Stamping with Dies/adding small Die Cut Accents to Create a Background

Hello there, Waleska from craftinglovew here... thank you for stopping by!!!! Today I want to share a set of cards I create, with the Stamping with Dies Technique.  When I created this cards I was thinking of a set of cards you can give to someone as a present, so they can give away for different occasions... For that purpose I used the word WISHING in the front of the 3 cards so the person you give this cards, can decide what to write inside each the card: Wishing you get better, Wishing you were here, Wishing a happy anniversary... let me share how I create them:



CARD DETAILS:

I started by cutting some flowers and leaves from fun foam (any kind would work) to create my stamps, I adhere them to an acrylic block and decide my ink color combo... I went for my favorite combination of teal colors from Lawn Fawn.



I started stamping with the lightest color ink and the smallest flower die, leaving some blank spaces to add more flowers, I then used the second color of ink to stamp with other color the big flower, I also added some dots with a pencil eraser.



I created 3 different backgrounds with this die cut flowers following the same instruccions from the first example, I just tried to fill the most part of my white card panels with the different flowers and leaves.


I die cut the wishing word from gold cardstock and I also from gold cardstock I cut some small die cuts to create dimension and accentuate the gold on my card bases.


We all have some small dies that can be used to add dimension to our cards I used some little leaves, some palm tree leaves and the tiniest circles too.


I adhere my stamped panel to a gold background and then to a white card base.


I hope you like my cards and can give this idea a try, use your dies to create fun backgrounds and also use your small dies to create card accents!


Have a wonderful day!

Pastel Unicorns


Welcome to my blog....
 with this card I am starting a
new adventure that I just know will be so much 
fun and will give me the opportunity to meet 
more amazing people.

This card is my first one on the New Blog


where I am part of their Design Team
I invite you to participate and have FUN!!!

The Challenge #1
Anything Goes


For my card Today I used the new and Amazing
Oxide Inks
I currently own 8 colors but my favorites would be:

1. Cracked Pistachio
2.Worn Lipstick
3. Broken China 
4. Faded Jeans



The first thing I did was sponging the Worn Lipstick
Oxide ink directly to my paper and next I flick 
Cracked Pistachio and Wilted Violet mixed with water 
to my pink piece and because of the water I added
to those two colors they made very vibrant
flicks.


I play a lot with my distress oxides and the end result
I LOVE THEM!
They totally have a new look from other inks.


Hope you can be inspired and start experimenting
with your Oxides if you just don't know if they are
for you I suggest buying two or three, try them
out and then if you like them buy the rest.

Have a wonderful day,

Waleska

Hug in a Mug



Hello my card for today is for the Coffee Lovers Blog Hop
I don't drink coffee at all but I wanted to participate
with this cute digi stamp from Craftin Desert Divas

 

I use the new coffee theme digital stamps 
you can find them here Craftin Desert Divas


            

I use the sentiment that goes with this digi stamp
inside the card.  I just use my markers to color 
the images and resize them! That is the great thing
about Digital Stamps.

          

I also use the Fancy Frame Dies from 
Craftin Desert Divas 

Hope you can be inspired by my card...

Have a nice day

Waleska
