{ Sassy Birthday Stamp Set from Technique Tuesday }

I have one more card to share with you using Sassy Birthday Stamp Set and Celebrate DIY Steel Die.

Celebrate by Daniela Dobson

I embossed a part of the circle using my new embossing diffuser tempate from Sizzix. I love it. The font in Celebrate DIY Steel Die is my favorite. I die cut the word from pink cardstock. To adhere the die cut word I like to use my Therm O Web Mini Dot Sticky Runner. The background is inked with a mask and distress ink. I heat embossed “happy birthday” from Sassy Birthday Stamp Set.

{ Impression Obsession Design Team Thursday }

It is my turn today to share a card I made using Impression Obsession stamps and dies. Here is what I created.

I used a brand new stamp set called Mix It Up Florals.

Miss you by Daniela Dobson

I traced a circle die on white cardstock and stamped the flowers in black ink. I colored the flowers with my brand new Mermaid Markers from Jane Davenport. Once it was dry I die cut the circle.
The scalloped frame is from Circle Shaker Frame Die.

The background is stamped with Vintage Briar Rose Background in yellow ink and embossed with a triangle folder that I love!!! Some twine and “miss you” from Social Greetings 1 propped up with tiny 3D foam squares from Therm O Web.

Happy day by Daniela Dobson

I stamped and fussy cut the bunny, along with his tail. He is adhered with 3D foam squares. I tied thin ribbon at the bottom, by his feet, and added a stamped sentiment from the same stamp set: Bunny Love.

{ Floral Inspiration with Elle’s Studio }

Good morning and happy Valentine’s Day. I have a card on Elle’s Studio blog showcasing our February 2017 kit and extras. I knew I was posting on Valentine’s Day, but wanted to create someting different.

EllesStudio-DanielaDobson-Hello-01

I was inspired by the 3″ x 4″ floral background tag from the kit and wanted to use it as a focal element on my card. I used my watercolor crayons to color in the flowers and leaves on the journaling card background- just a little touch of color with the crayon and a little water with the paint brush to move the color around. I added a little bit of color to the diamond patterned paper of the card base as well.

EllesStudio-DanielaDobson-Hello-02

I cut a strip of yellow from one of the patterned papers in the Sunny Days 12 x 12 Paper Collection and used my fringe scissors to add a fringe to the paper strip. I cut the striped border journaling tag from Love You Journaling Tags in half and adhered it behind my watercolored flower journaling card. The fringe was added to the bottom and a little twine tied in a bow to the front. I added the yellow heart sticker from the Speech Bubble Stickers and layered the colorful banner tag from the February 2017 Exclusive Kit. It was the perfect way to pull all of the colors together.

I used a gray marker to draw the flowers onto white cardstock, then I colored them with the same watercolor crayons. They are a larger version of the ones on the journaling card. I fussy cut them and adhered them to the front with 3D foam squares. Above the flowers, the “hello” sticker from the Speech Bubble Stickers created the perfect sentiment!

EllesStudio-DanielaDobson-Hello-03

Thanks for stopping by and don’t forget to share your projects inspired by this post using Elle’s Studio products using the hashtag #EllesStudio on social media for a chance to win a $10 gift certificate to the Elle’s Studio shop!

{ My Favorite Things sketch and color challenge }

It’s Saturday and so gloomy outside. I was cleaning my desk and wanted to look around to see if there was a fun challenge. I totally love the blue and gray from the Color Challenge #62 and decided to participate in the sketch challenge, as well. I love all the new stamps that are coming out and really need to add some more to my very small collection.

Here is my card.

Sending hugs by Daniela Dobson

I love how this card came together. I used Beast Friends stamp set and dies. I colored him with watercolor. “Sending hugs” was the extra die that came with my order. The hearts are die cut from white cardstock that I colored with Blueberry ink. The heart die is from Tag Builder Blueprints. The diamond shape under the Beast is a tree from Oh Christmas Trees stamp set. I stamped them with Tropical Teal and Spearmint and cut them out. The polka dot strip is a piece of washi. I used 3D foam squares to add dimension to the little Beast.

Sending hugs close by Daniela Dobson

That is all I have for today. Let me know if you have any questions.

Have a great Saturday!

{ Impression Obsession DT challenge – Think Pink }

Hi and welcome to our  Impression Obsession challenge – Think Pink.

Here is a card I created with our brand new stamps.

Love you by Daniela Dobson

I stamped a white piece of cardstock with Cover-a-card Background stamp called Desiderata. It’s a poem. I loosely covered it with white gesso and added Whipped Spackle through a chevron stencil. I colored the space with watercolor.

I created a little tag by stamping  a part of Rambling Roses stamp on the right side and adding watercolor. The sentiment is from Delightful Donuts stamp set. I layered a tag with twine and a glitter strip and a flower and stitched the front with black thread.
 Love you close by Daniela Dobson
