Birthday Hugs

It's Nanné here to share a cute Birthday themed card using the bookworm from the Beyond Measure stamp set which is the stamp set I'm showcasing today and some of the dies from both Fancy Frames, Mix it up and Pocket Pieces Hi die set.

Here is what I created:

I used some of my favorite papers to go with this card..

I came up with the card idea when my youngest son told me he felt like a nerd asking for books for Christmas this year :) He really wanted the hard cover set of the Lord of the Rings..

I used the fancy frames dies to cut a frame out of the front of the card, then I was able to use the cut out to add my stamp image to and I added that to the inside of my card :)

Here you can see the tabs I added, plus my cut out needed a little something, so used the bigger fancy frames dies, to create the scalloped edge :)

Holiday Hugs

Hello there! Here's Giorgia from Ciocioscrap with a card showcasing the Beyond Measure stamp and die set. I thought it was fun to use this set to create a holiday card, so here's my card for you!

I took a piece of kraft cardstock and stamped some snowflakes with versamark, then heat embossed in clear.

I decided to use a green paper to stamp the ruler three times, in order to create a triangle that can recall a Christmas tree. I stamped again with versamark but used a gold embossing powder this time. I put a red felt star at the top of my special tree!

I stamped the worms, die cut them with the appropiate die, and colored them slightly with copics. I adhered them with foam tape and put the sentiment, in white, inside of an oval form.

Hope you like this card! Below you can find the products' list. Thank you for stopping by!!

Wanna Hug

Hello Crafters!

This is Lori with got2bcrafting.

I hope you had a joyous and blessed Christmas day.

As you know, during the month of December, the Craftin Desert Divas Design Team has been showcasing one stamp set for 3 consecutive, in which during these 3 days is on sale at the CDD Shop.

Today's featured stamp set is: Wanna Hug?

Here is what I created using this stamp set:

Isn't this jellyfish just the cutest???

I created a template using the "Stitched In Circle Dies".

By using the negative of the circle die, I was able to create the mask so I could use my distress inks for the water background.

The sand was created by first using a die from the "Outdoor Landscape Dies", and then cut again with the same circle die I used for the background. I then stamped the sand grains with the newly released "Across the Borders" stamp set.
