TWO PAPER DIVAS Design Team Card - Ribbon Valentine

We are approaching Valentine's Day in another month so I decided I needed some more Valentines to send out.  I have so much ribbon, like most of us who craft, so I decided to grab a couple of the Stamps from TWO PAPER DIVAS to create a quick card.

STAMPS:   TWO PAPER DIVAS -  Large Conversation Heart set and the Candy Hearts set

DIES:  Hearts a Flutter Framelits Dies  -  Large Scallop Heart and Small Heart by Stampin'Up

VARIOUS RIBBON - My Stash

CARD STOCK:  Essentials by Ellen - Woodgrain Embossed ; and Neenah Solar White 110 lb.

ACCESSORIES:  Heart Washi Tape;  Pink and White Twine; DoubleBug Pink Sequins and Heart Punch

Once I cut my card stock, I die cut the scallop heart out in the Woodgrain cardstock and laid it on top of the base card.  Once I had it in the correct position, I put pencil marks to show me where the heart will be on the Card Base.  This gives me the positioning I needed to place the rows of various ribbon of choice.  I glued the ribbon down.  I popped up the piece of Woodgrain paper.  See the picture of the card for placement of the Washi Tape and the Twine running through the three hearts.          

Now in hind site, I will have the Gals in Card Class on Tuesday use the "Lips" from the TWO PAPER DIVAS - Sending Love - set of stamps on the inside around the Candy Hearts in 3 places. Spark a little red color!!!  I probably will used a little touch of Wink of Stella .... perhaps!!

Have a wonderful DAY!!

TWO PAPER DIVAS Design Team card - Birthday Fishes 2016

What a wonderful "sweet" Birthday Stamp set from TWO PAPER DIVAS for January 2016!!!  I love my window dies and what a perfect time to use one.

I will be back to do my write up!!!

Okay .... here it goes with one of favorite cards in a while!!  First of all .... my go to Die set for the front of my cards so many times is this wonderful set of combination Dies from Mama Elephant (Clearly Creative Cuts).  I will use one or the other or a combo of both in the same colors or accent colors as I have done here.  AND then one of the adorable Mini Windows by Julie Ebersole for Essentials by Ellen.  This concept of dies just screamed for me to use my new TPDiva Fishes!!

STAMPS:  TWO PAPER DIVAS Stamp Set - Best Fishes

INK PENS:  Tombow Water Color Pens - chosen only for the colors - No Watercolor technique was done

WINK OF STELLA - Clear Brush for the Fishes/Bubbles

Black and White Twine

These little guys will return soon to another card and perhaps like Melissa's (TPD co-owner) card using the bubble gum machine.  Check out her card on twopaperdivas.com.




 

TWO PAPER DIVAS Design Team Card - Misti Flower - 2016

Christmas has come and gone and I must have been a "good girl" because Santa brought me what I wanted, needed and drooled over during 2015.  The Misti Stamping Tool by My Sweet Petunia is such a fabulous tool and I am sure there are others out there, like myself, who wish that we would have invented it!!!  But, thank you Santa for seeing that it made it's way into my Craft Room!!

The card I have focused on here was created using the Misti tool and thanks to TWO PAPER DIVAS for creating this delightful floral set to design my first card for 2016.

TOOL:  Misti Positioner

CARD CLASSES - December 17, 2015

The week of December 13th, we had a wonderful, beautiful snow which caused me to cancel the two card classes which were to be held on Dec. 15, 2015.  The gals were awesome and all were able to reschedule to Thursday, Dec. 17 with the exception of one.  So, I had six students for the AM Class and 5 for the PM Class.  

The card in the lower left (Birthday Fishes) is a sneak peak of a new release by Two Paper Divas.  What is hidden behind the tied off doors is so cute.  Stay tuned to my BLOG for the reveal in early January, 2016.  

MERRY CHRISTMAS to ALL of my Card Making Friends.  May your Holidays be just the best!!!

TWO PAPER DIVAS Design Team Card - A String of Valentines!

I could not resist doing another card with one of the December release TWO PAPER DIVAS's stamp sets.  Love this one Melissa and Gayla.  Soooooo sweet!!!

I backed the "happy" die (from W Plus 9) with the Red Foil paper from Stampin'Up.  Then using the piece from the die cut, I offset it on the card.

STAMPS:   Two Paper Divas - "String of Hearts" & "Simple Phrases"

CARDSTOCK & PAPER:  Bazzill - Marshmallow &  "Love Letters" from Gina K. Designs

Enjoy your Holidays!!!

Happy Card Making!!!

TWO PAPER DIVAS Design Team Card - Bubble Gum Day!!

Love, Love, Love the "New" Two Paper Divas December stamp release which just came out on Saturday (5th).  I have used two sets of this release on this card.  You can see below which sets. Although I do not chew gum anymore (???), do you not remember as a child how fun these machines were!!!!  Saved those pennies or was it a nickel??

STAMPS:  Two Paper Divas -  "I Chews You" set and the single word on the layered
paper from the set "Large Conversation Heart".                  

PAPER:  Bazzill - Easter Green;  Essentials by Ellen - Woodgrain Embossed White Cardstock; 110   lb. wt. Neenah Solar White for the top layer.

RIBBON:  Hug Snug White Seam Binding.

Wink of Stella - Clear

INK:   Memento:  Grape Jelly, Bahama Blue, Lilac Posies and Bamboo Leaves.

For the ribbon, I used 4 different clean pencil erasers and stamped them into the 4 inks and then stamped it on the seam binding.  Just like in all design, repeating the ink color on the ribbon, gum balls and the word "Sweet" on the background, it will give the continuity needed on the card.

Happy Stamping!!!
