Two Paper Divas

I can't believe that I am working on Christmas Cards already.  My goal this year is to have 100 cards ready by Thanksgiving.  Today's card is refreshing to look at because it is pretty hot here in the Midwest. Hard to believe I am thinking snow.

For today's card I used the Tree Stamp set   from Two Paper Divas. I stamped the tree image on Crumb Cake cardstock and colored it with my copic markers.  The red bird is a Memory Box die.  The Merry Christmas is from the Holiday Sentiments set from Two Paper Divas.

This card will be a nice addition to the collection of cards I am making.

Monday I hope to start a week long Christmas special of cards that I have made using Two Paper Diva Stamps.  I even hope to have a little contest next Friday with a prize package.

Time again for another fun card for Two Paper Divas.

For today's card, I used Two Paper Divas fun tree stamp.  It is so versatile and can be used for any season.  I decided to make mine a spring card using the grass and ladybugs from the Catch Me if You Can Stamp Set.  The flower and butterfly are from the Mason Jar Access #1 Set.

It is quite warm here in the Midwest so a little spring in my card sounded refreshing.

Next week I am starting a 2 week Christmas in July.  Be sure and check back because I am hoping to have some prizes.

I am putting off using some of my new images from Two Paper Divas this month because I am thinking towards the end of the month I am going to have a Christmas in July week with possible prizes.  I know it is tough to think Christmas but I have to make about 120 Christmas cards so it doesn't do me any good to procrastinate and wait until the last minute to start my cards.

Since I have been having so much fun with my watercolors lately I thought I would try making another card using water colors.  I started with the mason jar stamp and then used the flowers from the Mason Jar Accessories #1.  I used a Kaleidoscopic embossing powder to give it a little shine.  I then used the border from The Mason Jar Accessories #3 stamp set.  I then colored in the water and the flowers with my Zig Clean Watercolor Markers. 

So I am still enjoying the watercoloring but working on perfecting my technique.

See you next week.

Today I am posting a fun card I made using the stamp set "On the Road Again" from Two Paper Divas.

 

I made this card for a challenge group I am in on Splitcoast Stampers.  This is truly a talented group of ladies.  July was my month and I selected this image for everyone to come up with a card.  If you go HERE throughout the month, you will see what everyone else does with this adorable set.

I would like to thank Melissa and Gayla from Two Paper Divas in letting me use this image for our challenge this month.  I am so thankful to be on the design team for the nicest 2 gals.

Be sure and check Two Paper Divas blog  on July 6 because I am thinking we will be seeing Christmas in July.

You are not going to believe my card today.  One of the releases this month from Two Paper Divas is a halloween set called Wicked Wear Accessories.  It goes along perfectly with the Wanna Hang Out stamp set.

This is just a fun card to make.  The skeleton was part of the design paper.  I then added the cute little images from the Wicked Wear set that I colored with my copic markers.  The Happy Halloween sentiment is from the Mason Jars Access #2 set.

It is only 4 months until Halloween.  Start your cards now and you will have them ready.  Always fun to get a jump start on holiday cards.

Time again for another post for Two Paper Divas.  This week I decided to make another card using the new Hooters stamp.  I don't make anniversary cards very often but I just think this is the perfect image for anniversary with those 2 cute owls.  The Happy Anniversary sentiment is from the Everyday Sentiment stamp set that is my go to stamp when I need just the right sentiment.

Be sure and check out the other great releases this month for Two Paper Divas.

Stained Glass Look

I am really in to trying different techniques right now.  There are so many fun things to try.  Maybe a new technique once a week would be fun. 

Today's technique is called Stained Glass.  I first saw a video by Shelly Godby (Stamping Smiles).  Basically I stamped the front of the vellum with black embossing powder and Versamark Ink.  I then colored the back of the flowers with my Stampin Up Markers. Give this technique a try.  It sure is fun and easy.

The flower stamp is from Stampin Up called Bloom with Hope.  The designer paper is Howdy Doody from My Mind's Eye.  I couldn't decide what to do with the image after I played with it so I went to Sketch Saturday and found this great sketch.  Worked perfect in to my card.
