Hi!  Chris here and today I am sharing this adorable card I created using Dare 2B Artzy's new papers and Stamps! To create this card I started by matting 2 pieces of the Blissful Bloom paper (the A and B sides) onto dark blue card stock and then attached it to my card base.  I then stamped the Dream Catcher from the Dream Big Stamp Set onto white card stock.  I then used a scalloped circle punch to punch out the dream catcher and matted the scalloped circle on silver scalloped circle and then a dark blue scalloped circle. I added the scalloped circle onto the bottom of the card. I stamped my greeting from the Dream Big set and double matted the greeting onto the silver and then the blue card stock.  You can see how the tiny bit of silver really makes everything POP!   I finished off the card by adding a silver bow and a white paper flower.  I did use a Tim Holtz Distress Marker to tint the edges of the flower!   I hope you are inspired ...

Today I would like to share my take on this weeks Sketches in Thyme   sketch!  I decided to some of the Brand New Dare 2B Artzy Modern Bliss Papers    just look at these pretty papers! So hop on over to   Sketches in Thyme   to play along with this week's sketch.

Hi Chris here!  Today I would like to share a layout I created using the Brand New Dare 2B Artzy Stamps and papers! To create this layout I started by stamping the Flower from the Blissful Blooms stamp set using the Premium Midnight Blue ink.  I then created the "leaves" by stamping the Paisley from the Paisley Bliss stamp set. I fussy cut both the flowers and the leaves. I placed the matted photos onto my background which I created using the Modern Bliss papers - Botanical Breeze and Paisley. The thin blue polka dot strip is a bonus "cut away" strip on the Paisley paper.  After adding my stamped flowers and leaves as accents I created my title block using the "Beautiful" stamp from the Big Bloom Stamp set. Using my scraps I created this coordinating card using the Thinking of You stamp from the Blissful Blooms stamp set.  Hope you are inspired to get stamping!

Hi Today I am sharing my take on this month's Dare 2B Artzy's monthly challenge.  The theme  is Fall!  To create this card I started with kraft cardstock, Dare 2B Artzy Texture A stamp set, Tim Holtz Distress Cardstock, and Tim Holtz Distress Inks ( Forrest Moss, Rusty Hinge, Fossilized Amber, & Fired Brick). I started by stamping my image onto kraft cardstock.  I then stamped my image onto a piece a leftover cardstock and fussy cut out the image to use as a mask. I placed the "mask" over the stamped image and stamped the leave in another color. You can see below how this creates a layered image. I continued stamping until my entire card was filled up.  I then matted the card and added my greeting with Dare 2B Artzy Stamps. I hope you enjoyed this technique!

   Still inspired by this month's blog hop theme, I decided to get a jump start on some of my Christmas Cards. I absolutely fell in love with this adorable Dare 2B Artzy stamp set called Santa's Team.    I decided to pair the stamp set with D2BA new Christmas paper!!!!!  The result is adorable!  This is a relatively easy card. I started by stamping my image with D2BA's Totally Black ink. I used my Spetrum Noir markers to color in the image. I used the blender pen and JG1, JG3, CT3, GB5, BT1, PP1, DR1, DR3, DR6, FS2, IG6, IG3, IG8, TN2, TN9, TN3, TN5 & TN7. Here is a close up of the stamp! I then stamped a banner greeting using D2BA Pomegranate Ink.  I matted the stamped image and banner onto coordinating cardstock and then onto white cardstock.  I added the matted image to D2Ba's Winter Plaid paper and topped it off with some jute and a jingle bell!  Hope you are inspired to get stamping!  Winter Plaid Paper ...
