Week of Spring- Day 3
Hello DeNami friends,
Today I want to share this unconventional spring card with you. I was not sure if I really wanted to include such a large black area in a spring card but decided that it created a nice contrast to the distressed stencil background and the cute owls.
I started off taping a circle/bubble stencil to my white paper and applied two green inks over it. I then cut the panel into place and die cut a black background panel. I also stamped the Owl Love Birds on white cardstock and colored them with watercolor markers. Instead of fuzzy cutting the owls I decided to cut a white strip.
To assemble the card I adhered everything together and also placed a few mint green sequins on the card.

Week of Spring- Day 2
Hello DeNami Friends!
Spring is finally here! Yeah! April showers are here and the flowers are starting to bloom, well if you don’t have deer like I do! Haha! For this week's project the theme is spring and I have been wanting to do a shaker card for a while now and I thought, "why not now?!" Not only is this card a shaker card but I also did watercolor for the card.
1) To make my card I created my watercolor panel first.
2) Next, I die cut it with a die that creates a frame and the main panel.
3) I stamped "happy birthday" in black and heat embossed it with clear embossing powder.
4) For the flowers and bugs, I used the Flower Patch and Bitty Bugs stamp sets.
5) I used a grey die ink so that it would be soft on the background.
6) Next, attach the acetate to the frame and then the foam adhesive.
7) After that, I attached the back panel to the card base and then placed my shaker bits on the back panel.
8) Last, I placed I attached the shaker window to the card base making sure that everything was lined up perfectly.
I hope that you like my project! Until next time!

Week of Spring- Day 1
Hello, DeNami Design Friends!
It’s Lisa P. This week our design team projects are all about Spring.
I’ve seen several dies and stamp sets on the market for creating floral wraps for bouquets of flowers. In fact, I have one of these combos on my wish list, but for now I decided to take a shot at making my own using supplies I already have. Here’s how it turned out:
What do you think???
Here’s what I did. I cut a piece of patterned paper to 4” x 4” and then die-cut two adjacent sides with a stitched scallop border. I scored from the fourth scallop, down to the point on each side as shown.
To finish I used a bone folder to fold the flaps over, snipped the pointy end to make it less pointy, and tied on some twine. Ta-da! Now I have a floral wrap to fill with whatever bouquet of flowers I want.
For this project I chose to create a bouquet of daisies. The J77 Large Daisy Blossom is super simple to fussy cut. I stamped and cut out three, grouped them together in my floral wrap and added some enamel dots to the center of each. I also created a little sentiment tag for the bouquet using the NEW CL-D187 Celebrating You stamp. Here’s a closer look:
I added my wrapped bouquet of daisies to a card front, but you could easily add it to a tag or gift box as well.
I’m planning to give this card to my sweet neighbor friend for her birthday this week. I hope she likes it!!!
Thanks for visiting!

Spring Flowers that Really Pop
Hi DeNami friends,
Easter and spring go together. New life, flowers and bright colors are a great change from the cold of winter. Here in Washington state, we have been enjoying some sunshine and it finally feels like winter is behind us.
Spring is my favorite season because of the newness of the weather change and anticipation of the outdoor adventures to come. Hello, DeNami Design friends! Lisa P. here to show you how popping up parts of your stamped images can be a fun and easy way to add a little pizzazz to your creations.

I have two Springtime cards to share with you today that demonstrate this
technique. The first is an A1-sized Easter card I created using CL-GD003 Spring
Flowers 1.
I stamped the images on my focal panel. Then, I stamped the flower portion
of the daffodil onto a separate piece of cardstock, colored it with markers, cut
it out, and adhered it over my focal panel image with a 3D foam square. I love
how this special little detail adds dimension and interest to an otherwise
simple card. Here’s a closer look:
For my second example, I used the same technique to create a colorful
birthday card.
I repeatedly stamped the Wavy Stem Trio and topped the stems with the
little daisy image from CL-GD003 Spring Flowers 1. I added a picket fence die
and grass border punch. Then, I stamped the flowers three times onto a separate
piece of cardstock, colored them with markers, cut them out, and adhered them
with foam squares on top of three of the flowers on my focal panel. Note: For
this example, I cut around the flowers instead of fussy cutting directly on the
stamped lines of each image. It’s much simpler, and it looks just as lovely (I
think). Here’s a closer look:
I hope you like my creations for today and feel inspired to try out this
simple technique!
Happy Stamping!

Easter Butterflies
Hi DeNami friends,
Happy spring!!! It is great to finally leave the cold winter and enter into the sunny days of spring. Spring is my favorite season of all. It the a new beginning of things. New flowers, new grass and fresh scents.
The wonderful thing about card making is you could be sending out cheer even while people are still facing winter right now. Today, Deb created a lovely and happy card using butterflies. I love her happy colors she chose. I don't use yellow as much as I like the color. I think I need to after seeing this lovely card.
She did a fantastic technique of repeating the scallops. It adds layers and really gives it a nice dimension. It is simple to do, but creates a great effect.
This is a card simple enough to send to all that need some cheer.

Here is how Deb made this. She writes:
Hello DeNami friends! It’s Deb and today I have a card to share with you. Spring is upon us in many states, so I decided to create a bright and simple spring inspired card.
First I trimmed up some white cardstock using one of my
Stitched 2 border dies from Pretty Pink Posh to create a few layers. Then, I
inked up Polka Dot Butterfly using the rock-n-roll technique. First I inked it
up in the lighter shade and then rolled it around on the edges in the darker
ink. I chose white cardstock, but you can also use kraft or another lighter
cardstock. I inked up Happy Easter for my sentiment, but you could also use
other various themes like birthday, thinking of you or congratulations. I tied
a bow at the top of the card to finish it off.
I
think the white cardstock paired with the bright colors creates a
cheerful card. I hope you have been inspired to create something bright
and cheerful as well. Thanks for stopping by the DeNami blog.
