Somebunny Loves You Theme Week- Day 3

4:00 AM

Hello DeNami Friends!

Today, I've got a card that is perfect for a good friend! I really love the sentiments in DeNami's Heartfelt Blessings stamp set, and I love how my card came together.

Here's how I created my card:

I stamped the Bunny Trail Trio stamp on a piece of white cardstock. I also drew a circle using a pencil and circle die to create my sun.
I stamped the bunny tail trio again onto a piece of post it sticky note, then cut it out to create a mask.
Using more post it notes, I hand cut a hill mask keeping both sides of the post it note to mask both the hills and sunset sky. I also die cut a circle (the same circle I used to draw my sun) out of another post it note to create a mask for the sun.
First, to create my hill, I used the top portion of my hill mask, to mask off the bunnies, sun, and sky. I also placed the bunny mask over the stamped bunnies. Then, I blended some green ink, creating a hill.
I removed the top portion of the mask. Then, I placed the circle mask above the image, covering up the circle that I drew. I also took the hill mask, and covered my hill with it. Then, I blended 2 orange inks creating a sunset sky. I removed all the masks, revealing a white sun and white bunnies.
I colored in the bunnies and the sun with markers. I also added some clear glitter marker over the sun image, making it sparkle.
I stamped the sentiment on my hill with Versamark ink, and heat set with gold embossing powder.
Next, I die cut a rectangle out of a piece of floral patterned paper.
Then, I die cut a smaller rectangle out of my colored piece. I attached this to the patterned paper using thin foam squares.
I wrapped some twine around both rectangles, tying it into a bow. Then attached the whole thing to a white card base using foam tape.
To finish off my card, I added some sequins.

Thanks for stopping by! Be sure to come back tomorrow to see Jeanin's bunny card.

Same Cards Three Ways Day 1

4:00 AM

Hello, DeNami Friends!

It’s Lisa P. This week our design team is featuring either three cards with the same stamps OR the same card in three colors. I chose the second option.

I really enjoy making multiples of cards---especially when I create a design that I really love. I find that making the first card always takes me quite a bit of time, but then I can make additional ones pretty quickly after that. I’m always in need of birthday cards, so I decided to pair up the NEW CL-D187 Celebrating You sentiment with my favorite butterfly from DeNami Design.

Once I decided on my layout, these cards were very simple to put together. I took an A2 white card base and stamped the J16 Small Splatter image in the upper-left and lower-right corners. I die-cut two stitched rectangles (one from patterned paper and one from white cardstock). On the white panel, I stamped the butterfly, the little swirl and the sentiment and then used markers to add some simple brushes of color to the butterfly. I layered the stamped panel to the patterned paper, placing some silver thread in between. I die-cut a file folder tab from polka dot paper and adhered that to the back of my layered panels. I attached the focal point to the card front and added some sparkle with a glitter pen.

Here’s a look at the same card in two additional colors:

I had so much with this project and can’t wait to snail mail these cards to several friends who have Springtime birthdays!!

Thanks for visiting!

Get Well and Sympathy Cards

7:48 AM

Hi DeNami friends,

Lately, I have heard of so many people going through some rough waters. We feel helpless, but want to share our love and prayers with them. As stampers, the best way we know how is to express that love through our art in cards. The love and care that goes into cards can be felt by the recipient.

Today, Lisa shares some lovely cards you can make for those you care about. They can be used for Get Well or Sympathy cards. You can change out the colors to suit the person you give it to, but these are great go-to cards for these times.

Hello, DeNami Design friends! It’s Lisa P. here. Does anyone else struggle when trying to create sympathy cards? I sure do. For me, they are the most difficult cards to make. Today I’m sharing three sympathy cards that feature a couple of the sentiments from the newly released CR04 Heartfelt Blessings Stamp Set. These gorgeous hand-lettered sentiments pair up beautifully with many of DeNami Design’s images and are perfect for sending thoughts, prayers and strength to anyone who is going through a tough time.
