It is a Pijama Party!!! Good Bye to CDD...

Hello CDD Fans Waleska here from craftinglovew, to share with you my last post as a Design Team Member... The theme for this week is "Not a card project" so I got creative inspired on the coming Pijama Party my daughter will be having this Friday!! She loves trolls, I used the Twinkle Twinkle stamp set, so she was thrilled with this little details for her party!!!  It is so fun to craft and even though I love making cards it is so refreshing to do different projects too...

PROJECT DETAILS:

To start this projects I cut a strip of white cardstock 16 x 25 cms to create the milk wrap, I used oxide inks to create the night sky in colors Peacock Feathers, Seedless Preserves and Black Soot.  To finish the night look I did some splashes with white paint to be the starts.  I adhere the cute girl troll in her pijamas in the center... (so adorable!!!!)

To create the box I used the Treat Bag Die, I cut the two pieces to ensemble the treat bag, and masked around the front of the bag to ink only the front.  I used the same colors I mention before to create the night sky and added white splashes and cute troll.  I am thinking on putting the names of my daughter´s friends on a small tag attached to the bag. What do you think??

I am also thinking on giving them my daughter´s favorite cookies and give them some chocolates inside the treat bag. Sweet enough???

I hope I inspire you to create some cute accesories for your parties!!!! I had the best time on the CDD Team, I learned a lot and made some amazing friends!!! Take care thank you so much for all your kindness during my time as a DT Member!!! 

Keep on Crafting!!!

Love,

Pool Party Unicorn

Hello CDD Fans, Waleska here to share with you on Day 4 of our June Release the new Stamp Set "100% Magical"... This set is truly magical with lots of summer Unicorns having fun in the Sun, I know you will love this  new set.  I created this adorable unicorn having fun on a pool maybe in her backyard or on a friend's house... let me share with you now I create this fun card.

CARD DETAILS:

To make this card, I created my own glitter paper by putting Double Sided adhesive tape  (you can find this at the CDD Shop in various sizes) on a white card base and then adding the colored glitter I wanted.  I loove the look of glitter shiny water don´t you?

This adhesive works great and the glitter stays very well.  I then cut this piece with a wave die from the Ocean Border Dies to create the pool water, with a strip of gray cardstock I created the pool border.

I also wanted to create a wood fence, to do that I cut a strip of kraft cardstock, with a scoring board I score every 1/2 inch to create the wood logs after that I used distress inks in a swiping motion in the bottom and on top with colors Rusty Hinge and Vintage Photo.  You should totally try this technique the wood looks awesome.

For the Sun I used the Bright Horizons Stencil with two Oxide inks colors Squeezed Lemonade and  Fossilized Amber.  I adhere every piece to the front part of the card, with an exacto knife I cut a little line in the glitter water to put the unicorn floating.  I finally stamped the sentiment in the right up corner of the card.

I hope you like this card as much as I do and can be as excited as we are for this new Release!!!  Be ready to get your new stamps and dies from this release on June 15th at 3pm.

Have a wonderful day!!!

Gradient Monochromatic

Hello CDD Fans, Waleska here to share my take on a monochromatic card, I love color so this was a great challenge for me, when I search a definition for monochromatic said:  The term Monochrome is usually taken to mean colors black and white, but may also be used to refer to other combinations containing only tones of a single color, so I took this meaning and named my card today gradient monochromatic.

CARD DETAILS:

I started by choosing the color I wanted to use as the base, I choose Twisted Citron oxide ink.  I ink blend the entire front panel of my card and die cut several of the cactus from the Southwestern dies.  I added some water splashes to the die cut panel to give more interest to the piece without the die cut cactus.

I then colored the cactus starting at the bottom with Lucky Clover Oxide ink for a more defined  look to the cactus... and to stay true to the meaning of monochromatic I use green for them too.  I inlay all the cactus and glue them to the front panel.

I added some green sequin stars from the skyfall mix and added the sentiment on a gradient strip of cardstock and stamp the sentiment from the Wild West stamp set.

I hope you like my take on this monochromatic style.  Have a wonderful day!

In the Shop you can find all kinds of Digis for many occasions and the price is unbeatable!!! Let me share with you how I did it this card:

CARD DETAILS:

I started with the background ink blending two oxide inks,starting with Squeezed Lemonade then Worn lipstick, after this two mixed very well together I add some water splashes and I mixed the mention colors before with water and did more splashes!!  I love this look, to break those two colors I also added Lucky Clover splashes. I die cut with kraft cardstock the southwest border and colored the little cactus in the back with the same green I used for the big mugs in the front.  I love working with Digital Stamps, What to know why?

Special Delivery Throwback Stamp Set

Hello CDD Fans, it´s Waleska with a fun card using a throwback stamp set, this card was one of the first card designs I did for CDD, but back then I didn't share how I created the mailing background so I thought I would share with you how I did it... This set is one of my favorites from older releases because... Hey who doesn't love happy mail?  This stamp set is called "Special Delivery" this set is full of cute mailing critters and great sentiments to make someone smile...

CARD DETAILS:

I started cutting 1/2 inch red and blue strips of cardstock, I glue the strips to my card base starting in the center and from that you can glue up or down the following strips alternating the two colors.

At the end you will end with a very colorful background, you can change the colors or even make a rainbow design with this background.  I die cut the biggest rectangle from the Fancy Frame Dies with white cardstock, I made masks of the bunch of letters from the set, and started building the pile of letters.  I first stamp three together, then two and finally one where the cute critter would be sitting.

I colored the letters with the same colors from the background and also the critter with markers.

I adhere the adorable critter sitting on the big pile of letters holding a special letter for someone special and stamped the sentiment with black ink.

This card is super fun and amazing looking, it is very dear to me, because as I mention before it was one of the first card designs I did for CDD, I hope you like it and give this idea a try...

Have a wonderful day!

Using Small Stamped Images

Hello Friends today I wanted to share a very cute card showing you how you can use some of the small images that come on most of your stamp sets, I find that this small images can help you create some quick and simple cards, and because they are small stamps you even save time on the coloring... 

CARD DETAILS:

For my card today I started with the background... Have you check out the amazing new Cloudy Sky Stencil? It is amazing to create a quick and beautiful skys, to color it I used Oxide Inks in colors Blueprint Sketch, Salty Ocean and Cracked Pistachio, I die cut this piece with the largest of the Fancy Frame dies.

I decided to use one of my favorite stamp sets called Special Delivery, this set has some cute critters and lots of mail related small images, I choose some letters in different sizes and a little birdie to create my card today. 

After I colored my little birdie, I cut and adhere all the small stamped images with 3D Foam, I also adhere some small sequin stars and I stamp the sentiment to a banner.

Now is your turn, look for those small stamps on your stamp sets and create quick and fun cards!

Have a wonderful day!
