Two Paper Divas

I continue to have fun with the August release stamps from Two Paper Divas.
Today is another fun card I made using the "My Neighborhood" set for the House, mat, trees and animals.  What I love about Two Paper Diva stamps is that they include so many extras with their sets.

I started with a piece of cardstock 4 x 5 1/4 and using my brayer, colored in the top and bottom of the cardstock.  All the images were stamped individually and fussy cut.  I then placed them on the cardstock to make a fun scene.  I decided to add the Father's Day sentiment because I am now ahead of the season.  Yeah.

Two Paper Divas

I love  the new stamps from Two Paper Divas this month.  I really like the large sentiments that work great in to cards. 
This first card was fun to make because I am practicing the whole watercolor background technique.  I started by taking a piece of watercolor paper and using my zig clean color markers and a water brush and I came up with this fun background.  The name of this stamp set is Let Your Faith which is a beautiful sentiment.
I dressed up this card a bit with some flowers and ribbon.  

Be sure and check out Two Paper Divas and see what they have designed this month.  Always a treat.

Freshly Made Sketches 200

Two Paper Divas is sponsoring Freshly Made Sketches today so I thought I would make a card using the sketch below.

This was a fun sketch for me because it was so simple.  But then I thought WOW that is hard.  HA! 
I am loving these houses from Two Paper Divas.  They are so much fun to play with.  The owl and the spider are from Wicked Wear Accessories and the Sentiment is from Mason Jar Accessories #2.

Be sure and check out the other cards made from the sketch this week.  I am always amazed at what people get from one simple sketch.

Two Paper Divas

I am loving the new release stamps for the month of August from Two Paper Divas.  My cards today are using the new set called My Neighborhood.  It is endless what you can do with these stamps.  The first one is Christmas and I added a few elements from the On The Road Again Accessories  set which included the deer and Merry Christmas light string.  I know they were made to go with the camper set but they sure worked out great from my holiday scene.

 I had a small bat die from Memory Box that worked great for this card.  It was easy to just stamp the houses on gray cardstock and the windows out of yellow cardstock and you have a fun halloween card.
So another fun release from Two Paper Divas.  Be sure and check them out and see what is new this month.

Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge #410

Over at Mojo Monday they are having a sketch challenge.  I love going to their blog to get great ideas for placement on a card when no ideas will come to me.
I decided to use a digital image I purchased called Candy Cane for Snowman that has been designed by "From the Heart Digital Stamps". It is the August Challenge Stamp.
I just love these digital stamps.  I colored it with my copic markers and added some glitter on the snowman hat and the snowflakes.  Be sure and check out the store where you can purchase these digital images designed by From the Heart Digital Stamps.

From The Heart Digital Stamps

For today's card I choose a digital stamp designed by From The Heart Digital Stamps. I have always been a fan of digital stamps and decided it was time to go back to them.  I follow along on their blog
 and I am always so impressed with their design team and what they do with the digital images. 
I made this card using on of their new stamps called Five Party Birds.  I love how you can size their images to any size.  I colored this image using my copic markers.  I then added a few stickles on my cupcakes and candles.  Star Dust seems to be the favorite stickles color for snow and nice sparkles.  I then used a feather die from Inspire and the banner die is from Memory Box.

I have decided to make this card as a entry in to applying to be on their design team.  Wish me luck!

Two Paper Divas

I hop everyone enjoyed the Christmas in July special last week.  I had fun getting a jump start on all my Christmas cards.
Today's fun card is from a silhouette stamp set from Two Paper Divas called Silhouette Circles.    I stamped the image and cut it out with my circle punch.  I made quite a few cards with this set.  I really like this set because you can do so much with it.

Be sure and check out all the new stamps from Two Paper Divas this month.  I'm sure you will love them.
