Hello everyone. So I was recently cleaning out my craft room and decided to purge a bunch of neglect stamps but I also found a bunch I love but just have not done any projects with. I decided to stamp some up and get to work.

 

As you can see, this cutie is from the Greeting Farm-Dollie with Cupcake. I colored her up with some girly pink tones this time using my copic markers. The sentiment is also part of the stamp set too.

 

This one will be going in my Birthday card stash.  The paper is from Carta Bella Home Sweet Home Collection and them added some enamel dots.

For those who may be wondering the skin colors, I used E00,E11,E13,E15 with R32 for cheeks.

Welcome back everyone. It is me, Olivia. To all those in the USA, Happy Memorial Day weekend. Hope it turns out to be a lovely one for you. 

 

My project for today is both for inspiration with a bit of steps on how to do it. I decided to try a new technique and make a shaker card. I have only done one or two but learned a new trick of using foam to pop up the die.

 

 

 

The first step is to cut the die on the pattern paper from this fantastic die by Die-Version Whispers Hot Air Balloon Birthday.  Then I ran the foam and die to cut out a thick piece. I used some thin plastic from my stash and did an outline of the top part of the balloon die and cut it to shape. I glued to plastic to the pattern paper and glued to foam to the cardstock and put the sparkles in before I glued the plastic/patterned die to the foam piece.  I added some pearls for accents and used the birthday sentiment die that is part of this set as well. I really like that the sentiment comes with it but cuts separately so allows you to option to not use it for other projects.

 

Enjoy the rest of your weekend and be sure to check out all the fantastic dies available at the Dies R Us Store; and do not forget to come join in the fun at the Dies R Us Challenge Blog! A new challenge is offered on the 1st and 15th of each month with a Gift Certificate to one winner

The first step was to use my Distress Inks and sponge the stencil on the paper. This stencil is from the fantastic collection available under Memory Box called-Birthday. I used my stamped my image and colored it with my Copics.  I paired it with Die-Mensions-Birthday Topper that served as a great sentiment.

Dies R Us Post

Hello Everyone. It is Olivia and welcome to my first DT post for Dies R Us.  Today I decided to showcase a technique called Inlaid Dies.  As my preferred style is more CAS in nature, I thought this was a great way to create a card without too many layers but still pops of color.

 For this project I started off with a colored image from Stamping Bella.  I took the image and cut it out with the Die-versions Stitched Circles.  I took the blue paper and  also cut an exact circle with that same die.  Just like in a puzzle you fit your cut out in the empty space. I cut the Die-Mensions Arrow Love This die on some matching yellow paper and cut the Love This out on the blue paper and placed the yellow die into the spot.  I did my usual coloring with Copics and then added some pearls for bling.

Thanks so much for stopping by and check back every day for more great inspiration from all the girls on the design team.
