Four Corners Delicate Pies Cards

  Hello my crafty and stamping friends.   Today I am sharing another 4 corners card set created by stamping my images along both centers of my trimmed cardstock( to 8x10.5 inches).   Here I did decide to use Soft Sea Foam for my background. Stamping was done with the Delicate Pies Stamp Set in Soft Sea Foam, Shaded Spruce and Pecan Pie.   I am LOVING the Soft Sea Foam and Shaded Spruce together!   And just look at that two- tone ribbon from the annual Catalog!   Stunning!

I loved the opportunity to show off a larger sentiment and the Designer papers. Just add some offset squares of designer paper and add a large sentiment in the middle!   A simple but highly effective sketch! Papers are from the Delicate Pines suite and the Stamps are from the Keeping Traditions stamp set and the Seasonal Tags Stamp set.

Watercolors Background with Lights and Wonder Dies

 Hello my craft friends.  Today I am sharing these cards inspired from the World Card Making Day examples.  These cards feature inky backgrounds, stencils mirror image using the die cut leftovers and die cut tress from the Light and Wonder dies. To create the inky backgrounds I simply stamped my 2 ink colors on to my glass board (or large stamp block) and spritzed with water. I then laid my Basic White paper into the wet ink and let dry.
