sentiment onto white cardstock using the Freestyle Script
Font in Microsoft Word. I cut the sentiment panel to 3.25” x 5.5” and
die-cut the stitching marks down the left-hand edge. I stamped my pairs
of images underneath the sentiment and colored them with markers.
I
took a blank, top-folding A2 card and masked off the section above the
fold line with post-it notes. Using the N128 Three Line Border stamp and
black ink, I created a plaid strip down the left-hand edge of my card.
First, I started at the top and worked my way down, angling the stamp
(like a forward slash / ). Then, I flipped my card upside down. I
started at the top and worked my way down, angling the stamp (like a
backslash \ ).
Creating
plaids with the N128 Three Line Border stamp is one of my favorite
things to do! You can keep the plaid design one color OR you can use two
or more colors. I even have a second N128 Three Line Border stamp in my
collection (and who knows…maybe even a third that I haven’t uncovered
yet…ha!) specifically for this purpose! That way I don’t have to keep
cleaning the stamp as often in between switching ink colors.
I stamped “Happy Valentine’s Day” on the inside of my card, but this would also make a super fun anniversary card!
I hope you like my creation for today! Thanks for visiting!
